Amazing Food, Great Service and delightful Ambience at Limoncello in Chester Springs, PA

We came here for our best friends baby shower on April 11th. Limoncello was good between all the decorations being part of the celebration, food was good, the bar was constantly busy and the servers checked in frequently to see if anyone needed anything. We saw a couple of celebrations were happening at the same time. It was good to experience the space you are in without it being a distraction from another celebration. Limoncello is surrounded by other businesses in a big shared parking lot. It is all on the ground floor, no second level. Beautiful celebration taken place at Limoncello. read more

Had dinner there tonight with friends. Hostesses and most of the staff were clueless and even a little rude. The first hostess didn't know what table to seat us at (obviously a new hire). The second hostess just walked by us and didn't even apologize for the confusion. Then she seemed annoyed that we asked for a different table because the one they were going to give us was in a crowded room and noisy as well. Thank god for our waiter. He knew the menu and was able to make suggestions for my wife who is gluten free. Food was ok in but a little skimpy on portion size. My entree was dried out looked like it was under a heat lamp too long. Overall a good experience, but it would not be my first choice next time. Maybe a 6 out of 10. read more

Limoncello absolutely exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance transported me straight into an old-world Italian dining experience was warm, charming, and full of character. The service was excellent; everyone was so attentive and genuinely welcoming. To start, they bring out complimentary fresh Italian bread with sesame seeds and a fresh tomato focaccia on crostinis--such a delicious touch and the perfect way to begin the meal. I ordered the strawberry Hugo, which was perfectly refreshing--light, crisp, and the ideal way to ease into dinner. Then came the seafood, and WOW. The shrimp, scallops, and calamari were cooked to perfection, tender and full of incredible flavor. Every bite tasted fresh and delicious. I truly can't wait to go back for more. Limoncello is definitely a gem worth returning to again and again! read more

We went to Limoncello on an early Saturday evening in December to celebrate my stepson's birthday. This was our first time here and what stands out is that the restaurant is decorated beautifully, especially now for Christmas. Surprisingly, we were seated in the outdoor area. It was fine since there were heaters, but inside looked like a nicer atmosphere. We all enjoyed our food and wine. We had appetizers of Maria's Meatballs and Arancini. I definitely preferred the Arancini which was fried risotto balls stuffed with mozzarella and peas. Our entrees ranged from my Veal Limoncello to my stepson's Filet Mignon. He loved his steak, I thought my veal was good. All in all, I'd say the food here was okay, but the seating and the service could have been better. read more

Delicious food and drinks. The place gets packed, so make sure you have a reservation. Cool outdoor seating that turns into outdoor dining in the wintertime with heaters and covers. The food is consistently very good. Prices are reasonable compared to other restaurants in the same league. Our servers very friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. read more

This place is usually very good... Unfortunately, my friend and I both had bad meals there last night. To be fair, it was a Saturday night and the restaurant was crazy busy. We each ordered a chicken dish. Mine was the Chicken Limoncello. Chicken in a lemon sauce with asparagus and pasta. Absolutely tasteless and was screaming for salt. It was a watery mess. I ate some and took the rest home for my dog. My friend's chicken Messina was not much better and she took most of it home for her dog. The bread was stone cold and I had to ask 2 times for butter for the bread. The free bruschetta was tasty tho.... Ironically, the cold bread and butter was the best part of the meal!! With one glass of wine each plus tax and tip, we each dropped $50. ... for food we each went home and feed to our dogs. Save your money and just go to Pomodoro in Downingtown. They do a first class, bang up job! read more

Three of us stopped in for a Sunday early dinner post theatre and Peoples. We knew that they did BYOB with no corkage fee on a Sunday but what we didn't know was that they even had a happy hour menu that runs 4 to 6 Sunday through Friday. The food and portions were outstanding even from the happy hour menu had our favorite pear & porchittie raviolis, some spinachraviolis, and the Grigiolla De peche. Great food - great value. read more

Waited two hours for cat food, got put into a corner and the waiter checked on us only three times in the span of the time we were there eating for our food. I would've rather went to Taco Bell. read more

