User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsMy family and I are from Colorado and were lucky enough to ask the front desk of our hotel for a good Italian restaurant little did I know they sent me to a great Italian restaurant. That was last year 08 this is such a great restaurant that we will be vacationing there again this year and the restaurant was one of the biggest factors in wanting to go back again. I would give it 10 stars, its a must eat at restaurant. The pizza is wonderful, and the chicken parm is even better. I loved the little Italian lady that took care of us the three times we went there she made me wish I was Italian and lived there. This is one of those restaurants that if you lived there you would go to every Friday night.

This place is very questionable. I went here about a year ago after following the decent reviews I had found. I now think that their reviews might be padded by employees because something is not right about this place.
First sign of trouble was when there was no one in the place,
including waiters. We waited a bit to be seated in the empty place and asked for a high chair. Their idea of a high chair was an old one from the 80's I would assume. It was caked on with food. My daughter who we now know has many life threatening allergies sat in that seat and we can only imagine what we dropped her into. Luckily nothing happened.
We presented a coupon and they quickly turned it down. I cannot recall the reason given but regardless it was not valid they said even thought it was from the entertainment book website. The food was fair but I question how sanitary it was.
It appears that this place is definitely family run which normally I would really enjoy but this place just does not seem to do it right. The son and mother that we dealt with were a bit rude.
To wrap up the day, a table full of pure italian men came in and just stared at my wife. We made it out alive and did not get sick but we will certainly not be heading back and my wife will certainly not ever let me live this restaurant choice down. Lesson learned.

Hey all... No disrespect intended to the author of this review, but I believe it's a bit dramatic and unnecessarily critical. Rufino's is a longtime favorite of the Anaheim community, and especially the Cast Members of the Disneyland Resort who can be found there at lunchtime on almost any given day. You will seldom fine a more perfect combination of quality, authentic, Italian food and reasonable pricing anywhere. I highly recommend Rufino's! Try the any pasta "a la caruso"... a great sauce! The calzones are amazing, the bread (w/ oil and vinegar, of course) are fantastic. If you're wanting to be pawed all over like servers at T.G.I.Friday's, then you might be a little too fragile for this charming, hole-in-the-wall, Italian family restaurant. For the rest of us, Rufinos will never fail to satisfy. Enjoy!
"My daughter who we now know has many life threatening allergies sat in that seat and we can only imagine what we dropped her into. Luckily nothing happened."-- so you risked your daughter's life for some food? Total B.S. review.
I concur with Mark & Matthew! Great prices, great service, great food. We get the pizza every Friday night... so much better than the chain stores (and very inexpensive!)
