These Italian good looking men know how to cook! Wonderful creative dishes. Most beautiful CLEAN restroom I have ever seen. Many laughs and great memories are made here. Please visit. Service over the top - attentive and professional.

Good atmosphere. Decent food if you consider the price. Service was excellent. Recommendations from the waitress were spot on.

The food and ambiance was amazing , the food was flavorful and the atmosphere was great but felt very crowded in the small space . Only one gender nurtural bathroom so at times there was a long line . Our server seemed to give decent service to everyone but our table , she gave every other table touches and only checked in once after we had already finished our food . We felt very rushed. Overall I would recommend this place for the food and if you're in a hurry for table service food.

Great service and excellent food! Very attentive to detail and requests for switching up food. With a gluten allergy an Italian restaurant is hard to find and they were more than accommodating. Will definitely be back!

Three of us had a wonderful lunch here. The bolognese, fettuccine Alfredo and mare Chiara all were perfect. Delicious! The beet salad was excellent and the tiramisu is one of the best. All fresh and fatto in casa. Attentive and friendly service. Well worth it and we will be back. This is an Italian speaking!

What a great tasty find! I was looking for a place to celebrate my mother's bday and I couldn't be any happier with Limoncello!!! And to top it off, my mother loved the food. That's a big win given how picky she is with food. The food was amazingly fresh and delicious! Had the chance to meet the owner and what a great person. Highly recommend it and looking forward to going back.

I understand why this place is highly rated. The food was scrumptious, the staff very attentive and pleasant, the place is clean. The food was served promptly with amazing presentation. This place is spotless and up to date. The patio is packed. We sat inside but happy they accommodated us without reservation- on a Saturday dinner hour

An absolute favorite of ours, you can't go wrong at Limoncello! Sit inside, sit outside, doesn't matter just go it's a winner. We have frequented Limoncello on several occasions and I can honestly say we have NEVER been disappointed. The entire team goes above and beyond to make feel welcome from start to finish. The front of the house and the back have their dance perfected. So many delicious choices throughout. The most difficult part of your evening will be narrowing down the selection. From the appetizers, to some outstanding salads ( try the beet salad), homemade slow cooked soups, pasta extraordinaire that is cooked to perfection (no overcooked pasta here), and the wild shrimp... oh the wild shrimp! Don't stop there I think it's a must to try a dessert. I favorite the lemon, but ALL are notable and worthy. Go with friends and keep and extra fork handy to sample the fare around the table. At dessert switch that extra fork to a spoon and dig in ... mouth watering goodness in every bit. Cannot wait to return!

I drove here from Orange as my husband wanted Italian food for his birthday dinner and it was the only 5 star Italian restaurant on Yelp. Not only was the food authentic and delicious, but Giovanni and his staff made it feel like a personalized experience! Giovanni at the end of our meal came over and chatted with us explaining that his food is pulled from multiple regions of Italy but inspired mostly from Naples area. Whatever region it was from it was delicious!

My girlfriend and I used to go to Il Sol which has been replaced by Limoncello. We were fans of the quality of Il Sol and decided to give Limoncello a try. Limoncello did not disappoint. Our dinner was fantastic. Service was excellent. We feel like we found another great local restaurant to enjoy. Thank you for an excellent dining experience.

The pasta was delicious. I had papparadelle scallscia which was good and my husband the fettuccine Alfredo. The Pane appetizer was just ok, wine selection not that great, the ambience was casual and we took home the Limenello dessert which was bland and not that tasty. Overall, just ok. We were camping close by so we won't return.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is delicious and can get a little pricey but worth it.

I held a bridal shower here last Sunday. Everything was amazing. Giovanni, the owner, set up a special menu for us and printed it out on the table settings. The food was to die for and the service was exceptional. I don't live in the area, but would come back when driving through to get me some more of that butternut squash ravioli and caprese salad. SOOOOO delicious. The food and service are top notch. Support this business!

Only came here to have a cup of coffee, cappuccino was good. Also ended up getting a dessert, their Nutella cheesecake with Oreos in a glass. It was incredibly delicious, very rich and satisfying for our sweet tooth. The server was Brittany and she was extremely friendly and helpful. Wait staff filled up our waters several times even though we only had a coffee and dessert. We will definitely come back for dinner as we what saw for orders looked and smelled delicious.
