Ruffino's - Old Saybrook

Was know as Stella Dora and is now Ruffino's

Their food is GREAT!! I especially like their Gnoccchi, Eggplant Parmesan
And their bread w/ dip is fantastic...

    I actually agree although I think they're in big trouble. We were the only ones in the dining room the last three times we were there. Food is quite good. Classic red sauce Italian done very well. I loved the shrimp scampi! Good service, reasonable prices. Hope they can turn it around.

      My wife and I go there at least once a week, She is a vegetarian and thinks their eggplant is the best in the state. We ordered a tray of eggplant parmesan for our xmas party w family and everyone loved it!

      I think their web site prices might scare people away http://ruffinosoldsaybrook.com/
      But their food is great and they have $9,99 specials during the week which includes salad .. a great deal!

      We hope they stay around!
