For over 35 years, my family and I have had the privilege of serving this community. We have always believed in providing the customer with the best quality ingredients at an affordable price, in a family atmosphere. For almost all of those years, we have been the proud users of Foti Bread, Grande Cheeses and Cora Food products. This, along with our commitment to friendly and fast service, has separated us from the rest. Our pizza, Italian dishes and WORLD FAMOUS RONI ROLLS have brought us to this point and we thank our customers for that. It is both humbling and an honor to receive this recognition from the good people of Oneonta and the surrounding area. We look forward to serving you in the future, at our Home, in Downtown Oneonta. Thank you and God Bless! - Joe Ruffino
The History of Joe Ruffino's...
In the late 1950's a young
Giuseppe Ruffino, barely 20 years old, came to the great USA as a stone quarry
worker from Carini, Sicily in search of the American Dream. During the
years that followed, he worked hard in this country early on as a farmer and 
later as a construction worker. While working throughout the tri-borough area of
NYC he was reintroduced to his now wife Rosaria whom he had known from his
hometown in Sicily. As their relationship grew to marriage, so grew their vision
together of still finding that American Dream.
The lure of the countryside he so
loved in Sicily, along with the influence of other family members who had moved
to the area, drew Giuseppe and his young family to Upstate NY in the early
1970's. He and Rosaria knew this area would be ideal for raising a family. His
work interest, along with the influence of other family members in the
restaurant business, led him to embark his future career of owning his own
restaurant. In 1972 Joe Ruffino's Pizzeria and Restaurant opened on Main Street
in Oneonta. It's early years were spent in the Clinton Plaza, where the Armed
Force recruiters now have their office. In 1979 Giuseppe & Rosaria, in a
leap of faith, purchased the old Sears & Roebuck building in the heart of
historic downtown Oneonta. By 1980 Ruffino's found its new and current
home.
For over 33 years
our family restaurant has prided itself on bringing a consistency of quality
food and service to make every customer feel at home. We would like to thank you
for patronizing Joe Ruffino's all these years and to give you our pledge to
continue to make Joe Ruffino's the best value for your family dining, now and in
the future. And special thanks to Giuseppe and Rosaria for keeping the dream
alive all through the years.
