Ruffino's - South Stradbroke Island

I agree with the previous review. The vegetables were not up to par and the veal was dry.

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.

What a dining treasure-True Italian Style! We were pleasantly greeted and shown to our table. The menu explained,we were left for a few minutes to decide what desires awaited us. After settling on the meatballs and pasta,we enjoyed a delicous garlic bread entree. After sharing the meatballs delight we decided to have the Tiramisu which was made by the chef on site. What an Awesome meal and delightful intimate atmosphere. Well Done! 120/100. Very pleasant Atmosphere and awesome staff. We will definitely be back.

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
