My husband and I ate here out of pure curiosity. We were in the mood for Italian food but are sick of olive gardens terrible pricing and customer service. We’ve tried other places as well but the food and customer service haven’t compared to Rufino’s Italian Restaurant. From the beginning the manager Mike greeted us with open arms. And not to mention the restaurant felt so homey. The night we went it wasn’t packed or loud. It was a cute romantic spot. Our server Jasmine was sweet from the beginning to end. The service was quick. I’m so use to waiting for maybe an hour for our food to finally get to us at the local Olive Garden. Here we waited maybe 20ish minutes and our food was hot and fresh. My husband had lasagna which is to die for. It’s perfectly seasoned and super melt cheese. The portion was great. I had the spaghetti Sicilian that comes with zucchini’s and eggplants. It was absolutely delicious. Each entre comes with a choice of a salad or soup. Based on the food and customer service I would hands down recommend to check this cute place out. Definitely better than Olive Garden

I had high hopes for this place. Was hungry after a long days work, and wanted something warm in my stomach. "A lasagna and gnocchi sounds good", I thought to myself. I unfortunately was wrong. I don't really like to give poor star reviews, but I had to for this one. I feel like I would have been better off with a Stouffer's frozen lasagna. I don't know how it's possible, but it literally had NO flavor. I was shocked, I had to eat something else to verify that I didn't loose my sense of taste and smell with possible corona. I still had them. It was almost like in a marinara soup (I did take out, and as you can see from my photo). The gnocchi, however, had flavor. Man oh man though was it swimming in this oily, pesto sauce that was just too strong for me. The sausage and potato dumplings were good, but it was just DROWNED in sauce, even more than the Pesto. Maybe I should have asked for the houses signature dish, and like I said maybe that day was not a good day. I thought for sure with all the plaques with positive certifications in them would have been evident enough that I was going to have delicious Italian cuisine. If you can, change my mind. Until then, I'll carry on and look elsewhere when I'm craving Italian food. -B.P.

I called in a phone order of 2 spaghetti and meatballs (all beef) $12.99, 2 lasagna $12.99, 2 orders of cheese bread and one fried calamari $8.99. In total with tip, it was$90. All this food was ready in about 20 min. Didn't know what to expect when I pulled up to the joint because it's located in an unassuming strip mall. Once you step into the door there is a pick up window to the right adjacent to the menu. I tried to get this home ASAP because personally, Italian food tastes best when it's piping hot. These flavors did not disappoint and the portions were enough to feed more than the 4 of us. In fact we had enough leftover for the following day. The only negative thing ( if this is even a negative thing or a personal thing) is that like LOTS OF MARINARA SAUCE with my spaghetti and this order did my coffee return it. Maybe next time I'll order extra sauce. But check this place out. Service was quick, but due to Covid, so far it's take out. Don't know if they're thinking about outside dining, but I think that would be a good idea for them. There's plenty of parking here too.

Service was excellent. Our server Adam, was awesome and attentive. Unfortunately, my chicken wasn’t cooked through all the way and I couldn’t really eat it. The flavor of our food was very good though. They also did take it off the bill but still disappointed. I hope they can be better about the in the future. My husband’s food was cooked right though!

Cozy family-style Italian bistro. Loved the immersive atmosphere and extensive menu. The Funghi alla Giorgio, Pollo Michaelangelo, and the Minestrone Soup were all layered with delicious flavors that danced across my taste buds.

Absolutely delicious. Nice and quiet. Friendly service. We are from out of state and this was a great find.

My family and I decided to come here before going to Downtown Disney, and boy are we glad! The food was absolutely amazing. From the bread to the minestrone, to the ravioli; everything was flavorful and exquisite. We are so glad to have found this little hole in the wall. This isn’t some chain restaurant where they’re only concerned with how many seats they fill; you can tell this was someone’s dream once. They care about you and your experience dinning there, and the quality of service and food shows. The prices were also incredible considering the cost of most other places nowadays. I won’t lie, it’s a bit vintage, but come with your mind and your mouth open, and you won’t be disappointed.

What a great Italian place! Came here first night of our Disney vacation and loved everything, especially the lasagna. Great calamari and pizza also. Really nice people!

My daughter and I had the pleasure of dining at a great Italian restaurant owned by a family. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made us feel at home. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff that went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. They have an extensive selection of Italian dishes, all cooked to perfection. The flavor combinations were delicious, and each dish had its own unique flavor. The prices were very reasonable, and we felt like we had great value for the money. We would highly recommend this family-owned Italian restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. We look forward to visiting again soon!

