First table was wobbly to the point where our water would spill if you put an elbow on the table, we argued to change it,finally did. 1/2 hour into sitting at new table we were never asked what we wanted to drink. They finally asked and another 20 min to order. When appetizers came sauce for callamari was cold like from the fridge, at that point I had had it and I asked my husband to leave. They were not all that busy but service was terrible, they did ask if we wanted to "reheat" the appetizer which I refused. To add insult to injury the wine was watered down, and at the end we were charged for the wine and the clams my husband ate. Wrong thing to do as an owner, who we spoke to. Never again will we return after living in the area for 20+ years this is the worst. read more

Went there last night for a ghost hunting event (guess I will try almost anything) and it was an all inclusive 5 course dinner before the event. The dinner came out barely warm. Coffee after dinner was served but when I asked for cream for the coffee (had to ask twice in 10 minutes) the staff brought out two little creamers for 25 people. By this time the coffee was cold. Main entrée was good but not hot ... disappointing. I have frequented this restaurant before and this was not typical of my experience. This experience put Limoncello way down on my list of places I love to eat! read more

Mediocre Italian food served in a nice upscale setting. Almost everything I have tried here is overly salted. The service is generally adequate. The reason this place gets 1 star instead of the 2 that i should probably get based on food, decor, service etc is that on two separate occasions I have heard the owners/managers berating the wait staff in full view and earshot of my table. This behavior made me very uncomfortable and was very unprofessional. I will never eat there again despite the fact that it is literally 2 blocks from my house. If you want to run a fine dining restaurant, don't publicly scream at the help. It ruins the experience. read more

Went here last night for a combined five course meal followed by a ghost hunt/psychic interactive gathering. The only thing scary about our evening was how bad the staff handled the dinner service! We were met by the hostess and told to proceed to the bar area which as expected was very crowded. The room for dinner was not set up and the wait staff struggled to bring several tables through the confined space we were stuffed into while waiting for them to finish. They looked very confused and it seemed like too many chairs were crammed around the tables leaving very little room between unfamiliar participants. Finally after signing in we were seated and bread was sparsely served. Now the fun begins. As we had payed $150 per person for the event I was taken back when the food was served. We were asked to choose our selections weeks prior via email which we did, yet the hot and cold anti pasta was served family style, OK? One of the patrons questioned this and was reassured that only these dishes were being served and that the rest would be individually done. So we are all uncomfortably sharing with everyone and no serving silverware is being provided with each dish, and far too small portions are sporadically served. After several baskets of bread make there way one waiter asks does anyone want butter? Thought that was pretty standard, but since the plates with oil for dipping were provided and refilled I let this go for now. Salads are next, but the waiters have no idea what we ordered because no one has informed them everything's been previously selected. This continued through the main course and dessert. Six to eight waiters bringing plates out at various intervals calling out timidly what they were sent out, serving some to eat sooner than those who waited for there correct dish. My wife settled for a veal dish just so I could eat the chicken which both had selected. One guest went without hers until most of us had already finished and during that time had gone to the bar and was ignored for ten minutes while the bartender chatted with her friends. I joked about how when the coffee was served, first the saucers were brought to those who were asked if they wanted coffee. Then the cups were brought and then finally the coffee was poured, then after several minutes the cream and sugar was haphazardly distributed after the coffee was cool already and throughout the whole meal tableware was either briskly cleared or ignored completely. No spoons for the coffee, had to use the soup spoon which I'd used two hours before to serve the anti pasta. Now someone comes around with what appeared to be teapots and nervously surveyed the tables without ever offering anything and then disappeared out of the room. At this point it's midnight and dinner was advertised to have concluded at 11:00, what looks to be two of the non wait staff possibly the owners, in very nonbusiness like attire is chatting it up with the ghost hunters staff up in front of everyone as we are told finally we're to move to another room for the second half of our evening. We decide to use the bathroom and are met with the unpleasant sight and smell of sticky, urine covered floors, an overflowing trash can of paper towels, and an empty bottle of hand soap on a puddle strewn sink counter. Absolutely disgusting and a clear sign that no one had checked in to keep up with housekeeping. Here's where I'll stop and give you my take on it all. Clearly a lack of communication and organization on someone led to this disaster. I'm sympathetic that no one has trained these young waiters how to manage a group environment in this establishment. No leadership stood out because the one waiter who seemed to have some sense of the dissatisfaction of the guests and with whom I had asked to get my missing entree never returned with one. Did they not get a gratuity from the ticket purchase and because of it didn't give a damn? Not sure, but a later altercation which I won't go into detail about occurred and revealed that instead this sophomoric group needs to learn quite a bit about customer service and etiquette in a professional environment, one you won't find dining here along with the ghosts. Phantastic job guys on a truly horrific experience. I will never return to this scary place! read more

