Ruffino’s Pasta Grill

My son spotted Ruffino's while we were on our way to Lake Ontario's shoreline. We do not regret his eagle eye. The restaurant smells so good with their wood-fired oven. The food was delicious. I have see other comments about the calamari, and no it was not fresh. But the entrees we ordered seemed to be undeniable. My son kept it simple with spaghetti. My husband and I both had two different pizzas, both of them tasted as good as the restaurant smelt. The staff was very polite, professional and quick.

Well not sure where to start, first the waitress was great but the food was absolutely horrible. We got calamari that was out of a bag but they say was made from scratch Then we order pasta that was supposed to be 2 for one and wasn’t We ordered meat sauce with pasta ….absolutely horrible and no taste was more like hamburger helper and the meal was over $350.00 and we couldn’t even finish it When you say in your menu just like Nona’s…..WELL IT WASN'T AT ALL Will never go back ! Oh and it was for my birthday ….so disappointing

What a great experience. We went early to avoid the rush, and I was just going to have a quick dinner. Hard to do with so many choices. With so many choices we went tapas style. We started with some PEI oysters, followed by Burrata and the grilled Octopus. The octopus was very tender and the tomatillo chutney was a first for me. The third course was the Branzino, Cacio E Pepe and the grilled Ceasar salad. Needless to say we didn't have any room for desert. I want to add that our server helped pick a beautiful wine to pair with our dinner. What a treat, you made my week. Thank you

We were really pleased with our experience at Ruffino’s. We came for a birthday dinner and found the value and service was great. Our server Laura was very personable and helped us with recommendations as was the gentleman who opened our bottle of cava (without a pop thank you! . We found the mid week pasta/pizza special made for a pretty reasonably priced meal and hope to return next time we’re in NOTL.

This place is our go-to restaurant when we visit Niagara. we enjoyed everything we ordered. my personal favourite was Ragu pasta (however i think i had a different type of spaghetti when i first tried in 2022 which was more delicious
