We've been coming here for years and the food and service is wonderful!! We always recommend Il Limone to anyone that's in town and wants Italian. Stop in and give it a try, it's always delicious!! read more

Ordered take out. Got a large cheese pizza and an order of wings. The star was the pizza. It was very good. Could have use a little bit longer on the cook, next time I will ask for it well done. The wings were not very good at all. It's my fault, this isn't a traditional pizza shop, I can't imagine wings are their thing. I'll say, when I was waiting for the food, the stuff coming out and going to tables looked excellent. Service at the front was excellent. Owner came out and greeted people a few times as well. Would go back. read more

Be prepared for a little bit of a wait and try and not to be a jerk about it. It's a brand new restaurant in Onondaga county and let's try and welcome them with open arms. I noticed too many arrogant people demanding their people while waiting for a pickup. That being said. It's hands down the best NY Style pizza within a 35 mile radius. It's far beyond Pavones, Mario & Salvos......it's great and worth the struggle to get your hands on a pie. The crust, the sauce, the cheese, the flop.....it's all perfect. Just do yourself a favor and try it. Enjoy! read more

Recently opened, out first time visiting. They are still getting staffed up and use to call in and dine in orders. So, you need to be patient and give them time to settle in. We were sad that we weren't able to try their pizza since they were overloaded with orders (good sign!) so we ordered dinners and were not disappointed. The sauce is fantastic and their lasagna is among the best that I've had. Super nice staff and great service from our server, Jill. Thank you all. Looking forward to our next visit soon. read more

Il limone - Pasta, eggplant and lasagna. - Pizza Near Me - Liverpool, New York

Luckily, we went for an early dinner because by 6 PM. The place was packed. And for good reason. The food here is authentic Italian and delicious. The pasta was made on premises. I had ravioli. We started with Arancini, which was quite good. The appetizer portions are quite large so prepare to take a go home bag with you. Highly recommend this place. read more

Stopped in for an early dinner on a Sunday. Place looks the same as Canales except The bar is gone and additional tables. We had high hopes but it was not to be. Side salads with Italian dressing were good, small bread was good, ordered two meatballs. They were gigantic but very blah tasting. Meal of lasagna looked great but was so salty, like an entire box of Salt was used. Could not finish. The pasta primavera came with penne pasta , some veggies and oily tomato sauce. Huge Portion but totally flavorless. Just wet pasta. I do want to like this place but the food wasn't great and the prices are very high for a bowl of pasta . An order of lasagna , pasta Primavera , two meatballs and two sodas came to $80 with tip. Sorry but too pricey for just pasta. read more

A family run restaurant with family that welcomes you upon arrival. Everyone including our servers couldn't be nicer. Unfortunately I wish I could give the food a better compliment. We started off with the fried calamari. It was a generous portion but it was not cooked properly and was very rubbery. The chicken parmigiana seemed as though it was battered instead of coated in breadcrumbs. It had a different texture and flavor than breadcrumbs. It also could have been the oil or the way they fried it but it was not what I expected. The eggplant parmigiana was a generous portion and okay but nothing special. I really like to support small businesses, especially family run ones but I'm not sure if I would go back. read more

I'm a huge pizza fan (who isn't) so I wanted to try this place out as it's only 5 minutes from home. We did take out from here on a Sunday night. There are so many places for pizza in Liverpool, so I always like to try out new places close by. The Good: The pizza was pretty decent. I'm a fan of all types so I can get down with a heavy handed sauce, or cheese. I can also appreciate just the right amount. The sauce was heavy on this pizza and it had a good taste. This pizza is something akin to Avicolli's or Francesca's so if you like those, you'll probably like Il Limone as well. We also ordered eggplant parm sub (see below). The eggplant was tasty it had a good flavor and was breaded and casseroled. I did like the sauce on both the pizza and the eggplant. I felt like there could have been a bit more sauce on the eggplant. I like my Italian food saucy. The restaurant was really cute and nicely decorated. It would be a decent date night location. The Bad: when I called I definitely ordered an eggplant parm sub, but we got a dinner instead. I didn't raise a complaint with the restaurant, so I'm not REALLY bent outta shape, because I never gave them the chance to make it right (it's probably not fair to mention it here), but it was a little mistake. Not the end of the world. I thought the pizza and the eggplant both had a bit too much cheese for our liking. I mean I still ate it no problem, just be prepared for that, if that's something you like/don't like. In summary: I would go back here again, but it's not my top choice. I have a place for Italian dinners that never disappoints (they always make it just how I like it without me having to ask for anything special) and a place for pizza I feel the same way about, but they are both a 20 minute drive from home (one way) read more

