If you want amazing Mediterranean food and drinks, this is the place for you. For a small restaurant they have a big menu. We enjoyed the kale and Brussel sprouts salad, fried Brussel sprouts, and ravioli with duck confit. I recommend the white sangria and my friend ordered an espresso martini which she loved.

Small restaurant with homemade food and a quaint homey ambiance. Ordered 2 different pizzas as well as a pumpkin drink that had bourbon in it which was amazing! The pizzas are thin crust but unlike other thin pizzas that get very hard and painful to eat as they cool, their pizza was fantastic to eat even 5 pieces in! The pizzas has 6 small slices in it although for light eaters is enough for 2 meals. Try the duck confit pizza – you will not be disappointed!!!!

I grew up in West Hartford but somehow never wandered into Arugula until today. Boy, have I been missing out! From the moment we were greeted by the host it was clear the staff was friendly and attentive. Everything was so clean and the menu says the staff is all fully vaccinated, which made me feel even more comfortable. We sat outside and the ambience was just lovely. We felt like it was a little vacation! Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and very hardworking. We ordered the fromage plate to start and o-m-g it was to die for! Our entrees quickly followed and did not disappoint. We ordered coffee to end our dinner just so we could soak it all in a bit longer. So impressed with this place! Cannot wait to go back.

So good! We enjoyed every moment of our dinner, cocktails to dessert Some restaurants in this area can get overly loud on a Friday/Saturday night. The distinction here is that our party could hear each other speaking casually in a normal voice and the vibe is relaxed. The food is delicious- each dish beautifully presented. Enjoy!

Awesome, quaint little hidden gem! Directly across from Max Oyster bar. Amazing ambiance, super friendly and helpful staff. Food was out of this world, I do wish they had lamb on the menu besides only on the pizza though. Sherry, our waitress, was above and beyond! Recommended great foods to try. I can NOT wait to go back here!!

We had a great dinner at Arugula. We came on a Friday and didn’t have a reservation, but we’re able to be seated quickly. The service was very nice from start to finish and we never felt rushed, which I appreciate. For appetizers we enjoyed the grilled calamari and the falafel za’atar and olive dish. Both were delicious. For my meal, I had the Atlantic salmon which was a great dish. It has incredible flavor. For dessert, we tried the espresso brownie sundae which was amazing. It was a wonderful meal from start to finish! Highly recommend.

This is our second try and I’m glad we made it this time. It’s a small cozy restaurant with a great atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the best ravioli I’ve ever had. We ordered the brownie sundae for dessert and it was simply amazing. Recommended 200%
