Liberta — Restaurant in Paris

We were so pleased to learn the chicken is halal so we were very excited to try. There was minimal wait and the lady working the front was very nice. Unfortunately our server was not very attentive. He gave us the menu and never came back. I believe we had to ask the front lady to see if we can get the order in in the end. We got the Rigatoni Poulet et Champignons and Rigatoni Pesto rouge et Poulet. The mushroom rigatoni was quite possibly the best pasta I have ever had it packed a punch full of flavour - which may not be as per authentic Italian but it was much suited to my liking. The rigatoni pesto was quite the opposite in that it was not bad but it lacked a distinct flavour so it was quite far from the best we have had but not exactly the worst. I believe this was prepared to be more authentic Italian, perhaps? Anyhow, we were waiting for a while for each extra item we needed so service by our waiter left a lot to be desired. However, it seems there was a change of waiter staff and I was able to flag down a new waiter that looked to have just started. We had a long chat with him about the food and our experience and he was happy to share more details about the dish, the restaurant and even gave us some tips on what to go see that is within walking distance. This waiter was Zain. He was very friendly and charming. Although we only spoke to him for a few minutes he certainly left us with an overall positive experience. I feel had the pesto rigatoni been more flavourful and we didn’t have to wait so long for service before Zain showed up, it would be a...

I don’t enjoy leaving bad reviews unless it is 100% necessary. While visiting Paris I’ve enjoyed every restaurant I’ve been to, until I came here…THIS WAS ONE OF THE WORST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCES I’VE HAD. When my mom and I walked in and saw the place empty, we knew something was up. The service was very poor. Our server didn’t even know how to open a bottle of wine so he had to go find someone to help him, which I’ve never seen before. This resulted in our food arriving before the wine, which I’ve also never seen before. When the food arrived, it was room temperature and didn’t taste very good at all. It’s very hard to screw up a simple pasta dish. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE THINKING ABOUT EATING HERE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT RESTAURANTS IN THE CITY. YOU SHOULD NOT SETTLE ON THIS PLACE....

Unfortunately, we cannot confirm the many positive feedbacks here. While the Rigatoni à la truffe were quite tasty, the Gnocchi à pesto et poulet were not salty enough. We'd say the food was overall "OK" at best, but basically everything else was not: food was almost cold when served service was very slow (time until order, until food was brought, until payment); a couple at the table next to us even left because of the long waiting time rather packed dishes, chairs, and tables not very clean

We felt that nobody was actually responsible for us and there was a general lack of organisation (we were served by different waiters, got wrong drinks, tables around us got bread while we didn't) leading to a feeling of mass processing and not being welcome...
