A family tradition on Allen Road.
Started by Frank & Nina Liberati, now carried forward by the second generation — Nick & Rachel Liberati.
Same recipes. Same counter. A new generation behind it.
For years, Frank & Nina built Liberati's into Allen Park's neighborhood Italian deli — the place for fresh bread, a hot piece of lasagna at lunch, and the party trays that show up at every family celebration Downriver.
Frank & Nina have now retired, and their son Nick and his wife Rachel have taken over as the second generation of owners. The family recipes — the meatballs, the sauces, the apple-walnut coffee cake and Grandma Sclafani's cannoli — aren't going anywhere.
More time enjoying food. Less time cooking it.
Liberati's provides superior choices for lunch and dinner — made with high-quality ingredients, served by friendly and polite people in a clean, well-lit store.
Our wholesome take-home meals need minimal preparation, so busy parents can spend more time with their families. We strive to be an active member of our community and to make it a better place to live — helping families spend less time cooking their food and more time enjoying it.