We rolled into Limoncello after being outdoors at a con, in the heat, fairly close to their closing time. (Like 2 hours out, we're not heathens!) We were overheated, tired, and probably a little underdressed, but the restaurant welcomed us and sat my party of 4 at a lovely table in one of their dining rooms. Limoncello is a beautiful place in the middle of a strip mall. It shouldn't be as nice as it is. But we pulled in based on their hours and nearness to pur hotel. We couldn't have been hapo8er with our experience. Then service was knowledgeable a d attentive. Our glasses a d bread basket were refilled. We enjoyed the bruschetta brought to our table. My husband had shrimp and crab fra diavolo. It was spicy enough and a perfect portion, with generous seafood. Our friend had the Pescatore and it was a very large portion with a lot of each of the various included seafood items. I had Chicken Limoncello, which was an amazing combination of Chicken Francese and Chesapeake and I absolutely loved it. I cleaned my plate. I forget what my son had. I highly recommend Limoncello. Its a beautiful space, with great service and great food. read more

Listen, I'm a foodie. I was brought up on not good food, but excellent food! This place was amazing. It was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Let's start with the appetizer. I had the friend calamari. Usually when I like something, I'm not going to share. Given I was with my parents and siblings and grew up eating fish probably 3 nights a week until I was 12, I decided to share it. Literally the best I've had outside of San Francisco. For dinner I had the Pear & Cheese Saccheti. OMG!!!! Gorgeous pasta stuffed with absolute deliciousness! Total Bussin! Amanda was our waitress and she was AMAZING! My family is not always the easiest. I've been dreaming about those perfect pillows of deliciousness and writing this review, my mouth is watering. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My husband had his go to of Chicken Parm. I enjoyed it. The restaurant is really nice and the ambiance would be great for a snuggled dinner date! Wonderful celebration for my dad's 85th birthday! read more

Sadly, Chester Springs is inferior compared to West Chester. We ordered the fried calamari and it was rubbery with no crispness, clearly cooked in oil not nearly hot enough. The chicken dish was ok but, in West Chester, it is so much better. The worst part was the mashed potatoes, we were told they were "homemade", but they tasted exactly like over salted, dehydrated boxed potatoes I once ate as a child, just terrible. West Chester is farther away, but we won't be back to Chester Springs until they hire a new head chef. read more

We recently celebrated a birthday at Limoncello and food was fantastic! Great specials, complimentary bread and bruschetta, and appetizers/meals were all great. Service was also great - our server Nick was very friendly and attentive! The only thing I'd say is it was very loud and difficult to hear each other at the table. Aside from the noise, it was a wonderful experience and highly recommend! read more

Update. On 8/18, we held our daughter's birthday party for the family. I am reversing my opinion and giving them 5 stars. Everyone raved about their dinners plus our waitress was outstanding. Great food; Great service; A complete turnaround from our last visit. Hope they continue. read more

Extraordinary. I had rigatoni with vodka sauce and blackened shrimp. Wine was delicious. I had Chardonnay. Limoncello cake was something to write home about. Don't skip it. Service by Brook was really nice. I'll be back! read more

Three stars for the great service. It would have been lower if judging the food alone. Our server (and her assistant whom she was training) was superb. When I asked for a Sauvignon blanc from a recently opened bottle, she offered to open a new bottle. Both women were very personable. The wine pours are generous. Unfortunately my pasta was not what I would expect from an Italian restaurant. My sacchetti were all glued together. I actually had to cut them to separate them so I could eat them. This was unpleasant and really unacceptable. The flavor was not bad. My Caesar salad was bland. The place is very pretty but my friend and I agreed we probably won't return. The place was packed so obviously others don't share my opinion. read more

I ordered their 16‑inch Meatball Pizza and it was absolutely outstanding. This place instantly became my new go‑to for pizza. The pie was loaded with meatballs, topped with rich Grande mozzarella, and hit that perfect balance of sauce and seasoning that's so hard to find. I highly recommend Limoncello's, and I'm already excited to dine in soon to explore more of their menu. UPDATE: I've ordered three more times since this review -- never disappointed. As you can see The consistency and quality are spot‑on every single time. read more

