" I was really looking forward to dining at Ruffino's for the first time, but it fell short of my high expectations. The ambiance was nice, but my pizza was lacking the rich flavors I was craving. Maybe I expected too much, given the hype surrounding this restaurant. Service was polite, but I felt rushed at times which complicated the experience. I might give it another try, but only if I’m in the area again. Otherwise, I'm not in a hurry to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Ruffino's and had a very mixed experience. The ambiance was lovely, and the service was friendly. However, I found my pasta dish to be lacking in flavor – it was a bit bland, which was disappointing given my expectations for authentic Italian cuisine. The portion size was decent, but I wished the flavors had more zest to fulfill the traditional Italian profile. Overall, it was an okay dinner, but I might try somewhere else next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" There's a reason why Ruffino's is a staple in the area! My meal was simply delicious from start to finish. I enjoyed the pork chop special, and it was one of the best I've had. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it perfect for a family evening. The only downside was the dessert felt overpriced and underwhelming in terms of flavor. Overall, a great dining experience with only a minor hiccup. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's been a while since I've had such an impressive Italian meal! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Ruffino's and were blown away by the quality. I ordered the lobster ravioli, and it was filled with just the right amount of lobster and a bright, tangy sauce. The service staff were incredibly knowledgeable about the wine pairings and were attentive to our needs throughout dinner. The overall atmosphere was romantic, making it perfect for our celebration. I highly recommend their tiramisu for dessert – it was the best I've ever tasted! " (*Curated Review*)

" Striking a perfect balance between casual and upscale, Ruffino's hosted my birthday dinner. The service was exceptional - the staff truly made it feel special by showing personal touches. However, the food, although good, didn’t quite blow me away. I had the lasagna which was quite filling, but it lacked the depth of flavor I expected. I look forward to returning, but I hope for better culinary execution 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.
