First time here and we decided to try more dishes. Atmosphere and service is good, but the food is just alright for the prices here… we definitely have our favourite Italian place and this one didn’t make the cut with the food for us. The portions are a bit small.

Came here for lunch with a colleague on a weekday and were seated on the patio. I had the eggplant parmigiana sandwich lunch special while my colleague went with a salad. The portions were decent and I enjoyed the eggplant. When it came to paying the bill it came to over $50 with tip and tax just for the 2 dishes and water so it is on the pricier side. Only saw one server working the lunch crowd so service was a little slow as well.

Restaurant is essentially open air. When we went it was hot outside and inside was hotter due to the kitchen which made it a bit uncomfortable. We got seated at the open window wall which helped but not ideal. Food service was very fast with little to no breaks between courses. Depending on what you are looking for that may be good or bad. Caeser salad was mid. We had the veal parmigiana and I asked the spaghetti be switched to a carbonate sauce which was very good. Overall good. The gnocchi had a nice texture but the sauce could use a boost. The pizza was very good as well. The sangria was excellent and very large. Overall a nice experience and we would go back again although there are other places with similar fare so maybe when it is cooler out or if we can get an outside seat in the shade. Matter of preference. I would recommend.

My sister, friends, and I went for a Saturday night dinner to Casa Rugantino. The space is smaller than I expected, so the atmosphere is intimate with other diners. One of my friends had the mussels app and the table all remarked at how generous the serving was. I had the lasagne and was stuffed to the gills for the rest of the night! It was delicious. The service was excellent. Even though the servers were in each other’s way because of the close quarters of the space. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. She did a good job. I plan to return and I recommend Casa Rugantino for a nice meal out.
