The food is very good, and the service is very good. the atmosphere is good and well decorated. The refurbished resturant is located in the original main railroad station in Liberal right next to the mainline tracks of the railroad. Sometimes trains come through and can be loud, but I found them interesting. They usually pass through town quickly so... More

I loved the space and the menu was loaded with the usual fare one might expect from an italian restaurant. I was plesantly surprised by the prices considering this is probably the nicest restaurant in town but it is Liberal KS after all so locals may think its actually expensive. My chicken Piccata was "cooked to perfection" as indicated in... More

One of the best places to eat in Liberal, according to my opinion. I happen to be the leading expert on my opinion. Just about everything I've ordered here has been very good. Atmosphere is nice as is the wait staff. Prices are fair for the quality and portion size. More

We ate here because of the reviews and we weren't disappointed. The portions are large and because we were just passing through (couldn't take leftovers with us) we split one order which was more than enough - there was a $2 charge to split. They gave us four buns which were very large and good and we got the dipping... More

Located in a former Railroad Depot this intimate restaurant was very classy but comfortable, and the food was delicious. I had the best grilled Talapia that I've ever had and would highly suggest it if you like fish. My husband enjoyed the pasta w/marinara sauce and the rolls were to die for. We were too full for desert but they... More

I am a picky celiac diner who has lived in Italy before being gluten free. The sauces were authentic, the pasta choices diverse and the caesar salad with grilled shrimp terrific. I even had a gluten free roll for dipping in the olive oil and garlic. Nice to be able to partake of the same rituals as my friends. They... More

This is the only Italian restaurant within an hour's drive, at least. Last night I went with my family, including a 4-year-old and everyone enjoyed their food. I especially liked the manicotti. My mother always orders the cheese raviolli and my sister and nephew like the pizzas. It's located in the historic old train depot and has a lot of... More

I have eaten here several times and tried a lot of different menu items. I had found each of them to be excellent until my last visit when I had a dish with scallops in it. I had eaten another dish with scallops previously and thought it was very good. This time, I thought the scallops were much smaller than... More

I've tried finding good food here in the past since I come through here on occasion. I kept dreading coming back, because I kept getting referred to places for "great food" only to find that I should've just gone to Walmart and got a TV dinner. I decided to pop in to Ruffino's. The word "Wow" is a good start... More

After eating at the usual places in Liberal we wanted something different. Ruffino's was a bit hard to find but definitely worth the trouble. It's a very nicely decorated place in an old depot just off Kansas Ave. Service was a bit spotty as we had a waitress-in-training but she had someone looking over her shoulder to keep things moving...
