    Small Pepperoni Stromboli    , Diet Coke

    I stopped in when they opened for the day . I had a nice Pepperoni Stromboli . It had lots of Mozzarella Cheese and came with a mild Marinara . Moderate prices and good service .

    We've been here a few times, and the food is always delicious. I'm gluten free, and their GF pasta and pizza are some of the best I've had. You can tell they make everything in house with fresh ingredients. My daughter ordered the Pappardelle bolognese, the pasta was made in Italy. She was it was fantastic. We've had great service as well. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portions

    Met up with some friends last night for dinner. This was also my first visit to Il Basilico. I've received mailers from them over the years and was intrigued but not enough to make a visit. When arriving, I noticed the house isn't fancy, which is good from a value standpoint. It's very homey at Il Basilico. The menu contains a broad range of favorites from appetizers to pizza and beyond. My own order consisted of a small (but ample) Caesar salad which was very good. My entree was their chicken parmigiana with penne pasta covered in marinara. I believe the chicken was thinned out and breaded. The chicken and pasta were quite good. You know those mailers I mentioned? I was especially impressed with their pizza offerings. Their website tells the story of their founder who basically perfected pizza. Throughout my visit I had a sense they were slinging more pies than entrees as dozens made their way through the front door and being Monday customers bypassed at least two pizzerias selling half price pies on Mondays. Our server (seven of us, total, separate checks) was on top of her game. Prices very fair and although I finish my meal, all others in my party took home some leftovers. Pizza is next...

    I ordered the Al Friutti Di Mare in white wine sauce and received what you see in the photos. Was disgusting and I threw in the freezer to be put in the trash next week. Avoid this place if you can.

    Pappardelle Pasta with Tomato Sauce
    Josie V.

    Came across this amazing restaurant while driving and I can't say how happy I am. The staff here is super friendly and very attentive. I ordered the pappardelle pasta with tomato sauce, it tasted fresh the tomato sauce was home made with the best flavors. If I had enough space I would order dessert however I wil be back and I recommend this place to everyone that lives near or is simply driving by. Come and check them out, you won't regret it!!!

    Homemade s'mores dessert!
    Kellie L.

    we had an excellent meal at an excellent price! The meatball sub and stuffed shells - hit the spot! the bread with seasoned oil for dipping was delicious. but the very best was dessert- a homemade s'mores dessert- sooooo good! Our servers were on point - Summer was prompt and accurate and attentive. Shanina who also helped serve our table was unobtrusive and friendly. we even had a visit with the manger , Arden , who was making sure all of the customers in the dining room and the carry out orders were correct and enjoyable. we will definitely be back!

    My name is Samantha and My family and I have been going to your restaurant for over 3 years, but what happened today was unacceptable. My husband placed a takeout order on the app slicelife and paid plus tip (I am attaching the recipe for your reference). I went to the restaurant to pick it up and was called out by your worker saying that I needed to pay for my food. I quickly called my husband who shared the receipt to my e-mail. This lady called a hispanic worker who stated that he spoke to my husband on the phone and my husband DID NOT PAY FOR THE FOOD. I tried to explain to him that this was a mistake, since my husband never called the restaurant, because he used the app. This hispanic guy was RUDE and kept saying that he called and talked to him. I felt so disrespected, and will never go back to your restaurant again (I will make sure other people hear my experience, because I was treated like a thief). This is unacceptable. Your workers did not want to see the receipt nor the statement from my credit card, but instead they told me I could leave the restaurant. In 31 years, I have never experienced anything like this, and do not wish that anyone goes through this. Please talk to your worker and do not allow them to treat YOUR customers like I was today.

    Went to Liberatore's in Timonium last night. It was crowded as it was a Friday night. The fried…read morecalamari was perfectly cooked and lightly fried but not greasy. The lasagna was a huge piece! Tasted like my Italian grandmom made it with care. Service was just ok. Our drinks ran dry once which is a big no no. The waitress seemed stressed and was rushing around. Everything was excellent aside from the service. May have been an off night or they may have been short staffed. We will definately return soon!!!

