Sherry was an absolute pleasure to work with, and Laura was there assisting the team throughout the shower. They were both tremendous. Randy has put together an excellent staff that consistently delivers delicious food, attentive service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Our family could not have been happier with how everything turned out. I would highly recommend the Smoke Rise Inn to anyone looking for a wonderful place to host their next special event! p.s. And please, please, please get an order of sweet potato fries with ranch dressing. They are the best!!

Rosa Morelli, the proprietor of Rosa's Italian Restaurant just happens to also be Our friends Mother-in-law so we all knew that we were in store for something special. Needless to say, the food was great. We started off with some fantastic and delicious appetizers, including a variety of homemade potato pizza (really good), prosciutto and mozzeralla, bruschetta, eggplant caponata, plus fruit and a variety of other tasty treats. The entrees (all served family style) including pappardelle with sausage in cream sauce, chicken francese, grilled shrimp over bracolli rabe and fusilli with vodka sauce. Amazing meal and Rosa and family could not have been nicer. Rosa's is a BYOB and there is street parking only. It is located less than a mile away from the Willowbrook Mall. By request, there was not too much meat served tonight because of the religious holiday (ash Wednesday). We ended the meal with some Italian pastries, a celebratory cake commemorating the occasion and tartufo. A great evening with long time friends and good food. Interesting note about Rosa's Italian Restaurant and Caterer. This restaurant is not generally open to the public. It is not a walk in restaurant. If you would like to come to Rosa's you have to pre-schedule your dinner in advance with at least 8 or more people (up to 40 according to Rosa) and Rosa will accommodate you. You can discuss selected entrees if you like but generally the meal will consist of the dishes that Rosa is making that day. That meal will consist of a large variety of great dishes prepared for your group and served family style. This is a very cool dining experience in a old school Italian neighborhood restaurant. Nothing fancy but very clean and comfortable. Like eating at your Italian grandmothers house. You can contact Rosa at (973) 785-9177. Bon appetito!!! 02/26/2020

I do not recommend this venue…read more We had a terrible experience with the manager. He spoke to us disrespectfully throughout the entire event, used inappropriate language, and treated our family with complete disrespect. What should have been a beautiful and unforgettable day for our little cousin's quinceañera turned into a nightmare because of the way we were treated. We are a Hispanic family, and sadly, we felt we were treated differently. Even our 15-year-old cousin, on one of the most special days of her life, was yelled at by the manager. No young girl should ever have to experience that on her quinceañera. The venue itself is nice, but customer service is just as important. Because of the way we were treated, I cannot recommend this place. I sincerely hope they improve the way they treat their guests so that no other family has to go through what we experienced.

I had to chase her for the supervisor. To add insult to injury, Rosemary was so sure of herself and her position, she mocked me behind the supervisors back as we spoke. She didn't even have enough decency and respect for her superior to act professional while the matter was being addressed. As much money spent here, a greater deal of respect, communication and customer service should have been extended to not only the wedding party, but their guest. The remaining staff, PHENOMENAL! Servers were all very polite and accommodating.The food was tasty, drinks were cold, fresh and right on time, and above all the bride and groom were happy . This is definitely a great choice for your next big event, just get the right host.

It's rare that a restaurant serves free bread anymore so we were pleasantly surprised that they brought over focaccia and Italian bread. We started with the Octopus appetizer and went with the Ravioli and the Red Snapper for our meals. The Octopus was my favorite! It was perfectly charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It had delicious capers, chorizo and black beans with a red pepper coulis -- I thought the beans sounded odd with it but ended up loving it. For dessert, we went with the bread pudding along with the Pistachio Mocha Martini and Nutella Old Fashioned. I didn't love the dessert drinks - they just weren't for me. The staff was all very friendly and even Chef Dean came out to say hello. The only thing that could potentially "improve" here are the acoustics. The TV and conversations at the bar were pretty loud and you could hear them in the dining room. And I thought it was strange that country music was playing in the background of an Italian restaurant. Overall, I loved my experience here so that wouldn't stop me from coming back.
