San Rufo's Skegness in East Lindsey

Went while we were at Butlins to get out of there for a decent meal and that is exactly what it was The restaurant is clean and it’s and the service was friendly and good. There were 14 of us and all the meals were good and well presented would recommend. About 40 mins walk or the bus passes by if your going to Butlins

Our first visit and what a delight . Delicious food , great service and excellent value for money . We will definitely be back .

I am really fussy food snob. But a have to say how excellent the food was. In fact we all went twice to the restaurant. I was on holiday with friend and I would defiantly go back.

Enjoyed our second visit here. A good choice of food . We had varied choices and everyone was pleased . Restaurant is clean. and service good . Tagliatelle Carbonara is my favourite there but I have vowed to try some of the other dishes as they all looked good .

I was part of a large-ish group that came here on a busy Saturday night. We had booked in advance and paid a deposit to secure the table. On arrival, we could see that every table was taken, the place was buzzing, and the unmistakable smells of garlic and oregano were filling the room. Service was prompt, friendly and efficient. Food was uniformly superb. I had a lobster and crab ravioli from the specials board that was out of this world. Starters were very generously portioned, I had good reports about the pizzas, and the kitchen staff were flexible enough to amend orders to suit. If you are in the area, this restaurant is an absolute no-brainer. Just go there. (And don't forget to book in advance).

Visited with two friends on a golfing trip. Needed a late booking as we were playing two rounds per day. 9.30pm last booking so fine. Skegness is short of places where you can get decent food, (thinks bugers, chicken places, and half decent chippys amongst a couple or so good ones). Here though is very well cooked main meals, decent friendly service and good house wine. Recommend

After being turned away from our usual as they were 'too busy' we decided to try San Rufos... We are so pleased we did as the staff are amazing, they literally can't do enough for you and omg the food was absolutely gorgeous. The lady...

Wow the place and food excellent. Lovely lasagne and pasta dish. Well worth a visit. Not expensive. Lovely staff too.

I would like to say upon arrival we were greeted by staff in masks and they checked that at the time of my booking I left contact details for check and trace ✔️ Tables were spaced out and the staff were as usual very nice...

I went there last weekend with my fiancé and the meal was excellent, the garlic bread was one of the best I’ve had, for the main course I had lobster Thermidor. Which was amazing served with perfectly cooked buttered vegetables, the staff are very polite...

Eaten here a few times. Both times the food has been amazing! The muscles are a must!! And lobster is unreal. My partner has had fillet steak both times and couldn’t say a bad thing about it. Somewhere we will always return to. On our...

Often visit because we are local. Like to sit outside in the summer because quite frankly it makes you feel like you are holiday, even when you aren’t. Ordered a lobster Thermidor starter....the restaurant was busy, but it was exceptional. Had tagliatelle gamberoni for main...

Perfect location for North Shore Caravan Park. Booked for a family meal, busy restaurant but Covid safety being adhered to. Staff in visors which is great as sometimes struggle to hear staff when they wear masks. Great menu and a specials board so spoilt for...

Not from the area and decided to go here on the Thursday evening. So glad we did. The staff were all pleasant and very efficient. The food was excellent. The place was extremely busy. I would highly recommend if you are in Skegness then book...

Booked a table here for a family meal (2 adults, 4 children). Tables all well spaced with staff wearing visors or masks, sanitiser available so all good in respect of covid19. Starters were fantastic....the stuffed pepper is a large starter so one to share. Main...

We ate here last night with our 12 year old grandson ( pizza expert!) food was great and service friendly and timely without waiting too long. Can't say anything negative about it at all, and "pizza expert " said best he's ever had. That's a...

I can't say anything negative about this restaurant. Wonderful service and lovely Italian food. The restaurant seemed covid-safe. The tables were reasonably spaced for quite a narrow restaurant. Waiters in visors and clean toilets. Sanitiser at the entrance. The meat tortellini was lovely and my...

After all the reviews on here I chose this restaurant specifically. There were plenty of other Italian restaurants to choose from in the area The food lacked flavour and I was severely disappointed with the lobster ravioli. I also tried my kids spaghetti bolognese and...

Honestly one of the best Italian meals we have had. We avoided eating in Skegness, we felt it would be too busy but our Eldest son begged us to go for an Italian on our last night. Reluctantly we agreed, booked an outside table and...

