About

Mimmo La Bufala is a family-run Italian restaurant in Hampstead serving authentic Neapolitan cuisine from a traditional wood-fired oven. Founded by Mimmo, who spent decades perfecting his craft as part of the Fratelli la Bufala chain before establishing his own brand, the restaurant showcases the gastronomic heritage of Naples through critically acclaimed pizzas, homemade pasta, and classic Italian dishes prepared with ingredients imported directly from Italy.

The smart, modern dining room creates a welcoming atmosphere where Mimmo's passion for both food and life shines through. Customers particularly love the tender buffalo mozzarella, wood-fired pizzas with perfectly charred crusts, and seasonal specials that demonstrate serious culinary skill. The carefully chosen wine list complements the menu perfectly, featuring Italian bottles selected to enhance each dish.

Dogs are welcome throughout the restaurant, making it an excellent choice for a meal out with your four-legged friend. The team provides water bowls and takes a relaxed, genuinely welcoming approach to canine guests.
