We started with a split Caesar salad, which was great. My wife had the Branzino with escarole and I had the Linguine with littleneck clams and a side order of broccolini. My wife loved Limoncello's preparation of her Branzino and I enjoyed my Linguine entree, with one exception. The sauce that the Linguine was cooked in was so watery that it was nearly impossible to avoid getting it on my shirt. I would suggest an oil and garlic sauce or a reduction of the current sauce. Otherwise, we both enjoyed our dinners. The service was excellent. We were glad that we made a reservation through Open Table, as the restaurant was crowded for a Sunday night.

We have been to Limoncello three times so far and the food never disappoints. This last time the service was not very good. We have been here when it was packed and the service was much better. We went during lunch time and the tables were not full. Our waitress was par at the best. She took our order, dropped off our drinks and we never saw her again. Had to ask another waitress to have her come back to fill our water and bring our check. She seemed not to care if we were there or not. Would go back for the food though.

We both split the Caesar salad and each had the delicious Branzino entree. My wife had a Limoncello Martini and the Zabliogni dessert. Everything was great.

Incredible octopus appetizer. Entree portions were very large, we wished we had split one appetizer and one entree! Outstanding service. Warm and inviting ambiance.

Two of us split 3 appetizers for lunch--calamari, scallops and brussel sprouts. All three were delicious and we left full and happy.

We were greeted warmly and put at a cute corner table. Our server was wonderful and kind and the food, delicious. My mom turned 82 that day and we felt properly feted by dining at Limoncello. The desserts were wonderful. A great menu with something for everyone.

We had dinner on a Friday night. We had a reservation, which was honored fairly quickly. The restaurant was EXTREMELY crowded and noisy. The service that we received was poor - probably due to the staff being overwhelmed. The food was good but the noise and poor service diminished our enjoyment of our evening. We have eaten there in the past and had a much more pleasant experience.

We have lunch at Limoncello oftern throughout the year and we generally go around noon, right when they open. The last two times that we went there, once taking our family for the first time, there was an intense astringent odor that is very off-putting. Whatever cleaner they are using has an unusually strong aroma....it was particularly acute in the bathrooms where the floors were wet from having been recently cleaned. We will go again because their menu is wonderful as is the food. However, we are hoping that they will try to tone down the astringent odor.
