Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Julie was wonderful. Highly recommend and if it’s not on the menu, just ask and they usually can make it for you. They made Chicken Piccata for my wife and we got some fried cheese as well. Thank you Ruggeri’s for a nice evening.

A wonderful old-world-style Italian restaurant with amazing cuisine, fantastic service, and a great atmosphere. The souffle was splendid! It must be ordered with your entree, but don't pass it up. So worth it!

Small Restaurant with exceptional service and food. Live music on piano and they take requests. Higher end on prices and well worth it. Very personal with the owner always visiting with guests. Very classy. Parking can be found down the street - always seem to get the last open parking spot. After eating here many times, I can reassure you this is a top notch place. Everything this great. Attentive wait staff. Exceptional service.

Ruggieri’s in Colleyville is not just a restaurant, it’s an authentic Italian Family experience. As a Texas transplant in the late 80’s from m the Northeast (Stratford, CT) its a challenge finding REAL Italian food. They make FOOD an art in terms of quality and service. The menu and selections are always varied and the staff and owners are sooooo hospitable offering suggestions for appetizers wine pairing. SPECTACULAR (from a devout foodie).

We've been coming to Ruggeri's for 30 years now. It has always been the most authentic italian food we can experience in the Dallas Metroplex. We drive an hour one way to get there, and it is ALWAYS worth every second.

Julie was our server. Grace assisted. They were both very good. I wanted chicken piccata and it wasn’t on the menu. They made it for me, no problem. It was outstanding! This is a hidden gem in Colleyville! You must go! We will be back!

What an amazing experience here this evening! A Saturday night dinner was elevated to date status - live music, good food and excellent customer service. The owner Morris is such a sweet man. He is always so hospitable. Been visiting them since their previous location burned down. We really enjoyed their chicken parmesan and Fettuccine Alfredo pasta. And to top it off - the soft cake was a delight! We would recommend this place always! Cant wait to be back soon!
