The bar area is in the front. The main dinning hall and private dinning area are off to the left of the bar area. I went in pregamed!!! I knew what I wanted and went straight to it. The complimentary bread and dip was not expected but was greatly appreciated. The bread is warm and that dip, that dip....so freaking good. It's tomato based I think. For the apps we ordered the meatball trio ( always order the balls), arancini bolognese, and the shrimp something. Everything was a hit!!! I can't remember the names of the main dishes. I had pasta with a cream sauce, chicken and spinach. My mother had a pork chop with veggies and roasted red potatoes. We sat at the bar and services was attentive even as it filled to capacity. The drinks were tasty, so much so that it lead to another round.

The environment and accessibility was somewhat difficult but there is a steel incline at the entrance if using a wheelchair. We were taken to be seated all the way in the corner. When it hit 6 pm, it was hard to get out due to the excessive amount of tables, and wheelchair was not accessible after. My table was given an automatic gratuity charge, with a table of 5, but the policy states "Parties of 6 or more subject to 20% gratuity. A 3% processing fee is applied to all credit card purchases." Overall the ambiance of the restaurant was good. The food was prepped nicely, my table ordered - Sodas, Caesar Salad, Bucatini Arrabiata with Chicken, shrimp scampi (GF), bucatini Delle Nonna, meatball trio, ravioli, and crab soup. 8/10 for taste, and presentation. I won't be coming back, but overall recommend just to try! If you are in the area. My server was pleasant overall too.

This is an Italian restaurant so when I read a less than stellar review for lamb chops, I thought it was ridiculous. Who comes to an Italian restaurant for lamb chops? The myriad pasta dishes are all very good. We had a fish dish from the "Specials" menu and it was superb. The Angus burger is great, the pizzas, calzone....I could go on. The prices are very fair and as far as no wine available , we always bring our own and there is NO CORKAGE Fee! The service is always great. If it's a little slower, we prefer that. But they always apologize without being asked, more in the vein of letting us know something will take a little longer. Five stars and all A's.

Our overall experience harkened back to some of the best episodes of the last season of "The Bear" we recently was on TV - many employees working feverishly to overcome all sorts of challenges to keep the multitudes of patrons sublimely sated with quality Italian cuisine. Some of the parallels were uncanny! To the restaurant's credit, this promotion was well-marketed and reflected in the full house of patrons with a jammed lobby that spilled outdoors with people waiting for tables. To the restaurant's further credit, there were many servers working feverishly hard to keep pace with the onslaught. They had prepared, in other words. Kudos to the charming hostess, who somehow kept dozens of balls juggling in mid-air. The anniversary menu itself was simple (down-home traditional Italian fare), possibly both reflective of the 1988 era and the move-them-in, move-them-out necessary philosophy of the evening. Our mussels appetizer was delicious but arrived late (with a profuse apology) reflective of the onslaught. We understood. Our main courses (Italian chicken dishes) were fine and well-prepared if a bit watery, again reflective of 1988 and of the busy kitchen. Again, we understood. Pricewise, with the promotion, we saved about $11 or $12 a person off what an equivalent order would have been in 2026, so our bill reflected. It WAS a cool promotion and Liberatore's deserves our business (and yours) more often even absent special promotions like this. Hopefully this creative idea inspires this on the part of it's many past customers.

The food is always great, which is why I keep coming back, but the experience at the register takes away from it. The cashiers (Lauren F) rarely smile or greet customers in a friendly way, and it often feels like they just want you to hurry up and place your order. Whenever I've asked a question about the menu, the responses have come across as short and dismissive, almost as if I'm inconveniencing them. I understand that working in customer service can be stressful, but a little kindness goes a long way. A friendly greeting, some patience, and a positive attitude would make a big difference and create a much more welcoming experience. The food is worth coming back for, but I hope the staff receives additional customer service training because it would really improve the overall experience.

We usually stick to the bar but sat in the dining room this time, which was nicely decorated and set a great tone. Then the little things started adding up. The roasted beet appetizer was tasty but had virtually none of the promised goat cheese. The bread was delicious... but it came with the kind of individual butter packets you'd find at a breakfast buffet. For an elevated dining experience, that's a small but noticeable miss. The bigger hiccups came with the entrees. My husband's salmon on his salad was overcooked, and my filet came out well done when I ordered medium. To his credit, our waiter noticed before I even said anything and took it back... but the replacement came out beyond rare. Silver lining: the sizzling skillet actually saved the day. I sliced it up and finished it right on the skillet, bringing it up to somewhere between mid-rare and medium which is right where I like it. Crisis averted, but it shouldn't have come to that. The scalloped potatoes looked a little questionable at first glance, looked a little like there was just a slice of melted cheese on top... but they were actually really good once we dug in. Our waiter was attentive and genuinely kind throughout, which made the experience much easier to shake off. We've had better visits here before and we'll definitely be back to give it another shot.... every one has an off night here and there.