Ahhh... I hate writing a non favorable review but this place is less then OK. Food was not good. Staff was just OK. I'll try it again to make sure it was not an off night. read more

The place seems to have lost its charm recently. The fried calamari appetizer tasted like it was out of a box. The linguini with white clam sauce had a sauce like an Alfredo. The room was too dark and I was sitting under the only speaker that I had to ask the waiter a number of times to lower. Thank God the tartufo is so good otherwise the whole meal would have been for nought. read more

After waiting over 45 min for my meal, my salmon was raw in middle. Did not want to rectify it other than offering me dessert. Will never go back. read more

Myself and my grandmother were here end of August, we sat down. The restaurant was busy for lunch and also very understaffed. I had a salad for $17 including grilled chicken... which was way overpriced for the portion i received. This establishment used to be wonderful I'm not sure what happened. read more

Food is amazing, service is great, if you want to have a great family time out to eat I recommend limoncellos, it's the perfect mixture of waiting for your food and drinks with a nice time to relax and talk with friends , the staff is very knowledgeable and the kitchen puts out great food, not much more to ask for ! read more

It was Friday, 5/9. One of the worst nights at a restaurant. While the food is good, trying to get it is another story. The wait staff was terrible. Our party of 6 got our first round of drinks but after that, we waited at least another 1/2 hour before they told us the specials and then another 1/2 hour for them to take the order. We could not get water refilled or a second round of drinks. Never received the salad that was suppose to come with the entree. Not worth going back. read more

Great family restaurant. The atmosphere lends itself to casual conversation, drinks and great food.

If I could give this place zero stars I would! My husband and I attended an event and dinner at this restaurant this weekend and the staff were extremely unprofessional and disrespectful! We started to get an inkling of what the evening had to offer when we realized that the restaurant staff was not ready for our large group's arrival upon check-in at 9:00pm, leaving everyone to linger in a very tight bar space while the room was being prepared. Over the next couple of hours, the situation worsened with wait staff that were seriously unorganized and unprofessional. I am not sure why we gave our meal selections in advance if the staff thought it was appropriate to walk around the room shouting the name of the plate they had in hand hoping somebody would claim it. We had diners that were still waiting for their meals while desert was being served. Silverware was not replaced during courses and later on in the evening we had waiters that were practically throwing utensils at us and telling us to "pass it down." At one point my husband had requested his meal that was not originally brought out and we got so tired of waiting we ended up taking whatever one of the waiters had in hand just so we could eat. We also sat in a corner of the room which was frequently ignored by the waiters and found ourselves having to request items that were automatically being brought to the other diners in the rest of the room (what amazed us is how the waiters would see us and keep walking past with the items we would end up having to request such as bread, soda, appetizers, etc.) An hour after bread was served one of the waiters had remembered to ask if anybody wanted butter instead of dipping oil. Coffee was served without creamer or sugars (which arrived about 10 minutes later). At first these events amused us, but quickly started to become more infuriating as the evening went on. At this point dinner concluded at midnight, one hour past the scheduled time of 11:00 P.M. which further caused us to lose any hopes of enjoying the remaining time for our event. We chose to use the restrooms quickly after dining and found them to be disgusting, it was obvious no staff had serviced them the entire night. Overflowing trash cans, empty hand soap bottles on sink, a very sticky floor surface and an overwhelming smell of urine, all highly unsanitary! Things became much worse after we began to proceed with breaking into our event groups. Upon returning to the main foyer after the first break-away session, we proceeded to witness the young waiters grouped together behind the host station and the manager talking nose-to-nose with certain staff in front of the guests. Next, it was brought to our attention that one of the staff members had made an off-hand remark to a patron within our group and the same manager proceeded to pull one of the event coordinators away from our group for a length of time, thus, preventing us from proceeding with our evening. We became infuriated knowing that the time that we had paid for was being compromised by him doing this and I decided to get the coordinator's attention back to our group so we could move on. At that point we were quite upset and were then treated with the smug attitude by the manager who proceeded to say in front of us about how he doesn't care how much money we spent on the event since "he only gets $45 per plate from this event anyway." What a way to show respect for your guests. The lack of respect that was shown to our group was astounding. Not only was our evening ruined by terrible service and making us lose part of the experience that we paid for, but we were highly insulted in the process. The management and staff of this establishment need a hard lesson on what customer service and appreciation entails. At one point I was waiting for Gordon Ramsey to come out from a corner and tell us we were on candid camera. This restaurant is a joke. Avoid it at all costs! read more