Fantastic food and great service this was a wonderful dining experience. The food was delicious and hot and enjoyed every mouthful. Music and ambiance great 😁😁

Another fantastic night. Food was hot, tasty and served quickly. The risotto is particularly good. Brilliant atmosphere too.

From our arrival to departure we were very impressed with the standard of professionalism, care and cleanliness displayed by all members of staff, so difficult to get right in these strange times. The food was superb.Hot,tasty and excellent quality. The staff were unendingly polite and...

Came here after a fantastic meal here last year but unfortunately we left very disappointed and won’t return. The steak wasn’t left to rest before being plated up, the mushroom was dripping with grease and the steak sauce tasted sour and off. We advised the...

We ate here again last week, never disappointed with the menu or the food. Staff are great and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. Book early I suggest.

Lovely restaurant great food - there were 10 of us service was good & food was great couldn’t fault at all - definitely recommend

We were in Skegness for a weekend to celebrate our 20th Anniversary went to the restaurant on Saturday night at 6.30pm we were made welcome from the moment we arrived. There was good social distancing and our drinks order was taken quickly and delivered in...

Usually go to a different Italian in Skegness but decided to try this restaurant for a change. Extremely busy restaurant with staff working hard. The food was excellent and arrived within an acceptable time. Obviously, within these strange times, the focus is on hygiene and...

My wife and i managed to get in on a thursday evening when booking only 2 hours before we wanted to go, they managed to accommodate us even though they were very busy. We had mixed olives and bruschetta to start and then i had...

Our first takeaway from here. We've eaten in many times prior to lockdown but decided to stay out of the restaurant for a little longer. All the staff were wearing visors and sanitiser was available. The food was excellent and hot, large portions and well...

Just visited San Rufo's Italian for the first time with my husband to celebrate our upcoming 20th anniversary. Table booked for 6pm so we got there a bit before. Soon seated at our table, in a lovely little restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Waiting staff...

This is our favourite place to eat when we visit skegness...the food is amazing along with the staff, which nothing is to much trouble for them to make your dining experience special.....weve visited many times and probably tried nearly everything on the menu....and never been...

Once again great food and service . Only criticism treat all the customers the same , the people sat aside us were offered drinks on the house ! They only are a main course and left . We had 3 courses and coffee and were...

The food is always brilliant. But I never finish my plate and take some back to the B&B. The price is very reasonable. Only fault on our last visit was that the waitresses didn't ask if we needed a drink when our food arrived. There...

I would not eat here again. After eating the bass and mussels I spent the next day on the toilet. I thought it was me but my son had the same and was ill all day.wifes chicken not nice either.

Had a couple of days in Skeggie and dropped in and what a great surprise. Excellent decor and great menu topped off with delightful and attentive staff. Would highly recommend on price and quality

First time here brilliant place atmosphere the staff an food is great well be back soon give it a whirl u wont be disappointed also great valve Well done guys

Love this restaurant!! Great food & atmosphere! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!! Amazing food! Great staff, beautiful scenery!

Food tasted good and was very well presented, the front staff were quite miserable and just stood about staring. Particularly put of by one waitress chewing gum. Wouldn't recommend it due to this, not entirely sure I would go again. Might go to Mario's on...

Food was good, well presented and served at a good temperature. The number 1 put off for me was the witress chewing gum all the time even when taking the order.

The restaurant was good but not quite great. The serice was warm and friendly and the food was good just didnt stand out to be great. Would go there again as its certainly worth a visit. Thanks Martin

We came for a weekend of motocross racing and I don't know the area so went of what trip said so glad we did it was delicious best Italian I have had and will be returning next year. The portion sizes are big and a...

We where going to a show in Skeg-Vegas, so I found this little gem! Staff are really helpful, all we wanted to drink was tap water, not a problem. My husband loves his margarita pizza, so he was happy. But Mum and me had the...

We have been going to skeg for many years and never tried this restaurant-not sure why but will defo be returning again! Service was impeccable. Place was clean and lovely. The starters were amazing and of a very large size. All reasonably priced see receipt

We visiting San Rufos at 8pm on a Saturday night. The place was buzzing. We were seated on a tucked away table for two which was perfect for us. The restaurant was nicely decorated & comfortable. The staff were friendly & tentative. We had one...

Visited here whilst on holiday with the wife. We were a bit concerned after reading a few of the reviews, but need not have worried. The staff were polite and attentive the food excellent quality and large portions. We were neither rushed nor kept waiting...

