Rucola - in Brooklyn, NY

Rucola restaurant, in Brooklyn, NYC, is intimate, trendy and cool.   Most importantly, the food is delicious and affordable.

It is a cozy restaurant where most of the patrons are in groups of four or less.  Nonetheless, I can attest that the restaurant can accommodate large parties, as I came with a party of 14.  We had a pre-set meal that began with fresh toasted bread and an appetizer dish containing meats (some type of pepperoni and prosciutto) cheese (some hard and some soft), nuts and jam spreads.  Next, we had two types of salads, one mostly lettuce and the other containing an assortment of mixed vegetables.  For the main course, we had a sampling of roasted chicken, grilled fish, pasta in pesto sauce, another pasta, and other cooked vegetables.  The meal was finished with two desserts, which I didn't really eat, but the others seemed to enjoy.   They also have a quirky drink list of beers and cocktails.  

Overall, this is a great place to eat.  It is a great place to go if you want to feel like a true Brooklyn-ite / Boerum Hill- ite.
