There are five Liberatore's still open and ready to serve you, in Bel Air, Perry Hall, Timonium, Westminister and the original in Eldersburg.
The Owings Mills Liberatore's closed back on March 7, after a 15 year run. Well, you know how people are, folks started to worry.
Dante Liberatore, who oversees the day-to-day operations at the Eldersburg location, told me that the Owings Mills closing was the result of "bad math."
You see, the Liberatore family believes that each location should be operated with hands-on attention.
There are four Liberatore brothers (including Dante) and two other relatives, making for a total of six family members. BUT, the Timonium location (pictured here) has two family members running it. Which means, that the maximum number of Liberatore's restaurants the Liberatore family wants to operate is not six, but five.
Sorry, Owings Mills.
There is a new restaurant operating in the Owings Mills location on Groffs Mill Drive. It's called American Bistro, and Dante Liberatore says that they're nice people but they're not affiliated with Liberatore'.
Who's a Liberatore's fan?
