Pizzeria - Osteria "La Rucola" Review done by Sherry Spina Travel Riviera Maya
Calle 26 between 5th Ave & 10th Ave.
Hours: 5-ish to 12am
CLOSED WEDNESDAY

This is very good authentic Italian.  We frequent this restaurant without hesitation. The pizzas are very nice, they are the thin crust typical in Italy. One pizza is good for one person usually.
Playa has many Italian's working and living in Playa. La Rucola has a wonderful Itailan chef. They change their menu every 2 months...so I will give you some ideas of the menu but I am certain it will continue to change.
Examples of offerings and prices:
Bresaola with rocket leaf and goat cheese $67 pesos
Caprese with black olives $65 pesos
Pastas: Risotto with sweet onions, shrimp and thyme. $88 pesos
Baked Penne with fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese $85 pesos
They also have a selection of meat and fish: Ny beef plates and fresh fish prepares in various ways $95 pesos to $190 pesos. They have other fresh salads and a few desserts.
THE PIZZAS: They have many combination choices ranging in price from $64 pesos to $82 pesos.
It is down in the newer section of Playa that is growing and is a nice change from 5th Avenue. You will recognize the light blue tables and chairs with blue and white checkered table clothes. We have been caught going here twice a week. Fabio and Stefania are the very nice owners and Marco is the nightly chef.
La Rucola... try it! We like it!
