Ruvo East - PORT JEFFERSON

The food from Ruvo is always consistently awesome!!!

This was the worst meal ever. To start we ordered two appetizers the Prosciutto Di Parma flatbread and the Ruvo Cesar the flatbread dish was way way too salty, the gorgonzola cheese so ripe it overpowered the teeny bit of ham and the arugula on top was completely limp all presented on the wettest piece of flatbread ever. Inedible. The Cesar was bland but at least fresh enough. The rigatoni Rigatoni Alla Vodka was so overcooked, when you picked it up with a fork, it fell apart. It was hard to judge the Vodka Sauce for flavor, because there was virtually none on the pasta. The Chicken Parm was in a completely different category of awfulness, overly plumped chicken breasts with no chicken flavor and a weird chemical ly aftertaste (what was it? One could only hope it was errant dish soap). We both brushed our teeth afterwards to get rid of the taste. The only goodish dish: the side of spaghetti in a piquant, red peppery red sauce. We have ordered several times from this restaurant and it's always been good. This was atrocious.

Eaten at the restaurant several times in person and orderd through door dash at times as well previously. tonight, chick parm was not good and spaghetti had strong garlic odor and taste and no bread .. not cheap either.. other place nearby in east setauket which I've had was better and cheaper .

I always get the flounder and wild rice, it's always fresh. Also when I order it through door dash! I miss the banana strawberry short cake!

The Caesar salad had whole anchovies in the salad...gross and soooo fishy
