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!
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!!
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.
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.
Margherita with extra sauce and basil is as good as it gets, made by an Italian pizzamaker, using San Marzano tomatoes and cabuto 00 flour in a classic wood-burning pizza oven ! I get my fix whenever I visit Miami !
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!
Our best meal in Miami so far! The food and service were impeccable. Ambiance was authentically Italian as well. I highly recommend the sausage mushroom pappardelle and the casara pizza! Both were amazing dishes!
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.
The food is amazing, especially if you come on pasta Tuesday we're all pasta is on special. I had the lasagna which was to die for, and many items can be ordered gluten-free for those who have you have a gluten allergy. Atmosphere was so excellent and service second to none highly recommend. I had the lasagna and my friend had a gluten-free margaritas pizza and of course your wine of choice and bottled water with an amazing Greek salad. Dylan waiting on us and he was authentic and professional.
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.
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!!!
Amazing wood fire pizza! So so happy we chose this place for dinner, the staff was nice, it smelled great and the food was to die for! If you're looking for a delicious pizza dinner in Miami Beach, please check this place out!
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. We were greeted and sat down instantly. Our waitress was super sweet we and very hospitable. The pizza was about the size of a personal pie but definitely able to be shared between two people. I would come here again
Fratelli La Bufala sits right on the corner of Washington Ave in South Beach. The menu offers classic Italian dishes with specialty items offered. Good portions. Beautiful spot for aperitivo with a sunset view. The servers were gentilissimi! I'll be back for pizza napoletana next time. Be sure to check in for a complimentary glass of champagne! Indoor & outdoor seating available GF spaghetti available upon request! Vegetarian friendly options 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

The pizza served here comes out of a wood burning oven and it's done just right. Pizza was full of flavor and just big enough for two people to share. One thing we found unique is that the pizza was cut into five slices. Never seen that before. lol This restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was very accommodating and we had a great overall dinner experience. read more

Whew!!!! Definitely leaving STUFFED like a thanksgiving Turkey. I can't rave enough about the food, the service, the location, and the wine! If you're in Miami and craving authentic Italian food, this is the place to go. Definitely had me pulling out my rusty Italian . Mi dispiace nonna, cosa vuol dire 'I'm rusty' In Italian bc that's me Waiter reco: Simone. First off, the man is handsome as hell. Second, he's a great waiter! Always attentive. Personally I'm not a fan of waiters that take too long or ask too much so I'm always happy to find one that is able to read body language lol! Anyway. You're missing out if you don't come here. read more

Beautiful outdoor restaurant with amazing food. We had buratta with prosciutto, and their pizzas. To die for. read more
Valentine's Day weekend... mom and pop restaurant with over 259 reservations... and they still managed to provide amazing service. Places like Fratelli remind me awesome service and authentic food in the same building exist. We ordered a pizza as our appetizer (don't judge) and it was very tasty. It is made fresh by a guy...its baked in a brick oven I believe and it taste amazing. My boyfriend ordered the tagliatelle all's Bolognese and i ordered fettuccine Alfredo with salmon. You can tell the pasta is made fresh. It was cooked perfectly to al dente. We also wanted to try one of the desserts. We ordered the Nutella crepe. They can definitely work on their presentation but it was a crepe and Nutella so it's a winner in my book. Our server Antonio is the best. He has a party of 10 plus 3 other tables and never once made us feel rushed or neglected. This spot is a must try. read more
Nice ambiance. Friendly, welcoming staff. The food was good a bit pricey but decent portions. Checking in to Yelp got me a complimentary glass of Prosecco. Dinner time was a bit busy but it didn't take long for my food. They offer outdoor dining as well. My only complaint is the chef that's outside of the kitchen (in the dining area) rings a bell often when the food needs to go to the table. It's a bit distracting & loud. They have a salmon pizza I wouldn't mind going back & ordering it to go. Overall pretty good experience. read more

I've been living in Miami for 20 years and I've always been curious about this restaurant; however, I always forgot about it and just went somewhere else. Well it was the case in this situation, I was supposed to go to another place a couple of blocks from there with a friend but we weren't happy with the menu at the other place so decided to walk around and pick another restaurant. Funny, we both said This restaurant has been here forever and we have never tried it! So we finally decided to go in! The restaurant was practically empty, it was a Tuesday night. So we wanted some wine to start and to our luck, it was Tuesday Wine Night and all bottles were 50% off! That was amazing! So we ordered a bottle and it came out like $22-24. As a starter, we shared a house salad and for pizza, we tried the Capricciosa one and it was good. Topping quantities were great although the dough was a little soggy. For dessert, we ordered the Panna Cotta but it wasn't good. It was so cold, just taken out from the fridge, didn't feel fresh. Plus Panna Cotta is supposed to be soft, not hard. The restaurant itself is a little old but it feels very Italian. Service was good too. read more