Decided to tag along to Maria's yesterday…read more Parking was not a hastle. I entered at the bar area. Was not greeted however upon exiting bar area to the quieter dining area I was quickly greeted. There were multiple large parties occuring one upstairs (actual party as its their reserved party area) and another in the side dining ares. So there was a bit of louder but reserved noise at time. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. I ordered a Paloma spirited (on the bar special board in the bar area), grilled octopus, a side greek salad. All came out within reason. However, I had to send back my order of grilled octopus as it was OVER cooked and extremely tuff/rubberly. I then ordered ziti with blackened chicken and extra mozzarella. This came out hot and within reason. The portion was huge. Its more then enough for 2 plus people. So tasty and delicious. I then ordered the island mule (from the bar special board) so enjoyable.

I enjoyed my meal but for the uneven temperatures. I would have like everything hotter. The potatoes were hot, the roasted vegetables were warm and and the cod was tepid. I A guest ordered the cream of crab soup and it came out warm so was sent back. All those who got the crab cake were delighted. 3 crab soups were enjoyed and I ended up with 2 great appetizers: the oven fried octopus & the lamb chops , very meaty and a pleasant surprise. One guest got eggplant and spaghetti. Since we are expecting a snow storm I have two doggie bags the Papillion will not be sharing. We were in a room with another much larger party, we were a party of 7. They were louder than us but we had no complaints as we had no problem hearing each other. The building Maria's is in apparently was a former karaoke bar and before that a lovely house. The menu is eclectic : Italian, Greek, Chesapeake Bay &, some Mexican food thrown in. My biggest complaint is the uneven temperature of the food. The kitchen might wish to get their act together. Meanwhile, this weekend at home I'll be eating my delicious cod & vegetables and maybe some spaghetti another night. One more plus: very accommodating as far as adjusting the plates for those lactose & butter intolerant

Moving on it was a large group of us but we got separate checks in couples yet 20% tip was added anyways. The main disappoint was the food. Broccoli ched soup - Was not mixed enough had a pile of cheese at the bottom not melted in Crab soup - Really chunky and too thick, not soup thickness. Pasta with shrimp - shrimp still had the tails on. Sauce to pasta ratio was way off literally drowning like thin soup and overall it just tasted like garlic. Short ribs pasta - Tasted like veal or some "wild" meat, when questioned the waitress didn't even know if it was beef, veal or "pig" (LOL) Lasagna - Tasted like frozen Stoffer's box, literally. Hamburger - Decent, but average and also not what we came for. Breadsticks were 5/5, best thing I ate there! and desserts were massive I mean enough for 3 people each but just ok tasted almost frozen or just really really cold or not thawn. I think what's worse is we told the waitress we didn't like some of the dishes and there was nothing in return besides "I'm sorry." They did offer to box our leftovers and give us breadsticks to go, that's the reason for 2 stars, instead of 1. Big disappointment after seeing some of the other older great reviews. But more recent reviews also state the food is bland / tasteless, and we agree. We won't be returning here. I don't suggest it.

I made a…read morereservation a few days in advance but when we got there we were told that we had to wait a few minutes. We wound up waiting 28 minutes past our time to be seated. We did ask about it and I didn't find the response to be helpful, however, I liked the younger hostess so I will leave it at that. She shouldn't get in trouble as my issues are with how reservations are managed (or not managed). While I was just happy to be seated, the rest of our party grew restless and it apparently took 55 minutes from the time we entered to place our order. Having a one year old with us, this made it extremely difficult. It was very busy, however, it would've been nice to have the breadsticks and salad earlier to keep the kids happy. It was over an hour since we entered the restaurant before we could give them anything. We were able to leave after 2.5 hours, which was just very long with small children. No one in a position of power seemed to care about all the hiccups. No one apologized for anything being late or that we had to wait so long with a reservation. The food was good, but honestly, Olive Garden tasted better. Finally, they tack on a 3% additional charge to us for using our credit card. It wasn't mentioned, just tacked on at the end. I know smaller businesses sometimes can't absorb that cost, but they have always mentioned it in the past. I found that in poor taste. I will not be back in the future and I was very disappointed in how little regard there was for us as customers.

We were seated at a small table in a large room and our server came quickly to get us water and give us a little time to decide on our dinner. A few minutes after we put our order in and got some garlic and regular bread and waited for our meals to arrive. She got the lasagna which looked really good and I had the veal with shrimp over penne pasta. Since I only get veal when I go out to restaurants this was a treat. The veal was tender, the shrimp were big and delicious and the sauce over the pasta was outstanding. Our server check with us regularly to make sure everything was okay and we were both too full for dessert. After getting carryout and now eating in I can't say enough about how good this restaurant is and I hope to come back in the near future. Highly recommend a visit here but note that it will likely be crowded especially on a weekend evening.
