    The wife and I tried this joint when we first moved up here. She remembered it from her childhood I was the first timer. Overall when you walk in you get the feeling that this place is family and only family working and running it. The ambiance is family pictures with a few of the classic old world Italy pictures. And it looks like this place has been around for years, which according to the wife it has been since she can remember (I am sure the date it opened is in the description but I didn't look). The entrees lacked the traditional garlic flavor that I expect at an Italian joint, maybe their form of Italian is inspired for a different region than I am used to, but I don't know. I had the chicken parm, the chicken was cooked well the spaghetti was cooked to perfection. But again the lack of garlic flavor perplexed me. The wife enjoyed her meal. Overall we enjoyed the dining experience of our first trip ordering off the individual entree menu, that would earn it 3 stars. But the 4 star rating comes from the pizza. We have made this our go to pizza joint in the area. First the crust is thin, which is the best IMHO. Second the cheese they use is super stringy and the toppings, while not the highest quality are still good. Overall I might try the entree menu again. But we will always be back for the pizza.

    The best pizza in town! The owners and staff are great. The pizza crust is on the thin side and has just the right crispness. There is just the right amount of sauce. Not too much, not too little. We get a salad with house dressing to go along with a large ham and pepperoni pizza and breadsticks. The ham has great flavor and the pepperoni has just the right amount of spice. I would recommend Pasquale's. Go get yourself a pie!

    My husband introduced me to this place. He remembers eating here as a child. We also did our rehearsal dinner here. The place does look like it has been here for years. The moment you step in, you would notice the owner's family photos on the wall. Food is good. Comfortable enough to consider going back but not mind blowing good to make it your first choice to go to. I hope they either renovate or move to a better building. I will probably agree more to eat there if they update the place. They also currently hold the Guinness World Record for the biggest calzone.

    Not sure what's happened to this place. The food and server was better a few years ago. Not sure I'll be looking to return again any time soon.

    I must tell you I do not usually go out to eat Italian food at too many place because It is usually a disappointment. If I want good Italian food I will cook myself or eat at family's home or go to place I know care about what the serve. That said I will tell you I went to Ruli's the first time last year and again last night. On my first visit without even looking at the menu I asked do you have Carbonara? They server said, "Yes, and it is very good." I ordered it and out came pasta with Alfredo sauce with salami and vegetables. First off, I dislike Alfredo sauce. Secondly, carbonara doen't have s cream sauce, a raw beaten egg is what makes the sauce. Traditional Carbonara is so simple and pretty hard to screw up. The true carbonara is so simple, yet so delicious, and has very simple ingredients eggs, cheese, and Guanciale or pancetta. No cream or Alfredo sauce ever in carbonara. If any self-respecting Italian here or in Italy was given this dish with the Alfredo you will have fight or at least the full plate thrown in the kitchen as they yell at the cook that prepared it. So on to my second visit... I knew better than to order the carbonara. I see eggplant parmigana one of my favs (again my fav if it's made the traditional way it resembles a lasagna; sauce, eggplant, cheese, and repeat... some families in Italy vary by adding hardboiled egg and/or mortadella. Place who don't care just buys frozen pre-breaded eggplant sliced and deep fry and put on top of spaghetti and pour sauce and cheese on top. That is absolutely not eggplant parm and that is how they do it at Ruli's, the server explained. So I contemplated the veal parm. Again a simple dish, yet it can be made poorly by not selecting good quality veal. So I usually ask questions to avoid ordering at places that use the frozen processed TV dinner breaded "Salisbury steak" type veal patty. So I asked the waitress, do you make your own veal parm? "Yes, we do", she replied. I then asked, do hand cut the scallops of veal. "No we buy them precut." This is ok, precut is veal that is already sliced and vacuum sealed in single servings the opened and pound out and dipped in the egg and then seasoned bread crumbs... Simple, right? What I was served I was not expecting after what the waitress had answered... It was veal (sort of) patty where the meat was ground mixed with fillers, binders and shaped into a patty resembling exactly what I was trying to avoid, a frozen breaded veal Salisbury steak burger and tasted exactly like a Swanson or Banquet brand veal parm tv dinner for $4, that is what I was served. My mind was starting to go Chef Gordon Ramsey'esque but my mouth stayed very collected. I told the waitress you told me this was homemade... This is a frozen chopped and processed breaded veal patty, it is not even all veal, there are fillers! She said, "I tried to tell you, I said we don't cut the veal ourselves." But you told me you make it your own veal parm!" Apparently, the fact they top the frozen patty with sauce and mozzarella and bake there qualifies as homemade. I told her I didn't want it and to please take it off the bill. She would not take if off the bill and said, "Well, you did order it and I tried to tell you." I told her next time just be direct and say, No we don't make it, we use a frozen or premade veal patty. She said, I can't just say that." If she is too embarrassed or has to hide this when people like me ask questions to avoid ordering it then they should be severing it. This is the perfect example of why I do not eat out Italian food many places. There are some families capitalizing on the normal non-Italian or Italians who have been here so many generations that the lost knowledge of what true Italian cooking is, very simple. Its prepared with love for making people happy when they eat it. I have seen this many times in Italian family owned restaurants, these owners tell me, "the Americans don't know any better so why waste the expensive good stuff on them, they're happy with what we serve" and those owners know me and tell me, don't eat this don't eat that, "it's not what we eat and what you eat at home." This mentality is a true insult to me and to true Italians when places like this serve low quality food. I should have known better when I saw the sign on the wall for desserts and saw "Tira Ma Sue" listed... I mean if they can't even know how to spell Tiramisu or even care enough to look it up the correct spelling then that is red flag to the care and pride for the food in general that come out of the kitchen.

