Since 1998, Ruffino’s has brought people together over Italian classics, Gulf seafood and the kind of hospitality that makes a meal feel like a celebration. Founded by former LSU football player Ruffin Rodrigue, the restaurant continues his vision under the leadership of his wife, Alison Rodrigue.

The menu blends familiar Italian favorites with creative touches. Start with smoked tomato butter oysters or curry leaf-crusted tuna before moving on to dishes like veal osso buco with saffron polenta, veal Marsala with fresh herbs and blue crab gnocchi with pancetta beurre blanc. Ruffino’s Bolognese combines ground lamb, ribeye, filet and pancetta with rigatoni and mint gremolata.

The cocktail menu adds another reason to linger, with options like the Bubble Bath and Espresso Martini. Whether gathering for a special occasion or simply enjoying dinner out, Ruffino’s makes every visit feel memorable.