Fantastic 3rd visit here. Small local Italian but friendly and prompt. Food is outstanding and very good portions. I pertiullay li

Been to a few Italian restaurants and this was poor. Service was acceptable, but had a lot better. Extremely tight on the parmesan.

Attended with a friend about 8pm without booking and waited around 5 mins for a table to be cleared for us which was fine, though would have been better if offered a drink whilst we waited. Seated and presented with the menus and again no...

San Rufos is a nice smallish but busy Italian restaurant. You should always book a table. Food is really nice and plentiful. Staff are really nice and friendly and although it’s not my favourite in town it’s definitely worth a visit just to try the...

Having driven past this restaurant many times we decided to book a table after high season in the area so as to avoid the busy period. On entering, this seemed like a good idea as there were only two other tables in use as we...

We had dinner here twice during our visit to Skegness and both times the food was really lovely and the service good. We had the lobster ravioli and also the salmon and both were very good. The house red wine was very reasonably priced and...

We visited San Rufos for a night out. The food was lovely we had the tagliatelle and the lobster ravioli which had lots of flavour and good portion sizes. I had booked the table for 8pm, we arrived at 7:50 and there was a queue...

Had another fantastic meal there. My husband had the lobster I had pizza and then a pudding. Great value for money. Staff very friendly.

Go here a lot big menu all of it excellent. Prices in line with the quality. Service from all staff wonderful. If you are in Skegness this restaurant ya s must visit.

All I can say is fantastic. Top quality food and service. Word of warning the portions are big so if not starving ask for a small one. We will be going back when next in Skegness.

I went here for a family meal with my mum and my son. My mum had the steak which she really enjoyed, I had the chicken with white wine sauce which was delicious and my son had pizza. The food was lovely and hot and...

Stopped for lunch for family of 4 with a 2 year old and 4 year old. Great pizza and pasta, absolutely amazing desserts!! Great service too - couldn’t ask for more

I had the calamari which was cooked to perfection and the classic Bolognese which was delicious and filling. Defiantly recommend this place. It has a lovely atmosphere and the staff were so helpful.

Visited on our anniversary. Food here was lovely and well priced. Staff were friendly. Would come back again next time in skegness.

The food here is fabulous. We eat here one a week and are always impressed. The girls are wonderful and are always happy and helpful. Alex is a great chef and he will always try to accommodate any special requests for food like our special...

Highly recommended, great food great service and reasonably priced. Both mine and my husbands meals were fabulous

We visited in June when it was quiet and had an excellent meal. Last night the place was heaving and we still received the same service and quality of food. The tagliatelle ai gamberoni is excellent! We had to wait a little longer but that...

Had an amazing takeaway from here. It was also delivered quicker than estimated. I had Pollo Alla Creme and my partner had carbonara. Big portions with plenty of flavour delivered at a good speed. we had sides too and couldn't even finish them. Nicest Italian...

On holiday in Skegness and wanted a nice meal on our final night. Through the power of TripAdvisor we decided on this little place. We were not disappointed!! The restaurant is small but perfectly presented. The food was top class, the three of is cleared...

Been here before and was looking forward to again. As this was the last day of our break we were ready fo a treat. But very disappointed. The portion size was massive but would prefer quality over quantity. Mushrooms were ok nothing to make me...

This is now my favourite Italian. Apart from the delightful food , what makes this special is the amazing staff that work here. Such a pleasure to have the waitresses enjoying some friendly banter with genuine smiles and laughter. A really good atmosphere,

The food was execellent, portion sizes were very good and it was well presented and cooked to perfection. Some of the best food we have had recently. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the service was also quick and attentive. The house red...

Local couple, usually go to the other Italians in Skeg (which are lovely too) went here as the others couldn’t accommodate, and oh boy I’m pleased we did. I haven’t been in this restaurant for years and it’s absolutely lovely. The waitress service was spot...

Visited this gem of a restaurant on Sunday What a find ! The food was superb and the staff so friendly and welcoming Debbie and Carla kept us amused all evening and made it a great night Despite booking at the last minute they managed...

Take away ordered for quick and easy family tea and collected from the restaurant. San Rufos Special which was shared by two..... awful. It wasnt that hot. The ham was fatty. The "steak" was fatty and chewy. The chicken was in perfect small cubes so...

