Best Historic Restaurants in Elmwood Park

Wonderful experience from food to service no doubt 5 stars all around I strongly recommend

I booked this reservation for my daughter and her husband to celebrate her 28th birthday. I sent a note ahead of time letting the restaurant staff know and they were very timely in responding back stating they would make her experience special. Well I’m so very pleased to report back that they both had an AMAZING night! They stated the food was fabulous however, even better was how they were treated by your entire servers/team. Thank you Rose Mary staff as I truly believe she had a very memorable birthday this year all because of your attention to detail and for going above and beyond. Absolutely incredible!! And I will be certain to share out their experience with others so they patronize your place as well. Cheers, Pam

The ambience speaks for it's self. We got the privilege to be seated right next to fountain and it was breathtaking. Felt like we were sitting in a Piazza. We started our meal with the burrata appetizer, and it was absolutely delicious. The bread was perfectly crispy, complementing the fresh, high-quality ingredients beautifully. For our entrées, we had the charred ribeye—one of the best steaks I’ve ever had—cooked to perfection with incredible flavor. We also tried the fried chicken sandwich, which was crispy, juicy, and satisfying, paired with creamy mashed potatoes and perfectly seasoned fries. To finish, we indulged in the butterscotch brûlée, which was rich, silky, and had just the right amount of sweetness. The drip coffee and chai tea latte were the perfect pairings, rounding out an exceptional dining experience. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, and we loved every bite!

Had a wonderful time. We checked in for a birthday dinner, and the hostess inquired whose birthday it was and greeted the birthday boy warmly, as did our server when she came to our table to greet us. Everything was delicious. We had the Prosciutto and warm bread, fried artichokes, rigatoni amatriciana, the NY strip and the roasted romanesco. Highly recommend the artichokes and the rigatoni, just outstanding. We had 2 cocktails, both delicious, and the pistachio gelato (one serving is enough for 2 people to share). They had 2 glasses of prosecco brought out for a birthday toast. We will definitely be back. The pricing is standardly high on the food side, but that is to be expected these days.

Everything was incredible. Great wine, food, and service.
