My husband and I live in New York – Arugula is our favorite restaurant in CT! We dine there every time we’re in town visiting family. It’s a small restaurant, so it’s cozy, warm, beautifully decorated, and a great place for a romantic dinner. The cuisine is magical - You can tell the chef put her heart and soul into this bistro. Must Have’s: the roasted eggplant and wonton napoleon, the grilled calamari, the duck confit and Andouille sausage flat bread, and the Chilean Sea Bass or the Seared Tuna entrees. Bring your appetites however; the portions are quite generous (and priced reasonably)! The waiters are very helpful in explaining the four-page menu (!) and with offering recommendations; they are also very attentive without being intrusive. No liquor is served, but there is a wonderfully eclectic wine list (also affordable and approachable). If wine is not your preference, there are many artisanal style beers to choose from as well. And lastly, the desserts – ohhhh the desserts to die for – Three words to remember: CHOCOLATE VOODOO CAKE! I’ve never had anything better! Go there – you’ll love it!

Pros: Excellent value for such amazing food, service and atmosphere

Cons: Parking can be tricky, no bar
