For a city its size, Lafayette and the Lafayette area have a significant number of dining options. The only competition Ruffino's will face however, and the only restaurant that should feel any concern is Carraba's.

The only indictment on Lafayette, if Ruffino's fails, is that they chose another option, around the corner, that's easier to access.


Are you serious? Carabbas? A semi decent place for Italian food is going to be Ruffino's competition? If so, doesn't say much for Ruffino's reputation. Of course, I know its just an opinion, but...wow is all I can say.

I've never been to Ruffino's so I have no opinion on their food. I've lived in Lafayette all my life though and I can tell you that that location has all the earmarks of one of those places that no matter what restaurant is in it it will fail. Hard to get to, extremely high overhead and simply too massive.

I hope they make it though. They seem to be held in high regard and we could use another good Italian place.
