This was my first meal in Miami right after I got off the flight, so I was pretty hungry and wanted to order everything. My friend and I shared the Greek salad to start. It was not great, there were too many mushrooms and not enough other vegetables, and not enough dressing so it was dry. Thankfully, things turned around when the pizza and pasta came out. We shared the bolognese and the diavolo pizza. Both were huge portions and were both really delicious. We ended up not finishing the pizza but I had some leftover later and it was still really good cold. read more

Came to this restaurant for my friend's birthday and we had a great time. Appetizers included focaccia and meatballs, we had several pizzas like Parma and Napoli and for dessert we chose the profiteroles. I loved that they add the chocolate at the time of serving. The server was good, she knew my friend, so he was on top on everything, but I've heard from others that serves are usually great. The place feels cozy; it looks like a family business with a traditional brick oven. There are tables outside but since the restaurant is located on a big street, I would say seating inside is better. Parking can be tricky depending on day and time but if you don't mind walking you can find a spot on in the area. Approved by Italian friends so would love to go back for more pizza! read more

Always our first night dinner choice on our family Miami trips! We went last night (probably our 5th time total) and everything was great as always. Server was super sweet and gave us a good wine bottle recommendation. Interior is always such a cute feeling to walk into. Food was delicious as always- this time got: Greek salad, carbonara pizza, margherita pizza , calzone, tagliatelle a bolognese , and omg a delicious tiramisu!! Will be back for our next Miami trip for sure!! read more

Beach, sun, and then... carbs. Fratelli La Bufala is a comfy Italian stop just steps from South Beach--perfect for curing that "post-beach hunger." Bruschette - fresh tomatoes doing their juicy thing. Pink Pasta - creamy, tasty, and hits the spot. Margherita Pizza - simple, classic trio of tomato, mozzarella & basil. Service was a bit on beach time (pretty slow, especially with only 2-3 tables filled at lunch), but the relaxed vibe and decent ambience balanced it out. Overall, a solid spot for good Italian food without going overboard. read more

Nice spot just walking distance from where we were staying near south beach. Nice outdoor seating to enjoy a nice authentic dinner. The most authentic Neapolitan style pizza I've had since being in Italy. You must try the Casara pizza and the seafood linguine. Our server was from Italy and talking to us in Italian. The burrata prosciutto and arugula was a perfect combination and the dough was perfectly cooked. I wish we could have gone back before left. read more

This place never disappoints. One of my favorite dishes is the parpadelle porcini with Italian sausage. Usually, at other places, this dish is served without protein so the fact that this one has sausage elevates the flavor profile. The Italian sausage is not overbearing in flavor or in fat content- overall a well balanced dish. There are so many delicious items on the menu so I prefer family style. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. You truly feel like you're going to your local family restaurant where everyone knows each other. I'm glad to see this place still thriving over the years. Genuine people making authentic food! read more

We make it a point to eat at Fratelli La Bufala every time we visit Miami Beach. We have been fans of the brand for a long time (since they had a New York City location over a decade ago) because of how authentic the food is: I'm Italian and I always look for restaurants I can trust to consistently deliver a meal that tastes like home. This time I had the spaghetti alle vongole (clams): it is close to impossible to find good spaghetti alle vongole in the US, so I usually just make them myself at home, but I trusted this Neapolitan team to deliver -- and they did! The spaghetti were perfect, exactly like being in Italy. On top of that, we really enjoyed the service: Josefina was attentive and sweet, always on top of things. We will be back soon enough. read more

The reale is a solid pizza. The flavors were good and the service was excellent. The pizza flavor was very good. The dough was a little soft. It didn't stand up to the sauce as well as some of my favorite places. If you are looking for a genuine pizza, this place should be on your list. read more

I'm surprised this place doesn't have more stars if one was only looking at starts and not the whole written reviews. I'm a local and every time I come here, it's with a real Italian person from Italy. They love the food and I do too. Wine list was great as well. It's not just for the out of towners but locals love it too. read more

Ordered via UBER eats. We had a Margherita pizza, Caesar salad and pappardelle porcini pasta. The pasta was the only thing edible. The pizza wasn't cut well, soggy and several slices stuck to the lining paper at bottom of the box. The most concerning was the Caesar salad w/chicken. The dressing was almost entirely all mayonnaise. Really, I'm not joking...it was not Caesar dressing. And the chicken was thin, overcooked and dry. I want my money back or offer a free redo and prove my review wrong!!! read more

After not knowing what to have for lunch we decided to stop here. It was very cute! When you walked in you instantly smelled the pizza which is always a delight.