This place came highly recommended from my Uber driver who was of Italian descent. We came here for a birthday and had a spread. It did not disappoint. Everything from the calamari to the pasta to pizza was amazing. Each dish was excellent. They even stopped the music to play a birthday singalong song for my friend. This place is the real deal. The service is great. read more
Pizza Craving Fixed ! :) ... me and my girl was super hungry during lunch hours and decided to try the nearest Brick Oven pizza we could find. This Napoleon restaurant popped up on google, so we decided to go here. When we walked through the front door my girl was wearing shorts and a bra-style top. We were told they had dress code, so we decided to be seated outside instead of leaving. It was super hot that day but we were so hungry we didn't mind. We both Ordered Gourmet Pizza. I had the **Diavola pizza.. it was Delicious!! you can really tell this was authentic Italian pizza from the sauce, cheese, spicy salami and the way the dough taste. The only *downside was the Sauce made underneath the pizza Soggy. It would've been perfect if the bottom of the pizza was just as crispy as the crust. My girl Ordered the **Margarita Pizza, she said it was one of the best she's ever had. She literally talked about ordering that Pizza again the next day lol **the Reason for the 3 stars was purely based on my pizza being a bit too soggy at the bottom and *secondly the vibe and energy from the waiters. Our waiter kept staring at us in a weird way. Never smiling just staring, it made Us really uncomfortable eating Outside. Their was literally only one other couple 4 tables behind us. I asked one waitress for water and she never returned. When we finished paying for food, we stood up an the girl started staring hard while talking to the other waiter. That whole experience was just weird. Overall, food was good. if you're craving authentic Italian pizza, you probably won't regret it here, just be prepared if you decide to Dine in. read more

What a fantastic restaurant! Our server was very attentive and recommended a perfect wine to go with our meal. The beef carpaccio and eggplant Parmesan were excellent appetizers. For our main course, we shared a pizza with ricotta stuffed crust- our server's excellent suggestion. We would definitely come back and we recommend highly! read more

My family came here for dinner on a Saturday night and we had a reservation but it wasn't needed. We were seated quickly adjacent to a patio heat tower which was great because it was especially breezy. We started the meal off with burrata with prosciutto di Parma. The combo of the creamy burrata with the salty prosciutto was excellent. The meal went down hill from here. We then decided to share a Margherita pizza and the pasta carbonara because it listed guanciale (pork cheek) rather than bacon or pancetta. The pizza was good but the crust was a little too thin where the cheese just fell off of it. The pasta was incredibly salty and was definitely bacon not guanciale which was disappointing. read more

5 stars for the pizza, it was the best. Our waitress was really nice, it was the best pizza I've ever had to date and I'm sad I didn't get to finish it all. Would definitely go back. We had the meatball appetizer which was also very good. read more

SO SO SO GOOD!!! My friends and I stopped here on our way to the beach and just needed something quick but we got way more than we expected. The pizza melted in my mouth it was so good! It was so fresh and perfectly made. We ordered two pies for 3 people and it was more than enough, we left with some left overs. I would definitely come back when I'm visiting Miami! read more
I actually wanted to give a 3 and a half star, but there's not that option, so a 3 it is. I just didn't feel that the price reflected the quality and portion of the food. My husband and I had a good experience and the staff were kind, but they don't come to check on you. We were done eating and thought it was obvious as staff walked by, but I guess you will have to let them know to bring you your check; otherwise, you will sit there all day. read more

First, I love saying the name, "La Bufala!" Say that a few times and try not to smile! We have had lunch and the lovely lady serving our table was kind and attentive throughout the meal. We shared the Quattro Stagioni Pizza, which was savory and excellent, with a perfect and slightly charred crust (in the best way), bringing lots of flavor. The ingredients were fresh and very tasty. We also shared the Parmigiana Di Melanzane (eggplant parmigiana) which was ooey gooey cheesy saucy awesomeness. A great meal and kind people. I highly recommend. read more
Small and cozy italian place, with a very good quality of pizza! The waitress was also very friendly and attentive. I ordered pizza "parma" with prosciutto and a glass of wine. It was very good experience, and definitely it's one of the best pizza places in Miami Beach! read more

Amazing food, okay service. We ordered Focaccia as an appetizer. It had a good flavor, but it was overcooked and had a lot of char on it. I ordered the gnocchi for my meal, and it was amazing! The service could be improved as we had to wait forever for our check. Besides that, this place is great! read more

Thank you for such a detailed review! We're delighted to hear you…
TLDR: great little surprise in South Beach! ____ I dropped in here after an Art Basel event. $10 pastas on Tuesdays - I had no idea and was pleasantly surprised. Glasses of wine - $8.50 Carpaccio was $16 and honestly not my fav. The pasta is where it's at! We took advantage of the $10 pasta deal and got two! Lasagana - so delicious and creamy. The ricotta. The meat. It was all blended together harmoniously and made for such a delicious creamy consistency. Carbonara - the bucatini cooked perfect. Sauce delicious and pops of flavor from the pancetta! Great service. Which is rare for the beach, in my opinion. I'd Deff drop back in here for a bite on the beach! read more

Do they have gluten free pizza?
I don't recall seeing it on the menu, but if you call they would surely tell you. They were all very nice when I went there.
