    So sad. Recently went there are we were hit with a 20% "service charge " that the waitress said all went to the owner, not the wait staff. Then, we were expected to tip on top of that. We will never return after going for years while in town. Online menu clearly states 20% GRATUITY added to bill NOT SERVICE CHARGE AND GRATUITY. Very poor business practice!!
    Fratelli La BufalaResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for your feedback! We sincerely apologize for what the waitress said and want to assure you that we are taking this matter very seriously. To clarify, our restaurant has included a service charge (or gratuity) in the bill for nearly 10 years. This charge is used to compensate both our servers and bussers, ensuring fair wages for our team. The additional tip options displayed on the screen (set at 2%, 5%, and 7%) are entirely optional and serve as an extra gratuity that goes directly to the server, not the busser. The system is also set with an option for "None," allowing guests to skip additional tipping if they prefer. We greatly appreciate your understanding and feedback. If there’s anything more we can do, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

    If you like Napoletana Pizza, this is, by far, the best in Miami. It's not an expression, it really is!
