    The pic probably doesn't do it justice cuz I already scarfed down half, and I LOVE pepper (sorrynotsorry)....

    You get a little bit of everything here... formal, semi formal/casual, and a small high top/bar area... I'm in all different Facebook groups about food across NJ... the drunken chicken parm (vodka sauce) is THE BEST IN NJ THERES NOT A QUESTION ABOUT IT! Everything on the menu is perfect no matter what you order. Not a huge menu, but more than enough to choose from. Great for my small family and I to dine for birthdays and holidays.

    Service is very attentive and on point. No rush between dishes. Stuff mushrooms with cream sauce was very good. We had the manicotti ricotta stuffing was nice and creamy with a nice thin pasta. Stuff flounder was full crabmeat and nice lemon sauce. Crème Brûlée for dessert was creamy and just had the right sweet taste. Highly recommend reservation and parking is limited there is street parking.

    It's cozy, with separate rooms offering completely different vibes from an intimate, romantic Italian setting to a lively bar area with Latin music. The food was delicious, and the portions were huge. Our server was fantastic and even treated us to a delicious sorbet, which was a lovely surprise. Plus, there's a convenient parking lot right next door, making the whole experience even better.

    We came here for Christmas Eve, so there was a limited menu that night. Very nice place, big and I think they even do karaoke there. I am not too familiar with Italian food so it always takes me awhile to figure out what to eat. I am not big on pasta as it usually doesn't sit well with my tummy. We were given a basket of bread with seasoned olive oil. It was good but tried to resist since I didn't want to get full off of bread haha. We also got a small house salad, it was good. I don't think the lettuce was as fresh but I still finished it haha. I got: COLOSSAL SHRIMP COCKTAIL With Homemade Cocktail Sauce MP per Shrimp Really yummy! Omg the the shrimp was sooo meaty! WOrth it, And the sauce was also amazing, we started dipping our bread in it. My friend got: LOBSTER RAVIOLI Ravioli Stuffed with Lobster Meat in a Lobster Cream Sauce I had a bite, it was delicious! My friend got: NONNA'S LASAGNA Loaded with Fresh Pork & Beef Meat Sauce Ricotta and Mozzarella I didn't try it but they devoured it haha. My friend got: CHICKEN PARMIGIANA Breaded Chicken, Marinara and Fresh Mozzarella, served over Linguini I got: SALTIMBOCCA Pan Sauteed Topped with Prosciutto, Artichoke Hearts & Mozzarella with a Marsala Wine Sauce Over a Bed of Spinach with Roasted Potato, but I think I got mashed potatoes, which is fine. This dish was really delicious. I couldn't finish it but it was great leftovers! The only thing I didn't like was that we waited a very very long time for our food. We tried to be understanding since it was a holiday and extremely busy, but would have been nice to be checked on at least. There was a point we did feel forgotten. Also, a table that came after us, did get their food before us.

    Went here with family for dinner. Food is absolutely delicious, fresh & hot. Best calamari I've had in a long time. Other apps we tried mozzarella and stuffed mushrooms. Bread for the table comes with seasoned oil. I was full by the time my huge entree came- veal parmesan, pounded thin on the bone- best around. It lasted another meal to take home. Speaking of best around the around the tiramisu so fresh! Tables were a bit close together but didn't feel crowded. Our server was excellent. This will be my new go to for Italian.

    I hate to give this place one star but the service was absolutely terrible. I went here on a Saturday night at 5:30 and they were pretty busy. The hostess was frazzled and said to check the bar for seats which we did. There were two seats available and set for dining. The bartender then asked if we had a reservation for the bar and we said no. She got very upset and how were we supposed to know you can reserve spots at the bar. The bartender was more rude than the hostess but neither of them were kind or particularly helpful. It would take a lot to convince me to come back here and it's a shame since I love the food.

    We've been here twice now, whilst visiting family. We've had a lovely experience both times. We've ordered all types of cuisine and it's all been delicious. The service has always been top notch. We love the old school Italian decor and feel of the place. Small private parking lot.

    We loved the atmosphere, the food was great. Really good service and excellent drinks. I'd definitely go back

    Been coming here for a long time and it's always a great spot for any occasion! The food is consistently delicious and you can tell is made fresh. Atmosphere is nice but also a fun environment in the area near the bar as they have TVs as well as music on the weekends. Staff is nice and accommodating. Some of my favorites are the eggplant rollatine and mozzarella en carozza. The drinks are also delicious!!

