"This charming neighborhood spot serves Northern Italian cuisine in a cozy corner restaurant. The vibe is warm and relaxed, inviting locals with their friendly air and made-in-the-basement homemade pasta. You really can’t beat homemade pasta. The drinks are also notable; unlike many Italian restaurants, Rucola doesn't shy away from a full bar. Try their New Rider cocktail made with rye whiskey, maraschino, ginger, sage, and lemon before you switch to a bottle of Northern Italian wine." - Brooklyn Digital Foundry
