This restaurant is always such a treat. There are so many wonderful flavours in every shape and size. It's one of those places where I actually want to try different foods outside of my comfort zone instead of sticking to old favourites.
On this visit I tried the heritage salad and shared nachos with the table. Both were amazing.
In fact Im rarely underwhelmed by the food here.
My ONLY issue I guess is that I dont think they really thought their floor plan through and those tables...
If 2 people sit at a table for 2, and even one of them orders pizza (god forbid they both wanted their own), there is not much room for another dish, or side plates or glasses....
Or if you're a young person that needs your phone on the table all of the time, youre completely out of luck (lol)
But maybe theyll figure that part out eventually.
Overall, another great experience and wonderful service!

Cheesy garlic bread for $14 was a small handful of shredded mixed cheese on a baguette. Did not taste the garlic at all and the cheese wasn't even fully melted. It was underwhelming and def not worth the price.
Ordered the lunch special - was extremely disappointed that the pizza was soggy in the center and lacked much flavour. I had to add many red pepper flakes to even give it some taste. The dessert option for gelato or biscotti was not available so I was just given a biscotti in a plastic bag - again disappointed that there were no homemade dessert options. Service seemed uninterested and unhappy, although I understand in this market good service is hard to find so can't fault them there.
For $70 for lunch for two my expectations were much higher. We will not be back.

At the last minute, we decided to go out for dinner and were recommended Arugula by a North Bay resident. We are glad we took their recommendation! We dined during the winter, and the interior was warm and inviting. We sat at a corner table beside a window and the twinkling lights outside were magical. We loved the pizza oven - it was covered in irridescent tiles. We had the Quinoa Halloumi, the Gyro Pizza and the Spaghetti and treated ourselves to the large cookie with lattes. It was delicious - and a bill for 3 was just under $80.00. Would highly recommend. Plenty of parking and the service was friendly and welcoming.

We went on a Tuesday night and this place was dead, that should have been our first clue. Ordered the sausage and olives platter (appetizer) and it was so salty we couldn’t eat it. I know that olives tend to be on the salty side but the sausage of which there was 4 small slices was beyond edible. Greek salad was no better, lettuce was bitter, dressing was too lemony with hardly any garlic taste to it and it didn’t get eaten either. Our main pizza meal was underwhelming, food here used to be good, now I know why the place was dead.

We went to Arugula about 10 of us for my husbands birthday and were very disappointed. As we walked in we did not have our masks on and got yelled at ( not very professional) my husband has a medical condition and was still forced to wear a mask. The owner and cook was NOT wearing one as she was yelling at her staff to answer phones and other orders which we could hear while dining which made our experience very uncomfortable. This used to be our favourite dinner spot, but no more !! The sausage and the nachos were not fully cooked and cold. We will Not be supporting This establishment anymore.

We made a quick stop here while in North Bay and it was fantastic. Our waitress was wonderful. The wine selection was good and quite reasonably priced. In our group we had the Caesar salad (amazing croutons and a great dressing), the arugula salad, the spinach salad and two pizzas. Everything was fresh and very tasty. The restaurant was cozy and welcoming. We would definitely return if in town.

This was our first visit to Arugula and we loved it! Their website indicates "our goal is simply to prepare traditional Neapolitan pizza brought to you by friendly staff in a stylish setting". Check, check, check! The pizza was awesome. We shared the pizza special of the day, which was a Canadian Grande. Jenna was our server, and she was super friendly and efficient. The dining room space looked great, with the pizza oven right in the middle. We opted for the patio, which is really an indoor space off the dining room, but it has big screens and overhead heaters, so you can enjoy the patio regardless of the weather. We will definitely be back to Arugulas.

Our first visit here, and without a doubt we'll be back. We split the charcuterie plate and a funghi pizza. Both were delicious and plenty for the two of us.
It was warm enough to sit on the enclosed patio overlooking a small creek. Lots of trees lent a wonderful atmosphere to the whole dinner. Our waiter, Matt, was attentive without hovering and friendly without being overly familiar.
Looking forward to a return visit to try another pizza from the extensive menu.

Absolutely horrible restaurant experience I’ve ever had. Owner Tracey is verbally abusive to customers and her staff look scared working under her leadership.
My husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time, ordered 2 gluten free pizza’s and only 1 came gluten free. We sent one back and the owner was yelling at the staff member for making the mistake and that she had to pay for the pizza.
Then when we challenged her that we didn’t want to pay for it, she told us to pay our bill and get the f$&! out - more than once.
Scary experience and concerned that this experience will happen to others.

We ate a late lunch at Arugula with several couples last Friday. The food was excellent. Great salads, pizza and appetizers. Local craft beer too and decent wine selection. Will definitely eat there again when next in North Bay.

I have had Arugula's food many times over the years as I think it is one of the best spots in North Bay. Their pizzas are fantastic but I had not tried the nachos until the other week. These are by far the best nachos in town! Will definitely be getting them again!

Although the tacos looked amazing 3 out of 4 people in our party ordered pizza. The oven is centre stage and was a welcoming sight on a cold winter night. The Vegan pizza menu is a treat. The fungi the Hawaiian pizzas were excellent. We would eat here again when in North Bay.

Great little gem. We took a ride after seeing the sign on the highway near Sturgeon Falls. We order a panini and pizza delicious. Definitely authentic Italian food. We were too full to order the dessert pizza!

So nice to have more vegetarian-friendly options available in North Bay. This was my first visit, with out-of-town veg friends.
Lots of options--everything we had was very good.
Not huge servings, but fine--very fresh, nicely presented, good service--friendly & efficient.
We'll be back--and I, who live nearby, will be back with in-town friends as well.

Was looking for a place for lunch and came across this place on TripAdvisor. We were not disappointed...had a few items on the menu and everything was excellent. Parking was a bit challenging in the odd shaped parking lots. They also had a nice selection of wines. Go for the pizza...they all looked amazing!
