Rucola is a small, beautiful restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. The menu offers a range of options, including pasta, quinoa, and country breakfast. The restaurant is known for its wine selection, with a knowledgeable server who can help choose the perfect bottle. The food is delicious, with highlights including sourdough bread and Maldon big flakey salt. Visitors often enjoy the pork sandwich, which has been described as the best bite of food in a while, and the Lumache pasta with cauliflower. The chef's selection of meats, cheeses, and olives served with pear puree sauce is also highly praised. Desserts like chocolate pudding and pie are well balanced and enjoyable. The outdoor seating area is cute, but it may be affected by external circumstances, and the busy atmosphere can make it loud at times. The lighting decor features old bicycle and oxcart wheels, adding to the cozy vibe. The staff is friendly and attentive, and interactions with the chef and serving team are often appreciated. Overall, Rucola is a favorite local spot for a cozy dinner, perfect for a meal with friends or a romantic evening out.
