Rucola in Chiltern

Very authentic Italian restaurant. All staff are Italian and make for a very special time. Our first time there, recommended by a friend it was our 40th wedding anniversary and we said we would go back just for the staff! However, so Quant was the sweet trolley (can't remember the last time I saw one of those). Loved it and would highly recommend.

Great local Italian. Fresh cooked food, long special board. Staff are excellent. About £30 per person including drinks.

This is probably the best Italian restaurant I have ever been in with in the UK. I used to travel to Italy 3 times a year before Covid and i understand the qualities of true Italian food. All the staff where friendly and attentive. I will be visiting again 100% ,

It's not Zizzi, Ask Italian or another pleasant but formulaic High Street brand, it's a proper Italian dining experience, sweet trolley and all. More expensive than the familiar names but worth every penny.

This was the second visit to Rucola for my wife and me and, just like the last time, we were super impressed. The food and service were both amazing. The staff are helpful and professional, but the stand out thing is that the customer service runs like clockwork.

Went with my wife and friends Dave and Elaine the food was amazing. The owner was chatty and very attentive. Great service Great food at a Great price …… Highly recommended

Nice Italian in at the end of the shops in Little Chalfont. Pleasant waiting staff. Main menu plus specials. Only 4 stars as think it's a bit pricey but otherwise good.

Rude, rude, rude owner and unfriendly atmosphere.Booked a table for five at 7pm for my family, and on arrival was met at the door by a bar man who stared straight through me and turned around without acknowledging my existence.A minute later the owner arrived and simply said to me before saying hello that he did not like having families after 8pm. He did not ask how I was or welcome me, he seemed perturbed by the existence of my 5year old and sleeping baby. I asked why he did not welcome families and he turned to me to say took offence at my question. The rudest and least welcoming experience I have had in a restaurant.In fairness the place looked busy so might be ok to eat at, but the staff looked stressed and grumpy, and this seems to be all due to a grumpy owner.Avoid if you want a friendly smile and happy atmosphere.

The food here is simply divine. Every dish we sampled from the menu was incredibly delicious. The specials board which is presented to each table individually had some great choices too and comes with an explanation from the staff. Most unique is the desert trolley which is a fun spectacle and holds pretty awesome sweets.

Very friendly and experienced team delivering tasty and heart warming food from the kitchen. And definitely check out the sweets trolley!!! They serve a most interesting bread and butter pudding using panettone 😍