Menu is great. Dining in, management always stops by to check on you. Service is great. Wish they had a full bar. Pizza is delicious. Dinners are great portions. Take out is excellent. Almost always ready when time promised. Ample parking. read more

Great NYC style pizza. Chicken parm pizza is amazing! Crust is crunchy and chewy inside. My go to pizzeria when in the Syracuse area.

My daughter and I went for dinner last night and while it was t our first time there, it has been exceptional every time we've been there, or ordered takeout. I got the eggplant Parmesan, and my daughter had the spaghetti and meatballs. She judges places by their meatballs and she loved them the eggplant was delicious as well. I grew up in an Italian family and I cannot wait for my Dad to come for a visit so I can take him here. The owner even stopped by at the end of the meal. Oh and we took home limoncello cake and tiramisu, both excellent as well. read more

After seeing a friend's post about this place my family and I decided to try it. We had a big group of us together and decided to try the grandma style, white, plain and pepperoni pizzas. When my BIL arrived to pick up our pizzas there was a wait even though they were supposed to be done. When my BIL got back to the house our first impression was that all of the pizzas looked great and we were excited to dig in. I tried the plain and white pizzas first which I thought were pretty good. The dough was definitely the star as a pizza crust lover this pizza definitely was a treat in that department. Everyone thought the pizza was good and would get again. read more

My favorite restaurant in the world. We're treated like family, not to mention the amazing food! So glad we live so close! And leave room for the limoncello cake but try the lasagna! Homemade mozzarella! Nobody does it better! read more

My fiancé and I ate at Il Limone last night. We loved the fried appetizer, and the staff was somewhat pleasant but could've been nicer. However, when our dinners came out, my fiance's rigatoni had THREE long, dark hairs hidden in the food. We asked a passing waitress for new food, and she asked if we put the hairs on the food because we had picked them out. We said no, and we were not offered comped food or a free dessert. That will be our last time eating there. read more

Busy little place. I've tried the chicken marsala, and their meatballs. The portions are very nice and the food was very tasty. The staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is quiet and modern. No complaints. read more

This was our second time here. They really make you feel like family. We put our name in, one of the owners took our drink order and brought it to us. My husband had Blue Moon beer and I had a glass of Sauvingon Blanc. Even though they said 45 minutes , it was more like 10 minutes until we were seated. The place was packed, the music was playing. The food smelled wonderful. We were served fairly quickly. Started with Caprese and my husband had Caesar salad. Of course, they brought hot rolls and olive oil before our salads. Many of the guests here on Friday night seemed like they knew the owners. Our dinners were wonderful too. My husband had fettuccine Alfredo and I had the spaghetti and meatballs. (Can you say gigantic meatballs?) we went home with leftovers and we ordered two pieces of lemoncello cake to take home. Totally worth every penny of the reasonable price. These people love the food they make and they love serving you. All the servers are friendly. The teamwork is evident. The young hostess and the owner hostess both cleared tables. This little hole in the wall in the Glens Crossing Mall is so much more than you would ever expect from the outside. When we left, we even ran into some old very Italian people we know from earlier in our days. They love this place too. We will be back. Next time, we're gonna try a "special" at dinner. read more

They have gluten free options. Everyone's food was amazimg.......HUGE portions Lasagna. Ravioli. chicken marsala. and Alfredo. ABSOLUTELy AMAZIMG will definitely go back read more

I wish I had taken pictures of the food. Everything was AMAZING! My husband and I split the meatball appetizer and the Nonni Pizza and we also got to try the fried mozzarella that our friends ordered. The mozzarella for the appetizer and the pizza is made in house and you can tell. The taste and freshness is remarkable. Our server was fantastic and the owner even stopped by having made the rounds to all tables. It was such a nice gesture. Although we live about an hour away, we will definitely be back! read more

