Always good to stumble on a winner. No, it's not a Michelin Star restaurant, but the service and the food earns my 5th star! Stefano, the owner and "chief marketing" officer, as he calls himself , was so friendly and accommodating to our rather large party of 15. La Bufala is a tiny restaurant in the central market area of Livorno. The Pasta Carbonara was really good. Prepared the proper way without the use of heavy creams, blocks of butter, and definitely without the stupid peas that so many places in the U.S. serves it up with. The seafood in the Spaghetti Mare was fresh and the pasta was overall delicious. The Pizza? Ohh the pizza was awesome, but what do you expect when the owner himself is from Naples. We ended up ordering a few more plates of Carbonara and a couple more Pizzas. Yes, this place is in a tourist area, but Stefano's place, is definitely not cooking up tourist food. La Bufala serves up some of the best food not only in Livorno, but Florence as well.

To start the food was alright the pizza was very thin and had a lot of cheese. The service was fine it was fast and efficient but still took 20 minutes. They sat us outside and the tablecloths were worn and dirty. read more

Authentic, delicious & simple food. I visited La Bufala while on a holiday with a friend- being thousands of miles away from home I felt I was with family when we were served. Their menu is simple, classic Italian dishes that were fresh & delicious. The restaurant is set in a large walkway in the city of Livorno, it was the perfect choice to spend our time in Italy for so many reasons. I could not be happier to have come across such a special place! read more

This is the ONLY Mozzarella bar of Livorno. The owner is a real Neapolitan verace. Lots of great courses of the traditional Neapolitan cuisine. I suggest anyone to try, of course, not only the mozzarella, but anything that comes around this wonderful product of the Neapolitan area. Try "salsiccia and friarelli" tri their wonderful pasta or the bresaola of bufala .. anything you try is just wonderful .. read more

We had tomato and shrimp on crostini, it was so perfectly flavored the tomato and shrimp were the star! The salmon with crostini was another star! We also had Spaghetti with Clams and Spaghetti with a seafood tomato with cream sauce. Both were decadent!! The name translates to Sea Tavern and it delivers, feels like you are in a tall ship stateroom for your meal. Several tables with their own intimate areas. The service was great, while we speak minimal Italian, we got by and had a great experience Highly recommend

The dish that we all were surprised by and raved about was the Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino. It was perfection! Simple. Flavorful. A dish I have craved many times when thinking about this trip... 7 months later. In addition to the amazing food, I would be remiss to not include the amazing family behind Caffe Duomo. They are kind, welcoming, and truly enjoyed providing their amazing dishes with others. We even got one of them to enjoy a shot of Limoncello with us at the end! Ha! If you are ever in this area, PLEASE stop here and enjoy the experience, the food, and the people. Ciao!