The best pasta I've had in a long time. Definitely homemade. We had the seafood pasta, and it was more seafood than pasta. Also had the spice pepperoni pizza, delicious. The service was fast and friendly, except from an older Spanish short chubby lady who rushed to put the plate of food on the table with little space available. The male server was very nice , and the lady from Argentina was friendly. Overall, great experience and I would return. read more

I wanted to change it up since I was having lots of Cuban food while I was in Miami. I ordered the PAPPARDELLE PORCINI E SALSICCIA with truffle. I wouldn't recommend spending the extra truffle because it didn't make much of a difference to my dish. It has a small hint of it. The meal was great over all. I with it came with a bigger portion because it was delicious. I finished my meal with a tiramisu because I make it a habit to try a tiramisu to every Italian restaurant I go to. What stopped me from making a 5 star review was the servers. They hardly gave me attention or check up on me unless I flagged them down. What really set me off was when I was making my way to the main door to exit, the server with tatted sleeves stood at the door way for approx 8 sec which stop me from exiting. I know he saw but of course he finished his conversation from the door way to the females. This was my only downfall. Other than that the food was great! I still would return and recommend this place read more

I had the traditional Margherita as well as the Reale pizza. Because I ordered for take out (yes takeout!) I got to buzz around and watch my pizzas being made. See videos. While I waited I took a peek at the customer's plates who were seated and boy oh boy did their pastas look delish! My pizzas were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of charring on the edges and not on the bottom. Praise the Pizza gods! Notes on toppings: I got only a few pieces of basil on my Margherita, I wish there was more. Maybe I could have asked for more had I been a dine in customer. My Reale was amazing although I did witness a scant amount of Parmesan that decorated my pizza. They could have put more on it. However despite the above, my pizza was perfect, (remember I said it was take out) even after the gruelling 10minute wait until I got to the beach settled down and finally got my first bite. If the pizza tasted that good 10min later can you imagine if I dined in and ate it right away! Oh and pizza was ready in minutes, no long waiting like other restaurants. And the staff were quick! I will definitely return for a dine in experience! read more

I had a great opportunity to tour South Beach, and this restaurant was my first stop. The food was well prepared and generous in size. I was surprised to get a personal margarita pizza that large. It was excellent! I even scored a free glass of Prosecco and I checked in! The restaurant is a great establishment on the corner before you get to the beach, offering indoor and outdoor seating. The view of the sunny city is perfect and the location is in great proximity to the hop on /hop off big bus. Service was pleasant and swift, attentive, and refilled water immediately. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Bottom line: More of a 4.5 star experience here at Fratelli La Bufala for dinner. The Burrata and Ossobuco both were delicious. Service was good and helpful. Nice classic Italian type of feeling inside, enjoyable. The Deets: After getting drinks at Minibar, we decided to walk over to Fratelli La Bufala to grab dinner one Saturday night in South Beach. This Italian restaurant is one that Chris M. had mentioned he had been wanting to try so off we went. We were seated quickly, choosing to take an inside table instead of the many vacant outside tables available. This place was decently crowded so I was looking forward to a good experience. The inside gives a cozy classic Italian type of feeling, part restaurant/bistro/pizzeria type of look. Our server did well getting our drink orders and make sure about any questions we had. Note: There was a free glass of prosecco Yelp check in offer at the time of this visit, one I did take advantage of this visit! We enjoyed some burrata pre-meal and it was great, loved it. The menu here has a good variety of offerings including classic and gourmet pizzas, calzone, insalate, antipasti, pasta, entrees, desserts, etc. Having enjoyed some carbonara the night before at Eating House, I decided to go with the Ossobuco (menu describes as "braised veal shank with rich red wine stock and onion served w/truffle potato purée") that sounded so good. Chris M. decided to go with the Carbonara here. As you can see from the pic I nabbed before we started eating, these selections looked great when delivered to our table and we agreed that the food was delicious. I enjoyed the Ossobuco as a tasty non-pasta choice, it was tender and had wonderful flavor. Price is what you would expect for a good meal in the South Beach area, without being too out of the park, the price is comparable to the quality. I'm glad we stopped into Fratelli La Bufala for dinner, I'd say a 4.5 star visit. If I get the chance to come back in the future, I would definitely explore more on their menu as they have so much to choose from here. read more

