Pizzaiolo Bavaro is one of the Bay Area’s most authentic Italian restaurants. Imported tile and century old brick walls give this downtown Tampa eatery a distinctly Mediterranean feel, but it’s the hand-crafted Neapolitan brick oven specially imported from Italy that ensures Pizzaiolo Bavaro’s cuisine is as true to any as any you’d find in Naples itself.

Using organic ingredients either locally grown or imported from Italy, Pizzaiolo Bavaro prepares everything in-house, from the sumptuous Italian pasta dishes to its rustic breads that are baked daily in the wood-fired brick oven. The centerpiece oven is also the secret behind the sensational pizza Napoletana’s, which are cooked to perfection directly on the stone in a mere 90 seconds!

The lunch and dinner menus are packed with beautiful insalates, exquisite antipasti (the bruschetta served with wood-fired bread is a must) and heavenly desserts including a truly decadent wood-fired waffle served with your choice of gelato.

Stop by Pizzaiolo Bavaro and succumb to the old world charm while being treated to the very the finest Italian cuisine.
