This has been a family favorite since it opened in the 80s. I remember going as a young child, (back before I understood carbs and calories,) and gorging on their bread I can still remember getting in trouble for using six butters on 8 pieces one time! As an adult who no longer lives here, it is always an absolute treat to visit Bugatti. If I'm in Miami and don't go there, I'm upset. Although I don't consume very many carbs any longer, I must break whatever eating plan I'm on to enjoy at least one piece of bread and the spaghetti pomodoro. While all their food is fantastic, I prefer the basics because their food is that good! Their pomodoro sauce is simple yet oh so delicious, while their (homemade) pastas are such a culinary treat! Over the last 30 years of going, I have either ordered or tasted most of their dishes and specials. I have yet to be disappointed. Even their seemingly basic Bugatti salad is amazing! I highly recommend Bugatti to anyone looking for a delicious Italian meal in Miami. read more

Bugatti Bistro - Ravioli pomodoro and spaghetti Al cartoccio - Italian Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Went to Bugatti with the hubby and the restaurant has a classy feel. The food was good. We had a pasta with Salmon and Bugatti Pizza. The pizza was good but had so much toppings that each time you would bite into it everything would fall off. The pasta was good as well. The portions are pretty big we ate their and took some home. The service was 5 Star the guys there treated you good and they were friendly. I would go back but to try other plates. They are social distancing clients which is good and feels very clean. read more

Outstanding !!! A Coral Gables fixture. Get the spaghetti a cartoccio with tiramisu for dessert ...to die for! Impeccably attentive staff. A robust menu. Prices that seem to have ignored the inflationary period that we have just lived through.. Reliably consistent food and prompt, attentive service that is not in a rush to turn the table over. Affordably elegant without pretentiousness. read more

Visited Bugatti (Italian) Restaurant for lunch with a coworker of mine as their recommendation in Coral Gables and it was amazing. It's a very intimate restaurant and very professionally ran. The food is incredibly fresh and tasty. They provide bread at the beginning and include this toasty bread that's almost like a garlic bread (very toasty but awesome) and it is incredible. I literally could have consumed 12 pieces of that bread and called it a day. That's how delicious it was. Then the appetizer which was rock salt coconut shrimp well I almost cried it was so good. Definitely recommend. Then my main dish was a garlic white wine clam pasta it was ridiculously amazing. The way they cooked it was incredible which was in parchment paper to not dry the noodles, clams or the sauce and omg! Just wow! This is a strong recommendation if you're looking for an amazing Italian cuisine. Service was impeccable and I honestly commend the staff and those running this business. Quality of place and food is top notch. Excellent job! I can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu. read more

I chose Bugatti to celebrate my best friend's birthday. We made a reservation for 10 on Sunday, August 25th, at 5:30 PM. Bugatti has been a Coral Gables restaurant for years, what could go wrong? Well...a lot! First they placed our table for 10 near the kitchen. The restaurant has awful acoustics. It was impossible to hear each other speak. We were trying our best to hear just the people sitting next to us when this guy, Carlos, comes and tells us that we are being too loud and that people are complaining. Never mind that that we were struggling to hear each other in the first place, no....we had to basically stop talking. The food was good, but not good enough to put up with being harassed and not good enough to go back. We were celebrating a birthday and we ordered a lot of food and bottles of wine. Thank you Bugatti for ruining our experienced! None of us will ever visit your restaurant again. There is way too many other choices available for any of us to put up with your harassment ever again. read more

Walked in at a super slow time because we were like one of 3 groups there . It was a nice place though and there was one server who was great . We got our food pretty quickly . They serve bread first and we got the pesto pasta which was ok . Definitely ate it all though ! I ordered chicken with my pasta which was kind rubbery but I was so hungry that I finished that too. Not the best but not the worst ! read more

The service here is IMPECCABLE. I really enjoyed the Miami Spice menu here, even if it came out to be a little more than the standard price. I came with my mom and we enjoyed the hole-in-the-wall yet elegant vibe. As my first time, I'm definitely coming back. read more

We came here for lunch to catch up with a friend and I was worried because my kids are 7&5. The vibe was fancy but chill. Our server was very attentive and the food was so tasty. We shared the coconut shrimp, I had the Bianca salad and my kids ate the Bugatti pizza. If you go, save room for the Zabaione freddo! read more

