Sunday brunch with the ladies was delicious— crabby eggs Benedict and cheese & spinach omelette, Bloody Marys & Marias, coffees, and bread. The staff are polite, informative, and accommodating. A great spot off Main Street!

Ruvo had a warm and inviting presence in the Dining room. The shrimp and scallop risotto was rich and creamy. The grilled salmon was cooked to perfection and the class in white wine sauce was delectable. The desserts were huge portions and split amongst the 6 of us. Overall wonderful birthday celebration at Ruvo that combined excellent food and attentive service.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ruvo in Port Jefferson is a gem! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for both a cozy date night and a lively family gathering. The food is consistently delicious—highlights for me were the artichoke flatbread, the chicken Tuscana, and the decadent mascarpone cheesecake. The wine list is impressive, and the staff is attentive without being overbearing. We chose from the Prix Fixe Dinner Menu (Sunday–Wednesday, 4PM–Close, $51++), which made the evening feel like an incredible value without sacrificing quality. Ruvo is located down Wynn Lane, across the street from Danielle’s Beauty Bar at Glow, making it easy to find right in the heart of Port Jeff. If you’re in Port Jeff, whether coming off the ferry or strolling the village, Ruvo is absolutely worth the stop. A true neighborhood favorite that delivers every time!

Excellent and affordable restaurant week options. Happened during a birthday dinner as well. Tried many dishes but the favourite dish has to be the 1/2 roasted duck. Perfect crispiness on the outside and moisture and tender on the inside. Well balanced with the acidity and sweetness from the apricot glaze that cut across any fattiness and delivered a symphony of flavours in perfect harmony. Definitely 10/10 for that particular dish. However the veal sorrentino was not as good as I had hoped for. A bit too tough to chew, perhaps pounding or forking it before dipping and coating may help to tenderize fully. The scallops and prawns was tender and soft, very fresh! Unfortunately the bottom risotto is undercooked. Need to time it precisely, or alternatively try tasting for raw consistency before pour it out. The bottom will always be cooked versus the top of the risotto. Flounder is good with lemon and garlic herb flavour. Meatball is another highlight, especially the sauce, real tomatoes with natural sweetness. Highly recommended overall. Execution is probably 8, but the duck will bring to 8.75, not quite a 9 yet. Server is friendly and outgoing and very precise and professional. The portions are massive and the atmosphere is laid bad and cozy. Must try if you haven’t.

Great restaurant! Food is wonderful as is Kevin the bartender—good pours. On Tuesday nights they have half price flatbreads! Get the Caesar salad flatbread not listed as half price but it is!

Really nice place with a rustic, romantic vibe. The food and service was excellent. Served hot and nicely portioned. Cesar salad was your with anchovies and dressed just right. Artichoke and spinach flatbread appetizer was excellent also. My girlfriend got the Tuscan chicken over spaghetti and was a really nice portion. It needed a little salt but otherwise was perfect. I got the orrechetti with sausage and broccoli rabe and was very good. Sausage could have been cooked a little less and there could have been more broccoli rabe, but was still enjoyable. One other thing, they asked if I wanted cheese sprinkled on top, which I loved, but they used the wrong cheese. Instead of sprinkling grated Romano, they spooned on shredded parmesan. Not really appropriate for that dish. $137.00 + tip

Ruvo 📍Port Jefferson, NY @ruvorestaurant Located in the heart of of Port Jefferson, Ruvo is serving up amazing Italian dishes that are sure to please. The inside is rustic and cozy, with plenty of natural lighting and open floor plan. They offer live music on the weekends that can be enjoyed whether you sit in the bar or formal dining area. The restaurant is ran by the four brothers of the DeNicola family, who are carrying on Classic Italian traditions. We absolutely loved everything about this spot! Our appetizers were amazing, especially their Maryland Crab Cakes and Mini Rice Balls. For our entrees we did some variations on their original dishes that the staff is happy to accommodate if you ask (why you see the * in the video. We loved the Pesto Gnocchi with added chicken cutlet (typically served with a beef, pork, and veal bolognese). Lindsey couldn’t decide over the chicken or eggplant Parmesan so we got both on one plate! Our server Maxwell (who was excellent) was very nice about the chefs being open to variations, so don’t be afraid to ask! Every dish that passed by us looked amazing and we are sure to be back to try some of the other menu items. We highly recommend this spot! We loved it here and we know you will too! Live music every Friday and Saturday night from 7-10 pm! Follows us on Instagram @drinklongislandny for full video and many more!

We will now become regular customers! 😀

My twin sister Danielle’s business, Danielle's Beauty Bar, is located inside Glow of Port Jeff, right across the street from Ruvo! Every time we conduct services, we can't help but notice the delicious aroma wafting from Ruvo. After setting up her store for an event, we finally got the chance to dine at Ruvo Restaurant! Despite being such an exclusive place, I was initially unsure about bringing the kids along. However, the experience exceeded all our expectations. The food and desserts were excellent, and the drinks were great. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff who went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. They even had a decent menu for the kids, which made the evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Ruvo for a delightful dining experience! 😊🍽️

We had a fantastic birthday dinner at Ruvo. The food was incredible and the service was friendly and professional. Their price fixe menu has so many options. We'll be back again soon, without a doubt.