    I've been hearing about Rulli's for years, and on this visit, I finally made it there. What a find indeed! I think homemade Italian food is among the finest in the world, and you can certainly get your fill of it here. This is a small, somewhat out of the way place on a residential street near downtown Mishawaka. You can't stumble upon Rulli's; you have to know where it is. But once you're there, you'll enjoy the comfortable surroundings. Rulli's isn't trendy or flashy or new--it's an old-style family-owned place to get great-tasting meals. Two of us chose the spaghetti and meatballs, and we were not disappointed. I haven't had good, old-fashioned rich red tomato sauce like this in many years. Our dining companions shared a medium pineapple and ham pizza, and that turned out to be delicious and filling--in fact, it was almost too much for them. Our server Nina, the daughter of proprietor Pasquale, was friendly, pleasant, attentive and very helpful. Though we could have gone to more exciting places, we couldn't have asked for a nicer atmosphere. The restaurant was full of other diners, but tables are spaced well apart, and the noise level was comfortably low. I'm looking forward to returning so that I can sample some of the other traditional Italian dishes on the menu.

    Excellent "unknown" pizza and ragout joint. Nothing like Ciao's, but way better than Polito's, Rocco's, or Bruno's, and only slightly below Cosimo and Suzi's.

    Rulli's was about what I expected based on the previous review. It is a hometown, Italian restaurant. You get the sense that this it the type of restaurant that the regulars keep quiet about so that it can be their little secret. I went for dinner with a group of about ten. Several of us ordered wine. They have a small selection of delicious, inexpensive wines that pair well with their food. The salads that come with several of the meals are very good with their house Italian and no shortage of veggies. I ordered spagetti and meatballs and the meatballs were almost the size of baseballs! The food came out very quickly given the size of our group. I also tasted the ham and pineapple pizza which has a wonderful, sweeter sauce and generous toppings. The veggie lasagna also received rave reviews. This is the type of place to go when you want to have a leisurely dinner with friends in a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. Somewhat hidden, if you find it, you will be pleasantly surprised!