This Italian restaurant has been serving consistently high quality Italian food during the 27 years I've visited it. As opposed to the tasteless and overcooked chewy pasta from the majority of "Italian" restaurants that serves as accompaniment to the excessive and generic tasting sauces covering it, Bugatti's pasta tastes good and is always cooked "al dente." Speaking of sauces, the ones I've tried at Bugatti have tasted delicately regional, from the ravioli al funghi's cream sauce to their ragu, passata and pesto. My wife loves their salads. Every single dish I've eaten here is very good and fresh. And for dessert, you must order the chocolate mousse; It's like no other mousse I've tried, and I don't really care for mousse. Service is efficient and professional, bordering on smug, but never going there. You can tell that the staff has been properly trained by their impressive knowledge of the restaurant's menu. The only reason this awesome place doesn't get the fifth star is because their delicious lasagna is not part of their regular menu. read more

The establishment itsef is in need of some updating, especially the bathrooms. The lighting is a very dim, not in a good way, and the acoustics don't seem to have been given much thought. Now that we got that out of the way,m... The food and service were outstanding and with such Miami-reasonable prices, this place truly stands out as an excellent authentic italian neighborhood spot. Clearly, I am not alone in this opinion; Bugatti was PACKED. I myself had heard about it from several people in the neighborhood. And finally, my first visit... certainly not the last. The caesar salad itself was simple, but fresh, and flavorful. One large sald was enough for four of us to share as an appetizer. The Spaghetti al Cartoccio and Risotto a la Milanese con Scampi were perfectly balanced dishes. read more

Super delicious salads & pastas. Great service & a definite old school feel. I started with the TONNO salad (Seared rare fillet of Ahi Tuna, mixed greens, avocado, mango, cilantro vinaigrette) very good and excellent flavours. My friend had the Carpaccio (Beef tenderloin, arugula, Parmesan, extra virgin olive oil). We then split a pasta dish. The Tagliatelle al Pesto (basil, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil, French green beans) was good but a bit too overpowering. I'll go with the pomodoro sauce next time. My friend had the Affogato al Caffè (Hot Espresso over Vanilla Gelato, whipped cream) for dessert & loved it. Will absolutely be back to try other dishes. read more

This place is so fantastic! The food is amazing and so consistently good. The service is always impeccable and the manager can always be seen moving about the restaurant making sure everyone is happy. Their pasta is amazing and the salad with thinly shaved chicken is my favorite. Defiantly my favorite restaurant in Miami for Italian food that is fresh and delicious. read more

I had high hopes for this place given that it has been around for so long in such a hard place to stay if you're not up to par. Out of both of us, my husband's lobster ravioli was very good but my scampi was very bland and just over all lack luster. But I have to say that the service was perfect. Very professional and attentive. read more

You must get the lasagna here! They only do it twice a month on Wednesdays, and it's well worth it! Not disgustingly filling like a regular Italian place would give you. They use a cheese sauce around it instead of the red sauce inside of it. The garlic bread at the beginning is wonderful, I also had the caprese App, was very fresh. Service was on point and It was very busy on a Wednesday. Prices were not bad at all for the Gables. Glass of Prosecco, lasagna, caprese, with tax = under $50! This is a must dine at place in Miami! read more

Bugatti Bistro - Pasta is homemade every day - Italian Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

I think I could have stayed sleeping in my old Bugatti*. Back when I was a young intern in the Gables, I'd always seen this spot, so I wanted to go when my friend M.L. had me pick an early birthday dinner spot. I pulled up in a Lexus (but that's for my Uber review http://www.yelp.com/biz/uber-san-francisco) ready to get my mangia on for my birthday. The spot itself looks clean and modern, and our hostess was casually friendly when we arrived. The vibe was real quiet , and the music was low enough for conversation. We ordered a sample of appetizers and main course. My prosciutto di Parma was actually very tasty. The prosciutto was just right on the saltiness and the cantaloupe balls were fresh and naturally sweet. As far as main course, I ordered the chicken scallopini saltimboca. The risotto in wine was rich and flavorful without being overly heavy, and who cannot like chicken and bacon. The reason why my friend and I both keep it at 3 stars is because most restaurants do something when a birthday is mentioned. Whether it's a chocolate drizzle on the cake, the cheesy but cute serenade..something. The crew at Bugatti said they don't do anything. In fact, if it had not been for my friend's insistence and various repeats I don't think I would have even gotten a candle on my *still delicious* creme brulee. * Music Quote Time: http://youtu.be/djE-BLrdDDc read more

