Casa Rugantino

Small authentic Italian family owned restaurant Enjoy yourself for lunch or dinner in their quaint, traditional dining room decorated with true Italian style.

Founded on the loins of true Italian roots more than 32 years ago, Casa Rugantino is one of KW’s best-kept secrets. Customers cannot stop talking about the delicious traditional, homemade food and with new owners (descending from the Amalfi Coast in Italy) the service has been more than impeccable. Expect to find this family-run business serving up fresh homemade Italian from traditional to specia
