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.

Wow A trip back to the high school cafeteria at Basta Pasta!!…read more Friday night at 8 pm. A few tables were filled. Many empty. Did they formally use table-clothes?? They no longer do. That is ok, but the tables look worn and that doesn't look clean. We were sat at a booth. My husband had a seat with a tear about 9 inches across. There were many other places we could've been seated. In a previous visit, the food was good - based on that- we still stayed. Our server was attentive, just not welcoming. I've never had bruschetta delivered with sliced pieces of toast and a bowl of uniformly chopped seasoned tomatoes. It was a large bowl. But the tomatoes did not look fresh. They had an off taste that was slightly sour. It didn't taste like a balsamic vinegar, it tasted off. The tomatoes didn't look fresh and bright. They looked mealy and prepackaged, I could not eat it, but I did eat the toasted bread. waiting for butter with dinners bread. The salad was served in one large bowl. We were supposed to use the same dirty dishes that we used for the bruschetta . There were chunks of iceberg lettuce onions , black olives , croutons (good)and grape tomatoes. One item was either a pale olive, a rotten tomato, or some kind of weird pepper. We asked for the dressing (only italian is available) on the side, and it was rather gelatinous. it looked like a cornstarch base, not olive oil. They need to make more options. Four little loaves of bread came out. That was plenty of bread for two people. However, those loaves were pale, pasty dense, doughy. The crust or outside of the bread was not crisp or baked it was rather soft. It makes me think the bread was not freshly baked or freshly purchased loafs . But perhaps a par baked bread. It had no resemblance to Italian bread. If you know Italian bread, it's dense yet chewy and has lots of air holes and structure from the yeast. Their little bread didn't taste like they were fermented at all. They didn't serve fresh butter, what they did was put a slick of spread( garlic - margarine-salt ) on top of each little loaf. Was that to hide the fact that the bread itself had no flavor? I didn't have time nor did I want to eat my stuffed shells. They did look good. I had them today and they were so so. I would much rather buy a frozen bag and a jar of marinara and eat at home. And I know I will. That was the food, but then we could look at the surroundings. It was freezing in there at 8 o'clock. We had a sweater and sweatshirt on. It was not enjoyable to eat in such a frigid atmosphere. Were they trying to help patrons out the door by making it colder inside? Or is it always that cold in there? And the staff. They had plenty of staff - more staff and they had customers it seems. So that's a plus. It was kind of funny because the staff mostly looked like high school children. The hostess and another female were braiding their hair at the hostess stand. Two young teen boys customers were sitting behind us, and two young servers came over to chitchat and offer them everything on the menu. These young boys got lots of attention. These young girls were having the time of their lives. Hence it was just like a high school cafeteria. The kicker was there were still several tables eating maybe five or six. And they started using a vacuum to clean the rug so they could get out in time. I'm not talking little brush and broom to pick up breadcrumbs and keep it looking clean. I'm talking about a Hoover that kicks up the dirt. the dust the debris, and the grime from the rugs - blowing right to the customers plates while they're vacuuming. They didn't skip the tables. One young lady was vacuuming and was told to vacuum by a particular table and there was a baby sleeping there. And she did have enough sense to say there's a little baby sleeping here. But they still wanted her to vacuum. Maybe Friday night they don't have any managers? Maybe the owner doesn't care anymore? There's no point in my addressing a manager when it's obvious when you walk in and the whole experience is subpar., there was nothing attractive about that restaurant. The atmosphere : they were playing music that maybe the young staff liked. Some of it just did not seem like music you play while you're eating. Again maybe they were trying to rush everybody out because they had better things to do on a Friday night. So aside from the cooking that I would be embarrassed to serve, to the state of the cleanliness and vacuuming while people are eating, which I'm sure the health department would not allow, to the chilly atmosphere, which describes almost the entire establishment. If you go, just know that it's great. If you're a young teen, you don't really care about the quality of the food. Or you're just going to hang out, and your expectations are not that high. Portions are large. But that's not enough to keep people coming who actually are looking for an enjoyable meal. The good news parking was plentiful!

Heather was our server, and they were wonderful. After our entrees, they'll bring out a dessert sample platter so guests can see the dessert options before ordering. It's purely to look at and not taste. The restaurant has a whimsical atmosphere with dark, sultry lighting and fake vines and string lights draped across the walls and ceiling. From a distance I thought they might be dusty, but up-close they appeared surprisingly well-maintained and clean. I really appreciate that, as dirty/dusty props hanging over my meal are a major turn-off for me. The place overall, seemed very clean and tables set up neatly ready for customers to sit down. The main flag for me is the building itself. There are several uneven points in the flooring to trip over - even some ramps. The dim lighting can make things difficult to notice. Finding the restrooms was confusing even though there were small signs because it was dark. The route via the signs also seemed to lead through the drink area where cups are kept. I feel like that's not very common for restaurants to have you walk through so it made me question if I was going the right way. The ladies' restroom had small tight stalls. I didn't notice any accessible stalls or restrooms. To be fair, it is possible I missed them due to the low lighting. Overall, I would give the food and service 5 stars. The building itself is the reason i have to give an overall 4-star rating. I appreciate how strongly the restaurant remains loyal to its whimsical ambiance while still serving tasty dishes. Eating there reminds me of the cozy 90s sitcom settings for example from Friends or Sabrina the Teenage Witch. At the same time, we are now in 2026 and I think accessibility and ease of navigation are important considerations for customers. The restaurant serves well for me personally, but it may not be as comfortable or accessible for every guest that dines-in.

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.