The night we were there for dinner everything was great! The staff was warm and inviting. We were sat immediately, water and bread with olive oil were brought right over. Our dinners were amazing! HUGE portions! Chicken Parmesan and chicken Franchise were delicious! The restaurant is on the small side, but decorated well with Italian touches. The owner was working and making it a point to stop at each table. Will definitely be back. read more

This place is amazing and as authentic as it gets. Their meatballs taste as close to mine as I have ever had. It's our favorite Italian place hands down and the owners are so sweet! read more

Food... Authentic Italian. Top quality, generous portions. Staff... professional, but treat you like you're family! Ambiance...like being in their dining room! Grateful they chose Syracuse for their home! read more

The hospitality was very welcoming. The pasta and sauce quoted by Charlie "Tasted like School pasta." The meatballs had little seasoning but did the job. The calamari was acceptable. The chicken Marsala looked very dry and unseasoned. The grilled vegetables were fantastic with great flavor and felt like they have been cooking all morning. The real savior of the meal had to be the vegetables. read more

Excellent pizza, had the gramma slice nice crisp and taste, and CJ offered the Buffalo roll!! Definitely headed back for more!!

What a treat, homemade Italian food that was amazing. Very generous portions. Adriana, our server, was very attentive to our needs. Food was perfect temperature, oh & thanks for taking tails off the shrimp in my dish. I have ordered similar dishes locally & have had to pull them off myself, which when there is sauce involved is just silly & messy. Also, glad to see your expansive GF menu, my friend is GF & had quite a selection to choose from, this is great!!! I did not order dessert, but will save room next time! See you soon! read more

Clean, great food, accommodating service! Server was friendly and accurate with our orders! Top notch! read more

The servings are more than generous and well prepared for the price per plate. I had seafood linguine, and they definitely don't hold back on the number of mussels, clams, calamari rings and shrimp. I'm pretty proud of my wife's Italian cooking and we were both impressed by the red sauce on her raviolis. It's a busy place and our server was top notch. I would say that the high quality of the food that they prepare you in the portions that they serve is a real bargain and hard to match in the area. read more

Fantastic food, it was very well made and was probably the best Italian food I've had.Very nice people. Great place for a date.

Greeted quickly with smiles. Restaurant was nearly empty with staff standing around chatting and scrolling on their phones. Our server quickly answered questions about recommendations. Nicely warmed breadsticks arrived with olive oil for dipping quite awhile after we were seated. After ordering it was an eternity before appetizers arrived. Soup special wasn't good. Salad looked very fresh. Entrees arrived after a short wait once our appetizers were gone. The bread promised with our meals arrived when we had nearly finished them. Our server disappeared for an extensive (& quite frankly inappropriate) amount of time as we waited for our check and a to go box. The entrees were flavorful but fresh mushrooms should have been used as opposed to canned and sauces were skimpy on the 2 dishes we ordered. There was a horrible glare reflecting off autos in the lot and shining directly into my eyes thru the ultra thin sheers on the windows. There was something nasty dangling at the top of one of the windows I was facing. Loud regular customers were shouted greetings across the restaurant disturbing our meal. Just Inappropriate We won't go back. read more

Oh my gosh. The food is amazing. I've been several times and each time it's been delicious. My parents came to visit and they have been itching to go back. The owner came by the table to check that everything was delicious and even chatted with them. Now that the pizzeria and restaurant is split it is much quieter in the restaurant side and there hasn't been a long wait like there used to be. read more

I shouldn't diss a place just bc i didn't care for their pizza. That was all i tried besides the rolls they set on the table w a little flavored oil were good. Our waitress was attentive brought r drinks right away. I know how to make pizza n ohaceny favorite places. So of course to each their own on style n flavor so go check out the new place. read more

Very good food. Service was excellent. Have been here for lunch twice. Highly recommend.

