Excellent food, exceptionable service and a warm family like atmosphere all added up to wonderful night out and experience. Thank you Massimo and Fausto for accommodating our large family group of 22 on a Saturday night. The food was fantastic, which is why my wife and I have always considered you one of our favorite restaurants and enjoy coming back time and again. Carolyn was our server and she was amazing! She was kind, patient, explained things out well, and was calming for such a large group, which helped us to really enjoy our dinner together. Great job done by all! Thank you!

Had an absolutely wonderful experience at Limoncello Italian Restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling overbearing.

The food was outstanding — beautifully presented, perfectly cooked, and full of authentic flavor. Every dish tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, the kind of meal you slow down to enjoy.

The ambiance truly elevated the whole evening — elegant yet comfortable, with a cozy atmosphere that’s perfect for both a relaxed dinner and a special night out. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

From the beginning to the finish simply fantastic. The host, the bar staff and wait staff were top tier and were more than accommodating for our group of 6. The drinks were well made, the salads came out relatively quick. It was Valentines day and bit later in night so we won’t hold the being out of some specials against them, but it forced me to step outside the box a bit. However I am glad I did because the pork osso buco was fantastic, the pork was tender fall off the bone, and quite a large portion. We left with leftovers and too full to try dessert but it will warrant a return visit.

Tried Lemoncello for the first time tonight and I already can’t wait to go back! The food was phenomenal and the atmosphere and location was super cute.

Update: I went back two weeks later and brought my husband this time. He loved it but thought my pork dish was better than the Chicken Parm. He loved the house Lemoncello salad dressing and whole general vibe of the place.

I had such a wonderful night out at Lemoncello. We were first brought to the add on room which in the past, I always seem to be seated in. We kindly asked to be changed to the regular dining room and they accommodated to a very nice table with an adorable mood light where you could change the light settings. This change of the setting made us so happy as I respond highly to atmosphere. The decor was very nice, with white table clothes. each course out slowly and separately brought out with good space in between to enjoy. We did not feel rushed and the waitress came by several times to check when we were ready to order and check on each course. We sipped our drink for 30 minutes before we ordered- apple martini and a beer for my man. We started with a lovely bread loaf followed by a large portion of artichoke french to share. We then shared a nice salad followed by a shared meal of borselli with Cheese filled purses with aglio e olio, white wine, artichokes, arugula and grape tomatoes. there was a side round with parmesan, red pepper and cracked salt and pepper to self serve. I love this since there was no limit to the parmesan. The waitress was very kind and accommodating brining an extra bowl to split the salad and pre-splitting the main course for us. I can see why the restaurant was so crowded. We had originally gone because there was music at 6pm, but this could not be heard as it was at the end of the bar which was so crowded, the music could not be heard from anywhere. Our seating was thankfully not in the bar and while it was somewhat noisy it felt calm and romantic. We skipped dessert since we had dessert at home ( a shared piece of key lime pie and baby cannoli dipped with chocolate shavings on the ends). We will most definitely return!

Visited here the other night with my Father in law for a nice dinner out. Carolyn K was an amazing server for us! When my Dad found out the Fra Diavolo was taken off the menu, she quickly helped us come up with an impromptu dish that met his challenging palate. He does not get out to dinner very often anymore so this extra effort by Carolyn to meet his needs was immensely appreciated! Scallops and Shrimp with a spicy red sauce – we will call it “the Dominic”. I had the Lemoncello Chicken and it was delicious. It was like a like creamy combination between lemon chicken and saltimbocca. I was not really hunger when I arrived but had No problem finishing the plate clean. My compliments to the chef! Thank you for a nice night out!

Arrived ahead of our reservation and had a lovely time at the bar during happy hour. The wings were delicious! Great chatter with other patrons……nice vibe!
Dinner did not meet our expectations….my wife’s chicken French was lacking flavour but also way too salty, it was exchanged for a lemoncello chicken which she did enjoy. I ordered the bolognese….lousy! Tasted like dry ground beef tossed with noodles….dry and unpleasant.
The waitress did ask if I wanted anything else, but never acknowledged nor apologized for the lousy bolognese. We’re from out of town and have raved to friends about Lemoncello, but I hate to say, but the last couple of visits have not been memorable….

We had a party of 11 at Lemoncello’s, and while the service was outstanding, Abby, our server, was attentive, friendly, and efficient however; the meal itself was disappointing. Several of us ordered the Lemoncello Chicken, which was tough, dry, and lacked the usual garnishes. Another dish, the Chicken Alfredo, needed to be doctored up with parmesan and pepper. The restaurant explained that the chef wasn’t present and it was a busy night, but that’s no excuse; customers shouldn’t have to pay the price for staffing issues. The response to our feedback felt defensive and didn’t offer a way to make it right. Excellent service can’t fully make up for a meal that leaves you dissatisfied, and that’s ultimately what matters when you’re paying for a good meal.

**“UPDATE / RESPONSE TO OWNER:

Thank you for your reply. While I understand the chef is on leave and that your sous chefs have stepped in, those internal circumstances weren’t communicated to us during our visit. As a paying customer, I can only review the quality of the food and service we actually received.

I also acknowledge that you prepared items not on the menu and provided the room without a minimum, but those gestures don’t change the fact that the overall experience did not meet the standard your restaurant is known for. My review reflects that experience accurately.

I’m not dismissing your explanation, but it doesn’t invalidate my feedback. I hope it’s taken constructively, as intended.

The atmosphere here was awesome. Staff was very friendly and obviously enjoyed working there. The rack of lamb was amazing, perfectly cooked and very tender, top notch. The handmade gnocchi in vodka sauce was fantastic, best vodka sauce I’ve ever had. Loved the Lemoncello cake, which came highly recommended. Can’t wait to go back!
