Host, waiter- all were very pleasant, accommodating. Best Pasta Ala Vodka I’ve had! Food was really fresh and hot, delicious. Drinks were great. Looking forward to going back soon.

I would recommend Bavaros to friends and family! The pizza was very good! Authentic flavor and texture of a truly Italian pizza. The flavors were balanced and elevated on every dish. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals and the quality of the food/ingredients was exceptional.

We found this place by mistake, and boy, are we glad we did! The restaurant is super cute, has outside seating, indoor seating, and upstairs. Our food was so yummy. We had a Margherita pizza and an Americano pizza. The drinks were fabulous as well. Our server, Doug, was a gem! He was super attentive and really funny. A definite must go.

I have been to the Tampa location for Bavaro’s multiple times but this was the first time I got to go to the Sarasota location! I love the vibe of the indoor area, I love the covered, patio section of the outdoor area! Music! The servers at the Sarasota location were super on point. Ask for Richie! He is sassy enough to make you laugh and the food…. Well… I haven’t had much better Italian food than Bavaro’s

Excellent wood fired pie. A bit dark on the one side so could of been rotated a bit quicker from the flame side but I tried others in our party as well and they all were very good but with the similar burn on the one edge. The limoncello had a very good lemon ricotta on it. The salad was very big and able to be shared. The server was great. Attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

Hosted a baby shower there recently on a Sunday. Chelsea made everything so easy for us, we had the entire patio with an amazing charcuterie spread followed by the best pizza. All of the guests loved the food and location, and they even arranged for a musician who really made the party so classy. Would definitely recommend hosting your next event here.

Probably my favorite pizzeria. This is not a ‘buy a slice’ kind of place. Very nice, outdoor seating, live music many nights, wonderful service every time I’ve been here. And don’t hold it against the Bavaro family if they’re thin and fit. Rumor has it they EAT LIKE ITALIANS but are blessed with fantastic metabolism. And they run this fantastic restaurant.

Amazing! We came here for a dinner and as soon as we walked in, the air was filled with positive energy with kind hostess and waiters! As a starter, we got the verde arugula salad and chicken wings, which was absolute delicious! The arugula was crisp and fresh along with the chicken wings savory and crisp taste. Later we order a kids cheese pizza and the margarita which was also delicious! The pizza dough was soft and fluffy. Will definitely be coming back!

Amazing customer service and attention to detail! Everything was delicious! We had a birthday party here and Bavaros was kind enough to host us and they were on their A game all night! We had so much fun and are so much good food! Such a beautiful setting as well!
