Rufina's

We had an amazing meal here with a group of 8. I had chicken piccata which was great, others had chicken parm, veal piccata and pasta. The appetizers were delicious-we had calamari, which was not fried and the beet salad. The bruschetta was also fantastic. For dessert we had lava cake, our favorite, and tiramisu, so good! The bread they served was also amazing, I think focaccia, and someone told me they make it in house. Staff was so friendly and helpful too and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun.

Wonderful ambience , Delicious Italian food and friendly staff . Their dessert is to die for and they have many varieties of drinks also. Our go to place for Italian good is north end in Boston but this place is definitely giving a high competition to all the Italian restaurant in Boston . Top notch food , clean ambience , feeling of fine dine environment. I highly highly recommend this place to all the Italian food lovers . Can’t wait to come back again and enjoy meal with my fav boys !!

First time we have visited Rufina's. The girls like to eat out and we look forward to trying new places.

It seemed undercooked or maybe its meant to be REALLY dense/heavy?). She was sure to mention that there was a 'huge' party in the back area (we saw maybe 10 people), who took more time and attention to serve, understandably. We waited probably about 30-40 min. for a drink from the bar. We waited more than an hour for our food. We took our firs

Who is rating this place? I don’t want to sink a restaurant but this was awful. The food is bland at best. The service was rushed and hostile. The ambiance is severely lacking. I got the fig salad to start. I enjoyed the candied nuts but the feta came from a pre-crumbled package and had no flavor. Then I got the veal saltimbocca. I’m not sure there was actually any sage. The sauce was so flavorless that the pasta just tasted like buttered noodles. I left them all behind. At one point my son interrupted my wife as she was ordering and the waitress yelled at her. Our friend who was eight months pregnant made a joke about having a drink and the waitress brought it to her even though she clearly said she was just kidding. The wine list is awful. The cocktails aren’t good. The only reason n

Cozy and casual mom and pop style Italian restaurant in small strip mall near the Chelmsford-Carlisle line. Daily specials in addition to all the Italian favorites. Friendly service. Popular for take out, too. Ample parking in a shared lot. Recommended.
