- PPhilTampa / Central Florida West •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFirst time going to this little spot on Central in DTSP, loved it as I’m getting older I’m finding the part of being able to have a conversation with my wife and not having to fight the guy blasting his turntables or guitar while I’m trying to enjoy a nice dinner a HUGE plus! Our server Ally was top notch super attentive my buddies pizza was not to his liking but he ordered pasta instead and they brought it out I’d say fairly quick. It was the only reason I hit them with a 4 star on the food but overall really enjoyed this place and the service.More infoBavaro's Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria-St PetePrice: Moderate• Italian• St. Petersburg•4.7
