Rufina's,

170 Concord Rd, Chelmsford, MA 01824, United States

"Food is consistently good. We have had the same server during our last two visits. Very inattentive, almost rude. We politely requested water, 3/4 through our meal, she looked at us we had asked her fly to Italy for a special bottle of wine. She never once returned to the table to ask if we needed anything. It was not busy and they were not short staffed. It was enough for us to decide that we need not return."

"The best Italian restaurant around the food is great.. it’s hard to order off the menu when the specials are always so delicious. The drinks the almond joy martini is the best…"

"I’ve been driving past Rufina’s for months, always intrigued by the full parking lot so early on Friday evenings. I finally got the chance to stop in yesterday and was certainly delighted! The hostess seated my 3 girls and I quickly, while reassuring that the white table cloths didn’t mean that kids were not welcome. The menu is extensive: all of our family’s favorite dishes plus a whole lot more. The girls were so happy with the dessert list. We landed on angel hair pasta with marinara and meatball, ziti broccoli with chicken, and piccata with shrimp and mushrooms. For dessert in house made cheesecake with strawberries! The service was great too- we had drinks right away and the server got dinner orders in promptly (super important with kiddos). The food wasn’t brought super quickly but a trip to the bathroom and a couple minutes buffer with cell phone videos did the trick. Along the way, we asked for extra silverware which were brought right away and we had a major drink spill, which they helped contain and remediate quickly (complete with a new wheats table cloth). The prices were comfortable and the quality was great. The only thing that was a bit strange for our young crew was the noise level- it was super quiet when we first arrived around 5:45/6. I had to keep reminding the girls of the quiet voices that were needed."

"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 !!"

"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."
