Ruffino Pizza Restaurant

Such sweet waitresses you have, they were so helpful ans trying to speak with us english as much as they can, i suggest it, food was okay

We had our last meal in Vienna here and what a way to go! The food was delicious and the service was great (although, in our American-ness, we still haven't quite worked out how to signal to the waiter that we're ready for the check without being rude, so we sat there for a good 20-30 minutes trying to shyly catch the eye of our waiter). We started with the Bruschetta -- it was lovely!

My husband got the funghi pizza and added spinach -- it was really delicious and really good portion without being too big.

I ordered something off the daily menu, so I knew I was getting spaghetti with some kind of mushroom cream sauce. I'm still not 100% on what kind of mushrooms they were, but I don't even care...it had such a wonderful flavor, I shamelessly ate every last bite. The only thing that could have made it better was a piece of bread to get all the sauce!

Uodated (2023): we returned 4 years later and it was JUST as delicious as we remembered and hoped. The service was slower but there was a large group inside and we were the only people sitting outside. Portion sizes are more than fair for the price and quality. Again, I'm not sure why this place has bad reviews!! I will say, I think the key is to go on an offnight or just off the normal peak hours...we went on a rainy Saturday at 9 pm and then went back on Tuesday at 5. Whatever. I will always happily come back here while in Vienna. It's a staple requirement of any visit.

Original (2019): I'm not AT ALL sure why this place only has mediocre reviews. I'm a fairly well traveled person, having had fantastic meals in Athens, Rome, Salzburg, Munich, Kufstein, London, Portsmouth, multiple locations in Vienna, and in most of the major US cities. Also, I'm Italian. This was THE BEST PASTA I've had in my life, including the little mom/pop hole in the wall I found in Rome with the stellar sage-brown butter gorgonzola gnocchi. Our waitress was lovely, our service was relaxed (as in most European restaurants...they're paid on good salary and receive benefits so they're not in a hurry to rack up tips, but the expectation is for you to enjoy your relaxed dinner), and the food was absolutely delicious. A bit off the tourist track but worth the walk, and easily accessible via the 2 tram back to inner city if, like us, you feel too stuffed to waddle back after two bowls of pasta and four drinks (35 euro total). Just go here and be prepared to sit outside at night and enjoy a laid back, solid, hit the spot Italian meal.

Consistently good food and service. The pasta my wife had today was really well prepared and I enjoyed a portion of roasted chanterelle with bacon. We also order regularly pizza delivery, always good.

Very good restaurant with great waitresses and food, I ate here 2 times and everytime I really enjoyed the food and the vibes.
Will recommend it to everyone and comeback for sure, thanks!

Great place. Unfortunately the pizzas are not as large anymore as they were in the past, but the quality is still top

Nice and friendly staff, they have very delicious pizza, I wholeheartedly recommend it

I liked everything here! From the people to the interior design and the delicious food everything led to a very pleasant experience. I’d definitely recommend it!

Great food, music, people. I’ve had such a great time here!! It’s a hidden gem for tourists, because it’s small and hospitably.

Probably one of the best Pizza in Vienna. Price is moderate while the service is above average. Cozy place, I definitely recommend!

Al Capone pizza was yummy. Would go back for another pizza. They also do take away. Other Italian food items available

Excellent and genuine Italian cuisine . Very reasonable prices. Very good service .

One of the best Italian places in town. Great for lunch, dinner, and a meal in-between. Friendly and quick service. Should return there more often!

Great Restaurant. We popped in for a quick pizza and weren't disappointed

Best pizza in the area and I think in Costa del Sol :) strongly recommended!

Quick service and friendly staff. The fish soup is sooooo good!!!

Super lecker Pizza 🍕 Siciliano mit anchovies. Fast and very friendly service. Pizza was hot and very freshly made. Crust was perfect 👌

Unsophisticated pizza in a cozy relaxed atmosphere, regular austrian dishes. It's been an unchanged good quality for yeas.
