It was a packed night at Clearwater Beach so I can understand things being a little crazy. The food was very good but the limoncello pizza was undercooked and doughy. It was very good but would have been great if cooked longer on the bottom.

The service was fabulous, our server was incredible. The rest of the experience was not so good! Ordered a glass of wine that had gone to vinegar. Penne all a vodka had a horrible ketchup sweet taste.

Just wasn’t Italian food. The Penne ala Vodka was more like Mac and cheese. The wings were a confusing combination…not good. Great location great service but the food was not great.

Great service. Everyone was friendly and our server Hugh did an outstanding job. Food-wise the bruschetta was too hard to bite into, the broccolini appetizer was undercooked and the pizza was so runny all the toppings fell off when you picked up a slice. One of our party would not eat the pizza he ordered. The restaurant is nicely setup and I enjoyed that aspect of the visit.

We visited Bavaro’s when we came to Clearwater! The food was fantastic! I shared the Ravioli Al Formaggio and cheese garlic bread with my friend and it was amazing! It was huge portions so plenty of food for the both of u! ! We tried to get in on Thursday evening but with a party of 8 it was going to take an hour for them to seat us so we ended up going to a different restaurant. We made resv for the following evening. Would highly recommend!! It’s a smaller restaurant so it gets packed quick!!

I had a party of 8 including to children aged 10and 12 so we ordered a little bit of everything and shared as much as possible. The 2 biggest standouts in my opinion were the meatballs and the white pizza fungi (wished I had ordered more for the table). Overall a great experience, with a knowledgeable staff and very attentive management. Thank you...
