Very homey Italian restaurant, with tasteful decor on the walls, ambient music, and dim (but not dark) lighting. Ordered calamari, which was not bad per say, but lacked any crunch- the sauces the accompanied it had little flavor, to the already, fairly bland, calamari.
Although I did not order the salad, I was told that the dressing was pretty good. The salmon bisque was also just okay- nothing really stood out about it.
The sourdough garlic bread is absolutely delicious (though a pain to cut into neatly!). Lasagne and gnocchi dishes were both equally flavorful. Not pictured was the tiramisu with the delicious mascarpone, which is enough to share amongst two.
Although not something that can be entirely controlled for, it can get a bit loud inside from the other patrons.

Aruffo’s in Claremont is truly a gem for anyone who loves authentic Italian food and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The moment you walk in, you can feel the charm of the place. The lighting, music, and decor all come together perfectly to create a cozy yet elegant dining experience. The staff are just as wonderful—attentive, welcoming, and genuinely happy to make your meal special.
I brought my mother here for lunch, and from start to finish, everything was outstanding. I had been craving a hearty Bolognese, and Aruffo’s absolutely nailed it. The sauce was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. My mother ordered the lobster and tiger prawn ravioli in a smooth cognac cream sauce, and it was honestly one of the best pasta dishes we’ve ever tasted. We also shared the ricotta bruschetta, which was light, creamy, and full of fresh flavor.
Our server, Jacob, made the experience even better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave great recommendations. My mother enjoyed a chocolate cappuccino while I treated myself to a Manhattan that was mixed flawlessly. Just when we thought the meal couldn’t get any better, Jacob brought out the dessert tray, and every single option looked amazing. We finally decided on the chocolate crème brûlée topped with fresh mint and juicy blackberries—it was heavenly.
We left completely satisfied and already talking about our next visit. My mother even called her friends on the way home to tell them about how wonderful everything was. Aruffo’s delivers exceptional food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere that makes every visit feel special. If you’re looking for top-notch Italian cuisine in a charming setting, this is the place to go. Highly recommended and well deserving of every star!

Aruffo’s Italian Cuisine is truly delicious !!!
Make sure you order their Tuacana pizza, crispy prosciutto / wild mushroom / red pepper / mozarella on top of pesto sauce, then covered by think layer of arugula, OMG, one of the best pizza I’ve ever had!! Their meat balls is also recommended.
One thing worth mentioning is that there’s many classic Italian posters on the wall, makes the entire restaurant very tasteful.

The back patio is intimate, the cocktails creative, and the food, especially the house garlic pane, is rich!
Julian provided nearly impeccable service. We did have to refill our own wine, but that was no big deal. Try the ARGIANO red.

Lunch at @aruffos
Italian Cuisine yesterday.
While my lunch looked beautiful, there were a few issues with quality.
My grilled artichoke heart appetizer was great, no complaints there. You can never go wrong with goat cheese, in my opinion. However, my colossal shrimp and scallop pasta was disappointing. For $46, I did not expect to have to put my hands in the food and peel the shrimp at the table. I voiced my concerns, and my server informed me that’s how the dish is served, and he’d be happy to bring me a warm towel for my hands, which I appreciated. When I finally was able to eat my lunch, the seafood was very overcooked and worse, the scallops were gritty and felt like I was chewing sand. I would not recommend this dish at all.
I tried the lamb. They had good flavor, but my friend had difficulty cutting them and said the food was very rich and ended up sending almost the whole portion home with me for a snack later.

Nice spot with a variety of flavorful options, attentive service, and garden seating. It is on the pricier side, but fortunately all dishes are large enough to share.

Hospitality was great and nice ambiance inside. The food is a letdown. Check the pictures this was run of the mill boxed spaghetti you can pick up at the grocery store. The chicken Marsala was a small protein portion and unremarkable. The ragu pasta was not a ragu, it was red sauce with some ground meat mixed in, check the photo. Prices are high but at least the entrees come with salad and bread. One positive was the wine list. Glass choices were great and at a great price.

The popodoro lacked a lot of flavor and was a disappointment for the the price point. The bread was not as good as it looked but im glad it was free. The pizzeta was decent but it was nothing special especially for it being small and $27. I’m overall disappointed in the lack of flavor for the items we tried. Maybe there are other dishes that are better which our waiter mentioned, he was a cool guy. There was nothing wrong with the service at this spot.
