The waiter is very knowledgeable about all of the daily specials and has so many stories about the history of the restaurant. The owner also came out to personally ask us about our meal. Food: - fried calamari- crispy and well seasoned - roasted whole artichoke - fun appetizer to split with a large group. Could have less breading - rigatoni bolognese- huge portion, perfectly al dente pasta with a heavy ladle of bolognese. One of my favorite bolognese!

From being greeted by Rich, the Maitre D / bartender, meeting the owner and our great waiter Tony (formerly of Spirito's) it was an enjoyable experience for all. The food was excellent (don't miss the Calamari Cino and the fresh Burrata special), service outstanding and the prices fair for the great meal. We will definitely be back soon to meet other friends from the area when coming down from Bergen county. Was definitely worth the short 35 minute trip! Thanks for a great night of food and hospitality!

The place is BYOB and when the weather is nice they have a ton of outdoor seating. It's a good place for date night and has a friendly neighborhood vibe where everyone knows each other. I have been there 3 times now and my experience is always consistent

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.

This place was recommended to me, and after eating here I'm scratching my head trying to figure out…read morewhy. I ordered the pumpkin gnocchi and my husband ordered a pizza with sausage. The gnocchi tasted nothing like pumpkin. The sauce it was supposed to come in was pesto and Gorgonzola. There was zero Gorgonzola in that dish. The pesto sauce was watery and bland. The dish wasn't good at all. My husband didn't care for their pizza either. You could barely see any sausage on it, and they were stingy with the cheese. The sauce had no flavor either. We definitely wouldn't come back. I definitely don't recommend coming here.

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.

Hello, long story cut a little short.... So I found out about this place a long time ago and not…read moredecided to go here until recently and I am so glad we went. Soon as we walked we were greeted by the host that was really nice. The restaurant gives me an old school feel to it like homey. It has "Garlic" in it and they don't play about it. The garlic never overpowered anything we had because if you cook with garlic and it could be a lot. From the bread and I think that was pesto but I could be wrong that was good. I always had my eye on the "French onion pork chop" and it was delicious. It definitely lived up to my standards. French Onion soup is my favorite soup so when you add pork to it.... *chefs kiss* Lastly I had the chocolate mouse cake and that was really good.

To start they bring over a warm loaf of bread and garlic knots. Dinners are served with you choice of salad or soup. We both had the house salad which really is nicely composed . For mains my wife had the Salmon Mediterranean which is sautéed with olives, capers and onions in a red sauce. My wife said it was delicious. I had the Rudy's Sunday Sauce over rigatoni served with meatballs, sausage and braciole with a dollop of ricotta on top. Delicious. Not only does the food come out quickly and piping hot, but the portion are huge. Neither of us could finish our meal, so we had plenty of leftovers. They do have a liquor license , but no bar and the waiters make a great drink. Lauren our waitress was amazing. Rick the owner makes sure he visits every table and spends some time with his patrons.
