    We were pleasantly surprised having dinner at Arugula. Driving by the restaurant hundreds of times without trying it finally got a notice by us for a try. The food was very good. My side of spaghetti with red sauce was the BEST side of spaghetti I have ever had in any restaurant! I had the veal piccatta which was really good. The veal was thin, and the sauce was very flavorful. My wife is vegetarian. She was afraid she wasn't going to find something on the menu. She ordered a wonderful entree of vegetarian risotto which she is still talking about. The service was great, and the bill was quite reasonable. We brought our own bottle of wine that we had imported from Tuscany which was the perfect complement to our meal (we didn't waste a good bottle of wine on so-so food).

    Food and service are always excellent at my favorite BYOB. The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because of the noise. This neighborhood gem is in a small strip shopping area and the acoustics simply aren’t great. Nevertheless, it won’t stop me from dining here as often as possible.

    Food and service here is always good, however one of us ordered steak which had more fat than actual meat. We probably wouldn’t order steak here again, but the seafood is always fabulous.
