I was walking South Beach all day as my hunger caught up with me. As much as I wanted a view on Ocean Drive, I chose to avoid the crowds and the lines. I was drawn to Fratelli la Bufala because of the Bufala in the name but I had no idea whether this place was any good. As I stepped through the entrance door, the restaurant was almost empty except for a few people huddled around a television watching sports on an Italian channel. I ordered the Bufala salad and a margherita pizza. My expectations were low but I was pleasantly surprised. The salad was incredibly fresh and prepared to perfection. Honestly, I could have waived the pizza and had a few more of these great salads. The pizza was also very good (even by my NYC standards). This restaurant knows how to do crust and char the bottom just right. I was impressed. The next day, I did it all over again but with a salmon salad and another margherita. Loved it. Yes, I'll be back when I'm South Beach. read more

I've been eyeing this place for 3 days... and I'm kinda disappointed .... My brother in laws favorite dessert is TIRAMISU, and unfortunately, it was sour when we received it. After one bite, he literally was about to vomit. The KEY LIME pies were not KEY LIME at all. It seriously wasn't KEY LIME it tasted like lemon meringue but, I can't even say they made a mistake because itss not on their menu.‍‍‍ And of course the store was closed by the time we received our order.... The CANNOLI was ok, wasn't what I was expecting but it wasn't bad at all... read more

This was one of my favorite SoBe restaurants. When I saw they were available on Uber eats I was too elated. Well, when my order arrived I received a charred pizza that tasted burnt throughout and then I got pasta with no napkins or utensils. This was particularly problematic because I order the food from my hotel room. Unfortunately for me my hotel doesn't have utensils so what to do? Dang it Fratelli, why'd you have to do me like this? I'm so bummed. :-( read more

Real Italian food!!! They use imported italian ingredients. My husband is Celiac and had a pizza, nothing happened!!! He cannot even eat anything that was cooked anywhere near flour, and he ate a Pizza!!! I lived in Italy for 5 years and I can attest that this restaurant is truly authentic. The servers are italian which just adds to the ambiance. Definitely recommend!!! read more

We had a great time here for dinner. We really appreciated the service, we tried pizza Parma and the pizza was divinely delicious. Pasta and cocktails were also on top! We will definitely come again and recommend visiting this restaurant! read more

It's not like this place needs more rave reviews but I'll add mine. We had their pizza and it was divine! It was walking distance from our hotel and it was raining so we didn't want to go far. Now that I've had their pizza I would drive hours for it again. Perfectly charred crust. The fresh mozzarella was incredible. The couple next to us were from Italy and they agreed. read more

The pizza here is delicious!! Ordered takeout to take to the beach and they were so quick with my order!! Order the Parma pizza you wont be disappointed. Will be back!! read more

Fratelli La Bufala - Parma pizza - Pizza Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

We were dining in tonight with my boyfriend. It was very disappointing experience. We were getting today : - burrata appitizer (3 out 5) it was over 23$ for a piece of burrata, few leaves of arugula and couple cherry tomatoes, no sauce. Too simple for the price to my opinion. Not worth. - for the main course we got spaghetti alla carbonara (2 out 5). The sauce was decent, 3 pieces of pork which were on top were very dry, but the spaghetti by itself was extremely raw. I know pasta has to be al dente, but it was way undercooked to the point it was sticky to teeth. We sent it back to the kitchen to cook it more. When it came back it was better but still wasnt cook properly. We didnt want to deal with it so ate half of our meals. - 1 glass of cabernet (4 out 5). Our server was apologetic to the pasta situation and offered another glass of wine which was nice ! The check came out 100$ for 1 appetizer, 2 pastas and 1 glass of wine. Its way a lot for the quality of food that we got !!! Service was 3 out 5. We had to ask ourself about bread to our burrata, more water, silverware were never brought to us when pasta arrived so we took it from other table. But the staff were taking picture instead with some loud customers in the restaurant. Overall the whole experience was bad. We wont come back! read more

