Ruffino's on the River

Ruffino's on the River Where Louisiana Comes to Celebrate Life. At Ruffino’s the goal is always the same – to ensure every experience there is nothing short of remarkable.
(2971)

Ruffin Rodrigue founded Ruffino's in 1998 with the understanding that he wanted to create a place where people could come to Celebrate Life. Today, his wife Alison continues his legacy and vision, with Megan Klock serving as Ruffino's CEO and Reid Henderson as Executive Chef. Ruffino’s features a wood-burning pizza stove, a temperature-controlled wine cellar with over 2,500 different varietals of

wine, a private party room, and an enclosed deck with amazing views of the Vermillion River. 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.”

With locations in Baton Rouge and Lafayette, Ruffino’s is a Steak, Seafood, and Italian-inspired restaurant that focuses on the Celebration of Life, regardless of the occasion. In addition, Ruffino’s De La Ronde Hall, located in Downtown Baton Rouge, can accommodate up to 500 guests in their recently renovated Grand Ball Room.

Guys' night has very few rules.

Pick a place with great food. Order something worth talking about. Don't let the first round be the last.

Everything else tends to figure itself out.

You don't fall in love because of the restaurant.

But it helps when the lights are low. The wine is good. And neither of you is checking the time.

That's the kind of night we're here for.

Things we see every night at Ruffino's:
• The couple who says they're just grabbing dinner...and is still sitting there two hours later.
• The friends who order one appetizer for the table...and immediately order another.
• The guest who says "I don't really want dessert"...and somehow ends up with a spoon in the cheesecake.

We've learned that the best nights are rarely the ones you rush through. Make plans to stay a while.
