Lovely surprise. Small intimate venue . Delicious food , good. Service ; welcoming and warm staff . A family Resturaunt. Came away happy .

Great food and impeccable service! Small family owned restaurant atmosphere greatly recommend! Pasta homemade and perfectly cooked al dente.

What a gem! A real authentic Italian restaurant with true Italian dishes!! I had Tagliatelle Vesuvio which was just sublime!! I highly recommend Rucoletta for a real feel for Italian food and hospitality!

Went at lunchtime today to celebrate our daughter's birthday. One waitress had an unpleasant manner, mixed up an order with no apology and was impatient and abrupt. We have enjoyed going several times before but won't be going back.

Excellent Italian fare eclipsed only by the fantastic service we received. Unfortunately, I can’t remember our servers name, but she was originally from Naples and Milan. Very attentive, friendly, and efficient. Highly recommend this place without reservation. (The server worked the upstairs room).

Another leisurely late lunch here, where you are be left alone to eat, drink and catch up without being chased out. Service was good, food great and atmosphere welcoming comfortable. Its good Italian food in the City of London so not a budget eatery, but Rucoletta is a place I am very happy to recommend and return to.

This small, independent restaurant was a great find and we will definitely be coming back. Conveniently located on a quiet street near St Paul’s the food was superb and the service was excellent. A special mention for Odette, our waitress, who looked after us so. She made us feel very welcome and gave excellent advice on the menu

If you’re not looking for a highly sophisticated dinner, but rather fancy a decent, simple, though genuine Italian dining experience, then this is the place to be. I took a gorgeous spaghettoni alla Luciana (home made pasta with baby octopus slowly cooked in tomato sauce, olives and capers) as main dish with a nice glass of Frascati wine. The panna cotta was a great dessert. Also worthwhile to mention the flawless, quick and very friendly service. A simple, but excellent dinner.

The food was good but not amazing, not great value for the price. The restaurant space was quite tight and it’s hard to get the attention of staff. The bread and olives are nice, with a few different types of bread like seeded and some containing nuts. The starters were big enough to share but the ratio of vegetables to the portion size was too small which lead them them running out quickly. This pattern follows with the mains but the dish was well cooked in all. The best part was definitely the dessert. They were light and not too rich with the show stopper of the Tiramisu. I would recommend this place for a more relaxing dessert and wine evening hangout.