The place is amazing! But the food I can even described the bad experience I just have. 1st my appetizer were COLD, calamari and fried cheese cold. Fine, we let that one pass. I ask the waiter to please bring the next food hot because the appetizers were cold. My pizza came burn and they did nothing, I won't event dare to say again how they have to cook their food but 4 plates including the appetizers and were bad. First and last time. read more

The worst experience ever and very expensive placethe server Yvon was unprofessional. The ambient was horrible . Everyone was in a bad mood. We got there and didn't even serve us water until we asked. I asked for a Diet Coke forgot to bring it to me until I was almost finished with my food. We ask about the pizza size and she lied to us for us to buy more food. read more

I called in a order & walked 20 minutes to pick it up just to get back to my room & they didn't give me any utensils. The Caesar salad had entirely too much cheese & the carbonara pasta WAS NOT fresh. read more

The food was delicious! Authentic Italian. The Location was great for parking, lots of parking around there's even a garage right in front. No waiting time and it's easy to make reservations. The food took a little while. We didn't mind too much since the food was good. The only downside was that it was also very hot inside the restaurant, it almost felt cooler outside. read more

Wowza. I had the Tagliatelle Bolognese and it was perfect. Perfect portion size, perfect flavor, just perfect. And I didn't want to eat here! The wife had a Caesar salad and liked it but how bad can you screw up a Caesar Salad? The fried mozzarella was incredible. The minestrone soup was more like veggie soup-no beans, no pasta. read more

Wow! 5/5 stars hands down! It's on a corner street in Miami Beach so it's a bit loud if you sit outside on any given day though. My friend and I absolutely loved this place. Be sure to check into Yelp and you'll get a free glass of Prosecco! We ordered the bolognese pasta and the margarita pizza and they were both outstanding! The meat sauce in the bolognese was so light, yet had a ton of meat per bite. The pasta was freshly made and slightly al dente. It was perfect. The pizza was fresh out of the oven, cheese and sauces were well proportioned and delicious. We couldn't be happier with our choice in eating here! Highly recommend! read more

The pizza sauce taste like it was freshly made. They do not serve hot drinks. The service was okay. I notice some people was served bread and we weren't given any, maybe bcas we had pizza as opposed to the dinner menu. read more

The pizza at Fratelli's smacks. I compare this pizza to the real deal in italy and New York pies. The dough is perfectly cooked with fresh toppings in their wood fire oven. Every time I come to Miami, we stop by to get some pies and enjoy the impeccable deliciousness that is hard to duplicate. Can't believe this spot isn't 5 stars. read more

Excellent service and everything we ordered was wonderful. We ordered Pizza, pasta carbonara and potatoes. All were perfect.

Beware of being overcharged!! 20% "service charge" added that is "not a tip and for the owner" per our waitress. Additional tip for the waitress expected also. Ripoff read more

This was a favorite meal! The lasagna was excellent! Our server was super! We got lucky with 1/2 price wine night on a Wednesday.

I only ordered delivery from Fratelli La Bufala and it is quality food, delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the calzones and brick wood pizzas! read more

We were warned not to eat near the beach, but ordered take out from this pizza place anyway. Couple pizzas and salads. Showed up an hour later as directed, dude greeting did not seem to understand the concept of take out and just waved his hands at us. We spent a half hour repeating that interaction, then another guy picking up take out joined us and also got the same response. We told them our names like 10 times. Eventually (over an hour after we arrived) a woman intervened and demanded to know exactly what we had ordered. Another 20 min and we got our food! But it was super mediocre, pizza half raw and the sausage one was inedible gross. Oh, and it was 70 fucking bucks for that. read more

Good pasta and pizza. I arrived 30 min before closing and two waiters said they where closed. But it was 30min before closing... then an Italian lady came and greet us and let us in and was a great waiter - I'm glad she did. Restroom is very dirty they should remodel it Ambience light inside is too bright read more

