Not a good dinner experience this time. Service was slow, food was overly salty (greens & beans & grouper) and my grouper was still raw in areas. I should have sent it back but didn't feel like waiting any longer. My wife did like her salmon dinner. read more

A small restaurant with a big menu. The staff is friendly and the food is very good. From pizza and pasta to chicken, fish and beef, you will find something for every occasion. read more

never had a bad meal there. atmosphere is super cute/date night vibes. their tiramisu is off the charts & cocktails just as good.

Seafood Medley is out of this world amazing! With a bowl of Lobster Bisque. Never can go wrong when you order this!

My family has lived in Girard for 10yrs now and Margherita's has always been one of my favorite places to eat. The variety of food is great for bringing a few friends. I always like to try the different specials each visit. Would highly recommend to anyone that hasn't had it yet. read more

We have been coming here for years. It remains one of our top restaurant choices in the area. All the food is very good. The lobster bisque is delicious, they have an eggplant stack that's not always on the menu, but you can always ask for it, and it's wonderful. Their pasta sauce is very good. And we recently discovered that their PIZZA IS EXCELLENT! Absolutely the best around. Thin or thick crust (we had the thin), the crust is very tasty and the added ingredients are the best. Comfortable atmosphere. read more

Thank you to all the staff at Margherita's Grille for a fantastic experience last evening, Saturday 8/1/20. Our server was hopping busy but never missed a beat, and the food was great, especially the champaign dressing on our salads. We also had wedding and pasta fagioli, and entree's of Jambalaya and Prime Rib. We look forward to returning and enjoying the live music on the patio. Thanks again, and see you next week. read more

First time here. FABULOUS. Had linguini and clam sauce. Got linguini and clam sauce (unlike the place I went to yesterday) left tip accordingly read more

Always great food here, had walleye lunch special. It was very good and the service was excellent. I have never been disappointed here.

First time we stopped for Taco Tuesday. Absolutely hard to beat! We ordered a drink while we waited for our take out order. Bar service and cocktails were superior. Best Tacos in the area! read more

We frequent this place a couple of times a month and it never disappoints. Taco Tuesday is great. Also, seasonal dishes like spring/fall pasta and daily specials are a hit. read more

Considering that Girard is a town populated by a large majority of Italian families, it's mildly surprising there wasn't a successful Italian restaurant in town before this one; at least not that I can remember in my lifetime. My parents really enjoy the food here and I would agree with them. They have calzones/stromboli which aren't listed on the menu, but we get them pretty often and they are an excellent takeout option. Dining in, the restaurant isn't totally accommodating as it's pretty small and usually busy on a relative scale. However, I can only recall one occasion during which we actually had to wait to be seated, so that speaks well for the staff and management. Even if there were somewhat larger inconveniences, the food is good enough to make up for it and the portions are also quite generous. This has become a staple of the cuisine that Girard, Ohio has to offer and I'll be looking forward to eating here as long as I'm living in the area. read more

4/21/2017 As a family of five we don't eat out often and when we do I like it to be good food in a comfortable atmosphere and Margherita's ALWAYS delivers. The service here is always quick and efficient without being rushed. Vickie has been our server the last few visits and always takes great care of us. The food is trusty Italian staples and is exceptional. Tonight we started with cheese sticks for the kids, wedding soup for my husband and lobster bisque for me, plus an order of greens with Hungarian hot peppers. My husband had the chicken parmigiana, eggplant for me, kids pasta for my daughter, 12" sausage and pepperoni pizza for one son and the pizza burger for the other. Heads up: the pizza burger is an actual burger sandwiched between two thick slices of white pizza, and it's mammoth! Finished off the meal with a piece of tiramisu to go ('cuz dessert tastes better in your pajamas) All of this for just under $80! read more

This used to be a good restaurant, order pizza, they gave us the wrong pizza, then we had to argue to have them make it right. Now they are just bad at what they do. read more

My family has only eaten here once and we did so based on the recommendation of a colleague. Being new to the area, recommendations are how we're exploring our new home. Some recommendations have panned out well and some have fallen between "meh" and "what was colleague x thinking?" Margheritas falls in the "meh" category. It wasn't terrible, but I just can't see how he thinks this place is so great. It's simply not great, it's alright. My meal began with the lobster bisque. I just don't eat enough lobster bisque, but really who does? Sadly, this lobster bisque tasted like butter, pink colored butter. I like butter, a lot. But I don't like butter soup. It also wasn't very lobstery. I know that lobster isn't supposed to be crammed with delicious nuggets of lobster, but it should have more than a couple flecks. So, another thing I don't eat enough of is veal. I really love veal - the soft, succelent flesh of immature cow is just awesome. Most of my veal was actually pretty grisly and a little tough. Clearly overcooked and a bad cut. About 1/3 of the cutlet was great, though, and absolutely what I expect in a cut of veal. I think the problem here is one of cost cutting, buying cheaper product. I would have paid a bit more for higher quality. The marsala sauce was delicious, though. Absolutely no complaints about it. The service was good and our waitress was attentive, but good service paired with over priced, mediocre food doesn't do it for me. Of course my kids enjoyed the place. They had pizza. You could tell them anything is pizza and they'd love it. They want to go back, but I didn't get what I paid for so it'll be awhile before I head back and give them a second chance. read more

I have enjoyed everything I have eaten here. I have the lobster bisque every time. The gorgonzola salad with champagne dressing is a must have. I love the shrimp scampi. Today I tried the fig crostini for the first time. I highly recommend it! read more

Awesome Bloody Mary.Blackened fish.Wedding soup was excellent. Not overly salty and hot.I like sitting at the bar.Prices are high but food prices are through the roof. Not any restaurants fault. read more

Great family atmosphere. The portions are large and prices are reasonable. The homemade desserts are delicious, especially the tiramisu!

