" Dinner at Ruffino's was like stepping into a fine dining Italian experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance screamed elegance. I ordered the seafood risotto, and it was presented beautifully with fresh seafood. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and our glasses were never empty. For dessert, we indulged in the house special cannoli, which was heavenly. I can’t wait to come back for another meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first time visiting Ruffino's, and I was very impressed! The outdoor patio was great, and they had nice heat lamps for a cool evening. I ordered the shrimp scampi, and it was packed with flavor. The service was attentive but not overly familiar, which I appreciated. The garlic bread was the perfect side! Overall, a wonderful experience, and I'm looking forward to bringing friends with me on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had our family dinner at Ruffino's, and it was an absolute hit! Everyone enjoyed the bread and olive oil before dinner. I ordered the veal, and while it was tender, I found the sauce a bit lackluster. The kids devoured the pasta, so I guess that says a lot about the flavors! The service was attentive and friendly, which always helps make a night out enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" For a special dinner date, I would highly recommend Ruffino's. The ambiance is perfect for romance, and the service made us feel incredibly welcome. I had the gnocchi, and while it was good, I wished the sauce was a bit more robust. The dessert was delightful though, and our cake was shared pleasantly among the table. I would definitely return for the atmosphere and service! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Ruffino's was a very positive experience. The server was exceptionally helpful with menu recommendations and took great care of our table. I had the grilled salmon, which was well cooked but a bit dry. The appetizers were stellar, especially the crab cakes. I also thought the drink specials were a nice touch. It’s a place I would consider visiting again, but I hope for a wider dessert menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ruffino's is everything I look for in a restaurant! The service was excellent, and the food was undeniably fresh and flavorful. I started with the bruschetta, which was a perfect bite with fresh tomatoes and basil. My main course was the Chicken Marsala; it was cooked perfectly and had a rich, savory flavor. While the portions were satisfying, I felt the prices were a bit on the high side. Overall, a delightful dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here last weekend. The restaurant is classy, and the service was attentive. Although my ordered risotto was slightly undercooked, they were prompt to take it back and make a fresh serving. The pasta tasted homemade and that brought much excitement to the meal. I loved the dessert, especially the flourless chocolate cake, but I felt the portions could've been a little more generous for the price. However, the friendly service made up for the minor issues.
