Incredibly hospitable. The interior of this restaurant is absolutely stunning. From the chandeliers to the planters to the utensils on the table, you can tell it's a well thought out setting. The bar area is gorgeous and there's even a beautiful private room for dining. Onto the menu. Their dinner menu looks incredible. They have a special pre fixed menu with a great price and a happy hour that will blow your socks off. The drink menu is exciting and the food matches. I genuinely thought the happy hour. Food menu would be small bites so we literally got one of everything. I was completely overwhelmed when everything came out and we had enough leftovers for the whole week. Everything was fantastic though, and I wouldn't have changed a thing. The pork croquettes and the pigs in a blanket were my absolute favorite. Both delicious and a twist on a classic the anti pasta salad is something I'll probably order every single time. It has everything you want and it's finally chopped with a ton of cheese on top. Where do you go wrong? The focaccia that comes with the meal is also worth noting. The spread it comes with is super tasty there chili olive oil is spicy with a nice kick. My fiancé loved the meatballs and the smashburger. After gorging ourselves on their delectable, happy hour specials, we asked if we could see the Upstairs venue area. It's a beautiful space and can hold a good amount of people for any function. I hope Bacarosa stays for a while and does well because I'm already planning my next trip there.

There is a lot of parking outside (street parking) and there are meters during the day FYI. Bring quarters. The place is so nice and cozy. Maybe 60 people fit or so but it is a nice place for a smaller occasion. Perfect for a baby shower, communion or sweet 16. About 30 mins from NYC which was convenient for NYers. I'm pretty sure when you rent the hall, its just the hall and you have to provide everything else. I highly recommend this place it is so cute.

I have been to Mamma Vittoria twice. Schools in Nutley have a lot of their student events there…read more This last time I visited was for a repass. I was pleasantly surprised that they had roast pork as one of the entrées in the buffet. I don't typically think of that being an Italian dish, but regardless it was really delicious and that made me happy! They also had chicken francaise amongst other dishes. I must say that I consider myself a chicken francaise connoisseur. Lol! That is my favorite Italian dish and what I always pick when I go to an Italian restaurant. I found this particular chicken franchise to be just OK because the chicken was on the thick side and I like it thin. I also thought there should be a bit more sauce in the container it was in. I do remember that the other time I was there the chicken francaise was thick as well. Otherwise, the restaurant is fine as they have ample parking, though the spots are tight. Service was attentive and I do recommend the restaurant for any party or event.

Because I live in Atlanta majority of the planning took place over the phone. Lorraine was simply AMAZING! Christina worked with me due to the fact that I was planning a party all the way from Atlanta. Everything was explained to me in detail. They even assisted in an area where I couldn't make a decision. The night is the event Chris was the Mgr assigned to my party and everyone on that team were beyond helpful and amazing. From the set, drinks, food, and lighting were done to perfection. We had guest arrive super late, and Chris went out his way to see if it was possible for food to be served. Food: Italian Meatballs- Great, Shrimp and Rice: Great, Pasta: Great. I was very pleased with the food. You choose 6 entree's. Dessert: Whoever Baker their cakes Great work! I got nothing but who made this cake? I would highly recommend the Brookside for any parties. They carter to you. Now, they're not cheap, but I am firm believer you pay for what you get. The service provided took care of any additional cost for the services I needed. Again, THANK YOU, Lorraine, Christina, and Chris for making my sister super surprise 40th birthday a night to remember. She is officially 40 & Flawless!

We started the party at 5pm and wanted open bar to start at 6pm, which he was very aware off. We would have it for 4 hours, 6-10.

Then at 8pm in the middle of my babyshower of 120 people while 7 months pregnant he tell bartender to let us now Party is over at 9pm!!!!! I had a entire agenda that went till 11pm !! I called him and he could care less about anything that we had to say! He told us that it's on the contract and no where on the contract did he say anything about it being over at 9pm. My fiancé called him after I had a complete meltdown and he charged us another 150 to stay an extra hour. Which he wanted in cash for some reason. I was completely disgusted !!! Do not book and if you do make sure you get everything in writing !! Oh and also, he charged my friends $300 for hall and us $400. Makes up prices as he goes. Not to be trusted.

He was very communicative--even with the 13 hour time difference, I was able to coordinate with him easily. I had my husband be taken out of the house three hours before the party to set up... the balloon arch was delivered right on time. The photographer showed up half an hour earlier than the party. The magician I wanted to hire was booked somewhere else and I only found out a few days before, but the balloon sculpture artist Mark recommended instead was an absolute hit with the kids as well as the adults, which was a pleasant surprise. He made my husband the most outrageous birthday hat. Right when he was supposed to be done, one of the kids tripped and popped his balloons and got upset, and he stayed longer to make him (and a few other stragglers) more balloons. Truly kind. The photographer David was also really so helpful, friendly, and on it! He came early and helped with some of the set up... he was attentive and also very nice to talk to. Very natural (sometimes it's awkward when a photographer's in your face taking pictures but it wasn't awkward at all). We got a USB full of pictures right after the party! Really, what a great experience. My husband had a really great time. Thank you Mark and company!
