    The food and the service is always outstanding. By no fault of Arugula, the rude (mostly women) very loudly communicating with each other, tends to make the noise level extremely high, especially when the restaurant is full.

    We enjoyed a delicious lunch served by our patient & attentive server, Ray. It was a 1:00 reservation on a Monday making for a quiet enjoyable lunch. The portion was large enough to take leftovers for dinner and reasonably priced.

    Arugula is a “go to” local dining spot for us. The food and the service is always consistent. The best tartufo ever! With many “loud talkers” the restaurant can sometimes be noisy.

    Very disappointing Saturday night dinner. Ordered the $37 whole Bronzino that was for filleted in the kitchen. It came out on a plate by itself with no sides, or vegetables of any kind and was literally five bites. We could not get any attention from server until we were finished the main course and the answer for why the dish was so small was it depends on the size of the Bronzino. Obviously the restaurant selected the size of the Bronzino so that is unacceptable. Server said he would check to see if it should have included vegetables came back and said it should have. We then ordered dessert for which we were charged and given one slice of cheesecake to take home at no charge. Very disappointing experience and I left hungry.

    This was a Saturday night out with friends who'd never been here before. The greeting at the door was enough to sell them on it, but the night just kept getting better. The many fine choices on the menu and the interesting specials made it hard to order, but we managed. The grilled calimari appetizer is superb - several large but tender pieces on a bed of arugula and tomatoes, and 3 of the 4 of us had it. Among us, we had the pasta spcial, risotto, the daily fish special, and a veal dish all of which were excellent. We even split a chocolate cake slice for dessert. As always, the staff are a pleasure - happy, skilled, and caring. Come here and enjoy!

    First of all, the Hostess was lovely and very accommodating; she made us feel welcome. I was meeting a friend that I hadn't seen in a long time; and since we would be "catching-up", I asked that we have a somewhat private table. We had the perfect table! The service was great. The staff saw that we were talking to each other quite a bit so they took into consideration when we were served. The food, as always, was delicious! It was a very nice experience for lunch on Halloween! My friend agreed, as it was her first time at Arugula, that the food was delicious and the atmosphere pleasant. Thank you.

    Been here often but this was the first time in the past 4 visits that I was disappointed in. My pollo parm was small, tough and lacked taste. Soooo disappointing. Mista salad was drenched in dressing even though I requested it be on the side. Side of pasta was generous and tasty but never came back to offer more cheese. Never brought pepper flakes. Waited 10 minutes for a knife. Nice free bruschetta but bread as always is awful. Service was disappointing but expected.

    Arugula never fails in providing a great meal and tonight was no exception. We dropped in early after work and the restaurant was already buzzing. Ray our server graciously reviewed the specials - we shared the arugula salad special and each enjoyed pappardelle w shrimp and scallops in red. Fabulous!!!!! Can’t wait to go back!!!

    My friend is now an Arugula convert and has already made a reservation for some of her friends for a birthday party! Thank you for saving us a tartufo. My friend who travels to Italy often said this was the best tartufo she has ever eaten! But then I already know how wonderful Arugula is; a favorite go to restaurant.

    What a wonderful dinner! Our appetizers were sooo fine - grilled octopus on canelllini beans, calimari fritti, and a caprese salad got us all in the mood for more food. Then the risotto plus 3 pasta dishes did the job well, and we couldn't have been happier. Arugula is spotless, comfortable, and a true joy if you love Italian food - or even if you don't, since it's had to imagine not being able to find something on the menu to please almost anybody. The staff are friendly, professional, and skilled. We love the place.

    Nice place to eat and BYOB. Food was good but was very heavy on the butter. Dishes could use more seasoning (not butter) to bring out the natural flavors of my fish dish and also on the pasta dishes, which were a bit bland. The atmosphere and staff were nice.

    We have being dining at Arugula for many years. The food has always been excellent. This evening was an exception. The Chicken parm looked like a large flat overcooked pancake with a slice of cheese barely melted. Lamb chop special was sparse, chewy and fatty. The pasta shrimp entree was good. Our waiter checked with us half way through dinner. He offered to replace our meals. We asked that he pass our comments on to the chef. The food was disappointing and not up to your high quality and standards. As always, the service was exceptional!! The evening will not influence us returning to Arugula😊