We visited tonight just the 2 of us and had the most wonderful meal. San Rufos doesn't look much from the outside but inside it's clean and welcoming and has a great atmosphere. I had calamari to start and my partner had sardines. Both were...

Every time we come here it’s absolutely beautiful! Service is so good! The girls were busy but still made time for us and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food has always been amazing. We had a variety of things and each was...

Excellent visit the staff are amazing the food is yo die for and the locals rave about it what more could you want. Our little man was tired and out of routine in our visit but the lovely lady who served us was so reassuring...

Last visited Skegness in 2015 when I owned a caravan nearby and was recommended to eat here. Our first return and we chose to eat here once again, we weren’t disappointed our food was exceptional once again. Highly recommended book in advance as people were...

An amazing meal here last night. Could not fault the food or staff. This will always be our 1st choice of restaurant in Skegness. Cannot praise San Rufos enough!

San Rufos’s continues to be one of our favourite restaurants. I have recently visited for a meal with friend and Alex (chef ) and the whole team are absolutely superb. The ambience and setting is very warm, welcoming and friendly, the service just the right...

Every time we go to Skegness we visit San Rufos. Never been disappointed! On our last visit they had a Lobster Thermidor for starters which at only £12 was the size of some I’ve had in other restaurants as a main! This trip we both...

Our family planned a surprise meal here while in skegness for the weekend for our 40th wedding anniversary. The restaraunt is very well decorated and very clean.the service was excellent and the food was amazing. The portions were very generous and beautifully presented and cooked...

I must agree with a number of reviews the food here is very good indeed and the portions are very generous and the staff are great. However I would suggest that if you are coming for a quick meal then you may need a rethink....

We visited on a Tuesday night and there were quite a few tables occupied. This was my first visit and early impressions were very encouraging. A lovely welcome from staff and a menu to suit all tastes and appetites. We ordered our drinks and they...

Second visit and as it was Easter they were fully booked inside. However offered a table outside. I was worried it would be cold but didn't need to worry. They area is enclosed to keep any drafts out and lovely with lights and heaters for...

Visited with my husband and parents. Great service from booking a table thru to being served food and drinks. Friendly environment and great atmosphere. Food is second to none and is well worth a visit.

We can’t fault any of the dishes that we have tried. Everything was cooked with care, and we thoroughly enjoyed all of them, particularly the homemade pasta filled with swordfish. The only problem was the very lengthy service, despite the fact the there were only...

We had really great seafood, freshly prepared, tasty, huge portions. Only downside was the waiting. It took us 2h for a starter+main, with a total of 16 customers in the restaurant... I hope it was a one off due to some issue in the kitchen!

Allways had good food nice atmosphere allways clean service from the staff very friendly price not to expensive

Lovely restaurant, gorgeous food. The best Italian restaurant in Skegness. We always come here to celebrate a birthday, anniversary etc The service is great & the prices are very reasonable.

There were 14 of us and the service and food were both excellent. I had sea bass with mussels and prawns in a delish sauce! Everyone was happy with what they had and we left talking about when we would return.

We visited this restaurant for a meal in the evening. Unfortunately we were sat right by the exitvused by all the smokers and we’re consequently disturbed throughout our meal by them going in and out. This caused us to constantly be in a cold draught...

Table booked, excellent friendly service. But portions are far too big, starters would be adequate as a main, salad caprese would serve 4, bruschetta would serve 2, Far too much sauce on the chicken, but not enough prawns in the pasta. We left the restaurant...

Having seen many place on town. I think it's the best place i ate during my holiday at Skegness. Very Italian and and tasty menu. Wait to be there next time and thank you guys for the hospitality....

We were recommend this place by locals and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The food was full of flavour, very hot and well presented. Staff were very friendly as well. For a Wednesday night it was busy. We went to Mario’s night before and got to...

I have taken my wife for our 37 th Wedding Anniversary to San Rufos for a meal ! The food was fantastic and the service was first class and great value for money ! Thank you for a lovely night !!!

We moved into the Spalding area two and a half years ago - and have tried out a few restaurants, all are ok but none stick in the memory. For our anniversary we wanted to try out an Italian Restaurant but looking at the reviews...

We have been here three times in four weeks, each time we have had the same excellent service& great food, tonight I ordered the wrong main my fault but they couldn’t do more to make it right for me a fresh sauce from scratch (thank...
