Bavaro's Pizza Napoletana and Pastaria

Anthony was the best! We had such a good time! Couldn't have had better service. Food was also amazing

Cute Restaurant! Great food - the Cæsar Salad could have withstood a bit less Dressing. The Pizza was great - the young Pizza Man was great - he running on all cylinders. Stopped by to thank him & he apologized for delay - I said: What Delay??? We were taking our time dining & enjoying watching him work.One thing though - we say outside to enjoy the weather - but that singer at your neighboring restaurant was obnoxiously loud and AWFUL... they should put him & his blasting screams inside their own restaurant!!

The restaurant is a cozy little spot with charming decor, making for a pleasant atmosphere. We had a reservation, though they were running a bit behind. The hostess was very clear with where we stood and was very apologetic. It wasn't a big deal, but note that they don't allow you to wait inside, and it was a little chilly outside--something to keep in mind. Once seated, the food proved to be worth the wait. We started with the garlic bread with cheese, which was essentially a plain pizza--simple but tasty. I also had the tomato soup, which was flavorful and enjoyable. For the main course, we tried the Americano and Margherita pizzas. The dough was incredibly light and fluffy, and the pizzas were well-prepared. While the Margherita could have used another 30 seconds in the oven as the center was a bit soft, it was still very good. We also had the Ravioli al Formaggio, which was another highlight. The pasta was delicious, generously stuffed with cheese, and paired wonderfully with the vodka sauce. Unfortunately, the service didn't live up to the food. After taking our order, our server was nowhere to be found. We had initially opted for water but wanted to order additional beverages, which we couldn't do since he had disappeared. He briefly passed by after our food arrived but was preoccupied with taking takeout orders for the staff, then vanished into the back of house probably to place an order. When we wanted to order dessert, the server remained unavailable. At one point, he seemed to have a minor argument with the expeditor over an affogato for another table, which had ironically been delivered already while he was in the back. After waiting too long, we decided to skip dessert altogether. Overall, the food was outstanding and made the visit worthwhile, but the service left much to be desired. Hopefully, it was just an off night, as the kitchen's work is exceptional.

I will say Coming from the Boston are Italian is hard to beat. I do wish we would have taken photos. The food was decent but not 4 stars .The penne vodka tasted similar to tomato soup. It did have a nice after bjte. The pizza was chard but still doughy...the dough would have been thin and crispy if cooked right. The sauce and toppings flopped and fell apart when picking up. I was disappointed because on their Tik tok the food looks insane. The positive side: the Caesar salad was delicious. The wine pours were large and they had a lot of options. Unfortunately they don't sell hard alcohol so if you're looking for espresso or dirty martinis before your Italian meal this isn't the place for you. It was also very pricy in compared to surrounding restaurants. Ambiance was nice minus being so close to other patrons. Over all decent experience but probably not a place we'll visit again when we come back. Seems like a tourist trap.

Incredible quality. Homemade pasta and incredible pizza. Oven from Italy. Service was also very good and friendly. Definitely recommend this spot for great Italian cuisine!

The spaghetti and meatballs were better than my Mothers! I'm going again tonight for ravioli. The service provided by Ervis was excellent.

My wife and I stumbled upon this place and thought we had to try it! Great ambience and from the smell filling the air, you could tell they knew how to make pizza right! But don't stop reading, this is more than just a local pizza spot.We have amazing Italian food in the north end of Boston regularly, so we have a high taste for good Italian. This was right up there with it! I rarely post reviews, but this place deserved five stars! The service was top-notch and the recommendations of the waitress were spot on! We went with the spaghetti and meatballs, and the limoncello pizza and would highly recommend them both!They had a pizza, called the Americano that looked amazing as well, with pepperoni and fresh blobs of ricotta. Will get that next time!

Seated right away! Ralph was our waiter. We was knowledgeable and precise. We ordered garlic bread to start and meatballs. All delicious. Meatballs were alittle cold but he brought us three more. What I would expect from a good restaurant.If your expecting the run of the mill American pizza, its not here! It is true Italy pizza. Chopped salad very big and delicious. Ordered Margherita pizza. Was the best! Chewy and charred just like Italy. Cappuccino was really good!!! DefinitelyWill be going back!

Anthony was amazing.Great service, friendly, and goes the extra mile. .................. pay the man!

Ordered 2 pies for take out , underwhelmed. Minimal toppings for $20 bucks each. Not the same as when we have eaten there. Maybe just a bad night, but will not order takeout again from here. As my significant other said, westshore is better, and that is not a compliment.
