Ruzzo in Shepway

The food in this place is amazing, pasta all hand crafted, pizza all hand made and a burger to die for. 4 very full bellies and outstanding value . Made to feel very welcome and the place has a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended

Great service but very little atmosphere and overpriced food in small portions. Mediocre offering. (Not even the lasagne was home made). Did not feel very authentically Italian. Kind waitress though.

Lovely Italian restaurant. Food is really good had the Calzone and Salmon and chilli Penne pasta. Freshly cooked to order and served hot. Staff are very friendly and approachable. Lovely coffee and Honeycomb cheese cake for desert. Well worth a visit and I would definitely recommend.

Had a very nice meal as usual at Ruzzo and the service by Kayleigh was excellent. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

A little gem of a find. We went there last week with friends for an evening meal. We were met at the door by very friendly staff and shown to our table. I have to say it was a lovely change to go to an independent restaurant. We all agreed the food was spot on. One of the of the best and very authentic meals enjoyed by all of us. We will all be going back again and can’t wait to try the other dishes.

Lovely atmosphere, good attentive friendly staff. Food was just ok. Fried mozzarella starter was pour, three small pieces with a bit of pomodoro sauce no garnish just plonked on a plate £8.25! The main was nice carbonara al forna but not much chicken, at £16.25 I expected better. Didn’t bother with desserts, only four choices all of which were a tad boring. Cocktails were very plain no garnishes to make them look a bit special. I wouldn’t bother returning, to overpriced in my opinion

Great place to eat , love the service and the food is just superb 👌 10 Star 🌟

Great food and amazing service in the heart of New Romney. Garlic chilli sauce was fantastic!

My son and I had garlic bread, carbonara, calamari and chips. Toffee pud and chocolate orange cake. The food was very average. Garlic bread was good and home made. The rest was probably from brakes. Not a bad meal but not good value. We will go back and try the pizza which is freshly made. Overall, fine but just too average.

What a delightful place… the service was great and the food was tasty, we educated them on how to make a Negroni and it was good… definitely worth a visit if you are nearby !!

Very nice food with great service. Kayleigh was very welcoming and attentive! Will defo be back, thank u for a great experience :)

Excellent food, I had carbonara for main, which was delicious, amazing service from staff, would definitely go again 10/10

The food was absolutely impeccable! Had a lovely night with brilliant service and the atmosphere was amazing. Thank you Ruzzo!!

such a nice atmosphere, lovely food and service. such nice food came very warm and flavourful, drinks very nice too

Great food and amazing service, would definitely recommend. Will be coming back soon to try the pasta as I had a tasty pizza last time.

I have visited this place a couple times now and it has greatly improved since my 1st visit. The staff are thoroughly plesent and attentive especially the blonde lankey waitress, always making our dine enjoyable. The food is amazing, we had the ruzzo rustica pizza and the goats cheese alforno, both fairly priced for the portion sizes and the overall taste of the meal. High recomend.

Honestly the best Italian going!! The food just gets better every time we come back!! I had the special calzone nduja this time, which was delicious! lots of filling and great value for money!! The staff are so attentive and welcoming! Thank you ruzzo! See you soon!

Service was good even though staff seemed inexperienced and nervous. The food was average, at best, and overpriced when taking into account the quality. The risotto had quite a nice flavour but was overcooked and mushy. The special calzone was not special at all and had little filling or flavour. Wine was house standard and not worth the £24 asking price. We had a similar experience here a couple of years ago and only returned as we were invited by friends. We hoped that our previous bad experience would not be repeated but unfortunately it was. We won't be going back.

Friday evening meal out. Restaurant clean and tidy but could do with a bit of love to give it some character. The two girls serving looked after us well and were friendly polite and attentive Food. Muscles starters really tasty. Would have had it as a main but not on menu. Mains let the restaurant down. My pizza very tasty and no complaints. The other two mains, risotto and a pasta dish, not so good. Both so hot that I think they are being cooked in reactor core of Dungeness power station. Obviously nuked in micro. Risotto not fabulous and pasta dried out and scorchio on top. Would probably not go back. Shame. Looked promising from the outside.

