Ruffino's Pizza & Pasta

Cheese is used in copious, gooey quantities here and it is SO divine! They have some of the yummiest pasta in Northland that will see you transported to carb-laden fantasies of Europe. There restaurant is spacious and good for big groups as they have movable chairs/tables and you’ll love the fairy lights at night.

Everyone needs a gourmet go-to when it comes to their local pizza joint. I highly recommend you hit up the excellent pizza cuisine at Ruffino’s. Their pizzas are absolutely laden with toppings (just the way I like them) you’ll walks away with mountains of dripping cheese, piles of prosciutto and tonnes of tomatoes on your perfect pizza. You can even make up your own pizza if you want complete creative control - give it a go!

Pizza Pasta Ruffino is literally a hidden gem with its discreet location, friendly service and of course, mouthwateringly good food. Follow your nose up a staircase to find this local hotspot and some of the best pizza in the Bay of Islands.
