The Art of Pasta. Our restaurant has been serving Coral Gables for over 25 years.
We were originally established as a retail shop for fresh made pasta in May of 1985. Without a menu, and serving only two sampling dishes a day, “La Romagnola” outgrew its production facility within weeks of opening its doors. Following the relocation of our pasta machines to a factory setting, the space on Ponce de Leon was converted into a restaurant. At the same time, trademark reasons caused us to change the name to Bugatti, The Art of Pasta.
Bugatti quickly established itself as a specialty restaurant for Italian gourmet pasta, and for the longest time did not offer any other fare. In 2005, the restaurant received a new store front and an interior face lift. This is when we complimented our menu with some signature seafood, chicken and meat specialties.
The original configuration of our kitchen focused on the production of pasta and its fillings. This limited our ability to accommodate all cooking techniques normally applied in restaurants. Bugatti, to this day, is therefore still operating without a stove. We just do not have the room to install one. This situation requires an extraordinary attention to procedural details for every menu item during its creation and when it's prepared. As a result, Bugatti has proudly acquired its reputation for quality and consistency.