The pasta was very good, we ordered minestrone soup and sent it back after 2 sips because it was so bland, they gave us the entire check including the soup because "Italians are very strict" so our check was basically 60 bucks for one plate of pasta. I find it very weird. read more

The pizza crust is excellent, but the toppings are cheap out of the can and very little. Dirty place, I saw roaches crawling on the walls. Inflated prices even for Miami Beach. The staff is a joke: hands in pockets, looking at their cellphones, not attentive, and rude and unwelcoming. I cannot find any redeeming feature for this sorry establishment other thank the pizza crust. Absolutely not worth wasting your time. read more

Incredible pizza, excellent service, and a great location! The pizza was so good, so crispy, and so fresh! We ordered a margherita pizza and mortazza pizza. We did not realize that the mortazza pizza had pork on it, and we're not able to eat pork, so we had to kindly ask if they could remake it without pork. The man making the pizzas was so kind and understanding and he remade the pizza without hesitation and added some more vegetables to spice it up. We were so appreciative! Both pizzas were delicious, flavorful, and fresh. Overall great place and I can't wait to come back! read more

We sat outside at this cute corner restaurant because it was quite packed and it seemed like a good option. The staff was all Italian (from Rome and Napoli) I actually liked that, considering you can see these restaurants all over Italy. To start we had a burrata (not pictured here). The flavor was great and it arrived with prosciutto and some fresh bread. Next our pizzas arrived. They do them in very Neapolitan style with the Neapolitan oven and everything. However in my opinion they were lacking a bit of flavor. The cheese was too bland and the dough too. But everything was fresh, so at least I give them that! Now to the star of the night: the pasta. This pasta was cooked to perfection!! The sauce was delicious, it had the right amount of seafood so you could get something with every bite. And the fact that the server comes with an actual round of parmesano was great! I would probably come back for the pasta. read more

If you want great food in south beach without experiencing the frequent and dreaded tourists traps, this is the place for you. The service is great. They're always playing soccer on the TV's inside. The prices are super reasonable ($12-$17 for a pasta dish with big portions). The food is just amazing every single time. I highly recommend the bruschetta. I hate olives typically but even though they come in the bruschetta I still think it's one of the best things I've ever ingested. The gnocchi and spaghetti bolognese are to die for. read more

We stopped here before going to the beach for breakfast. The nights before, this place was full, so we figured they would be a good place to grab a bite to eat. When we first stepped in, the place was empty. Someone eventually came to seat us. I am glad we decided to stay and wait for someone to greet us. It was pretty cool having the place to ourselves too. Pros: -Delicious food. The smoked salmon was a hit on both items -Clean restrooms -Clean restaurant -Server was nice -The fresh bread smelled so good baking in the oven. -Cute setup ***The potatoes were the BEST I have ever had, and that says a lot coming from me.

Great night celebrating a birthday party at this traditional neopolitan pizza restrurant. Service is great and most servers speak intalian. We had a mix of all their appetizers. The eggplant Parmesan was hands down the winner followed by the bruschetta. The vitello tonnato is not what I am used to eating in Italy. We also got an assortment of pizzas. They were great I just feel like the pizza dough needed a tad bit of salt. The birthday desert and the cannoli were delicious. Nice informal ambiance is perfect for a family gathering. read more

This is currently the oldest and first Neapolitan pizzeria in Miami! It's my favorite style of pizza, so I don't know why it took me so long to come in. I tried the caprese because a classic is a good way to tell if it's truly good. The fresh mozzarella, the sauce, and the crust were fantastic. The service would be a tad faster, but I'd go back in a heartbeat. read more
