Aruffo's Italian Cuisine

Wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Aruffo's on a busy Friday evening. Despite the crowd, the wait was short. From start to finish, the service was excellent our server was attentive without being intrusive. The food definitely lived up to expectations. My lasagne al forno was delicious. The flavorful layers of pasta, meat sauce, and gooey cheese were balanced just right. I'm putting this a very close second to my homemade lasagna. Cant believe I said that. Wife enjoyed one of the Frutti Di Mare dishes and she gave it two thumbs up. She lived in Sicily for a couple of years so I'm guessing it was very good. As we ate, the chatter and warmth surrounding us made me feel transported to a trattoria in Rome or Venice rather than a typical sterile American establishment. Good job. The affogato for dessert was exceptional. Best around. Not many places can make a great affogato, but Aruffo's got it right, its great. We also did the Bomboloni. Fresh little donuts, perfectly creamy, and the chocolate sauce. So simple, yet so good. Like little clouds of bliss. I washed it down with a tasty Milano mixed drink that was well made and a nice entry into walking around downtown Claremont. The enjoyable atmosphere and dedication to quality Italian cuisine made Aruffo's an ideal spot for our special evening. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty Italian meal.

This place has a beautiful atmosphere great for a date night located near quaint but lively downtown area. The food was delicious! I didn’t eat outside but from what I saw the outside dining area was just as wonderful as the inside.

Food is excellent and service is outstanding. Lobster ravioli is delicious, rib eye steak with pasta is Devine, meet is slow cooked and very tender. Save room for yummy dessert.
