Decided to take a seafood break and wanted to have a meat dinner. We opted to have a 1.3 Kg medium rare gallega beef with crispy french fries. For appetizers we had the mixed green salad, summer tomato salad and their popular rosemary focaccia with rosemarry. Steak was cooked as ordered and the crispy potatoes were good. Service was attentive but a little tad aggressive to upsell. read more

We had an awesome dinner here on our last night in Sorrento. We tried it because they have such a unique menu with tons of meat options so it was a nice change up from what we were getting used too. The Buffalo mozzarella and prosciutto was an awesome start, followed by a perfectly cooked Buffalo steak that had an awesome grilled flavor. I'd definitely recommend to anyone visiting Sorrento read more

Outstanding steak!! The service was fantastic as well. The ambiance was amazing and we were stuffed when we left!!!!! It was an awesome first night in Sorrento! read more

Not sure how many stars you give a meal that never happened, so I went with 3, as I"m sure this is a lovely place. But, we made a reservation for three on the night of our arrival in Sorrento, got a confirmation of that reservation, took a hotel shuttle into town, walked a half mile to the restaurant, and it was closed. 7:30 on a Wednesday. The website was still taking reservations, even for that night, but nothing. Very disappointing. We went to Ristorante L'Abate and had a great meal, so it worked out. read more

Delicious!!! We searched this restaurant on the suggestion of our BnB host, but honestly had mediocre expectations (I can't really say why we felt that way, we just did). But Fabio met us at the door, explained that they raise their own buffalo and grow their own veggies for the restaurant, and sold us on the experience. The service from everyone, and I mean everyone at the restaurant from Fabio, our server Francesco, and the owner himself, were extremely attentive, polite and very helpful. And our food was delicious. We tried their cheeses, focaccia bread, eggplant parmigiana, buffalo ragù, and their buffalo T-bone steak so so god. They also had great wine suggestions as well. Highly recommend! read more

Mozzarella at this place is fantastic. Best mozzarella bar ever. The steak was equally as good. Get the bisteca Fiorentina. You won't regret it. Pappardelle and pasta with lobster were great sides to have with steak. Franco is an excellent host. read more

Very good service, excellent food and I was very impressed with the staff and their top tier quality and kindness.

Everything was delicious , great wines and desserts and amazing service. Off a quiet street with less traffic made the meal so much more enjoyable. read more

We stopped by this place randomly on our way back to our hotel. They had just opened and we were greeted so quickly by Fabio. If you ever come here, ASK FOR FABIO! He is so well knowledges about the menu, how the meats are made and his service is phenomenal. He always made sure we were happy and had everything we needed. He also made really great recommendations as it was our first time. He even took our husbands into the fridge to show us the aged meats. So intimidate and the guys really loved it! The food was great! ALL OF IT! read more

Really disappointing dinner in many ways. The service was chaotic, the food was just so-so and it took so long to get served that we were ready to leave after just having appetizers. The wine was just fair too, not very pleasing. I really disliked the mozzarella cheese baked in lemon leaves and another forgettable appetizer of grilled vegetables and bruschetta. My wife had a tagliatelle mushroom dish which was supposed to have had truffles, but they were nowhere to be found. I had the buffalo steak over a piece of bread, which tasted like cube steak. Really a disappointing dinner all the way around. With over 100 restaurants in Sorrento, it's not one I'd recommend. read more

Inn Bufalito - Not a great wine, even for 32 euros. - Cucina campana Near Me - Sorrento, NA

On our last night in Sorrento, we went to Inn Bufalito for dinner, we had a made a reservation the day before for our party of 9 and so we were promptly seated outside as we had requested. This was a hit or miss experience for me. We order the these cheeseboard appetizer which was large and quite tasty. The drinks that we ordered were very watered down so I would order the wine to be safe. We ordered lasagna, truffle pasta, lemon shrimp pasta, grouper and a few people shared a large steak, which was just ok. My lemon shrimp pasta was fantastic, along with the grouper entree and the truffle pasta. After dinner, the service lacks somewhat, we waited quite a while for the server to come back, we also requested some desserts since we were celebrating two birthdays but that never came, since our party was somewhat large, we wanted separate checks which they could not accommodate so we had to do that ourselves. read more

I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I was surprised to see that the restaurant was not busy when we arrived. The reviews are good, but when we arrived there were only a few tables filled. Then I realized I went during the off season and went at a normal American time, 7:30. I am sure they became more busy... and during the height of the tourist season it must be very busy. The staff was amazing. Very good place!! Enjoy! read more

Best eggplant parm I've ever had . Delicious creamy red sauce , excellent steak, pasta worth the trip.

