According to Arugula regulars, there are really no other authentic Italian restaurants quite like it around. Not willing to take our word for it? Sample the menu for yourself! Start with the crowd-favorite grilled calamari appetizer, which is served over baby arugula with black olives, capers, chopped tomatoes, and dressed with fresh lemon juice and olive oil. As for entrees, Arugula is known for their sweet langostine, and the branzino is also a must try.

With a variety of specials each evening and seasonal menu changes, you’ll find yourself frequently returning to Arugula to try something new. You can also change it up and dine on their outdoor patio.

Arugula is BYOB so make sure to bring your favorite bottle of wine to pair with your dinner. But before you head over, be sure to make reservations, as Arugula is very popular on the weekends!

Imagine sitting down to an authentic Italian meal on the Amalfi Coast: You savor the taste of fresh, local produce, handmade pastas, and a cornucopia of quality meats and seafood. Well, that's exactly what you'll get at Arugula Ristorante, where the service and cuisine are both modeled after an authentic Italian trattoria.

This Plymouth Meeting restaurant's wood burning oven turns out expertly grilled meat and offers the white-hot heat that gives pizza crust a satisfying char. Yelp reviewers give special praise to Arugula's grilled calamari as an appetizer, and they say the restaurant's complimentary bruschetta is pretty tasty, too. For main dishes, anything with the vodka sauce gets a good review, and the veal medallions with prosciutto, sage, and mozzarella is reportedly delicious.

Note that Arugula is a BYOB, so be sure to pick up a bottle of your favorite vintage to enjoy with your meal.