Went there for dinner Wednesday evening. We had reservations and were taken to our table. It took about about 20 minutes for somebody to come over and take our orders. We gave the waitress our drink orders as well as appetizers and the dinner choices at the same time. she brought a bottle of Pellegrino but totally forgot our friend's Diet Coke. We had to ask somebody else for it. The service was extremely slow and my husband, son and a friend all ordered the chicken Parm and were very disappointed with the quality. It's unfortunate because in the past, the food was very good but the last two times we went it was very disappointing. read more

Ambiance: Classic, clean Seating: Sat at table. Many options, booths, tables, high tops and bar. Negative, tiny tables, no place to have all of your food. Service: Friendly, but unattentive. Had to wait a while until waitress asked for drinks, dirty wine glass with lipstick and water stains (did get compt), did not remove finished plates until I asked to please have them remove (especially with the tiny tables), waited for check as waitress found it more important to chat with coworkers. Crowd: Older. Drinks: Good mixed drinks and wine. Limited beer selections. Food: Average to good. Restrooms: Did not use. Parking: Plenty of parking in lot. Value: Ok, on high side. Experience: Food was ok. Gets busy, which is a good sign. Management needs to focus on better training for wait staff. read more

I looked online for a local Mother's Day brunch and Limoncello popped up. Based on the location and the online brunch menu, I made an 11:30 reservation for four people. When we were seated and handed the menu, it was not a brunch menu. We were given a special Mother's Day menu instead and were informed that they did not serve brunch. The lunch we had was pretty good, but we were all quite disappointed to have not been able to order any breakfast items. read more

Went here for a quick lunch. I had the INsalata Caesar and a 12" Frank's Favorite (tomato sauce, mozzarella, sweet sausage, grilled onions, and chopped longhots). The pizza was flavorful. The long hots were spicier than I expected and I had to take them off. My companion had the Seafood alla Vodka which she always gets. The place was jumping for lunch. Evidently, lots of people like having lunch here. Despite most of the tables being filled, the noise level was acceptable. Lauren made sure to take good care of us. She kept an eye on our table to make sure that all of needs were handled. We tried the Candy Lemon for dessert. It was a humongous candy coated cream filled dessert in the shape of a lemon. We found it to be overwhelming because it was such a rich dessert. read more

Tried to place a Mothers Day take out order early on Mothers Day. Website brags about special Mothers Day gift card discount but nothing else. Called, spoke with an employee who said "we're not taking any take out orders today" (many hours in advance of dinner). Asked why that information wasn't shared on their website? Responded "yeah" and that's it. Way to celebrate moms, Limoncello! Zero stars read more

Wow, what an amazing experience. Their Chester Springs location has always been my favorite spot to eat with my family. They are always so accommodating and welcoming. I can enjoy my entire family here. On top of having such a wonderful time here, their food is amazing. We recommend their sachetti (sorry if I misspelled) but it is amazing! It's a perfect mixture of sweet and savory. A+ read more

My tastebuds were dancing! I ordered the braised short rib and it was so tender it nearly fell apart with the touch of my fork. And the bed of gnocchi just added the best touch I finished with a cheesecake which was absolutely delicious! read more

Limoncello - Braised Short Rib and NY Style Cheesecake - Italian Near Me - Chester Springs, Pennsylvania

This is our favorite Italian restaurant in/around Chester County. I have gotten their pasta before including a branzino over angel hair, alla vodka, and other seafood variations. We always get greeted with helpful staff and are welcomed with complimentary fresh bread and bruschetta (my favorite). The seafood here is done well and probably what I enjoy the most. We love the clams oreganato for our appetizer. For desserts, I love the mousse; it is a bit decadent and hefty after a full meal. Our waiter recently was very attentive and was able to answer questions about the specials, and offered us more bread/bruschetta without us asking which I thought was very generous. Ambiance is nice, nothing out of the ordinary or special. Includes a bar and private dining rooms, and an outdoor terrace. Overall: Great food and service. It's always busy here, so during busier times of years (holidays, graduations), aim to make a reservation. read more

