- PPaulGreater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe service was outstanding, and remarkable, due to the specifics of this particular night. Our group was at Bavaro's in Sarasota during a busy holiday week, and on a night when the restaurant was a little understaffed, yet filled to capacity with patrons. Even the food met the standard that we have come to expect from Bavaro's. I tip my hat to you Bavaro's.More infoBavaro's Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria-SarasotaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Sarasota•4.7
