    Should be 10 Stars!

    If I could give this Venue 10 stars I would. Our reception was fabulous. We received so many compliments from guests about the beautiful setting, quality of food and service. Quentin and John go above and beyond to make the entire experience the best and are so easy to work with. And all of this for a very affordable price.

    Quentin is very professional as is all the staff. From the initial visit to the night of, no detail is forgotten. The night of the reception he is there to ensure everything goes as planned. I simply cannot say enough good things about Rose of the Hill!

    I strongly recommend it for any occasion. Favazza's food is amazing!

    Amazing Experience

    We had the most amazing experience at Rose of the Hill. We got engaged and planned our wedding during the pandemic. We got married in March of 2021 at Rose of the Hill. They were so incredibly responsive from the time we reached out to see the venue down to the day of the event. We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and I credit it their attention to detail and organization. John and Quentin are both so friendly, organized and responsive. Quentin was so fantastic the day of the wedding. He kept everything moving smoothly and on time. He really is amazing. The food and overall experience was just outstanding. Our family and friends are still talking about how they loved the food and how much fun they had at the event. We can't recommend them enough!

    Magical Experience with Excellent Service!

    Rose of the Hill made everything about planning a wedding reception easy! Quinten, the manager, was professional, friendly, and on top of everything! He made the process a breeze and made you feel extremely taken care of even before the event. I never had to worry about a thing. He coordinated reception flawlessly. The reception venue was decorated beautifully as apart of the dinner package that we chose. They had roses and candles everywhere, which when paired with the dark wood and hand-painted italian murals, made the perfect ambiance for the night. The food was amazing and Favazza’s out did themselves once again! We had the Sicillian chicken, butter and garlic cavatelli pasta, and roasted vegetables. They were very good about catering to the gluten free folks as well! I definitely would highly recommend Rose of the Hill as the perfect place for a magical italian wedding reception!

    Rose of the Hill by Favazza's Restaurant and Catering's reply:

    Mary,
    Thank you for a wonderful review. Very glad you were happy with our food and service. Especially glad you mentioned Quentin and his coordinating. He does a wonderful job and never misses details.

    I can not say enough good things about the Rose of the Hill. I recently had my wedding reception there and it was perfect. The venue is beautiful and the food was delicious. Quentin was very professional and made planning easy. Me and my family were very impressed by the service the day of the wedding. I was not feeling well at the beginning of the reception and Quentin went out of his way to make sure I was okay and even went to Favazzas to get whatever I needed. We have received many compliments on our wedding, especially the venue and food. If you want a beautiful, unique venue with excellent service and food, go with Rose of the Hill.

    I cannot say enough how happy we were working with Rose of the Hill for our wedding! We were planning from across the country and Quintin made the process so easy and seamless. With just a few meetings and a couple phone calls, every detail was worked out just perfectly. Any question we had was met with a prompt, straightforward answer. Quintin is a true professional! We were able to bring in various vendors to make our night extra special and the Rose was accommodating to them all. On the night of our wedding, the venue was gorgeous and Quintin catered to our every need all night long. And the food, goodness, the food is phenomenal. We did a family-style dinner service for 300 people and it went off without a hitch. Every course was served quickly, hot and delicious. The Rose of the Hill is perfect for anyone looking for a beautiful, unique banquet space with outstanding service and top-notch food!

    We worked with Quentin for all of the planning for our daughter's wedding reception and he was outstanding. He always took the time to answer our questions, offer suggestions and help us in any way he could. He was actually on vacation the night of the reception and Caroline took over for him. Caroline was also outstanding! She took care of us in every way and accommodated us in every way possible. We had so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. It was the perfect spot. I am not very creative and our daughter lives out of town, so I appreciated how they took care of everything. Even the wedding cake comes through them (via the outstanding Missouri Baking Company). All we had to do was go and pick out the cake we wanted. I can't say enough good things.

    We held our rehearsal dinner at Favazza's Restaurant (the restaurant itself is not on here, so I am writing on Rose's) in September 2016. The restaurant was extremely booked that evening, so we had the middle dining room booked for our party of 35. From our service to the overall experience, you would never know they were that busy! The drinks were served promptly, the family-style dinner was delicious, and Greg (our server) was extremely attentive. We would have had them cater our wedding if our venue didn't have catering restrictions. We highly recommend Favazza's for any catering, large parties or just a nice afternoon/evening out. Their patio is unparalleled too!

    Favazza's made planning the rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding easy. The food was very good and the service was excellent! The room worked out well for our needs affording privacy and plenty of room for our group of 50. Definitely pleased with everything!

    I got recommendations for Favazza's for my son's rehearsal dinner from several different people. We went to dinner there several months before the wedding to check out the food and service. The food was delicious and the service was great. So we decided to speak to someone and book the rehearsal dinner then. There were quite a few options for serving style and dinner menu. The rehearsal ran late which was no problem. The room we had was large and very comfortable. The food was wonderful, as was the service. Very organized and professional. I would highly recommend Favazza's.

    I could not have asked for better service from the beginning to the end. Everything and everyone was perfect! John and the wait staff were very attentive, friendly and accommodating. We have recommended Favazza's to others and will continue to go there. We will definitely select them for future celebrations,

    Rose of the Hill by Favazza's Restaurant and Catering's reply:

    Stephanie,
    Thank you for the great review. Your family was wonderful to work with...You made it fun for me and my staff as well. Hope to see you back soon!