Favorite place to eats at while in Sorrento. Get the Italian cheesecake and the cheese plate!

Made a same day reservation here when staying in Sorrento. There was quite a long line when we arrived so a reservation seems like a must! Even with, we waited about 20 minutes to be seated but were able to go to the bar and get a drink in the meantime. Request an indoor table if possible. Food here was quite good! If you can't tell based on the name, there are many Buffalo options. We both had a variation of Buffalo meat with pasta and enjoyed it. I ended up trading with my husband because mine was a bit more gamey than I was expecting. Overall a great meal and cocktails! read more

Ah. Underwhelmed. Good concept, but the good wasn't that good. Great wine selection, great dessert just didn't dig most of the food we had here. Much better choices to try in Sorrento! read more

Lovely evening at an outside table dining and speaking with and getting to know our charming and jovial waiter Marco. A bit of a more modern/rustic setting than other nearby restaurants, it offered a fresh atmosphere. We started with the sampler of the buffalo cheeses. All different, full of texture and fresh. Well worth this option so that you can try everything! The pasta - homemade with clams and zucchini, this dish was to die for. The pasta couldn't have been cooked better or be fresher. We are every bit. The fish we shared was meaty yet light. Similar to a swordfish texture but not as thick. Very fresh. House wine, cheese sampler, pasta (shared), fish (shared) and after dinner drinks was $80 including tip. Portions were large enough to share and we were full at the end. Delicious and authentic meal! *This review was part of a 10-day eating binge, I mean vacation with my mother. The summary here reflects both of our opinions* read more

I was taking advantage of the restaurant's outdoor bench seating to relax and catch-up on my mobile phone texts -- they don't open before 6PM -- but lost track of time and was greeted by a waiter who did not ask me to leave, but asked if I wanted a beverage. I ordered some of the local Sorrento wine which was being featured, and a mozzarella sampler. My favorite was the Burrata, but all of them were tasty. I decided to move inside and have dinner. The interior is fairly large and includes a full bar with additional seating, as well as a separate bistro-size mozzarella bar with its own entrance. The music playing was mostly 40's and 50's era American artists, so it appeared they are catering more to tourists than locals, and given the early hour, that was mostly who filled the restaurant. White bean soup and homemade spaghetti were my meal choices - both were very good. Bread was offered with the meal. Considered dessert, but instead had an after-dinner drink. Entrees were moderately priced and portions were substantial. Meal cost with drinks was ~€35 Despite the tourist-y vibe, the wait staff was polite and attentive, most spoke English fluently and didn't scoff when you attempted Italian :-) They also gave recommendations on the menu when asked, and unlike other places I'd gone weren't hovering over you to encourage you to pay the check and leave. Overall, a good place for a relaxed dining experience. read more

Always satisfying for lunch or dinner. Authentic Neapolitan cuisine at a reasonable price. Known for their buffalo mozzarella, I would consider this a must have while dining here. As with many restaurants here, you'll find seasonal rotating options on the menu. I am usually fortunate enough to be here at a time when zucchini flowers are in season. They stuff these little gems with ricotta and herbs and a drizzle of olive oil. Burrata doesn't need much to be outstanding. In this case, a carpaccio of tomato and local olive oil accompanies. Spaghetti with buffalo mozzarella and pasta vongole certainly didn't let us down. House wine and proseco were good and there's a full wine list available. There's a fine selection of amaro for after the meal. Free wifi and outdoor seating available. read more

Everywhere was closed in Sorrento one night. This place was just shutting down and they were kind enough to let us sit down inside and have one of the best meals my wife and I had in Italy while we were there for three weeks. Our server was fantastic, the food was awesome and they even gave my wife a linen towel with the restaurant's name sewn on it as a souvenir to take home. read more

Classic tourist rip off spot. Watched as owner manipulated bill to overcharge us for drinks.

