Everything was top notch! We needed to add 3 people to our reservation and they were very accommodating. We enjoyed the apps, main courses, desserts, and drinks. The service and ambience is unbelievable.. they make you want to stay in there all day! Our out of town guests said that they would be back to Ruffino’s next time they’re in town. Best all around!

Very attentive and personable service, relaxing atmosphere and all dishes ordered were excellent. We frequented Ruffino’s for years and stopped going because the menus changed and the food wasn’t up to the previous standards. Happy to say everything last night was as good or better than before! We will be back!
