Rufus: A Journey of Passion from Tirana to Amsterdam

We are an Italian-Albanian family with a passion for authentic food, shaped by the last ten years spent in Tirana. During this time, we discovered the rich flavors of Albania, sharing our Apulian culinary heritage in a cultural exchange that deepened our love for food as an expression of art and tradition. Amsterdam has always been close to our hearts, with its open-mindedness and welcoming spirit, making it the perfect place to blend our roots with the city's international charm. Our restaurant, named after our beloved dog Rufus, also pays tribute to a dear friend, symbolizing the start of this exciting new journey where we hope to share our passion with you.
