About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for business meals
Ruffino's -Steak-Seafood-Italian restaurant is an experience in food and atmosphere like no others. From the time you walk in and see the wood-burning stove aflame to the beautiful smiles on every Ruffino's team member's face, you will have goosebumps on the back of your neck for the dining journey that awaits you. From our wonderful signature Crabmeat Cheesecake appetizer to our mind blowing Cedar Plank-baked Catch or our mouth watering Prime cut steaks, the menu is diverse for everyone. The relaxed but swinging music along with perfect lighting and energy make this the ultimate restaurant in Louisiana. It's where Louisiana Comes to Celebrate Life!

    From the moment we sat down until we ended our meal, it was absolutely incredible. Hands down, Steve, our waiter, was exceptional! Tonight's menu featured a new item, and that veal chop almost melted in my mouth. I can't say enough about this restaurant.
