Amazing food! Just right menu size. Outstanding service! Anthony was so friendly and knowledgeable. We've visited Bavaro's each of our trips to Clearwater and will always recommend and go back.
Be careful hostess team overbooks or do not have good control over the room. Food was great, table service was excellent, was a bit expensive (expected).
Food was great, service was good/average but they do rush you through and pack ya in. Would go back though.
An amazing restaurant, we had the Bruschetta Appetizer and limoncello Pizza with a Caesar salad ... all the dishes were unique and tasted amazing. The imaginative way they made and present the Bruschetta appetizer is something to behold, I highly recommend you try . We will definitely be back on our next Clearwater Beach visit.
Their burrata pizza was outstanding! Absolutely delicious l!! The service was quick and very attentive. Overall a great dining experience!
A gem on Clearwater Beach! Made fresh to order with excellent ingredients and tremendous portion sizes. Delicious pasta and pizza. Open air kitchen, dishes come out hot and fresh. Excellent spot on the strip!
Upon walking up on Friday around 5:30pm, the restaurant was not packed. We went to the hostess area and both women looked at us and asked if we had a reservation we said no. They both said unfortunately we only have these tables (outside) available. I looked at them and said but you have tables inside available. Apparently those were all reserved so I went on OpenTable right in front of them and booked a 6pm reservation that was open. They looked at each other and were like oh well we will make it work. I just can't even fathom that these people work in the food industry! The waiter we got was very nice and attentive. Coming from New Jersey, the pizza was nothing impressive but the sauce was amazing in which I kept dipping because it was a dry pie. The garlic bread was good and my kids loved the pasta. Would I go back, maybe if I'm drunk and didn't have to deal with those two women but not a bad spot.
Service super rushed Barely finishing apps as food came out Should have been told that water for the table was $8 per bottle Wish there were more options for sauce without meat
Offered still vs sparkling water and we got charged 32 dollars for water at the end. We have dined at many restaurants in the area and this has not happened thus far. The bruschetta was excellent and we liked the meatballs. The pizzas were burnt badly on the bottom and it negatively impacted the taste. We brought this to the attention of our waiter and he brought out the same pizza a few minutes later in the same condition. The vodka sauce was good.
Great place to go for pizza and wings. On Wednesdays they have half price wine on bottles and on Thursday no corkage fee if you want to bring your own. Great food, great service.

True Italian dishes conveniently located on the beach strip. Best vodka sauce ever! Accommodated a vegetarian dish request without any issues.
Food was great. We came at a very busy time and they couldn't find my reservation. I showed the hostess my confirmation but I still had to wait for a bit: not too bad .
The food was incredible. Pasta made from scratch. Fresh ingredients and flavorful sauces. It was one of the best Italian meals I have had since being in Italy.
Long time supporter of two locations. Last night we go for dinner, as locals to support local businesses, especially after what happened to their CWB location due to the storms, and waitress and manager try to sell a 5.99 btl of wine in place of the $20ish bottle that was listed on their list for $63. Waitress lied and said they didn't have the wine then the manager comes over and says we have it but I'm trying to move this other one ( the cheap one) at full price. We decided to leave as it certainly was poorly handled and we're not about to drop a couple hundred dollars there - as we walk out the manager calls the cops as expressed my extreme disappointment in the experience. If a restaurant manager calls the police on an upstanding patron due to their engagement of fraud, then absolutely DO NOT support this establishment. They are effectively taking advantage of unassuming tourists - and when called out on it, they became extremely defensive. Stay far away. It's really too bad.
Pizza was so soggy it should have been served in a bowl. Not what I expect from this type of restaurant. Server claimed that Neapolitan pizza is this way. I don't believe it. Won't be going back unless I can be sure the pizza isn't swimming in water and oil.