Greeted at the door by staff and directed to a table. On recommendations from a co worker I ordered the Carbonara El Forno and a pizza. Food arrived hot and ready with the server offering "real" parmigiana cheese for each dish. The El Forno was lightly crisped and brown on top followed underneath by a thick white sauce with crispy pancetta and chicken that blended well with the pasta. The pepperoni pizza was too thin and crispy that held up. Flavours with both dishes was very good but we had no room for dessert.

A very nice Italian restaurant, the food is great the staff efficient and pleasant. So glad that this restaurant is very local for me.

Very good restaurant experience. Good food, kind staff. The vegan pizza rustica was very authentic and delicious. I had to ask for vegan options because they were not visible in the menu and got a pizza verdure with super tasty vegan cheese.

Was made to feel welcome from the get go. Food and service was amazing. Cocktail was lovely. Best Italian I've had in a while. If I was local I would be trying a few more dishes from the menu.

A lovely restaurant that we have been to a few times, and is extremely consistent in terms of food quality and service. The waiting staff are a delight and cannot do enough for you. Their menu represents good value for money. Well worth a visit if you are looking for a good restaurant. Think about making a reservation as they do get busy.

It was a really pleasant surprise to discover an authentic Italian restaurant of such excellent quality. The ingredients are obviously imported. I had a vegan pizza which was superb and my date had a Al Forno pasta which was also top notch.

We tried here for the first time and the foid was lovely, me my partner and son each had a pizza all very happy. But.... When a week later me and my partner desided to try something different we discovered a minimum spend had been imposed of just under £50 and our items only would have cost £35 so we desided against ordering. As some have said prices are a little high but the quality is worth it just not being forced to order more by having said minimum spend.

Another great place to eat in New Romney. I saw another review say the pizza wasn't great but that couldn't be further from the truth, maybe the reviewer was more used to greasy Dominoes or Pizza Hut than a more authentic pizza. The base was crisp, crust soft and the meat was clearly fresh. The calzone nduja was also excellent, everything included worked really well together and there was a good level of spice. I would definitely recommend to others who are fans of Italian cuisine.

The restaurant should not be called Italian. They served overcooked pasta with the same under-cooked tasteless tomato sauce. The bolognese sauce was off, probably was cooked several days before. The starters are overpriced, very tiny portions with no real Italian taste at all, the cheapest ingredients available from retail were served as antipasto. The service was not bad although they employ underpayed teenagers / young adults. Very disappointed as Google reviews are unreasonably high.

It has very good food like Italian pizza and pasta it is very well presented and overall very good restaurant

We ate at Ruzzo on Saturday. My husband had a gusto rustica pizza which was lovely and I had the seabass which was also very tasty. We finished off by sharing a cheesecake which was divine. Service was great. Jude, was serving at our table...

First time visiting and we will most definitely be back! Food was absolutely delicious and price wise very reasonable. Staff were a little over attentive which did make us feel a little rushed but we put this down to them being a little on the quiet side all were very friendly.

Very nice food Highley recommended

Lovely place to meet up with friends, family etc. The food was great. Good food choices on the menu. Staff were friendly, happy, and very accommodating. Will be returning very soon.

It must have been a bad night !! ...... I would not recommend. * atmosphere - poor, no real attempt to make this feel like an Italian restaurant apart from the name and menu. No background music but a table of noisy children. * table - plain timber with no table cloths to give a hint of quality. * food - average, apart from the pizza which we refused to pay for, awful !! * Price for 4 people - Not good value - Garlic bread to share / 1 main course each incl that awful pizza / wine and drinks / 1 coffee, the bill was £85.00 excluding the pizza .

Fantastic service from Jude who also has great hair! Nice vibe, big Portions of food particularly the pasta

Fabulous service with a smile from everyone, food was great and everyone is so child friendly, highly recommend.

Simply superb food and wonderful service.

Highly recommended. The food was really good indeed. The bruchetta and gnocchi, especially! The staff are great and we really enjoyed our experience.

