The pear/gorgonzola salad with fig dressing that I ordered came without lettuce. The waiter said many people recommended it be served with lettuce and I could have some arugula at a price. I think they should just serve the salad with lettuce and raise the price.4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMAnother fun, excellent eveningAnother fun, excellent evening at Arucola.
