We…read moreordered a couple off the menu specials and while the flavors were fantastic, the sauce over took everything and I had to use a spoon. This was a polenta base that needed to be whisked to get the lumps out. There were several. I think the shrimp was a tad overcooked but the scallops were perfect . I really loved the dish overall and I could tell whoever made it had a chef's pallet. So many great things on the menu to try that I will definitely go back. If you like goat cheese I can imagine you would like the fried balls. I did not. But that's just a personal preference. The bacon jam that came with them was terrible. Too smokey imo. The server was fantastic and sweet as can be. I really hope people go and experience this place. Next time I'll stick to some of the favorites...

I started off with that melt in your mouth Caesar carpaccio (raw ribeye but make it fancy) and those crispy crab arancini with the rich smoked tomato hollandaise; straight flavor bombs. For the main, the squid ink spaghetti with shrimp + jalapeño pesto was DIFFERENT in the best way! And that veal milanese over red wine risotto? Crispy, tender, and packed with flavor every bite. Dessert sealed the deal! King Cake panna cotta with orange curd was smooth, creamy, and perfect for Mardi Gras season. Plus that mascarpone cheesecake was light, rich, and straight dangerous. $62 for this whole experience during Restaurant Week is a STEAL!

They had a vegetarian menu - which had a variety of pasta options. In addition to the vegetarian menu, other items like salads on their regular menu are vegetarian as well. Their pasta is all homemade and it tasted amazing. I got the burrata salad, of which I requested beets be added to - delicious. Then the vegetarian baked ziti - of good size and definitely shareable, I ended up bringing a box home, also delicious. Their wine and cocktails list was pretty extensive as well. Ample free onsite parking. Whether you're looking for the perfect date night spot, girls nice dinner spot, or elevated family dinner - this is the place. 12/10!!!

Was thick but smaller in diameter than I'm used to, especially for the price. The olive mix added the expected salty/tangy flavor, but the rest was a bit blander than I was expecting. Anthony's Italian Deli and Monjuni's both make a bigger, more flavorful version of this sandwich. The best part of the meal was the cannoli. DELICIOUS! Service was prompt and attentive without being too familiar and overly friendly. Ambiance was about what I expected from a small neighborhood establishment; kind of reminded me of an Italian "Cheers".

The food was better than expected and huge portions. In other reviews, I felt that the temperature of my food was fine. Not too hot and not too cold. I don't like burning the inside of my mouth lol. The ambiance is really nice, too. They have modern light fixtures and decor. You can dress casual or upscale casual. The temperature of the inside was a bit on the chilly side, so a light sweater or jacket would be needed. Everything was so nice and would def return the next we are in BR.

The crab and corn bisque was a perfect portion and tastes wonderful. I had the Ruffino's Bolognese…read morewhich was a perfectly crafted blend of tender meats that the mint complemented so well. My husband had the blue crab gnocchi which he devoured. We fly into town for family often and are excited to make this a regular stop for us. We had our 5 year old with us who fell asleep on the way to the restaurant. They were very considerate and placed us in a booth so she could sleep. The bartender even gave us her child's blanket to keep her warm while we enjoyed our meal and drinks. What a wonderful and relaxing end to our day. Thank you so much!

We came to Rufino's for dinner on Saturday night, and luckily there was no wait. We weren't aware…read moreof the dress code, so my partner was politely asked to take his hat off while dining at the table. The ambiance was nice and quiet, with dim lighting for a more intimate vibe. For appetizers, we ordered the crabmeat cheesecake and calamari. Both were good, but the crabmeat cheesecake was AMAZING! I think the sauce for the calamari could use some improvements as it tasted a little too light for pairing. They offered complimentary bread service, and the olive oil/ balsamic mixture had tons of freshly grated cheese which tasted amazing compared to other places. For drinks, we both got bloody mary's, but mine was so stiff that it tasted like a double compared to my partner's.. They also didn't do the spiced rim and were out of pickled green beans. The drink experience was quite disappointing overall, so my partner finished it for me, and he agreed mine tasted like straight up alcohol. We decided on the 16 oz. ribeye and Rufino's bolognese for our mains, and upon arrival, I was EXTREMELY disappointed to see that they served the bolognese with rigatoni instead of tagliatelle. The pasta was also served warm, not hot like the roasted potatoes which was weird. Looking back at the menu, I regretfully did not read the entire description because it's bolognese and I expected the traditional pasta to be used in it. The pasta sauce was still delicious as well as the steak, but the roasted potatoes tasted so strongly of peanuts so I wasn't a fan at all. We noticed that they offered complimentary cotton candy for dessert, but we decided to splurge on the crème brûlée and it was so yummy! Overall, I would come back, but I would not get the calamari or the bolognese again. The service was friendly while still keeping things professional, but it definitely slowed down a lot once we received our entrees.
