Just wasn’t Italian food. The Penne ala Vodka was more like Mac and cheese. The wings were a confusing combination…not good. Great location great service but the food was not great.

Great service. Everyone was friendly and our server Hugh did an outstanding job. Food-wise the bruschetta was too hard to bite into, the broccolini appetizer was undercooked and the pizza was so runny all the toppings fell off when you picked up a slice. One of our party would not eat the pizza he ordered. The restaurant is nicely setup and I enjoyed that aspect of the visit.

We visited Bavaro’s when we came to Clearwater! The food was fantastic! I shared the Ravioli Al Formaggio and cheese garlic bread with my friend and it was amazing! It was huge portions so plenty of food for the both of u! ! We tried to get in on Thursday evening but with a party of 8 it was going to take an hour for them to seat us so we ended up going to a different restaurant. We made resv for the following evening. Would highly recommend!! It’s a smaller restaurant so it gets packed quick!!

I had a party of 8 including to children aged 10and 12 so we ordered a little bit of everything and shared as much as possible. The 2 biggest standouts in my opinion were the meatballs and the white pizza fungi (wished I had ordered more for the table). Overall a great experience, with a knowledgeable staff and very attentive management. Thank you...

Excelent pizza. We order Margarita and Nutella. The tomato soup was outstanding. My only suggestion: my Daugther had birthday. They brought a beautiful Nutella pizza with a cande, but non of the restaurant team members came to the table to sing happy birthday.
