Casa Bufala

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 Harbor5 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
