" I was a bit underwhelmed despite the raving reviews. The service was friendly, but my plate was awkwardly small for the price. While everything was fine, it lacked a certain wow factor. Atmosphere was lively, but I felt a bit lost in the crowd. Not sure if I’ll be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my recent visit to Rucola, although there were a few hiccups. The food was flavorful, but certain dishes like the eggplant sandwich were a bit on the dry side. It was crowded, which made the service slower than expected. Regardless, the atmosphere was bustling, and I found it a charming neighborhood spot. I may return but perhaps not during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" This spot has quickly become a favorite! The pasta dishes are incredible; I got the campanelle and it was both hearty and delicious. The ambiance feels well thought out, a great place for brunch with friends. Everyone was very attentive, making it a pleasant dining experience. Definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I feel like the menu lacks variety. While I’ve enjoyed the food on previous visits, this time the choices felt limited to typical flavors. Still, the service remains stellar and I appreciate the atmosphere they have created. Hoping for a better selection next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a charming place! The ambiance is inviting, making it great for a casual dinner. We had pizzas and pastas for the table; overall flavors were delightful, although some portions were smaller than I anticipated. The service was personable, adding a lovely touch to the evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" Found this gem purely by accident, and what a delightful surprise! The handmade pasta was one of the best I’ve had in New York. The vibe was casual yet classy, perfect for any occasion. The staff was engaging and helpful with menu selections. I will highly recommend Rucola to anyone visiting Brooklyn for its fresh and authentic taste. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Rucola and while the ambiance was lovely, the food left something to be desired. My risotto felt undercooked, but the service was very attentive, which I appreciated. I might give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
