Featuring an old Italian feel, Ruffino’s features a wood-burning pizza stove, a temperature-controlled wine cellar with over 2,500 different varietals of wine, and three rooms for private parties and special events. According to Megan Klock, Ruffino’s CEO, “We are so proud to have played a part in so many celebrations over the years and look forward to continuing Ruffin’s vision of being the place where Louisiana comes to Celebrate Life.”

Some reviews are about the food. Others are about how you felt while you were here.

When Bobbye’s 5-year-old fell asleep on the way to dinner, our team found them a comfortable booth. Our bartender even brought over her own child’s blanket to keep her warm while Mom and Dad enjoyed their Bolognese and blue crab gnocchi.

That’s not on the menu. That’s just Ruffino’s.

Bobbye, we can’t wait to welcome your family back.

It’s September. Which means we’re officially getting close to the kickoff of holiday season.

Soon, the calendar fills up. The group chats get busy. And “we should all get together” becomes “when is everyone free?”

Get ahead of it. Start planning the holiday dinners, parties and celebrations now, before the best dates disappear.

Gather your people. We’ll make it remarkable.

Brunch plans? Now you have them.

Sleep in. Show up hungry. Order the cocktail before you look at the menu. Get something for the table. Then get something else.

Because brunch isn’t breakfast. And it definitely isn’t lunch.

It’s an excuse to spend a little more time around the table. We’re good with that.

View our full brunch menu and reserve your table at ruffinosrestaurant.com.

"One drink" is never one drink. Somebody gets a story going, somebody orders the next round, and suddenly it's the best Thursday in recent memory.

We built the deal for exactly that: half-price Bubble Bath cocktails and half-price 1792 Old Fashioneds, all night. Not until 6. Not until the specials run out. All night.

There's a reason Italian meals are meant to be shared. They slow you down. They bring people together. They remind you that great food is about more than what's on the plate.

Join us this October for an evening inspired by those traditions. Enjoy chef-led demonstrations, thoughtfully paired wines, authentic Italian flavors, and recipes to take home.

Today, the table feels a little quieter.

We remember those we lost. We honor those who ran toward danger. And we hold close the stories of courage, sacrifice and humanity that followed.

September 11, 2001. Always remembered.
