Limonata by Paninos

Service was smooth and consistent throughout.

Service: 5

As longtime Fort Collins residents, we were really excited to try the new Paninos. We had a good experience overall with some delicious food and good service, but there are some definite improvements to be made with the ambiance.
We were seated in a booth between the kitchen and the indoor patio. There is a super high-pitched alarm sound coming out of the kitchen every 30 seconds or so, totally obnoxious and I’m surprised the manager hasn’t noticed this. Sitting in those booths, you’re also subjected to the constant noise and vibration of the door to the outdoor patio opening and closing. Again, obnoxious and a detractor from the overall experience.
The Margarita Limonata was fantastic, so delicious. As was the Burrata Limonata Salad. I was underwhelmed by the lasagna (too much red sauce and too-spicy sausage) but my partner loved his Steak ‘n Bac panino.
We’d like to give it another try, hopefully with improved ambiance to match the $90 bill for two people.

My mom and I went for lunch and I cannot recommend it enough, we got a salad, an app, and a flatbread and seriously i can’t pick a favorite. The vibes were cute, our server lizzy was sweet, 10/10

We were disappointed when the Post went out of this location, but Limonata's is a great little surprise. Nothing fancy about the decor, but I love the little glass lamps and hefty blown glass water glasses. Nice touches without putting tons of money into unnecessary renovations, which always seems wasteful to me. My husband raced about his pizza and we both thoroughly enjoyed the limonata burrata as an appetizer. There are healthy and fresh options, like having my Chicken Parm served over veggies rather than pasta. Service was fantastic - attentive and genuine, not gushy. Thanks! We'll be back.

My partner and I had a great meal at Limonata. We had the Margherita pizza as an appetizer, and for entrees we had the baked chicken Alfredo and the Red Snapper special. All were fantastic, great taste texture and presentation. We recommend each of them. We ended up getting the crème brûlée for dessert which was one of the best we’ve had. The service was top notch throughout, our server was courteous and timely, as was the pace that our dishes arrived. We never felt we were waiting for any step of the meal for longer than expected. This was on a Saturday night at 7:15pm and it was pretty busy but they clearly kept up with quality during the rush.

We were seated outside on their patio and it was really pleasant and a good volume for easy conversations. The indoor area seemed to be a bit louder, especially the covered 3 season patio area. Overall a good atmosphere.

This is a great little restaurant, we definitely plan to try again and can see this becoming a regular spot for us.

I can't say enough great things about our server. He was great! The food was good. The best was the appetizer called poppers. I may have to work there just so I can learn to make it. We sat at the inside patio. You could still see remnants of Ihop. The inside looked nice and next time I'm going to try and get a reservation inside.

We loved Limonata! Drinks were fresh and flavorful (the blackberry lemonade is a must-try). The Spinach Artichoke Panino Poppers were gone before we could even take a picture. Huge portions, great service, and every dish — from the spaghetti and meatballs to the chicken parmesan, baked chicken alfredo, and pesto panino — was packed with flavor. Cozy vibe, great food, and definitely worth a visit! Great for lunch or even date night. Only thing negative was trying to find a parking spot.

***update- John was quick to respond and correct. A genuine error. Service and food were amazing. Very disappointed that we were charged for limoncello aperitifs that were given to us by the manager ( we did not order them, he just showed up at our table with them. really put a dark cloud on an otherwise great meal.

And it was great. My husbands mezcal cocktail was yummy too. The food was tasty and service was good! We will be back.

We came here to celebrate my Aunt's birthday, and holy cannoli, this place is a gem! The food was a full-on flavor fiesta, and the cocktails were basically potions of pure happiness. Just when we thought it couldn't get better, the desserts swooped in to win the night. But the real VIP? The house-made Limoncello. It was like sipping liquid sunshine – perfectly smooth and just sweet enough. The whole place is decked out like a dreamy trip to the Amalfi Coast. 10/10 would celebrate anything and everything here!

Absolutely love this restaurant! Have had three wonderful meals here so far and will definitely keep returning. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners John and Marie and they made us feel like family and us being Italian hit very close to home for us. Wonderful couple! Also our first visit we had Jason as our server and he was so personable and knowledgeable about the menu items and helped us choose. Also a great big shout out to our server the other day, Lizzie, hoped I spelled that right. She was so friendly and also very personable and made us two fabulous Canolis to take home with us and she made us feel like she has known us for years! Loved her! Thank you for this fabulous place! Love everything about it! Sandy C. Fort Collins
