We visit Bavaro's of Sarasota every Friday evening where they serve the best wood-fired Pizza Napolitana you will find, coupled with a staff and service excellence that is second to none. However, don't stop at that, as the menu is filled with deliciously creative appetizers and uniquely prepared entrees sure to please; and, be sure to save room for dessert! Bavaro's even makes their own tiramisu and cannoli in- house - even the shells - providing the best finish ever with a dessert cocktail, a cup of coffee or espresso sure to please. Mangia and enjoy!
