- HHannahvipOrlando / Central Florida East •11 reviews4.0Dined 7 days agoBavaros is always one of my favorite places to dine. However, this time, the Ceaser salad was way too fishy and the lettuce was saturated in it. Both pizzas were burned on the bottom too. Also, we were dining with friends and unfortunately, did not receive the happy hour price on several glasses of wine that was purchased. An oversight that I did not check until the following day, reviewing the receipt. Overall, we will be back, but will definitely be checking the itemized before paying (and skipping the salad).More infoBavaro's Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria-St PetePrice: Moderate• Italian• St. Petersburg•4.7
- OTOpenTable DinerNorthwest Florida •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 19, 2024From the get go, our server Vanja, was top notch. He was quick to notice our reservation notes that we were celebrating our anniversary and truly made us feel very welcomed. The whole meal was not rushed, and we got to enjoy appetizers and our amazing cocktails with out feeling like we had to hurry up before the next course was delivered. Each course was incredibly delicious and beautifully displayed. Such a great dining experience!!More infoFortuPrice: Very Expensive• Pan-Asian• St. Petersburg•4.8
