A few friends and I came in from out of town and went there for dinner. We had reservations and the table was ready when we arrived. Our waitress was friendly and professional and she gave us a good cost/value recommendation for wine. Everyone stuck to the Italian meals and there were no complaints. The prices were a little higher... More

I have to tell you that the resteraunt is lovely but the food is well - poor. You can buy a better salad out of a bag at walmart, the entrees are flavorless and the presentation average. If you want sauce from a can, flat taste, no spice, and mass prepared meals this is for you. If' youd like something... More

Our family and a couple of friends went here to celebrate my daughter's birthday...her choice. The wait staff was friendly and professional for the most part, however the waiter forgot to place the order for one of our party. When the item arrived, it was not prepared to order and was waaaaay overcooked. Two dishes were well seasoned and prepared,... More

I just love lobster and Ruffino's does it perfect at a price you can't beat. If you are not a lobster lover the fish Katie is excellent. More

My vote for best has to be this place. From Lobsters on Sunday to great steaks, seafood, and Italian dishes on any operating day of the week, not to mention one of the best wine lists in town - oh,did I mention the service. This place cannot be beat! More

He hollered across the table at some friends...We were sitting in the bar but this was a really expensive restaurant for us and THAT was not what I expected. I will take my money down the road. More

My husband and I were celebrating a late birthday/Valentine's Day and had dinner at Ruffino's. This was our first visit. The food was very good, the atmosphere was romantic, and the service was exceptional. Although we were in jeans, we did not feel out of place. More

Usually good, fairly expensive food - Italian and other entrees. My last meal was inedible, but they took it back and brought a perfectly fine substitute. More

Wonderful food and a really cool, swanky atmosphere (website is equally swanky). We had reservations for a table for five but still had to wait awhile on a busy Thursday night and had to wait for our waiter to remember us to get the check at the end of the meal, but otherwise attentive and informative service! Food is really... More

My BFF and I dined at Ruffino's for the first time this past Saturday night. The food was very good, but there was too much time in between our courses. Despite the slow delivery of our food, we enjoyed the drinks, soups, entrees, and desserts! The Stuffed Eggplant Bisque was totally awesome! The Blueberry Lemon Drop Martini was very good... More
