" My friends and I decided to check out Rufina's based on local recommendations, and I must say it’s a great spot! We were seated quickly, and our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. However, I did feel the food did not match the hype. While the cheese ravioli was tasty, it felt slightly bland compared to other places I've tried. Nevertheless, I would return for the ambiance and perhaps to try something else from the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Rufina's for lunch and was disappointed with the food. It felt under-seasoned and lacked the freshness I hoped for in an Italian restaurant. Though the staff was friendly, it didn't quite make up for the lack of flavor. I would give it another try, but I hope for a better dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe how consistently good Rufina's is! My family and I visit regularly, and we've always been impressed. The prices are reasonable for the quality, and their pasta is top-notch. I particularly love their marinara sauce, it's full of flavor and very fresh. The service was friendly and added to the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant! If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently took my family to Rufina's for a special celebration, and it did not disappoint! The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere that made us feel at home. Our server was friendly and attentive, ensuring our drinks were filled and our orders taken promptly. I opted for the veal saltimbocca, and it was one of the best I've had – tender and bursting with flavor. The portions were generous, and we all left with full stomachs and smiles on our faces. I will definitely be back for another visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally made it to Rufina's after hearing rave reviews from friends, and I can see why they love it! The food is incredibly flavorful and seems homemade with a lot of care. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana, and it exceeded my expectations. The portions were substantial, which justifies the price. The restaurant is cozy and inviting, and the staff is attentive. I can’t wait to come again and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard so many great reviews about Rufina’s that I had to try it for myself. While the ambiance was charming and the staff polite, the food didn’t capture the flavors I was expecting. My eggplant parmesan lacked the depth of taste. I may not return immediately, but perhaps I will give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to Rufina's several times now, and the experience has been consistently great! The pasta dishes are fresh and homemade, which is a huge plus for me. The staff is always polite and helpful, even when busy, but there have been moments of long waits during peak hours. I’ve had the veal parm multiple times, which never disappoints. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)
