Ruffinos Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

We went on May 14th, a Thursday night to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary. We took an Enjoyment coupon with us which met all their restrictions (or so we thought): (1) Can't be used during Early Bird Hours of 4:00 to 6:00 (we arrived after 6:00 p.m.); (2) Can't be used on Friday or Saturday (we were there on a Thursday); and (3) Can't be used from December 15-April 15 (it is May). So we presented it at the end of our dinner and were informed by our waiter that he couldn't take it because we only drank water. He says there was a misprint on the coupon and the last restriction is you have to order a "beverage" - he didn't specify alcoholic or nonalcoholic. I think he might have meant Iced Tea or a soda. He said there was a sign on the door indicating as such. We left and I was ticked off! We have patronized this restaurant for 23+ years. The prices keep going up, but the total credit on Buy One Entree, Get another at equal or lesser value has always stayed at $12.00. They should raise it to at least $15.00! Upon exiting the restaurant, I did finally notice the sign off to the right of the door on a front window. You have to really be looking off to the right to notice

The staff were friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the food was delicious! We went late on a Sunday night. We were seated quickly and the food came out fast. It was relatively quiet with just a few other tables, but there was a steady stream of people coming in to pick up to-go orders. We were pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back!

I ate here for the first time tonight. The food was amazing. Everyone was friendly. The service was incredibly slow. I don't know if that was the FOH or the BOH or both, but it took 19 minutes to get my drink after i walked In the door and 45 minutes until the food hit the table. Moral of the story is I will definitely be back, just not when I'm in a rush

My husband's spaghetti, sausage and meatballs was fantastic, the bread was fresh. If you don't really have Love Garlic tell them.. If you do your in for a real treat! My dinner was Shrimp scampi in a lemon butter sauce. It was good but Id try a different fish next time. I'm picky about my water and it was very refreshing with no aftertaste. I've had a few pizzas from here and they never disappoint. The decor was cute. The seating was comfortable. Prices were certainly very reasonable for the portion sizes. I will definitely go again. The waitress and staff were all very welcoming. I never felt rushed and she just kept that water coming.

This place is in a neat shopping center; it was a bit difficult to notice. The restaurant is on the smaller side, although still great for a nice, casual family dine-in. The inside of the restaurant is really nice and has a fancy Italian style. The host was quick to seat us, and the waiter gave us time to order. She was able to tell it was my first time, which I appreciated. I ordered the pasta e fagioli soup. The soup was very flavorful. The side order of meatballs was supposedly 100% beef, according to the waiter and confirmed with the chef. Yet the second I ate a piece of the meatball, my stomach became upset and in pain, immediately after consuming a piece of the supposed 100% beef meatball. I would like to include that I have a pork and veal intolerance/allergy, which easily causes me to have an upset stomach or somach pain or even throw up or cause sometimes 2 or all 3 reactions to occur. Especially if and when I eat something that contains pork or veal (a form of beef, specically a baby cow/calf). I am not accusing the restaurant of using pork or veal (a form of beef, specifically a baby cow/calf), although it is suspicious that when I consumed the piece I ate, my stomach wa