Haven't had a chance to eat here yet because the wait has been so long and when we tried they were only doing pizza. However, I don't think that a long wait or limited menu or short staffing justifies a low rating, especially when they are a brand new restaurant. Can't wait to try them, only have heard good things, just want to give them time to settle in. read more

Il Limone Liverpool - run, don't walk to this place. The food, the service, it was all an experience I couldn't wait to share with others because of how positive it was - from the first phone call to place the order, to picking up the order. I ordered catering from them - based off of recommendations on here for the best lasagna. You all did not disappoint me. I am not a huge lasagna lover but it's my husband's favorite. I love. This. Lasagna. From the layers to the perfect amount of cheese and sauce - I could tell someone took pride in making it. Also, the meatballs, I am now craving - they were so good! I was greeted by one of the owners in the Pizzeria (the restaurant is 2 doors down) - C. J. He helped me with picking up the catering and ensuring I was all set - all with a smile and letting me know more about his restaurant. While I waited for the catering to be loaded into my car, C. J. offered me a slice of pizza. At C. J.'s recommendation, I tried the chicken parm pizza - not a choice I normally would make but I am so glad I listened. The pizza was delicious. You can tell the quality of the ingredients. They make their mozzarella cheese and sauce - along with their homemade dishes. Their cheese is amazing - you can tell it's not your average mozzarella cheese. I could see the pride C. J. has in his restaurant. Everyone at the party raved about the food - I couldn't wait to tell them where I got it from. I can't wait to go back and I highly recommend this place - both the pizzeria and the restaurant. read more

Stopped by here last minute as I was booked at the super 8 across the street. I ordered the margherita pizza, avocado salad and tortellini soup. It came to $41. It was all quite good and plenty for dinner for two. They didn't have plates or utensils and probably are best for a sit down meal. The atmosphere is charming and cozy. read more

service was TERRIBLE. waiter was extremely rude and had so much attitude, we traveled almost two hours to get our daughter a prom dress and the worker at prom central told us about this place. my wife had asked a questíon about the "sAuSaGe and PoTaToE soup" and this lady SANPPED when my wife said "is it like the zupa soup from Olive Garden?" "Well first of all we're NOTHING like Olive Garden, smacks her teeth at us and said "it's potato and sausage" and walked away. Weird flex Is our money not worth the same as the people behind us? LOL. read more

We were unfortunately very disappointed in our experience at Il limone. Although I have the understanding that they are short staffed, it's quite obvious the family must have little to no experience in running a restaurant. We waited in line to be seated for close to a half an hour as the owner's son refused to seat people or take take-out orders until his phone timer went off in attempt to keep the kitchen staff from being overwhelmed. There's no reason why dine-ins shouldn't be seated and atleast given the opportunity to start with drinks. I would suggest delegating the hosting position to one specific person who stays in the front of the house. They could also take take-out orders and cash out people up front. This would really help with turn around times. I would also suggest to delegate the running of food from the kitchen and salad-making to one specific person, rather than having so many servers on during one shift. It looks as though they do not use a point of sale computer system, which would really make an improvement. There were also a few minor health code violations that were visible. Their beverages were held in a bucket of ice directly placed on the floor in front of the whole restaurant and none of the kitchen staff was wearing hats or bandanas over their hair. When it comes to the food, the meatballs and sauce were spectacular, which really is all that I can say that was positive. However, our Caesar salad had no cheese and our L'Antonia had raw arugula and cherry tomatoes that could have at least been dressed with lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper. The wait time was very long and it was clear multiple items of our orders were forgotten about. The brother and sister were not communicating, which was apparent to not only the guests, but also seemed to be to make the staff uncomfortable. This place does have potential, I hope they are willing to take constructive criticism or hire a restaurant manager with experience. read more

Il limone - L'Antonia - Pizza Near Me - Liverpool, New York

We went for early dinner and we were able to get a table for four easily. The service was quick and courteous in a comfortable setting. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Food was delicious , servings were ample( we took home leftover for lunch the next day. I live limoncello so I ordered a limoncello cake and it was delicious. Food was well seasoned as opposed to some restaurants I have gone to where the food was too salty. I think restaurants should ease up on the salt and allow customers to salt the food themselves. I would recommend this restaurant to friends. Will return to fine again. read more
