Ruffinos

Located off Lakeview Ave in Malverne(border of Lynbook) is a little local (not so little) Italian place that , (next to its Pizzeria) that, after 6 trips there in 2 weeks warrants another posting.

The food is always fresh & cooked to order.

The last trip was with a large group of friends, so we were able to partake in any of the appetizer items that would be too much for just two.

The veal meatballs in a brown sauce were the most delicious little morsels I have every had! Moist, rich and just the perfect size as a starter and truly outstanding! As were the baked clans, clams casino, fresh mozz w/. tomatoes, which come in a large "hor d" type platter-family style.

The special change daily and always are the way to go, with special salads, appetizers, pastas, fish, meat, chicken & veal specials although the menu itself is vast and everything is wonderful!!!

The whole fish dishes are wonderful- fresh whole branzino, orado, snapper, etc. as were the Veal chops, the chicken dishes and the many many pastas. This place is worth the trip!!!