The food at Rufinos was outstanding, especially their homemade pasta dishes. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff made the dining experience even better especially from Rose. It's definitely a must-visit spot for Italian cuisine lovers like us! Don’t forgot to order the the Italian spumoni ice cream for dessert it is a must!

Fantastic place for a meal with great hospitality! Had the lasagna which was amazing. My daughter had a Calzone which was gigantic and my son had Fettuccine Alfredo (delicious). My server (I think the owner) was so welcoming and suggested a perfect wine pairing for dinner. If I'm ever back in the area, this will be a must stop!

I've been coming here for years! The food is delicious 😋 very authentic Italian food, bread sticks they give u is so good I always ask for an extra basket!! The owners are lovely

We have been to Bottega Angelina, The White House and so many others all I can say what a waste of time and money! This place is Authentic Italian food, service was amazing and oh my gosh I can't say enough how delicious the food was!! Beautiful cozy restaurant. We ordered the pizza, shrimp alfredo and spaghetti bolognese. You won't want to go anywhere else!

Absolutely consistent quality and deliciousness! I haven’t found one thing on the menu I haven’t liked yet. The owner is very kind and truly cares about his customers a simply must try!

My fiance and I have been coming here for years. It's a great cozy little Italian place. I usually get the eggplant parm and my fiance gets chicken fettuccine. Bread is fantastic. Great customer service. We love this place. An absolute must try if you're in the area.

Food was absolutely amazing and the staff was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend eating here with your family.

Met a friend in from out or town and neither of us wanted a chain restaurant. We found this place via a Google search around the Anaheim area. Not much to look at outside but cute inside very good service great prices the food was all delicious. Everything is house made, including the desserts. Would highly recommend this place, if looking for solid Italian food at a reasonable price that is not some god-awful chain.

We had a wonderful experience. This is a cozy, comfort food, quiet place to enjoy a relaxed meal. I had the tortellini and my wife had the gnocchi pesto. Both were delicious.

The place has really the italian ambience and the food is decently good, friendly service. Not crowded and quiet. The women's bathroom was well stocked but not maintained, I mean, being a slow business day they can make time to keep it clean. But the service is nice: I asked for iced coffee which is not even part of the menu and they made it for me. I recommend to give this place a try.

love their bread sticks but servers were being a bit rude at the beginning.. my soda & my cousins was super flat, we were scared to tell the lady cuz she was just yelling & demanding us to order or not need anything lmao.. but then at the end was actually nice to us 💁

Very very good food employees are very nice. Honestly wish I lived closer I would eat here every week. Authentic Italian food. I give it a 10plus

The best Italian food I have had ever here in Anaheim so far. Everything from their Garlic bread to their fresh made pizza is amazing. I usually get chicken parm and Spaghetti with Meatballs. Hubby gets lasagna and we always have enough to share and take home. Their serving size is good for their price.

This place was awesome! The prices were great and the food was delicious. I tried everyone's dish at our table and everything was unique and devine. My mother in law had a white cream chicken broccoli dish which was the best one out of all of them. Every sauce is homemade and their menu is extensive. Wine with meal was smooth. I highly recommend. Good thing I don't live in Anaheim, I'd be eating here all the time!

Our first time there and we had high expectations. I had the trio, which was fettuccine alfredo, lasagna, and chicken parmesan. I have to admit I expected a much larger portion considering the price point. The chicken was maybe a quarter inch thick including the breading. Most of the taste was the bread and cheese. The lasagna was okay, but nothing extraordinary. The fettuccine alfredo was gummy, for lack of a better way of describing it. There was not much of a flavor to it. My husband has spaghetti and meatballs. The spaghetti seemed just about as gummy as the fettuccine. The meatballs were not too bad. I like the more than he did. We both liked the bread that came with the meal and we ordered some cheese bread as well. The cheese bread was good. The server was polite but not very attentive even though I believe we were the only two in the restaurant at the time. We never got our drinks refilled. At the end of the meal, we sat there waiting for him to present the check but had to ask for it along with two boxes to take some food home. If they had a dessert menu, we did not see it. I hope at some point they will be able to remodel the bathrooms. Overall, It was not a bad meal. But, for the price of the meals and the size of the portions, I am not sure if we will be back again.
