Sadly, the service is always incredibly slow. It took over 30 minutes for the appetizers to arrive and an additional 35 minutes for the entrees to arrive. The pasta ratio to sauce was too much, as the dish could've used more pasta considering the size of the meatballs and the amount of sauce. Positively, the meatballs were amazing. You can expect a busy, loud environment with a true Italian flare. Their cocktail list is extensive and their dessert always looks delicious. Unfortunately, it has always been too late to order but I'm confident I will be able to try the dessert soon.

The bartender really fit our vibe that night and joked around with us perfectly. Previously we've been for pizza and apps at the bar. The bathrooms were a little messy that day which is my only reason for not rating 5 stars.

He was always checking in with us to make sure we were satisfied with what we had ordered and came back to check on us regularly. It was restaurant week and we all had the restaurant week menu for our meal. I started out with the Maryland crab soup which was a big bowl full of crab meat and vegetables and was delicious. It was a good start for my meal. The other two at the table had the Augie salad, and in fact, one person had the Augie salad for both her starter and her entree. I opted for the shrimp scampi which was delicious with big huge shrimp and a delicious sauce over linguini which was absolutely perfect and a delicious meal. I opted for the Oreo chocolate cake for dessert which I thought was going to be super sweet but in fact it was like an Oreo ice cream between the layers of chocolate cake which was absolutely exquisite. I had not been to Liberatore's in probably 20 years and I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend.

Pros: The restaurant is beautiful, comfortable, intimately lit, and with options for indoor and…read moreoutdoor seating. The staff is knowledgeable and obliging, and their wine list is the best in the area. Every dish was prepared fresh, and their house salad had a wonderful dressing. The carbonara was prepared in the authentic fashion without cream, a rare and refreshing quality. The portions are appropriately sized and one may comfortably share a number of their entrees. Cons: The sauce for the carbonara contained very little of the pancetta fat, peccorino or parmesan cheese, and the eggs were not properly tempered, causing the sauce to curdle. There was very little pancetta, showing a degree of economizing that is unbecoming a restaurant of their caliber. The Shrimp Fra Diavolo was timidly spiced, and the marinara itself didn't have much acidity or sweetness. The Veal Parmigiana was sweet and tender, but the breading had no character or seasoning. It's possible that the kitchen was under a great deal of pressure due to the dinner rush, and I'd be willing to give the restaurant another chance.

The risotto was cooked perfectly. It made for a wonderful meal. For dessert, Jason got the tiramisu which just looked to die for, I got the affogato and the presentation was just amazing.. If you haven't been here, you need to come on out, they have great happy hour specials in the bar and the dining room is just wonderful. (we booked with open table for our reservation and stated it was our 35th wedding anniversary, but nothing special was done to recognize our special occasion, as we were leaving I asked the hostesses if there was a notification about our anniversary and if they mentioned it but they did not share with our server)

One of the biggest reasons we keep coming back is the variety. This definitely isn't a place where…read moreyou're limited to basic cheese and pepperoni pizza. When you walk in, the counter is usually filled with different pizzas available by the slice, and there always seems to be something new to try. You'll find everything from classic New York style slices to Sicilian, white pizzas, veggie options, meat loaded pizzas, fresh mozzarella and tomato combinations, specialty slices and some really creative options you don't see at every pizza shop. Everything always looks incredibly fresh too. And honestly, pizza is only part of the reason we love this place. Their lunch specials are one of the best values we've found locally. For $13.95, there is a rotating selection Monday through Friday with sandwiches, subs, wraps, salads and full pasta dishes. We recently tried the La Rustica sandwich with chicken cutlet, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, pesto and vodka sauce on homemade focaccia. The sandwich was HUGE, packed with ingredients and came with a generous portion of fresh cut fries. We also tried the Shrimp & Crab Fra Diavolo, and this is where the value really surprised us. It was an entire plate of penne in a spicy marinara with jumbo shrimp and real lump crabmeat. They absolutely did not skimp on the seafood either. Getting a fresh seafood pasta dish like that as part of a $13.95 lunch special is pretty incredible. Beyond the specials, they have a huge menu with Italian dishes, pasta, subs, sandwiches, salads, appetizers and plenty of other options. Even something like their bruschetta is loaded with fresh tomatoes, big pieces of fresh mozzarella, herbs and olive oil. There really is something here for almost everyone. Another thing that keeps us coming back is how fresh everything tastes. The ingredients actually stand out instead of everything tasting like generic pizza shop food. Their breads are especially good, the portions are generous and the food consistently comes out looking just as good as it tastes. The service has also always been wonderful with us. Everyone is welcoming and friendly, and because we come in fairly often, it has become one of those places where you genuinely feel happy walking through the door. The inside has a casual Italian pizzeria feel but is much nicer and more inviting than your typical grab and go pizza shop. There's plenty of seating, the colorful interior gives it personality, and you can sit down and have an actual meal just as easily as you can stop in for a quick slice. If you haven't been here in a while, especially if you're judging it based on older reviews, I really think Margherita's deserves another visit. Our experiences have been consistently great, and there's a reason we keep coming back. Great food, huge variety, generous portions, friendly service and some seriously good pizza.
