La Moderna, Miami Beach

From the founder of Fratelli La Bufala comes La Moderna, a Sunset Harbour trattoria specializing in authentic Neapolitan brick-oven pizza and rustic-modern Italian classics. The space is decorated in an industrial style with millwork imported from Italy and a beautifully crafted copper bar.


We started the evening at the bar. They have great happy hour specials with discounted drink prices and complimentary mini margherita pizzas. After spending some time at the bar, learning more about their signature cocktails from the wonderful bartender, we headed to our table.

We started our meal with their burrata e crudo. Delicious fresh burrata cheese nestled by delicious San Daniele prosciutto. For my main dish I went with the fettuccine porcini e tartufo which is their house made fettuccine with an imported porcini mushrooms and black truffle sauce. The slices of black truffle in the pasta made for an amazing flavorful sauce.


My husband ordered the gnocchi bolognese which is their house made ricotta gnocchi in a beef bolognese sauce. We agreed it was the best gnocchi we've had. The sauce is just the right consistency and the perfect compliment to the gnocchi.






To finish the meal we shared a slice of their delicious house made cheesecake. Light and fluffy on top with a crispy crust, it comes beautifully plated.



La Moderna is located at 1874 Bay Road, Miami Beach, FL.  (786) 717-7274
