Well server was a bit uppity and not very attentive, there was a far better wait staff on duty but ours was getting the majority of the tables. The food was either tasteless or cold. Manager came to apologize and offered free Gluten Free dessert and of course they were out.

We went with our 2 year old daughter who loves live music. We went to watch the musician that night because a friend of our told us it was really nice. Well, when the Owner noticed us watching the singer, she immediately asked if we wanted to move to a closer table. Yes! It was perfect. My daughter was enthralled the whole time and the server got our food out promptly! And the food was delicious!! Our daughter consumed their bolognese pasta and I loved the chicken Piccata! And their house Merlot was delicious and extremely reasonably priced. Overall a 10 for everything! The night went so so so nicely!! Thank you Limoncello Staff for a nice night out!!

We went with another couple last night. The food and the service was outstanding. We all loved our meals. It was busy in the restaurant so a bit loud but that really just added to the festive ambiance. A great experience!

Over the TOP. Just had a beautifully and perfectly prepared sangria, tried and loved the meatballs appetizer and tried an out of this world halibut in limoncello sauce and risotto which was on special. Ended the blessing with a limoncello cake. This restaurant is a Michelin contender. Our server was outstanding and the ambiance was beautifully decorated with the staff running as sharp as a clock.

Nice atmosphere, delicious food, good choice. Only negative - glass of wine was a small pour for the price. Otherwise, highly Recommend.

This was our first time dining at Limoncello South and I had high expectations because of the reviews. Wow, were we disappointed! The good points were that the waiter was friendly , the tea and the appetizers were good, and the lady and man walking around were very nice. The bad was the wait time on our dinners. We got one of the specials tonight, Lobster Fra Diablo and apparently you have to ask if you want it spicy. Normally it is spicy but that's minor. So we both asked for it to be spicy. Well, when we finally got our meals ( which took forever and even the nice lady said she was going to see what was taking so long and never came back to tell us ), what an utter disappointment. They both weren't spicy, had no flavor , and the pasta was basically floating in oily tomato sauce. At this point we didn't tell our waiter or the nice lady ( didn't get her name ) that the food wasn't good because we didn't want to wait for another two dishes to be prepared.Oh and another thing , I would watch the wait staff when they grab the martini glasses for the bartender, there was one waitress in particular, that every time she grabbed a martini glass she'd stick her thumb inside the glass! Gross! I mean the alcohol going into the glass probably killed any germs but still. Would you want to drink out of a glass that someone stuck their thumb in , I think not. So we didn't order any alcoholic beverages for that reason. When we were leaving there was a drunk couple dancing right in front of the door going out. I had to climb over a chair to go out the door and my boyfriend had to move the guy out of his way. Sadly we won't be returning to this establishment.

We went by the reviews on Google and we were expecting it to be great. Wow, were we disappointed! The only good points were the tea, appetizers , and some of the staff were friendly. Bad points , slow service , took forever to get our meals to only be disappointed by the lack of flavor and it wasn't hot. Didn't want to say anything because we didn't want to wait another long wait time for our food to be remade. We ordered the Lobster Fra Diablo each and both weren't spicy at all and very bland. We even asked for spicy . The pasta sauce itself had no flavor and was very oily. Bartender had a foul mouth so did the drunk lady at the bar who was over the top loud. Not to mention one of the waitresses, every time she'd grab a martini glass down she'd stick her thumb in the glass. Gross! I get it that probably the alcohol going into glass would kill any germs , but would you want to drink out of a glass that someone stuck their thumb in ? I think not . And upon leaving there was a drunk couple dancing in front of the door leaving the establishment. I had to climb over a chair to get out the door. My boyfriend had to move them so he could get out. Sadly , we won't be dining at this establishment again. I really had high hopes for this restaurant only to be utterly disappointed.

Celebrated my birthday. Martini's were outstanding. Tried a new one Ginger Martini. So good. All their pastas are outstanding. My husband had the grouper special and it was delicious too.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Limoncello. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like family. Our server, Enrica, was outstanding—she knew the menu inside and out and made fantastic recommendations. Her service was warm, knowledgeable, and truly exceptional.

The manager, Angelique, was just as impressive—attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about ensuring every guest has a great experience. It was also a joy to watch the entire team of servers work together; their chemistry and positive energy created such a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere.

And the food? Top notch. Every dish was packed with authentic Italian flavor and beautifully prepared. If you're looking for amazing, expertly crafted cocktails, this is your place—each drink was balanced, creative, and just as memorable as the food.

From start to finish, Limoncello exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to come back!

While the food was not bad, the whole experience was weird. We ordered a soup and a salad to start. By the time my husband was done having his soup my salad had not arrived. I ordered a martini and had to ask for it 3 times, to then be told that they ran out of cucumbers?? And had to go to Publix! I was starting to eat my salad when my main course arrived. Water glasses were empty and you had to ask for water repeatedly. Not interested in going back.
