Villa Rose Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in Ludlow

Mother’s Day brunch was delicious and worthy of the price tag (*see below for allergy information.) Service was excellent. Seating was extremely tight, but tolerable. However, if you arrived after your party there was absolutely no way to get past the huge crowd at the door to join your table. Another couple from another party and I had to sneak in the side door or we would not have eaten. Buffet set up was tight and awkward with no clear flow. *Food was NOT LABELED, a huge problem for myself, daughter and many others with food allergies. People were guessing whether a dish was quiche or French toast!?! Dessert table was a mess due to pies in tin plates, spoons falling into dishes, desserts dripping into other dishes, and again - nothing was labeled.

Overall the experience was incredibly disappointing and we...

We were greeted upon arrival not by one but by two separate staff members in a professional and curious manner. My husband and I had our two kids in tow and the waitress took time to answer any questions they had and made the experience exceptional. Drinks were prompt and regularly refilled. The weekend specials and chicken parm cooked to perfection. We tried the chourice bruschetta and were not disappointed. My teen said she would order again for her meal she enjoyed it to much. The Chicken parm was spot on as always, the sauce has a nice flavor and the chicken crust cooked to perfection. The osso bucco over mash. Popping hot and my husband cleaned his plate. Our son is a typical twelve year old and asked for a burger and was thrilled with the seasoning on the fires. Highly recommend and...
