The wife and I stopped in on a Thursday night recently. Thursday night is gnocchi night and she loves the stuff. We also had a groupon to use that was about to expire, so that in part got us in to Rudy's for the first time. Literally, I have passed by this place 100's of times on my way to Trader Joe's. I am still not sure what took us so long to come in for a meal.
Anyway, overall it was a great experience. We had no problem with our groupon, but we did feel the need to order plenty of food to get our full value. We ordered mussels and baked shrimp as appetizers and the wife got the gnocchi with a tomato sauce, while my main dish was the pan seared rib eye. The gnocchi can come with up to 5 or 6 different sauces to choose from, but the simple tomato was very tasty. All dishes were enjoyed, but next time I would probably get a pasta dish instead of the steak. I am pretty picky about my steak after all. We split the tiramisu for dessert as we were stuffed. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu.
In the end, we ordered plenty of food to cover the groupon. We will certainly return more often and order less food, as the portions are sufficient.
