    We had an excellent dinner at Arugula Ristorante! Our server was great, he suggested some menu items to try which were delicious. Our meals arrived timely, very hot and fresh. The portions were huge, we all ended up bringing leftovers home. Arugula Ristorante is a great little BYOB!

    A great Mothers Day experience at Arugula. The special branzino stuffed with crab and red peppers was absolutely delicious. The veal chop was also very nice. Antonella, our server, did a great job as usual and Antonino, the owner, also makes sure everyone is taken care of.

    I would argue it's the best Italian restaurant I have even visited. I live an hour away, yet come here because it is so worth the trip. The food is simply superb. Fresh, high quality, and prepared to perfection. The service is friendly and efficient. I really can't say enough about Arugula. If you haven't been there yet, go now.

    No need for reservation s on Wednesday. We were the only ones there from 5- 5:30. Food was great and the service was spectacular. Unfortunately it's just one large room with ok chairs, drab walls and ugly curtains.