A great find on a weekend away. Food was beautiful, service faultless. Great place.

Tried this place for the first time whilst staying in New Romney and looking for a gluten-free delivery option. Cannot recommend the food highly enough. Absolutely outstanding and will be back again, both to takeaway and to eat in. Thank you for a very real treat!

Excellent food, wonderful and friendly staff. Well kept and clean restaurant with a good atmosphere. Will continue to come back.

I was in a group of 5 friends this evening for food and a catch up. It was difficult to know what to choose from the menu. Everyone chose something different and everyone's food looked good and tasted delicious. We had a lovely waitress, Amelie,...

Just come back from having a lovely meal with my sister here. Jude was very polite and friendly. The food came out very quickly and the Seafood pasta’s were excellent definitely go again when we come back to New Romney.

Day out in Littlestone went to Ruzzo for dinner and had a fantastic meal lovely location and the service was excellent we will definitely be back,

I came here for dinner with my friends to catch up, and was shocked in the best way - the staff were incredible and the food was delicious!! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough and defiantly want to visit again for lunch !

Always so good! Don’t get to Ruzzo but when I do it’s always good food and staff are great! Would always recommend

Ordered Pizzas for delivery this evening after a long walk, the service was amazing, the person on the phone took the time to explain our options and then told us they would be with us within 15 minutes. True to their word they were spot...

I visited not long ago and I just couldn’t resist on coming back, ruzzo it’s the perfect Italian restaurant, I can’t fault one bit. Greeted with friendly staff, and served with excellent food. Thank you! I will be back again

I will start with the disappointment of the food at first. The starter's were ok. The mains, my husbands was very disappointing there was alot of pasta, sauce was all tomatoes no chilli in it at all and the prawns you could tell were frozen...

Always a fantastic meal great atmosphere and a good price for a delicious meal a must if your visiting and a stable choice if you live here too 😀

We had a lovely time at Ruzzo the food and service it was great the restaurant is well presented and clean . We be back .

Friendly staff, lovely home cooked Italian food and nice setting. Highly recommend a visit if staying in or around the area

Great food as usual. Supporting one of our local restaurants is top of our agenda but when food is this good and the staff (Emelie) are as attentive it is a pleasure we can’t resist.

Lovely service. Food was delicious with good portions. Very relaxed atmosphere

My wife and I went there for a day out while their grandparents were taking care of our kids for the day. The staff were welcoming and friendly, making us feel at home right away. I had the spaghetti while my wife ordered a pizza....

Great food and brilliant service. Perfect for families and couples. Will definitely be back.

Had a lovely set lunch during a day out on Romney Marsh The service was excellent and the food was especially tasty. Great experience!

Amazing service and food quality. By far the best Italian food/restaurant we’ve had in a long time. Can’t wait To return !

Fast, efficient, friendly service. Lovely fresh food. All delicious. Would visit again.

We had a lovely evening. Lovely food, great service and friendly atmosphere.

Food great, service great, but bloody freezing inside!!!!

Overpriced for the amount and quality of food.. red wine, small glass, £7.75!!!

We visit Ruzzo's restaurant every time we visit Lydd. The staff are friendly and helpful. Love their food selection. Look forward to calling in again.

Been here several times and every time the service and the food has been absolutely fab! Great addition to our local high street

I have visited this restaurant about 7 times now. So pleased to find one as our area of the coast lacks a good all rounder Italian Pizza is always delicious Starters are varied But there’s pasta with seafood and more One fish dish is a...

We visit regularly with our kids and sometimes pop in for lunch when the kids are at school on a Friday, the coffee is really lovely. The service is outstanding, the staff are always so lovely and polite, they are always incredibly accommodating. We have...

Very nice meal with a good selection available on the menu. A nice wine menu. Good service, definitely one to visit again. Perfect for a family event or a couples date night.

A lovely authentic Italian restaurant with amazing service and food. I would definitely recommend a visit to this gem

We had a lovely meal here tonight, amazing food and the waitress Jess was particularly attentive and considerate. We can’t wait to be back!

Lovely restaurant and staff. We were a group of 9 with children and we all had a great time before going to rye bonfire.