    As an original New Yorker, Italian food is a staple for me, so my standards are high. Based on the…read morereviews I read, I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately, it really missed the mark. The ambiance is beautiful and the restaurant is clean, but the experience went downhill quickly. It started with the service: the waitress backing up our table literally pulled the menus out of our hands so fast we couldn't even tell which pasta came with our dishes. We had to stop her to ask, and because we were rushed, we ended up with angel hair instead of the penne we wanted. For appetizers, the dip was delicious, but the Dynamite Shrimp felt like a cheap knockoff of a well-known chain's version. For dinner, I had the Veal Parmigiana. The veal itself was cooked well and had great flavor, but the sauce was... weird. I couldn't put my finger on what was different about it, but it wasn't my favorite. My wife ordered the Chicken Parmigiana, which was a total disaster--dry, flavorless, and inedible. I actually ended up giving her some of my veal just so she had something decent to eat. The ending was the most off-putting part. After we sent the chicken back, the waiter told us the manager wanted to "offer us dessert" for the trouble. We chose two to-go (heading to Magooby's Joke House), but when the bill came, the desserts were charged! When I asked why, the waiter said, "My manager said to remove the chicken parm cost, he didn't say to remove the dessert." Why "offer" something if you expect payment? It felt deceptive. He eventually removed the charge but didn't say a word when he dropped the receipt, and the manager never came over. Between the rushing, the weird sauce, and the awkward service, we won't be back.

    Tony's is a little slice of Italy in Mays Chapel. There are booths that seat 2 or 4, counter…read moreseating, and tables for 4. They do not take reservations. They do a brisk carry-out business. We met friends for dinner on a Saturday evening. First, we like BYOB with no corkage fee. They were very busy, so we were glad that we came a little early so that we only had to wait a few minutes to secure a booth. My husband and I split a Prosciutto & Mozzarella Classic 10 inch N.Y. Sub, which was loaded with thinly sliced Italian prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil, mayo spread, and a drizzle of balsamic with a side order of French fries. This is truly a sub full of flavor. Our friend started off with an Arancino. If you are wondering what an Arancino is, it is an iconic Sicilian rice ball, typically stuffed, breaded, and deep-fried to a golden crisp that has been around since the 10th century. Here at Tony's, they are a flash fried rice ball, stuffed with ground beef, peas and mozzarella with tomato sauce on the side. He also had a Stromboli (a pizza dough stuffed and rolled with pepperoni, sausage, ham, fried onions, green peppers, pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese.) His wife enjoyed the Eggplant Parmesan (three pan-fried Italian eggplant pieces covered with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, baked to perfection, served with spaghetti.) Both dishes were generous in size. We all thoroughly enjoyed being transported to Italy this evening.

I stumbled upon Tony's randomly. I never knew this place existed however I'm glad I found it! They were due to close when we arrived however their friendly and welcoming staff took care of us and we got slices of pizza. The restaurant is clean and well kept. There are options to dine in or take out and they have outdoor tables available for warmer months. Now the pizza!!! Honeyyyyy The pizza was made to perfection 20/20!!!!! It was so good! Getting a true NYC slice you want to make sure it's left in the oven a little longer to ensure crispy edges and crust. Some may not notice or even care but sauce matters!!! Tony's sauce on this pizza was great. I snagged a menu and definitely plan to return to try some other items. I've got my eye on that cheesesteak and the chicken parm sub! I'll be sure to update yall when we do that! Anytime I'm missing home, I know Tony's will fill that void! RUN DONT WALK AND GET YOU A SLICE!!!!

While Italian food is ethnic, its not as new-fangled and exotic as many other cuisines: my parents knew and liked Italian. So we had not visited Liberatore's in a while but tried their recently relaunched lunch buffet today and were pretty wowed with its quality and diversity. Excellent soup, hot entrees (chicken piccata and pasta) and salad offerings (the tomato and cucumber salad was especially delicious) abound. What it lacks in diversity of selections is more than made up for in the quality and freshness of ingredients. Service was competent and prices ($17 a person) fair for 2025. We prided ourselves on not grossly overeating. It would have been easy to do. One note: even though lunch hours begin at 1130a, the buffet does not get rolling until around Noon. The only thing missing was the tableside visit by the charming and congenial owner, Dante. Maybe he does not work the lunch shift. Anyway, we're going to try to overlook Liberatore's less.
