Ruggeri's Ristorante

I hadn't been to Ruggeri's since before the fire, and had a craving their Chicken Parmesan. My wife and I came and very much so enjoyed the food! Also for desert, get the Spumoni! Very glad this place still continues to serve excellent Italian food to the community.

Always great service and fantastic food here. Love the soufflé desserts in all flavors.

We have not been to Ruggeri's since the fire, the move and the Covid madness. In large part because we no longer go out at night for dinner and the restaurant no longer serves at lunch, which is when we now dine out in our old geezerness years. But we made an exception tonight as it's my birthday and the restaurant is pretty close and opens at 5:30. Though the restaurant is now located in a commercial strip center complex they have done a very nice job of making the interior warm and classy with black tablecloths, contrasting red napkins and elegant table settings. Very upscale and enjoyable. Our server, Jani, made us feel right at home. He presented us with five off menu options this evening, describing each one with such detail that one might be forgiven for suspecting he created or cooked them himself. I wanted them all! These off menu specials only serve to complicate one's meal decision, though in a rather enjoyable way as the Ruggeri's menu is in itself one of the most interesting, comprehensive, creative and inviting Italian restaurant menus in our area. We decided to go with the Dover sole to share. As you can see from the pictures this is a generous portion of fish, perfectly pan sautéed with lovely browned, crispy edges. It is served in a lemon butter sauce with grilled zucchini and a medley of various kinds of diced, roasted potatoes. The shared portions of the fish were just right for each of us. The fish could not have been cooked more perfectly. The table side preparation makes the dining experience all the more enjoyable. We shared a nicely done Caesar salad, and the Baked Oysters al Forno. The five plump Gulf oysters were perfectly cooked, not the least bit overdone. Our meal was accompanied by a Santa Margarita Pinot Grigio which was perfect with these seafood dishes. So wish there was at least a Friday or Saturday lunch service here, but we're definitely going to make another dinner date here as this restaurant is so enjoyable. I have the Lobster Thermidor on my radar screen!

This place is just really sweet. The owner is cute, he comes by the table to say hi. The piano player does some great hits like Billy Joel, Elton John, The Eagles. Our server, Karim, was wonderful. He was really nice, just the right amount of salesman, he didn't rush us. And did I mention they had four flavors of souffle? The food, it's just out of this world. There's no other way to say it. They make their own ricotta, they make their manicotti crepes fresh daily instead of just using a standard tube pasta. We tried so many things and every bit of it was exquisite. There was not a single fault in any of that amazing food. I cannot wait to go back, I already miss that manicotti.

Truly authentic in all the best ways - a very traditional, high quality Italian dining experience. According to a fellow patron, I ordered some of the best they had to offer - Italian chop salad, fresh made crab cakes over angel hair with lobster sauce and an amazing chocolate soufflé. Everything was wonderful - the crab cakes were not only fresh, but they had the perfect crunch and tasted better with every bite.Even though the setting and ambiance demanded a nice attire, most people were dressed very casually. Next time I return, I'll make sure to dress up. This is a great place for date night. The owner also walks around happily chatting with customers and he added some charm as well.

This is our first time in their new location. We loved the old location, so much ambiance. Although the scenery had changed the amazing service and outstanding food hasn't changed a bit.We started with the crab stuffed shrimp. So rich and savory. The crab stuffing was plentiful. Next we split a capiases salad. Creamy mozzarella with a side of roasted red bell paper and of course ripe thick sliced tomatoes. We added a little more balsamic just because we love us some balsamic.For a main course I had the pollo angelic. I love that dish! The chicken was tender and juicy with the layer of eggplant and mozzarella. The sauce was creamy and a perfect compliment. A small serving of layered potatoes and spinach soufflé rounded off the plate, simply delicious.The hubs got the lamb chops. 3 generous chops perfectly cooked, tender and wonderful. Also a side of layered potatoes and spinach soufflé.The server talked us into the chocolate soufflé for dessert. I would have rather had the cheesecake but it was ok, just not my favorite.Wine was great and the wine list was extensive. You'll definitely find a wine to complement your meal. I really like they had split bottles of sparkling wine so you don't have to buy a large bottle especially when the hubs would much rather enjoy a cab. Definitely a 5 star evening. The piano music played the entire evening we were there. It's an experience not just a dinner. Make a reservation to avoid a wait. We spent $182 with tip. Worth every single penny!

Food was great! Julie, our server, was very professional and nice. The restaurant was a romantic ambiance. Perfect for our anniversary dinner!

Tried Ruggeri's Restaurant tonight and was wonderful. Sausage ravioli, chicken parmesan and chicken piccata were light and wonderful. We topped dinner off with chocolate soufflé and it was extra good!Give this place a try it's well worth it!

Have always had good meals in the past at Ruggeri's restaurant in Collyeville, TX. However, recent experience leads me to believe that, unless you are a "regular", perhaps you're not welcome! Went there on a Saturday evening with a reservation. Were seated immediately upon entry, and one of the waitstaff brought water, but no menus or wine list.We were seated in the bar alcove; very noisy due to three other tables and a few at the tiny bar. Waiter finally showed up after about 15 minutes and asked if wanted drinks or wine. Told him we would like wine with our dinner, after which he walked away, still no menus! About 5 minutes later he came to an adjacent table. We flagged him down and asked if we could get menus, which he then brought. We flagged him down again later and asked if we could place our order, which he then took. We asked if he had a wine list, and he said yes, did we want one (duh!)?Food appeared later and, as always, was good. However, this is not the kind of service I would expect from this restaurant, or in fact, any restaurant at this price point. As an aside, another couple were later seated at an adjacent table where the same waiter appeared immediately with menus and the wine list. They were nearly finished at the same time we did! Maybe "regulars", which we won't ever be after this experience!

He is the most wonderful and nicest person you will ever meet. Loves all his customers and serving great food! Please come! I'm am here right now with my family and everything is perfect!
