History of Ruffino's Finer Foods
In 1890, Signor Giuseppe Ruffino and his wife Teresa arrived in New Orleans, settling promptly in the 600 block of St. Philip in the French Quarter. 73 years later, six out of their ten children resided or ran their businesses in that very block. Above pic represents 1st and very young 2nd generations.
The Ruffino’s proudly claim the title of one of the largest Italian American families in New Orleans, undoubtedly the largest and most tightly knit clan in the French Quarter. They represent 3rd and 4th generations.

The results were, Ruffino's was voted by the taste testers #1, second place was the grocery store's and last place was the other producer.