Have you ever had a friend tell you about a movie that he said was really good? So based on his recommendation you go see the movie expecting something good or great but the movie ends up being whack-a-doo? This happened to me in the past and unfortunately applies to Inn Bufalito. Based on the reviews I've read I expected a good meal, but what I got instead of Buffalo was more Bull than anything. What did we order? Buffalo Mozzarella starter: combo of 4 varies of this cheese. I thought it was kind of bland and boring. Mozzarella is a good compliment to many dishes but as the main event it's like Michelle from destinys child. She was good with Kelly and Beyonce but by herself, nope. T-Bone Steak: this was just a poorly cooked piece of T-Bone, overcooked and lacked flavor. Spaghetti and meatballs: Authentic Italian restaurants in Italy don't serve this dish. I should have known I was asking for trouble. It's like asking an Italian restaurant to make me a super burrito, it's not gonna work. Rick Steves recommended this place. Have you ever seen that guy? I wouldn't hang out with him, so why the heck does everybody go by his travel book like its the bible? I don't know but I know "stay out" of "Inn" Bufalito... read more

We had a reservation for Christmas Eve dinner and Franco did not disappoint! We had a large party of 10 with several kids, so we got seated in the store dining room area- it became a private room for us which was perfect. No stress about kids bothering anyone else and a very cozy atmosphere for our family. We got a sampling of many different mozzarella's- all really wonderful, calamari, and other appetizers that were all delicious but I can't remember them all! We got several different seafood dishes for the main course, again all were wonderful. Franco lured wine for the meal and nailed it. It was one of the most memorable meals we had on our 2 week vacation. Thank you Franco and everyone at Inn Bufalito for a wonderful Feast of Seven Fishes! read more

Delicious tomahawk steak. Buffalo mozzarella best I have ever had. Definitely worth one of your dinner nights in Sorrento.

Stopped in for an appetizer and bottle of wine. Friendly staff. Offered bread, was brought out promptly with the appetizer. Server never came back, never brought the wine. Got the bill. Was charged 14 guest fee and for the bread read more

Thank you Inn Bufalito for being awesome. While wandering the streets of Sorrento we came across this place on a busy night... Put it on the to do list of dinner in Sorrento. Made reservations for 8pm on Monday and got in right away. The atmosphere was great, servers were nice and spoke English! Enjoyed a sampler appetizer and a bottle of Chardonnay. No one rushed us while we enjoyed dinner and our entrees were perfect. We got the buffalo filet and the basil spaghetti. Very affordable and modern!! read more

Disclaimer: We did not order Inn Bufalito's signature buffalo mozzarella tonight, so this review and 3/5 stars does not do this restaurant full justice. Service is 5/5 - fast, efficient, and professional. Also spoke very good English. Did not solicit like the other restaurants around here. Fyi there are 2 locations - one at the central piazza,but that one is a takeout sandwich shop. The main restaurant is on the side street perpendicular to the English Pub. No sea view, but lovely, clean, and modern inside and outside seating. Vegans and people who don't like or can't eat dairy... This is not the place for you! Almost every menu option features cheese and/or red meat. Those in search of seafood, this is not the place. Here the focus is on cheese and they do a good job at it :) Otherwise nothing wrong or exciting about the food we ordered. The vegetarian eggplant parmesan, which is made with the famous buffalo mozzarella, was a huge and thick portion, sufficient as a main. The vegetarian gnocchi with tomato sauce, basil, and mozzarella, supposedly, we do not recommend if you're going for a pasta dish that features their cheese because it was barely detectable in the tomato sauce. Once again I was not impressed by the grilled vegetables - better than the veggies at Tavern Allegra last night, but both are so bland. I ended up ordering my favorite grilled vegetables platter at Il Pozzo for takeout afterwards. Complimentary small bread basket included in the 1 euro (low!) cover charge. Value- a bit pricy, but very reasonable in comparison to other restaurants around here. Vegetarian pasta dishes hover around 10-12 euros. The quality of food is exceptional though! read more

Amazing! The portions are EXCEPTIONALLY large. I made the mistake of ordering two appetizers (basically enough food for 4 people) and then dinner on top of that... oops! Fantastic buffalo mozzarella! The sampler plate (HUGE) is a great way to go. The setting is amazing - very rustic and clean. Somewhat down a bit of a "random alley" but once you find it, it won't be as crowded (and will be MUCH better) than the touristy places. Definitely worth stopping by for a meal. read more

Not a good experience at all. Steaks were "ok" but the service not good at all.

Unfortunately not a good choice. read more

Our first dinner we had in Sorrento after a long travel day from Venice and it did not disappoint. Excellent food, table wine and service. Large portions, so sharing is definitely an option. We left full and completely happy with our choices. It is located on back street off the main drag, you can sit inside or outside, we chose inside and it was lovely atmosphere! Thank you! read more

Food was amazing I had the ribs. Service was excellent and restaurant is nice inside, dogs allowed. If you go for dinner make a reservation

The grilled vegetables with Burrata was very good but the pasta dishes were fair. Neighboring table had a massive steak for 2 which 2guys devoured. Happily. Pasta is not the play; make sure they cook the steak the way you want it. read more
