Ruffino's - South Stradbroke Island

We discovered this restaurant using a Groupon voucher and we couldn't have been more pleased. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. They made us feel at ease and relaxed. I highly recommend it.

We have been to this restaurant on a number of occasions before. Unfortunately it now lacks the genuine italian restaurant that we came to love and expect. The food is OK but it took a long time for our meals to come.The service was pleasant but it was not "italian". Unfortunately, this is just another pizza and pasta place with no atmosphere.Only a pass mark ...

Five of us there on Saturday night. Had between one & three courses each. All menu choices were different and each was truly scrumptious. Attentive & friendly staff. We all LOVED the food - (and we can be fussy)! Thank you Ruffino's. Hope to be back soon.

We used to look forward to eating at this restaurant however our favourite dish seems to have been removed from the menu, and on the last visit we ordered two serves of the special only to be told some minutes later that there was one serve left - at 7.30pm on a Saturday. We took the one serve which was tasty but my non-special aubergine dish was expensive for the small size and nothing much in it apart from a tomato-type sauce. The side vegetables are not very interesting either. We've decided we won't be returning here in the near future. Too many other good restaurants around the area!

When first question asked is are you on a voucher put us off straight awayStaff friendly though lack experience in waitressing and knowledge of the menuThis Restaurant has had a very high reputation with previous owners No supervision of staff and no passion Had to wait over an hour from entre to receiving mains Standard of food has dropped considerably When wanting to pay was asked to sit back down as machine was busy on table Guys train your staff and have a person who takes care of your business looking after guest before they all disappear