I so love Bugatti! This Coral Gables classic has been around for quite a few years. The ambiance is casual but classy and not fussy at all. My favorite meal is the lasagna, sadly it's only offered once a week and not on the weekend. My husband and I were back a few Saturday's ago and I had some really good tagliatelle. The food is plentiful and save some room for dessert, you can't go wrong with the ricotta cheesecake or classic tiramisu. read more

Bugatti Bistro - Italian Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

After passing by Bugatti for the last two years, as I work very close by, I was finally lured in by a recent review I had read. I just couldn't wait for the next month to try out the lasagna that everyone is raving about so I decided to take Nicole last night, and wow were we impressed by the fancy pasta dishes that we had. Although the interior decorating could be spruced up and is rather Spartan, the service is nothing but five star. For an appetizer we selected the chickpea soup, which was delicious and perfect for our current cooler weather. For our main courses, Nicole selected the butternut squash ravioli and I had the linguini and clams over a white wine sauce with 3 added shrimp. My order was finished in cooking paper which was a little odd and could have been presented with out it. However, as my host explained, placing the cooked ingredients together in the paper enhanced the infusion of the flavors, and thus was presented as such. Nonetheless, the dish was outstanding---shrimp and clams alike were perfectly marinated with the rich garlic white wine sauce. The ravioli also had a distinctive butternut filling and smothered in a cream sauce that was out of this world. We can't wait to be back next month for another sitting when we try their lasagna. read more

Big time disappointment! Been going to this special restaurant for years... one of those places, always order the same entree, pasta bolognese, but the last 2 visits, just not the same sauce... don't ya just hate when a favorite is changed...shame... still will return, just need to find a new favorite.... read more

I have only been to Bugatti on one specific day of the week. That day, is Wednesday. And I have only been to Bugatti one specific time of the month, the beginning of the month. The reason being.. The first Wednesday of every month, they have "Lasagna night". This review is solely based on my Wednesday trips to Bugatti and do not reflect the rest of the menu. It seems odd, to only have a dish once a month and choose to do it the first Wednesday of the month... However, if they served this dish daily, the staff might be in the weeds on a constant basis. It is delicious. It comes with a cream sauce and a Bolognese meat sauce on the inside. It might seem small when it gets to your table, but it will fill you up and do the trick. It is not too expensive either, I usually get one at the table and then get one to go! The lasagna comes with a soup or salad. If they have their lentil soup... get it! Very good soup with a little kick to it. The complimentary bread is also very good. I am sure that Bugatti isn't a one trick pony and that it dishes up some great food on a regular basis, based on how good this lasagna is. One day, I will update this review after trying something else off of their menu. In the mean time, go on the first Wednesday of every month to eat a taste of this top 5 lasagna! read more

DO NOT go to this place, too expensive. Price doesn't match quality of food. They couldn't split the checks, because they handwrite them, which is already weird. They can't adjust the plates to your liking. The pasta carbonara isn't made with white sauce, it's red sauce with peppers and they couldn't take out the peppers. Waiters did not come back to our table to check if everything was good not even once. Worst pasta I've ever had, and I eat pasta twice a week. Never coming back. Would give this place ZERO stars if I could. Fakest "Italian" Restaurant in Miami! read more

Ummm I'll preface this by saying I love Italian. Both the food, the people, and the video game. Stopped by here for a quick bite to eat during the lunch hour. Wasn't too busy and was seated fairly quickly. The waiter was very attentive and on high alert. Shout out to the other waiter or the one person who made sure my glass was not empty. Not sure if she was saying I looked dehydrated from the night before or what. The reason this gets the lower review is because I ordered the Ravioli Pomodoro and was really excited about it. But it came out like room temperature and that set the whole tone for the dish. I barely ate it and was a bit disappointed. I plan to go back for dinner and potentially updating this review. This place has lots of potential! #italianjob read more

Great service and delicious food at a good price! My friends and I (a group of 5) ordered 2 appetizers, each one of us an entree, 2 desserts with 2 bottles of wine and each of us paid less than $60 (with tip). There's street parking, and a parking garage nearby. The garage was $4 and I was parked there for about 2 hours. Cheaper than parking on the street. read more

The food wasn't that good for the price. In the menu they have plates with both white and red sauce and so I asked if it could be possible for my plate to have pink sauce (mix of white with red) - I have dietary restrictions and this mix helps- and they couldn't accommodate to me. Although the outside looks new and modern the inside is very old looking ambiance. Definitely for an older crowd. Overall 4/10 Would I go again? No read more

Came for lasagna! Service 4.5/5 Always wear a smile a face and willing to explain the speciality of the menu! Nice job! They only thing make me a little bit uncomfortable is when I enjoyed my dessert, they directly gave me the receipt and let me check.

