Reviews
We had a pleasant experience being welcomed and waited on. The staff were very professional and gave us the time any information needed to decide on our courses. The menu is largely Italian, so don’t expect much else. They did have a burger. The dishes arrived fast and in quick succession.
The dishes themselves felt like a bit of a letdown, mostly since they all tasted bland. The calamari fritter was very nice though. We were joking about not choosing olive garden instead. The portion sizes are pretty generous though (except the four cheese pizza that was unexpectedly small).
Overall, Casa Limone offers a pleasant environment for somewhat private conversations over a meal. Expensive but not unjustified. However the taste/experience of the dish could get better.
Great place! Food was awesome and the atmosphere was perfect. High level of attention to detail from every member of the staff. Worth coming back to try out other dishes.
The vibe is very cozy and is a good date spot before a show you have. Drinks were also reasonably priced, and worth a try. Wait staff was very friendly, made the effort to wipe down the tables each course and filled our water without needing to ask everything.
Additionally, the fried calamari was a standout with its super fresh and crispy texture. However, it’s worth noting that the portion size was a bit small, which was a disappointment.
My friends and I were excited to visit this restaurant before seeing a show in the evening. We chose this restaurant because we saw they offered a pre-theater menu, which we anticipated would mean the service would be quick. We arrived on time for our reservation and were seated immediately on the second floor. However, we were still waiting over 20 minutes later for someone to take our order. We ended up having to find someone in the restaurant to take our order and he was helpful, but told us this wasn’t normally his section and pointed out the woman who should’ve been taking our order, who only came to check on us after we had been seated for an hour.
We received our first course 25 minutes later (butternut squash soup and misticanza salad). The time was now 6:45. The misticanza salad was the best part of my meal and worthy of five stars. I didn’t try the soup, but one of my friends did. We received our main course 25 minutes later and for my poor friend who hadn’t ordered the pre-theater dinner, she was waiting an hour and ten minutes after being seated for her meal! By the time we finished eating the main course it was 7:25 and again we had tickets to a performance. I ordered the penne alla pomodoro and the sauce was very disappointing. It tasted like they had just warmed canned tomato sauce and poured it on top. Unfortunately it was some of the worst pasta I’ve ever received at a restaurant in NYC. We had to find someone in the restaurant to ask for our check and to see if they could quickly bring out the desserts we had ordered. We received our desserts by 7:40, however, we had hoped to be walking over to our show by that time and not having to quickly gulp down dessert. I had the lemon meringue vanilla sponge cake for dessert and it was okay. I liked it enough, but wouldn’t recommend the dessert and it certainly wouldn’t make me want to come back to the restaurant just to have it again…the salad maybe.
Overall the service was atrocious and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially if you tickets to see a performance. The four men sitting at the table behind us were also complaining about the lack of service and stopped one of the waiters to enquire what was taking so long to receive their food.
PROS
* beautiful interior design
* misticanza salad
* quiet dining experience despite being busy
