This restaurant continues to surprise me. I have been to Arugula six times and each time the quality of the dishes amazes me. Inventive cuisine with a fresh-Med bent. Service is always friendly and spot on. It is unfortunate that so many customers flock to the over — hyped restaurants in the Center. They don’t know what they’re missing. The Ful Mudamus is a starter but can be a meal in itself. The Fatoosh is fresh and flavorful, and the Flatbreads are always delicious and generously topped. I had a simple patty melt cooked an even medium rare with a touch of sweetness. I brought it home and it was even better cold as a snack. You ought to try Arugula. The chef/owner works so very hard and there is a certain optimism in her food in the way it speaks for itself.

Great food! Flavors you won’t find at many other restaurants. Love the Israeli couscous, fish and meats. Flatbreads are very goods as well. Mussels appetizer was great, and the Mediterranean sampler appetizer is filling and delicious! They don’t serve hard alcohol but have a large beer and wine selection. Great date night restaurant!

We hadn’t been to Arugula for, well, let’s say it was pre-Blue Back & West Hartford Renaissance. Arugula was excellent then and remains so to this day. The dining space is small, which I believe allows attention to detail and service. The atmosphere is quaintly warm and softly lit, Tonight we were seated comfortably and promptly served beverages and a piping hot baguette with olive oil. Our server, Scott, let us pace the rate of service which is always appreciated. Opting for the grilled calamari & accompanied salad — again nicely paced, not rushed. With beverages and appetizer fading, the main course served & glasses replenished. Flank Steak and a Creamed Cod. Portions were not overwhelming leaving a sense of satisfaction and not discomfort.

Love this spot! Service is always great and the food even better. I order the fruit tart every time– enough for several people. Love the salads too; they could be a light meal on their own.
