We had an amazing meal here with a group of 8. I had chicken piccata which was great, others had chicken parm, veal piccata and pasta. The appetizers were delicious-we had calamari, which was not fried and the beet salad. The bruschetta was also fantastic. For dessert we had lava cake, our favorite, and tiramisu, so good! The bread they served was also amazing, I think focaccia, and someone told me they make it in house. Staff was so friendly and helpful too and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun.

First time we have visited Rufina's. The girls like to eat out and we look forward to trying new places. We're Italian, we like eating Italian, and the website and menu looked good enough to want to try it. The bar is small and gets more patrons than we saw in the two dining room areas. The waitress was quick to serve us water and take our non-alcoholic beverage order, which came quickly. She brought bread soon after (which the texture was odd. It seemed undercooked or maybe its meant to be REALLY dense/heavy?). She was sure to mention that there was a 'huge' party in the back area (we saw maybe 10 people), who took more time and attention to serve, understandably. We waited probably about 30-40 min. for a drink from the bar. We waited more than an hour for our food. We took our first bites and none of us liked what we tasted. One dish was not recognizable as a saltimbocca and the other dishes had a very weird, sort of burnt flavor to the sauce. After a second bite, it seemed like the sauce pan burnt and was scraped a bit which left some tiny black flecks in the sauce. The waitress apologized and said she would get the owner. But he/she was the one doing the cooking and never came to our table. We've eaten at MANY italian places from Boston to New Hampshire to New York. Never have we ever sent food back and left a restaurant without eating. Disappointing all around. Lucky for us we were in a plaza with a little pizza joint at the other end and we stopped in there to eat a meal instead.

Rufina's is a fantastic seafood restaurant because of the low prices and high quality of their seafood. People working there are warm and inviting. Having said that, the cocktails aren't worth the price. Great spot to dine even now!

Excellent food and service every time! Catherine works at THE best bar. She not only gives great service, but she also remembers your favorite foods after just one visit! They have way too many great meals to list them all. This is the place to go for a great night out with great food and service!

Loved the food! The prices are reasonable. The staff was friendly and attentive. We didn't have to wait long, even for a Friday night. We're big foodies. This is our new favorite restaurant.

It should be so much better. My wife didn't eat her bolognese. That should have been obvious, but it wasn't mentioned. Nobody asked. I only ate half of my saltimbocca. The meatball appetizer was fine. Staff talks to you from 20 feet away across the tables of other patrons. At least there's an attempt at nice-casual but it falls woefully short.

Old school Italian in a cozy setting. The bread is a wonderful start to the meal. House made Italian dressing that's the perfect mix of zesty and flavorful and some of the best lava cakes I've had.
Nice atmosphere. Excellent food. No wait. Staff was thin. No follow up on service.

Locals are Favorited, Take Out Customers Should Be Treated as the Customer Dining In, Unfortunately Customers are Not. I Have Walked Out Because of Lack of Customer Service Being a Customer of Take Out. Great Food But It Starts with Being Treated Respectablet and Noticed...Been Watching the Behavior here for Some time Thinking its Just a Tough Day but Its All The Time and I Really Don't Feel Welcomed...Unfortunately I Am No Longer a Customer at Rufinas.
