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!

    Went for my wife’s birthday and was very satisfied with our experience. Top 2-3 best places I’ve been in terms of best tasting food and the best when you compare quality to cost. My wife and I both had multiple drinks, both got appetizers, soups, meals, and both got desserts and we stayed under $200. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!!!

    Awesome food and excellent service. The filet was very tasty and my wife loved the fish Katie. Ambiance was very nice as well. Ruffino’s and Manager Shelley Melancon were outstanding as always.

    We celebrated my mom and my birthday for the 2nd yr in a row. We love the jazz music playing in the background and the service is always perfect. We tried a cauliflower appetizer that was delicious as was the brunch menu.