    Favazza's is the perfect location for a rehearsal dinner! The were very accommodating and John was extremely helpful in the planning process as I has to plan from out of town. The staff did an incredible job from set-up to serving to boxing up decorations, etc. at the end of the evening. The food was wonderful and we could not have been happier.

    We had our rehearsal dinner at Favazzas. It was really reasonably priced and they were SO EASY TO WORK WITH! Because they're a restaurant, they're very flexible and able to accommodate requests very easily. Great value!

    Favazza's did a wonderful job for our rehearsal dinner. We chose family style eating or dinner. Everything was prompt. The servers were professional and demonstrated excellent customer service. We hosted over 45 people and the room was more than accommodating & hosted a private bar. I would highly recommend for any event.

    We had our reception at Rose of the Hill, and the catering there is done by Favazzas. This was the most amazing food. Each dish we went with was fantastic, and we are still hearing compliments from our guests that evening about how awesome the food was. Typically I don't expect much for wedding food, but trust me, if you go through them, you can set the bar high and still will not be disappointed.

    We just had our wedding reception at Rose of the Hill on June 23, 2018, and could NOT be happier with our choice!

    First of all, Quentin Dunk is amazing to work with. He's extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process, but the best part is how great he is on the actually day of your wedding. Quentin checked in with my husband and I SO many times to make sure we were getting everything we needed, he took care of our family and friends incredibly, and if there was a job to be done, Quentin jumped right in there to do it.

    THE FOOD. Oh my goodness.... DE-LICIOUS. We decided to do a Family Style dinner and it was an absolute hit. Everyone commented on how quickly the food came out and how nice it was to be able to sit down while still getting to pick and choose what they wanted on their plate. And everyone said that the Penne with creamy tomato sausage and sage was their favorite =)

    We would have our reception there all over again. DEFINITELY recommend.

    I was so impressed with the quality of service we received at Rose of the Hill for our wedding reception. Quentin did an excellent job of making sure everything ran smoothly and that we were very well taken care of during the night. He was always there to attend to our needs, getting us drinks, pulling out my chair, holding our plates from the buffet, etc.! The tables, especially the head table, were decorated beautifully! It really looks nice all set up at night with the candles lit in there. If I had any complaints, they would be that a couple placecards were mixed up and there wasn't enough cake put out for guests to take. But the cake was not their fault. So really, it was a nearly flawless night and one we will remember forever! Thanks to all the staff at Rose of the Hill who made it so great!

    Quentin was very easy to work with, and Rose of the Hill provides so many things (table decorations, flowers, etc.) to make it easier for the bride & groom and make the cost much more valuable.

    We LOVED the food and the venue. They were very accommodating to our needs. I did, however, hear some complaints about the wait staff. Some of the wedding party at the head table said they had to go to the kitchen in order to get non alcoholic drinks or refills. There were other complaints of the staff taking away drinks or cake dishes too fast. Overall, we got a lot of compliments on the quality of the food, and the coordinator was easy to work with.

    We worked with John to coordinate our Rehearsal Dinner. John is great to work with, responsive to telephone and email communication, and very patient. John worked with us to find the dinner option that best suited the number of people we would be hosting and also meet everyone's expectations. It's no surprise, but the food was also delicious- the vegetables were perfectly seasoned and cooked just right! The wait staff for the event were a little on the slower side, bringing drinks down from the upstairs bar, but they were very nice and made sure everyone eventually got served. All in all, I would definitely recommend working with Favazza's for a rehearsal dinner option, and make sure to ask about their reception options too! (It wasn't a good fit for us, but worth exploring)

    I contacted Favazza's numerous times including meeting the staff in person, but I always felt like I had to make contact first. As if I was convincing them to cater my wedding instead of them wanting my business. I was never offered a catering tasting or contacted to set up a final meeting to sign any sort of catering contract. It was very surprising considering my family eats dinner there every week and the staff is always very helpful. I was very disappointed to not have the chance to have them cater my wedding and disappointed in the lack of customer service!

    Rose of the Hill by Favazza's Restaurant and Catering's reply:

    I am very sorry for any miscommunication on our part and I will take all responsibility. Believe me when I say this is not our norm.

    We usually interview our prospective outside catering clients, discuss potential menus and set up details then supply a full written proposal so they can see all costs based on the clients needs. Also we contact the potential off site venue to discuss their rules and regulations and to see if we are allowed to cater there. After approval of the original proposal, we ask for a deposit, then and only then, to secure our services. At that time we would have explained to you that we provide a menu sampling within 30 days of your event.

    If there wasn't any response from our proposal back from you the client I would think that you were not happy with our written proposal and decided to go elsewhere. If that wasn't the case please let me know.

    Also, I am really concerned that you and your family eats at our restaurant each week and there was not more discussion of your big day. Also, you would know the quality of our food and have experienced our service. I wish you would have said something sooner or a family member on one of your visits.

    I am not sure of the part we got to in your case but it seems like we dropped the ball somewhere. Again I am sorry for the miscommunication and I will take all the responsibility on my part. I will try do better in the future.

    Thank you for the feedback.

    John Favazza
