The place
In the heart of Hampstead, Mimmo La Bufala represents the personal evolution of a journey that began as a founding member of the international chain Fratelli la Bufala. Born in Pozzuoli and raised between Naples and Florence, Mimmo chose South End Road to independently showcase Neapolitan gastronomy: pizzas baked in a genuine wood-fired oven, fresh pasta, traditional starters and fish and meat dishes. With over twenty years of recognition, the restaurant stands out for the authenticity of its preparations and a wine list designed to enhance the menu.

The figures
In the making · In the kitchen
The wood-fired oven guarantees extraordinarily flavourful and authentic pizzas in the Neapolitan tradition, unlike many restaurants that claim to cook the Italian way without owning the original equipment.
Mozzarella di bufala campana (buffalo mozzarella from Campania), parmesan, bresaola and other essential ingredients are chosen to remain faithful to the original flavours and quality of Neapolitan preparations.
The labels have been carefully selected to perfectly accompany the menu and enhance the dishes of Neapolitan and Mediterranean tradition.
