Restaurant Rufus Amsterdam — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Rufus gave us the most memorable night for my wife's birthday and our party of nine people. The evening began with a mix of Albanian and Italian starters that blew us away. The homemade pasta with clams was simply divine, as well as the lasagna, rich and flavorful. The lamb chops were a perfect blend of seasoning and tenderness, melting in the mouth. We paired our meal with some exquisite Albanian and Italian red wines. Another highlight of the evening was a complimentary bottle of cava by the charming owners that truly made the night special.

Lovey dinner at Rufus. It’s a very gezelligheid local place that serves great food at reasonable prices in a lovely atmosphere. The concept is Italian Albanian and it works really well. We tried and enjoyed some Albanian wine which was made from cab, merlot, and a local grape.

The pasta was all home made and full of flavor. We tried, lasagna, gnocchi pesto, oriecchette pomodoro with dry ricotta, and zucchini parmigiana.

Overall, highly...