Food was great. Ambiance was just ok. But the service was terrible. They have too many people working there. They trip over each other. First they tried to sit us in an outside room with no AC. And we were told that there were fans out there. It was still hot. I had specifically made the reservation for indoor dining. We had to wait until a table opened up inside. The service left a lot to be desired. It was tough to get his attention throughout the dinner. Before he brought the check I told him I wanted to use my points for a partial payment and I wrote my # so he could apply it. Well he didn't. And when I asked him about it, he said it was too late to use the points. So I told him to add the new points to my account. That didn't happen either. This is not the first time that has happened with trying to use points and not receiving them. Why have a frequent diner program but not allow the customer to redeem it? Either these servers are not trained properly or they just lie that it wasn't working. read more

My food took 2 hours to come out and it is cold i think this place shouldn't open again

A double family order was delivered recently. The 4 course dinners were excellent. Same food quality as in restaurant. Portions were huge, just like in house. Food in containers you can just pop into oven to warm up. Plenty of fresh bread and also crostini. Proud to serve this to my friends. Have dined there over 40 times over the years. Well done! read more

The food was very good. Our waitress was good. The restaurant was so hot that I lost my appetite. It had to be 85 inside the restaurant. The AC must not have been working. No manager or owner came to the table to apologize or offer any compensation for the inconvenience. The person who brought our entrées, literally almost threw them on the table no comments about do you need anything or anything else. Management is poor. I expected much more for $150 meal for two people. read more

My son-in-law's family had their rehearsal dinner at Limoncello on 6/19/26 and had a wonderful time! The room where we had our event for almost 40 people was so beautiful and the staff even helped us decorate. The manager (Brian) was kind and accommodating! I want to give a special thank you to the waitresses (Jasmine and Kendell) who were amazing! The food was the best part of the night! My family could not stop talking about the appetizers and main menu, especially the rice balls! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a wonderful meal and an even better staff! Thank you to Limoncello for starting off the weekend in a great way! read more

Staff couldn't have been nicer and attentive. We ate outside which was nice. The food was tasty, but the complimentary bread and bruschetta was not great and unnecessary. The servings were frankly too big (not a typical compliment for this part of the country) but less portions, better quality is what I would strive for. read more