great food. getting a bit pricy with inflation and higher wages though

Amazing true Italian food. Great portion size for the price. Only problem with the location is not enough tables and everything seems crammed into the location. It would be nice to see them remodel and make bigger. read more

Very good Gnocchi. I had the Vodka sauce with vegetables and substituted the gnocchi. It was really good

I remember this place being great when we came a few years ago. Came here with my mom on Saturday and had just an average experience. We both ordered bowls of the lobster bisque. It was okay at first but the more I kept eating, the weirder it tasted. Asked my mom and she thought the exact same thing. We couldn't put our finger on what was wrong with it or what the taste was that we both tasted- metal? A weird chemical? Either way, we had to send it back. It was not good. We both ordered the blood orange, elderflower liqueur and gin drink. That was delicious. In place of the lobster bisque, we got the Thai calamari and that was delicious. I ordered the stuffed shrimp appetizer as my entree and the cream sauce it was served on was really good. My mom ordered a side of lobster risotto and it seems like the lobster bisque and that came out of the same thing- which seems a little strange. I wouldn't be so quick to want to come back here. Maybe for a drink or appetizer but not for a full meal next time. With all our hiccups and the food not being the greatest, our server was very nice and attentive throughout our meal, so that was good. read more

My husband and I spent our first year anniversary here and we were NOT disappointed! Our waiter was a sweetheart she really took the time to get to know us and even recommended dishes for us to try. We didn't like the lobster soup and she sent it back with no problem and recommended the wedding soup which is her favorite and i could see why! I am pregnant and she had my back with a lot of things on the menu she offered me the blackened chicken Alfredo but suggested i get it lightly blackened due to my pregnancy and it was very delicious just enough flavor and not spicy at all. This place is normally packed we were surprised we got in. We will be back in again read more

Best lobster bisque ever, fresh, creamy and full of lobster. A meal in itself. Delicious

Me and my husband went here last night for dinner before a show for date night. I've eaten here before...but it was my hubby's first time. He loved it. I ordered the lobster risotto with pan seared scallops and lobster bisque. . My husband ordered the Walleye stuffed with crab and a side of angel hair pasta in alfredo. Everything was cooked to perfection The lobster bisque is a must. My husband said we definitely will be regulars here. It's always busy...but well worth the wait. The service was excellent everyone was extremely nice. Can't wait for our next visit. read more

The food was the worst I have eaten. I ordered the fish and it had no taste. I did not like the fries. My granddaughter ordered fries and a toasted cheese sandwich. the cheese tasted like plastic and was cold. read more

For 15 years I never tried this place. I am so glad I finally did! The service was great and the food was wonderful! Will be back and recommend it to friends. read more

This is a must stop for food when passing through Girard. I love their chicken franchise. Delicious! The sauce is like an olive oil and fresh squeezed lemons! I always get a couple more lemon wedges on the side. Fresh soft bread. Delicious soups. Lobster bisque being a favorite. read more

I order the "Seafood Medley" and it wasn't good. It lacked favor and the scallops were very salty. The artichoke dip was very good. our waiter was excellent! this isn't a place I recommend personally! Although this is a clean environment which is a plus, but will not be back. read more

Had lunch there today. Friday fish special. Obviously frozen fish that they through in the fryer. AWFUL! Overcooked. Tough! Don't waste your time. Salad was semi fresh head lettuce, bread had been microwaved to freshen it. Server was good. Not her fault the food was awful. read more

Stoped in after a family function was pleasantly surprised on how good it was , menu was very good selection service was also very good ( Christopher) after traveling to Italy this year this has been the most authentic here in the States. When in the area will be back for sure! read more

The Service was moderately well, Pizza was very greasy, The server put our pizza on a can of tomatoes. We had to tilt it so it would not fall over. Would not eat again read more

I love most everything about this restaurant ... the food is delicious; I especially enjoy the fresh bread with garlic butter. Service is good, although it was a bit slow when the restaurant was new, it seems to have gotten better. They really took the run-down building and made it beautiful. The parking and getting in and out of the lots is a bit annoying during busy hours, but it's not a big deal. I live right around the corner and like to get carryout once in a while, and they are pretty fast and accurate with the orders. They have live music on Saturdays too. Very nice place! read more

Delicious steak tacos, cooked to order in a dreamy cilantro crema sauce. Excellent service :)

Close to home, can call ahead to order for pick up. They have gluten-free pasta, my favorite dish is the Spaghetti Bolognese! It comes with a side salad and I just ask to leave the bread out of the order. It's a very filling meal! There is a birthday club and they will send you a coupon for a free meal up to a $10 value with the purchase of the same. My other half and I both get one during our birthday months. It can become quite crowded on weekends, it's a local favorite for many! read more

Was there with a group. Food not the best. Clean very noisy to talk. Not a bad place. Will try another place next month maybe should have ordered Italian berger just warm read more

Good, homey Italian food. Great red gravy (sauce), delicious pasta. My parents love this place and my son and I were not disappointed. I still like Cafe Capri in Boardman, OH better, though. read more

What a fantastic gem of a restaurant!!! From very creative (and great tasting) mixed drinks, to a great wine list, to a very extensive and delicious food menu (with huge portions), and a great staff - this place was everything you could want in a restaurant. I had a hot apple cider (with bourbon) that I loved, and one of the best bowls of cioppino I have ever had. Highly recommend it to everyone in the area. What are you waiting for - head over there now! read more

We go here every time we come in from NJ to visit family. Great specially cocktails and amazing Alfredo!

We live close by and it's one of our go to places for ordering dinner. Great Italian dishes. One of my favorites is the seafood linguine with the spicy marinara sauce. Pizzas are good too. Better quality food than you would expect in Girard. read more
