    My family had never been. If you haven’t, it’s definitely an experience to remember! And staff were so great! Definitely go, but don’t go overboard on extras offered because the 4-course meals are a ton of food!

    Another fabulous Friday pizza night at Bavaro's. The wood fired oysters appetizer was so delicious and the pizza margherita is always perfect! Enjoyed an espresso martini in honor of our forever server, Steven's, birthday. It was so delicious. If you are searching for the best Pizza Napolitana, look no further than Bavaro's. It's there waiting for you.

    The food and service are outstanding. They are by far the best value in Sarasota....3 courses for less than $40 for great food is crazy good. We have always received great, attentive service whether we were outside on their patio or inside.

Thank you all at Mediterraneo Ristorante Italiano for a wonderful dining experience last evening,