    To say I was disappointed in this place is an understatement…read more My spouse and I went there more than once and we enjoyed the atmosphere and the food very nice, quiet and respectful place. Unfortunately not today. The server seemed inexperienced and was not attentive to the customer's needs and when she was confronted , she didn't care. The Owner for some reason brought their children to the establishment and they were uncontrollable, yelling and screaming bumping into tables, not a good atmosphere for a restaurant. If you own an establishment, I would suggest hire a babysitter. To have children yelling and screaming, it kills the atmosphere. And ruins the experience. PLUS WE WERE SO CLOSE TO THE OVEN Where they make the pizza so they saw us waiting they LITERALLY served everyone else around us except for our table. Lastly when we were finally served, they only sent us one order MIND YOU only after we complained when we had 4 at the table who ordered and we were waited for said Orders for the past 35 minutes. I TOLD THEM NO...take it back please why would take one order after waiting that long..... That was the last straw for me, I asked for the check and left... No one said sorry and no one cared im hoping the color of our skin wasn't a factor but these days its not impossible. This was a very disappointing, disgusting and unfortunate experience. I will not be returning to this establishment nor recommend anyone to come.

    Garlic Rose really knows what they're doing. No, seriously. Having garlic in your name means that…read moreI'm entering with the mindset of garlic being the main event, and I definitely wasn't disappointed. Upon sitting down for dinner you're greeted with warm bread paired with their Garlic Rose dipping sauce AND an entire head of roasted garlic. I love roasted garlic, but that dipping sauce had me hooked and was what I kept going back for. It was bright, garlic forward, and just so addicting to the point I'm sure I consumed about three heads of garlic and a loaf of bread just to myself -- and that was only the beginning. For appetizers, you MUST get the Angels on Horseback. Shrimp, crab and bacon all in one dish - you can't go wrong. I just wish I ordered a plate of this for only myself so I didn't have to share with the table. I also opted for the pre fixe dinner set that came with another appetizer, allowing me to try their beet salad. It was a generous portion and exactly what I was looking for! Garlic Rose's menu has a pretty bold statement on it: that their pork chops are the best you'll ever have. After seeing a French onion pork chop on their menu, I just knew I had to try that one and put their claims to the test. One word: WOAH. Not only was the pork chop extremely juicy, it was packed with flavor and you definitely get the French onion soup feel. All the elements of French onion soup are on your plate, from the cheese, the deep beefy flavor of the broth, and even a piece of bread underneath to soak up all the sauce that you were missing. The surprise came when I cut into my pork chop and realized there were layers of sliced onion underneath the broiled cheese, allowing me to fully get that onion flavor. Safe to say there were no leftovers on my plate, as I licked it clean. Another star dish that surprised us was the Calabrian Shrimp, Spaghetti, and Filet Mignon tips. The sauce packed a punch, but the shocker was the filet mignon being tender and having a delicious, smoky flavor that perfectly complimented the dish. I'm still dreaming about it! I wish I had a larger stomach so I could try the entirety of Garlic Rose's menu in one sitting, but I guess I'll have to settle with multiple visits in the future. This is some amazing Italian food that you MUST try if you're ever in the Cranford area!

    Only the nose knows Garlic Rose. I met up with an old friend at the old Rose - we both reminisced…read moreabout going to the one in Madison, which is closer and thus why I haven't yet been to this one. Fortunately, I can say not much has changed. * Inviting atmosphere, a nice tone for a "casual formal" meal - low lit but not overly elegant. * Prompt and friendly service, refilling water whenever requested. * I asked, they delivered: refills on bread and garlic bulbs if you wish. Because if you're at the Garlic Rose and you're not devouring clove after melty clove of roasted garlic, why are you even here? Of course, I only ordered food with garlic. The garlic chowder, hot and full of flavor. Garlic pasta: beef short rib ravioli. Splurge a little. What a flavorful filling. Back in the day, we'd get a bunch of garlic pastas and entrees to pass around. The only caveat: no garlic desserts. I've had garlic ice cream before at garlic festivals. It can be done, Rose. Make it so. The verdict: Make sure to invite the whole family, otherwise you'll be sitting alone for a few days.
