Casa Bufala

I was so impressed by this restaurant and had the greatest time being wined and dined by some very good looking Italians. I loved that everyone actually spoke Italian (don’t worry they speak English too but it’s more fun when they speak to you in Italian). The ambiance feels very much like you are in someone’s home which I loved. The food was next level out of this world good. I don’t think I’ve ever had Italian food as good and authentic as I had here. I think this might be the closest you can get to actually being in Italy. So happy I found my new Italian spot in Miami!

very cute Italian restaurant with an authentic feel to it—the owner’s family came to have dinner, our waiter was Italian and had a very warm approach, the decor and ambiance were very nice as well. food was amazing—simple but delicious!

Casa Bufala was recently opened, love the atmosphere, and thanks to the entire management specially Edoardo and Andreea were fantastic , welcoming made me feel at home. The food was extraordinary, I have been dining on two separate nights and each night was incredible. Beef Carpaccio so delicious! The following day I had the Steak Tartare which was outstanding, I was then advised to try the special Veal Ossobuco and I'm so glad I did! Cooked to perfection, nice and tender it was served with Truffled Mashed Potatoes. Simply Exquisite!!! Bravissimi !!!

perfect location for a late night treat, romantic date, or birthday dinner. the staff was friendly and helpful. Gave us plenty of space but were also thoughtful and courteous while tending to us. The food was incredible!!! Specifically the entrees and desserts. The only qualm i had was with the octopus appetizer—a bit too chewy for my liking. for entrees we got the lobster gnocchi and filet mignon. those were amazing; truly so good. can’t recommend those enough. there was plenty of space in the restaurant: high tables, bar seating, regular tables; all very separated, good to feel more private. Will definitely be back!

Very very overpriced. Fair 4 stars No bread service or anything to start like let’s say most of the Italian spots give you definitely could send something when guest arrives. Tried vitello tonnato was basic for the price they charge portion was average but on a huge plate . I had way better dish like that at other Italian spots Tried super small and not really impressive beef tartare - meh Tried octopus wasn’t bad but 30+$ for octopus cmon Tried pasta one of their best pastas and most recommended ones - was good . But for the price they charging I expect that pasta to be wow and not just good. !!! Best I liked was pizza and tiramisu Pizza dough was really interesting . Would never come back but would definitely recommend to go once . Order pizza and dessert the way to go .

Amazing service. Bruschette was fresh. Lasagna was a cheesy dream. The tiramisu was the best I have ever had. Highly recommend. Please come try this place out!

I had a lovely dinner with my husband that felt like being back home in Italy!! Food is truly italian and you can tell the ingredients are genuine and imported! Everything we tried was tasteful and satisfying! Ossobuco with truffle puree is omg to die for!!!! I barely write reviews but we had to leave this place a full 5 stars! We will definitely come back it’s our new favorite Italian restaurant in Miami ! Greta job guy

Yelp Elite Event Review: Location is prime in Sunset Harbor SoBe. Service was attentive and great. And the food is splendid- try the lobster gnocchi with cheese; brick oven pizza; and end it with their homemade tiramisu. Cheers.

5 star ambience 4 star food 4 star service. After a Yelp Elite event here, I went back to try it a second time, good Italian food with decent service and terrific ambience on a quieter side street near Lincoln Road a few blocks away in Sunset Harbor 5 star ambience: the best part of the experience is the laidback vibe, especially just a block or two from Lincoln Rd. There's a nice street side outdoor seating, a side hallway through the building and large windows for a great view and light inside. 4 star food: it was perfectly OK but not great Italian bistro food. The pricing seemed a little aggressive. 4 star service: Service, as is sometimes the case near Lincoln Road, came with a slight helping of attitude

We took advantage of the Pasta Tuesday, all pastas $15. It was worth it. My husband had the agnolloti, little pillows of pasta filled with cheese and topped with steak tartare (not alongside) . The asparagus was kind of difficult to find. I had the spaghetti with clams, highly recommended by the waiter. At first it looked like very few clams, but they were hidden in the al dente pasta. It's quite a deal. The service was very attentive except the water was not refilled and our wine orders were totally forgotten! I would have really enjoyed a prosecco with my pasta. We might try the Happy Hour another time.

