Best Bistros in Verona, New Jersey

Five of us dined here for the prix fix Thanksgiving. The place has a comfortable atmosphere, fitting for the restaurant name. We had a reservation and were promptly seated and met our server, who was friendly and prompt throughout. She gave us a few minutes to settle in for wine choices and brought the included cocktail. Starters included a savory celeriac soup and a salad big and flavorful enough for a meal. Main was a traditional turkey breast dinner with standout silky mashed potatoes and gravy served in whimsical gravy boats. Desserts included an oversized apple crumble and classic pumpkin pie. Everyone agreed we would do it again if we were in NYC for Thanksgiving. We also would go back for the regular menu.

It’s always an amazing experience at The Garlic Rose. They have unbelievable service and food consistently. I’ve never been disappointed in all my years dining here. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic meal out.

Very enjoyable. Great food. Wonderful service. We will definitely return.

We had a great brunch...love the vibe in this restaurant. All of the dishes were very good. Coffees were great. Service was excellent. Going to go back and try it for dinner.

The pizza is excellent the main reason we go. We have ordered some of the dinner specials and really enjoyed them as well. The tables are too small and it takes maneuvering glasses dishes and utensils and condiments to eat however it’s still cramped. They are always busy so be prepared to be rushed so they can turn over a table. We were still sitting at our table when they set up a second table onto our table and started moving our coat and purse off our chair to work around us. 4th time eating there and 3 out of 4 times I felt rushed but the food is very good pizza is great and everyone is friendly.