I wish I can give this place NEGATIVE 100 stars, it's unfortunate how they treat their customers that need a table including people that pick up their orders. The short white guy that speaks Italian spoke about me in Italian and I speak and understand Italian clearly. DISGUSTING the way he treated me when I asked for a table and I had reservation with open table. He said all the tables were reserved but when I looked around there was two empty tables empty inside and all the tables empty outside, I was very confused . NO ONE GO THERE ! While leaving we came to a restaurant called La Locando, delicious and great customer service read more

Went here looking for a late night meal, and was lucky to find this place open and available. The outdoor seating was very cute, and made for a romantic evening. The service was fine, although we did have s but of a hard time getting our waters refilled. However, unfortunately the food was a bit of a letdown. I ordered the bolognese, and it tasted more like spaghetti and meatballs. My boyfriend ordered the gnocchi which he did enjoy, but said it tasted rather plain. This place did hit the spot for what we needed, but not sure if I would ever crave this pasta again. read more

Flew in to Miami when on help type in pasta/ Italian came up to this hole in a wall place in the middle of south beach. We ordered fettuci Alfredo the pasta looks like they did it straight from scratch. Also the sauce really really good !!!!. They have Italian beer and Italian wine which was really good. We also ordered the margarita pizza to top it off . The whole expletive was 10/10 defiantly coming back read more

I've only been here twice, but I knew that when my Italian friend (Sr. Boscacci) told me it was "The Real Deal", that I would not be disappointed. That was late 2020, and today I returned bc my nieces wanted PIZZA. I was so impressed with how quick and attentive the service was. I had the Carpaccio and it was DELISH! My husband & nieces loved the bread & pizza. We will definitely return. read more

Visiting from New York, going in my expectations weren't that high, but I was hungry for something Italian. The decor is tacky, the food was awful, the service was the only redeemable factor. My boyfriend and I ordered the Cacio e Pepe, calamari, and gnocchi. My pasta was undercooked, the calamari was bland and soggy, and the gnocchi tasted like chef boy r dee sauce. Later that night I woke up at 3 am with food poisoning. My boyfriend does not feel well either. We only came to the establishment because the reviews didn't seem bad and they were offering a check in promo. Should have just gone somewhere else. read more

Lunch on Thursday afternoon was excellent. They honor the free glass of Prosecco with your Yelp check-in, which really sets you up for a fantastic meal. I loved the Mediterranean salad & cacio e pepe. The salad is a large portion and can easily be shared amongst 4 people. The slices of mozzarella were so fresh & creamy. I also tried the pasta carbonara and preferred it to the cacio e pepe. Either one is a winning choice. Both pasta dishes were so creamy and the pasta was cooked perfectly. Service was welcoming and attentive. And the Italian music really brings it all together for an authentic experience. This meal just gave me all those good warm & fuzzy feelings. Can't wait to return. read more

Among the greatest Italian restaurants I've ever eaten in Miami. Everything tasted like a traditional Italian supper, and the food was fantastic!

We came here over 6 years ago on our last trip to Miami Beach together. Different location than it used to be, same amazing taste! This time we came for our wedding anniversary date and it was just as special then. The bolognese was absolutely amazing, they make everything from their pasta to their sauce in house. We split a tiramisu for dessert - absolutely decadent and also house made. Great selection of beverages as well. This place will forever remain one of our favorites and a must have every time we come to Miami Beach! read more

I was looking forward to ordering delivery as the reviews were very good. I was extremely disappointed unfortunately. One of the main dishes I ordered was not available and everything that did arrive was salty except for the children's penne with butter. Everything arrived cold which probably did not help the cause. Maybe the food would have been better if it were hot; however I don't think the salt factor would have improved. The margherita pizza was below average. My daughter loves margherita pizza and she refused to eat it. I tried it to see what the fuss was about and it was salty, missing cheese and soggy. Again the delivery could have affected this. The Salsicce e Friarielli (sausage was broccoli rabe) was ok but again salty. I ended up having that as what I initially ordered was not available. The best thing was the kids penne with butter as it was very simple and did not contain a lot of salt. I would suggest possibly working on their delivery insulation options as this is a huge factor and I definitely would not recommend this restaurant for delivery. read more