The tomato dressing inside are very heavy for me and this sauce make the white sauce around flavorless. Some layer of the lasagna( mainly the edge) is out of water, dray and like froze too long in the refrigerator. Disappointed. Dessert: Apple Tart 3.5/5 The Apple is too soft and not my cup of tea. The pie under is good, the most attractive is the side vanilla ice cream and the cracker under! The best Vanilla ice cream I've ever had. The cracker under same! My overall rate is 3.5 read more

There is a reason why this restaurant has been around longer than I have been alive. it has survived the many boom bust cycles of the American economy over the last 30 years, as well as different restaurants and shops going in and out of business in the Coral Gables area. My girlfriend is not one to normally enjoy Italian since it's one of those things she can cook at home really well, but we decided to give to God you try after an evening at Merrick Park. Upon entering, you'll notice that it's a little quaint restaurant space, so get comfortable! It is, however, intimate, and the service is great. Our cups of water were never left empty, and we were offered more bread, even when we were about to receive our main courses! My girlfriend had the Taglioni al Carbornara, and I had the Ravioli Bombay. WOW! Never tasted anything like the Ravioli Bombay at an Italian restaurant. For dessert, we had a classic tiramisu, and left the restaurant with our bellies full and taste buds pleased. Whenever we are in the Gables area, Bugatti will remain a contender for our appetites. Compared to other Italian restaurants in Miami, I thought the prices were more than fair. read more

I first came to this restaurant on the year 2000 and became a regular for about ten years with it being one of my favorite places to eat pasta; however, Miami's culinary scene has grown so much and there are so many options that I slowly forgot it! Fast forward ten years and I visit now on 2020 and I was completely blown away to find that nothing has changed, from their water ( yes their water is infused with lemon and tastes different) to their bread and their main dishes, they have maintained the same quality and taste that made me a regular diner so many years ago! This is not a trendy place, it's rather a cozy hidden gem in the middle of all the popular places in Coral Gables! It's not somewhere you come for the social scene or ambiance, but it's where you come for authentic, delicious Italian food and always outstanding service! read more

Have been enjoying Bugatti for almost 30 years! Still love the food and service. Great menu.

This great gem, hidden in downtown coral gables has the best Italian food in town. They are known for their lasagnas on Wednesday, but only the first and second Wednesday of every month. Today I walked out of those doors EXTREMELY disappointed by their service. Walked in 50 minutes before closure and was not allowed to dine because the gentleman greeting said it was a quiet night and they were closing soon. Needless to say I will find it very hard to recommend anyone to come to this place from this point forward. I am dissatisfied with the treatment I received today and the lack of good customer service. Its a true shame, because I am a regular customer that they've just lost. read more

Nice dinner (4 stars) We came back after many years. Ordered a bottle of Conanau, but it was a little too acidic, and asked to change for a Malbec. The Malbec was a much smoother tasting wine. The bread was nice and crispy, with a flavor of olive oil and sea salt. We got salads and caprese. The cheese was so rich and delicious. It needed some salt, pepper and olive oil. For entrees we got ravioli, gnocchi, and mushroom risotto. The risotto was nice and creamy, and a little parmesan cheese made it taste richer. The spinach gnocchi was good too. It shows my last visit was 2012, and I hope I can come back sooner. read more

This is a nice little place in Coral Gables. I was very pleasantly surprised, especially because despite the fact that I walk around this area often, I had never noticed this place before. Nice decor, no frills and you get exactly what you expect. A decent meal with good attentive service. The prices are not exactly reasonable but not expensive either - just what you would expect for a small Italian place in the heart of Coral Gables. If you happen to come here, I am sure you won't be disappointed but it doesn't have enough value added to me to forgo other places in the Gables in lieu of coming here - They are doing a really good job at serving good Italian food with good service - so Kudos Bugatti ! read more

Local friends took me to Bugatti and I was very impressed with the menuu and service.
