WineWhat do you get when you combine the talents of a former LSU lineman and a New Orleans-born Italian chef? The energy, passion and creativity that has produced the area’s only Italian-Creole fusion restaurant, which has literally raised the bar for Baton Rouge dining.

Partners Ruffin Rodrique and Peter Sclafani proudly serve a wide range of delicious Italian dishes, plus phenomenal steaks, chicken and seafood, all with a Creole flair. In fact, when it comes to seafood, nobody does fish better in Baton Rouge. As executive chef, Sclafani excels in unique preparations of veal, fish and pork and is famous for taking traditional New Orleans sauces to “another level.” You’ll find South Louisiana’s rich tradition and diversity of food styles explored in our menu staples as well as our never-ending array of dazzling specials. Authenticity is paramount to our chefs, which is why we take such care in the details. During the season, we often drive to New Orleans to select the choicest Creole Tomatoes for our sauces and Cedar Plank Redfish. We use a local farmer in Ponchatoula who grows mayhaws for our signature salads and you’ll always find Southern favorites like Vidalia Onions in a variety of our dishes. It’s the care, quality and attention to the finer points like these that helps Ruffino’s rise above the rest.

In addition to an outstanding meal, Ruffino’s proudly offers our guests an extensive wine cellar featuring a variety of rare vintages and great values. Few places in the city have achieved the perfect balance between elegance and energy that you’ll experience at Ruffino’s. So whether you’re near our lively bar, within view of our famous wood-burning oven, or enjoying an intimate meal for two, the mood is always perfect. If you’re looking to hold a special gathering, we also host banquets and private parties from 25 to 150. And the service at Ruffino’s…always impeccable.

Our restaurant is successful because we simply enjoy making people happy and love watching them get excited about their meal. However, the only way to do that is to combine the finest, highest quality ingredients with a unique approach to traditional dishes that yields consistently exceptional food from one end of the menu to the other. If you’ve never experienced Ruffino’s Italian-Creole fusion, you’re missing something special. Please, join us soon, so next time we can say, “Welcome back.”