A delicious Manhattan made exactly as it should be by Nick while I wait for the classic Margarita pizza - a hidden gem in sunset harbour. The owners also own a south beach pizza classic on 5th Street and Washington. They've made the interior as comfortable as they can. Always get a good service.

Went last night for dinner with my sister and Casa Bufala did not disappoint. We got the parmigiana di melanzane, the tuna tartare, the Marguerita pizza, the pappardelle Al funghi porcini and the tiramisu. Everything was so good and the service was good. The restaurant was not very busy for a Saturday night.

Lovely spot in sunset harbour! Looking for Italian the other day and found this little gem. Very cozy, great location and good food. Super recommended if you are in this area, and yes, service is friendly, attentive and most of them (servers) are Italians so makes this place even more attractive for me. For sure a place to be back. Parking lot available next to the restaurant. Pet friendly

Great food. Loved the assortment of pizza. Very good service and exceptionally fast. I love the ambient vibes. I would love to come back. Great alternative to Lucali, if you don't want to wait!

The restaurant is excellent! The food is delicious. The servers are very attentive. I highly recommend!

So this is my neighborhood restaurant. And I am going to say it is a bit slow. So I hope this review gets more people to come. First Sal the bartender is the best. He literally will make you any drink you you want But I will say it is the pizza. Enrico is a pizza master. Yes I will say they are of Neapolitan style but this thin crust Gorgonzola pizza that he made for me with a bit of spice was some of the best I have had. Come enjoy it is very welcoming.

Awful Not one dish we had was good Lasagna not good Crab pasta had to sent it back so salty Pizza soggy Salt crusted branzino was tasteless Skip it

As a local who's lived on miami Beach for 15 years i had to finally try this place. It's been around forever. I love sunset harbor so when they opened a store there, I had no more excuses of not making it down to 5st. The service was very good, very friendly and helpful. The food was also good but not worth the hype that I've always heard. So again I go back to my usual complaint, over priced for locals.

Great addition to Sunset Harbour. Good happy hour menu. Great service. Manager was nice. Bar tenders very attentive.

Delicious authentic Italian food. Had branzino, pizza, med salad, truffle mash potatoes, all very delicious. Wine list has nice selection and reasonably price. Service warm and friendly--Sal! We'll definitely comeback.

Excellent cuisine. Typical Neapolitan pizza very well done'. Favorite dishes: Veal tonnato, vellutata di zucca and Frutti di mare alla Ligure. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Nice bar, you can watch any game you want ! I love it

Awesome new italian spot in sunset harbour, excellent variety of wine, good specials , ossobuco is a must and also the burgers and mini burgers are exquisite!!! full licor and comfy seats at the bar to watch games ! Staff and manager are very welcoming and friendly Give it a shot !

I had the pleasure of dining at Casa Bufala with a group of friends. The Wait staff we're on top of things and very friendly. The group of people I was with what is really delicious food and of course you know cocktails. I think the waitstaff was frustrated by how slow the kitchen was. The servers kept apologizing, and they kept running back to the Kitchen, to see how much longer the appetizers and the dinners were coming out together had the table had food and the other half we're waiting for their food. The funny thing is everybody got to taste everyone else's food while they were waiting for their own, and the one thing everybody agreed upon is that the food was really good. The service was excellent the drinks for real real good the pricing was not all of the charts. The kitchen was really the issue, and to see people that work in the restaurant standing there instead of jumping in and helping, we were all kind of surprised. Usually everybody would complain, but we actually had a great time. It was almost comical with the waitress and. kitchen we're going at it. The restaurant was busy, but it was not packed but all in all everyone's opinion at the end of the meal was it it would all come back again we had a great time. The food was really good. The waitress was very sweet and I hope they get the kitchen in order.

