Bavaro's story is one of passion, tradition, hard work, and integrity, echoing the essence of true Neapolitan cuisine. Recognized as the Best Pasta in Sarasota and honored with the distinguished Pasta Perfection Award, Bavaro's journey began in March 2009, establishing itself as Florida's inaugural traditional Neapolitan Pizzeria. This achievement stands as a testament to the unwavering dedication of Dan Bavaro, his wife Anna-Maria, and their five children. Leaving behind their roots in New Jersey, they embarked on a mission to share their cherished family recipes and the heartfelt warmth of their own dinner table with others.
At the heart of Bavaro's mission lies a dedication to the artistry and craftsmanship of Neapolitan pizza. Upholding centuries-old traditions, the pizzeria employs hand-crafted, wood-fired brick ovens crafted by third-generation Neapolitan artisans, a 100-year-old yeast culture, and authentic Neapolitan recipes passed down through generations. Every ingredient, carefully sourced from Italy, contributes to the authenticity that defines Bavaro's culinary offerings.
What began as a modest downtown Tampa eatery seating 50 guests has blossomed into a global brand with a reputation for unwavering quality. With additional locations in St. Petersburg, Tampa International Airport, and Sarasota, Bavaro's commitment to excellence remains unwavering. Pioneering the Neapolitan pizza culture, Bavaro's has set the benchmark for authentic Italian cuisine, leaving an indelible mark on the culinary landscape and inspiring others within the industry to follow suit.

We are originally from New York and have not found good pizza 🍕 in Florida until now! We look forward to trying the pasta dishes on our next visit. Service is excellent and the prices are reasonable.