Nestled snugly into a corner of the Lionsville Shopping Center, Limoncello opened its doors a little over a decade ago - and has been packing them in ever since. The younger sibling of the restaurant of the same name in West Chester, both establishments are owned and operated by members of the Mingrino family. The cuisine remains solidly and unapologetically southern Italian, comfortingly familiar and very good, indeed... And from the moment the complimentary Bruschetta (pictured) hits the table, you know you're in good hands. The bread is properly crunchy, yielding a satisfying "bite" without causing any possible permanent damage to your outrageously expensive dental work; the olive oil, diced tomatoes, and onions are properly proportioned, which is to say not so generous as to dislodge from their perch and land unceremoniously in your lap; and the seasonings - especially the garlic - are just right. When contemplating your luncheon/dinner order, please keep one factor firmly in mind: Entrée portions here tend to run on the humongous side (and I do not exaggerate; please note the photograph below). So, unless you happen to have the peristaltic capacity of a starving yak, appetizers - which are also quite generous - will be entirely superfluous (and doggie bags something of a necessity). On the other hand, if you simply must have a starter - I would highly recommend - as my dining partner and I did recently - sharing a Caesar Salad. The Caesar is especially good here, and the chef will be happy to halve your order before it leaves the kitchen (pictured). Pastas run the gamut... from the sublime simplicity of Spaghetti & Meatballs adorned with South Philly Sunday sauce... to Lobster Ravioli... to the strikingly innovative Pear & Cheese Sacchetti, sweet pear & ricotta stuffed pasta purses with mascarpone cream & toasted pistachios. Likewise, entrées proper traverse a similarly intriguing culinary terrain... A marvelous rendition of one of my favorite dishes, Veal Saltimbocca... a delightfully delicate Branzino Scampi, companioned by shrimp and kissed by a white wine lemon butter sauce... and a restaurant favorite, Chicken Messina pictured). The parmesan-crusted chicken breast is stuffed with asparagus, Prosciutto di Parma, and fresh mozzarella, consummated with caprese cream sauce, mixed mushrooms & pancetta, and served up with a generous tangle of linguine. Not terribly photogenic, but the various elements work very well together - the chicken is perfectly moist, and that irresistible caprese cream will keep you coming back for more. Definitely worth the price of admission. On this most recent visit, however, my dining partner and I initially decided upon the very same entrée: Eggplant Parmigiana, which both of us had enjoyed on previous occasions. But once she spotted the fact that Eggplant Parm could also be ordered as a flatbread... that sealed the deal. For while the Eggplant Parmigiana, like the above-mentioned Chicken Messina, wasn't exactly a unique photo opportunity, the flatbread version was a totally different story. Beautifully adorned with splashes of tomato sauce, fried eggplant, mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano, basil, and rosettes of Grand Ricotta, the presentation was a delightful feast for the eye as well as the palate (pictured). Plenteous entrée portions notwithstanding, desserts are certainly worth saving room for. There are - but of course - many of the usual suspects: Chocolate Soufflé, Crème Brûlée, Cannoli, and Tiramisù. However, if you are something of a dessert fanatic, take my advice: Go for the gold. Which means, when they are available, Bananas Foster Cheesecake, creamy New York-style cheesecake topped with caramel drizzle; and, a personal fave, the Chocolate Peanut Butter Ganache (pictured), homemade velvet chocolate cake filled with creamy peanut butter mousse and a rich icing of semi-sweet chocolate & whipped cream. Despite my obsession with the chocolate peanut butter combo, however, the real star of the show here is undoubtedly the incredibly wicked Limoncello Cake (pictured). The rich, buttery cake is splashed with - you guessed it - limoncello liqueur, filled with chunks of white chocolate, consummated with a limoncello glaze, and topped with a dollop of vanilla ice cream... Don't even think about the calories! Oh, by the way... the the mixologist here is quite adept, as my dining partner's Cosmo and my Negroni were both prepared to perfection. The restaurant also boasts a select wine list with a number of interesting options available by the glass. read more

Fantastic Italian Food First i cannot believe these poor reviews! Our experience with about 40 guests last Saturday for a bridal shower was over the top! The tables the software and flowers and glassware were lovely. Lighting was awesome. Servers were great always bringing drinks and clearing tables of dishes! The food was outstanding! There was eggplant rolatini, pear ricotta sachets in Alfredo sauce, spinach lasagna , chicken fricase, salad rolls extradinarily delicious! Really out of this world was the pear ricotta entre. The wines were excellent. Took us an hour to get there but so worth it. Don't know Chester Springs area but we'll make the trip my husband and i to eat the again. One negative! Whoever made the shower cake for private event March28 get rid of them! No one liked the cake that looked so beautiful!!! It was awful. The cake the icing yuk. Get someone new to make your cakes. Was it a third party? read more

We have been here twice in the last 2 months and had a great experience both times. We went for NYE and had a wonderful time. Our table had the chicken parm with rosé sauce, pear and cheese sacchetti, and the limoncello cake. All were delicious. We will be back again! read more

My very generous in-laws treated my husband and I to our celebratory birthday dinners after the holidays. We went on a very cold night to Limoncello and were welcomed immediately. The restaurant was hopping busy and we were surprised since the winter cold did not deter diners from going there. Our service by Ray was impeccable as he reviewed the specials, offered playful banter throughout our decision process, and got our food to us in a timely manner. The insalata with the house dressing was delicious and I could tell that the olive oil was high quality. I ordered the Branzino scampi and was delighted by the cooking technique of the fish and the expert preparation of the capellini. The rest of our meals at the table were equally delicious. Communication and service was frequent despite the restaurant being so busy. We were impressed with everything. Thank you for warming up our weekend, and we will be back again soon. read more
