Rufino's Italian Restaurant

I had high hopes for this place. Was hungry after a long days work, and wanted something warm in my stomach. "A lasagna and gnocchi sounds good", I thought to myself. I unfortunately was wrong. I don't really like to give poor star reviews, but I had to for this one. I feel like I would have been better off with a Stouffer's frozen lasagna. I don't know how it's possible, but it literally had NO flavor. I was shocked, I had to eat something else to verify that I didn't loose my sense of taste and smell with possible corona. I still had them. It was almost like in a marinara soup (I did take out, and as you can see from my photo). The gnocchi, however, had flavor. Man oh man though was it swimming in this oily, pesto sauce that was just too strong for me. The sausage and potato dumplings were good, but it was just DROWNED in sauce, even more than the Pesto.

The best Italian food I have had ever here in Anaheim so far. Everything from their Garlic bread to their fresh made pizza is amazing. I usually get chicken parm and Spaghetti with Meatballs. Hubby gets lasagna and we always have enough to share and take home. Their serving size is good for their price.

Very very good food employees are very nice. Honestly wish I lived closer I would eat here every week. Authentic Italian food. I give it a 10plus
