Artisan Baker

Who We Are:
Located in Niagara Wine Country, Ruffino’s is Niagara's newest Italian inspired neighbourhood restaurant. Featuring a wood-fired grill and pizza oven. Guests enjoy dining al fresco on our patio, up close & personal at our chef’s bar, or enjoy a cozy candlelit table for 2. The food is soul satisfying & belly filling like Nona’s. Warm and welcoming like the fires we cook on. All sourced fresh from our 4 acre farm. If we slow down, spend time with each other, eat great food & drink great wine, then we will learn what it means to be family and a community. All deserts are locally and seasonally inspired. All of our breads are natural sourdough using a 26 year old starter and wood fired oven. One of our owners is a former pastry instructor from the Stratford Chef’s School and helps mentor and train up and coming talent. We have a long standing commitment to artisan sourdough bread production and have never had commercial yeast in the building for almost 20 years