This was the second time I have eaten here and both times have been amazing food and service. We will definitely be returning.

This is one of the best Italian restaurants I have visited. The food was fantastic, the restaurant was modern and the staff were all really friendly. Owning a pizza oven I have become a bit of a pizza snob, but I have to say Ruzzo’s...

Had the best experience here after reading the reviews I decided to visit last week, food was amazing staff was amazing would recommend and will be telling friends and family about my experience and to go there!

We went to Ruzzo tonight to celebrate our son’s 1st birthday. Firstly the waitress was so lovely- really sweet and accommodating. The food was ok- although expensive for what it was. Tiny portion of mussels for my starter and hardly any seafood in my seafood...

Ciabatta signifitently burnt on base, waitresses response "will tell kitchen", very small amount of oil and balsamic to dip into. Calzone sparsly filled and very doughy. Average at best

I came in and orderd a pizza (I was in a rush so I only orderd the burger) and the service was amazing the burger was cooked very fast and it was delectable. Will dine here again and I 100% recommend it

I will start at the end. I asked the waitress when requesting the bill if the owners were Italian and she replied "they are Albanian and Polish." Not that it should matter but its not a very authentic restaurant. We travel down to this part...

Lovely lovely and ultra lovely.

The food was ok but bland. Prices were too high. Disappointing.

Having eaten here on a number of occasions we have always enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and the service. This visit was no different, the food was as delicious as ever and clearly the chefs put their heart and soul into the quality of the...

Jasmine was exceptional, nice helpful and patient with a foreigner (French). The pasta where very good.

Fantastic food & great service, very friendly efficient waitress.

Fabulous family get together made extra special by fantastic service & understanding. Jasmine our waitress was exceptional with patience & cheerfulness. Highly recommended.

I dined here with my family it was amazing. The pasta was delicious I definitely recommend eating here

Always lovely food and great service. Great having an Italian locally which we frequently visit. Highly recommend.

More than slightly underwhelmed. Went to the restaurant based on the many good reviews. Spent over £140 on meals and it was average at best. Calzone was very sparsely filled, pizza had barely any toppings at all. Carbonara was a single layer of bland pasta...

fantastic service and fabulous food

This is such a lovely restaurant serving fresh and tasty food and such friendly staff-they coped brilliantly with our large family gathering of 13 adults and children to start off our holiday. Everyone was very happy with their meals (not easy with ages from 7...

Great restaurant all of the waiters where nice especially Kelly I had the Italian pizza and the Nutella sticks 5 stars

We were warmly welcomed by front of house staff who seated us at a table, it is very spacious in the restaurant, we ordered drinks and starters with our waitress (Jasmine) who was very helpful with some recommendations, after ordering we got our drinks and...

Pasta portions were very tiny, had chicken with pasta, think there was more meat on a KFC hot wing than in their dishes. The meatballs were also minute. The pizzas were OK.

A great Italian restaurant in the centre of New Romney. Food was delicious and plentiful. The staff were really friendly and welcoming - they gave good advice on what to order and their recommendations worked well. Will definitely go back when next in the area...

Had a brilliant lunch today at RUZZO. Not my 1st time in visiting and eating at this lovely friendly restaurant. Food cooked fresh and amazing to taste. Cocktails are GOOD TOO. Will be back soon.

Came for a family meal on Wednesday was amazing!! staff were friendly and great service food was lovely and fairly priced would highly recommend if your in the area

Fantastic food in a lovely environment with great service

We had a lovely meal at ruzzos a big thanks to all at ruzzo we definitely be back when we are in the area. Once again thank you for the candles on my cheesecake 😀

We ordered from here this evening, very disappointed. Next to no meat in the pasta dishes, garlic bread was burnt and had no taste of garlic, garlic mushrooms could have been from a packet and we only received 4 mushrooms as a dish. The fact...

Great friendly resturant...good sized portions...Great value for money.

Great food, really nice place, best restaurant around!

Lovely meal and had Jasmine as our waitress who was great and reallly accommodating. Had a lovely meal