I find restaurant reviews subjective, so for me the soft pizza bottom doughy center & crispy edges were great paired with ridiculously fresh ingredients imported from Italy . We ordered Marguerite and Parma pizzas , if you order apps, one pizza good for two maybe 3 slices each. Marco and his team kept things moving with grace and smiles. We ordered the Polpette Al Sugo (meatballs) and calamari for apps , the calamari was light , tender and crispy, sauce -my Italian father's standard. Polpette , tender juicy ,with pecorino cheese , sheeps milk not my favorite , I like parmigiana , again subjective. Lastly the ANGIOLETTI CON NUTELLA , fried dough boy pieces rolled in sugar with Nutella, along with the cappuccino , well let's say it will be a new staple on our winter breakfast table .

We had some friends in town and thought we would try the new restaurant close to our apartment. We got the Margarita Pizza as an appetizer and couldn't believe how close it was to a true pizza from Naples. Our mains were pasta bolognese with fresh pasta and a tangy meat sauce and linguine with clams, also very delicious! Can't wait to go back! Staff were very attentive and friendly. We ate outside so can't comment too much on the inside decor.

We just tried Casa Bufala for the first time this evening and it was wonderful! The staff was so warm and welcoming and the food was delicious. Our server, Salvatore, took excellent care of us and the manager, Edoardo, checked in on us several times. The table-filleted bronzino was incredible!

I would say this place really gets a 3.5... slightly better than "meh." To start with the positive: the interior is really cute and vibey. Service was okay. The food was really nothing special unfortunately. I had the vongole (linguini and clams) and it had very little flavor, I had to add on salt and lots of Parmesan. My husband had the veal Milanese and while it was good, it was also more than 50$...so honestly, not worth the price tag. We are locals so we figured we'd stop in, but nothing would draw us to come back again.

Amazing service. Very personable. Nikola shook my hand before I got the chance to sit down.

Very tasty and delicious. The italian touch is magnificent. Great food!

New Italian spot in sunset harbor with a warm and cozy atmosphere, food is truly Italian, traditional Italian recipes, great pizzas and awesome drinks ! Management and servers are nice and polite. It's just what the neighborhood needed ! Good job guys see you soon

Beautiful place but sadly overpriced. Too much salt! OK service. Will not last. Specially through a recession. Tourist trap.

I have tried this place 3 times was hoping for improvement. I am officially done trying it. I don't understand how this location is so bad, and the other one is much better. Pizza is under cooked, they get annoyed when u ask for it to be cooked more. I ordered Casa Amigo Blanco taste like a vanilla flavored something which means they are doing something to alcohol. Another time, I ordered Don Julio blanco he started pouring Patron into the glass. The service is awful, along with everything else. The manager is there, but doesn't seem to care about the customers. Too bad we needed a new fresh place in Sunset Harbor.

Delicious food in a cozy and welcoming environment for a fair price. Highly recommended!

Delicious, authentic Italian. Was enjoying Sunset Harbor at lunchtime with friends and stopped in for a quick lunch, ended up staying a lot longer as the food was so reminiscent of our travels to Italy and the pizza, was the best we have had yet in south beach. As an eggplant connoisseur my wife gave it "Best ever" status. stay for dessert as the Tiramisu was light and heavenly.

Great service. Great food. Everything else was superb. We love this little spot on the beach. We are locals and always love seeing new places pop up and especially when they are very delicious.

The pizza oven was broken. We requested a few apps and they said they were out of those as well. Cocktails were flat and very basic for the price. Pasta was just Ok. Service was average at best. Some restaurant workers were smoking in the alleyway--because it was slow and they had nothing better to do? Not sure how management allows that. The bathrooms were not renovated--they were dirty, smelly and flat out disgusting I felt like was walking into a public bathroom. We had high hopes for Bufala in our neighborhood. Pretty disappointing.

Nice atmosphere but the pizza was very doughy and undercooked, the chicken was good but the portion was very small, the waiter even pointed it out and brought us more chicken. The pasta was okay.

Just left this absolutely amazing place and I couldn't be happier with the food and service. Our server was Salvatore and he was extremely proffesional and knew exactly what we wanted to order.The food was amazing and the desert to die for!We were approached by the GM Mr Edoardo and he introduced himself making sure we were well taken care of.All around this place is absolutely amazing!Thank you guys i will definitely be back!!

Food & service is absolutely incredible. The bartender and manager went above and beyond extending true Italian hospitality. Calzone & branzino top quality!