This place was fantastic! The waiter was friendly, funny and attentive! Food was so good that i ate the entire large portion! Would definitely go back! read more

The service is definitely Limoncello's strong point. From the second we walked in to the end of the meal, everyone from the hosts to our server to the busboys were all very attentive. The atmosphere was very inviting; the restaurant is beautiful and there was a fireplace roaring in one room and live piano music in the other. We ordered calamari, lobster ravioli, and chicken parmesan which were all good but nothing out of the ordinary. My ravioli were delicious but didn't taste like they had much lobster in them. I think the olive oil they served to dip bread in was the best part of the meal. I'm not sure what they mixed with it to make it so good, but it was delicious! read more

What an improvement. What was until a few months ago a middling Italian-American joint in a pretty space, could and should be on the verge of becoming a powerhouse in the Hudson Valley restaurant scene. The apparent addition of a new chef has completely turned this place around. When I moved to beautiful Orange County, I couldn't ever imagine finding stuffed quail on special at a local restaurant, let alone stuffed quail executed as brilliantly as that which I had at Limoncello. For starters I had shrimp in anchovy butter sauce, also a special, which frankly scared me at first, but turned out to be wonderful. I honestly can't comment on the menu, but the chef's specials are worthy of Manhattan. read more

I liked the restaurant, the service, the food besides the boneless skinless chicken. When I am out I like it to be served sliced just right on the bone. The coconut sorbet was wonderful. read more

Relaxed elegance. Comfort and class. Just fine dining. The place is really, really nice. The service is top notch. Very attentive staff. The food is expertly prepared, attractive and delicious. Ingredients are first rate. I have only eaten here twice. First time in the larger dining room and second in the more intimate space. Both experiences were memorable. This is a first rate dining experience but surprisingly affordable. I can talk about the food but you will not be disappointed by any of their dishes. Just thinking about this place makes me hungry. read more

Beautiful decor very romantic been their several times. Luv bread dipping oil. Went 2/13/15' restaurant usually very good was disappointing, cold inside especially bathrooms. Had veal pappardelle, hardly any veal and swimming in sauce. My husband ordered filet mignonette special and it was raw. Excellent wine selection. Hope they make improvements. Intend to try again. read more

What an experience! I went during the Great American Weekend with my boyfriend and sister. We read the menu posted outside and liked what we saw. We are seated at a table with no place settings, but I thought no big deal they'll probably bring it later. We looked at the menu and it was completely different from the one posted outside. Outside it stated shrimp scampi for $18. The menu inside had no such dish listed. I order it anyway plus appetizers and the waiter suggested linguine instead of the standard angel hair. I agreed. He said my dish came with a salad. Very well. He brought our calamari and still no silverware. Ok, maybe they bring it out with our salads. Every restaurant has their own way of doing things. About half an hour later no salads and no silverware. They brought our entrees and I asked who ever served us if our salads come after the entree?? He sheepishly shrugged and asks "You don't still want it do you?" Well I guess not since our food is here but thanks for the professionalism! And he was wearing a shirt and tie so I was very taken a back by his unapologetic tone. So we wait with our entrees with our server or any server nowhere in sight so my sister grabs silverware from the adjoining table. Another couple is seated in our section and they are read off the specials of the day which made me realize our server never mentioned the specials to us! I would appreciate the same options as everyone else, I think that's fair. Well, the bill came and my shrimp scampi was billed for $26 and change. From $18 to $26?!? Is the linguine made of endangered wheat?? That was the last straw. Never again! read more

I attended my daughter in laws baby shower that was held at Limoncello. The room was very nice. The food was fantastic as was the service. Carly is the person to see if you are planning a party. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy. Thank You Carly read more

great food but expensive nice place tho i like the staff and ambience . it has some fun dishes

When I tried to pay my bill using a $100 gift card issued by Limoncello, the waiter first told me the card had a zero balance. After I showed him a receipt for the card, the waiter said it had $78. I complained to the owner who told me that 5% of the time gift cards do not work correctly. I paid the extra $22 which was wrong and they should not sell gift cards if they can not account for them correctly. Will not go back and I will dispute the $22 charge on my credit card.. read more

Very quiet, atmosphere is romantic, but the wait time after you order in an entree is too long, last time we went which was a month ago, we all ordered Lobster Raviolis, no joke, after 5 minutes of being on the plate, the sauce looked frozen! Very disappointed, as I have been here before, and the food was actually good...not returning! read more

Waited over 25 minutes on a Sunday afternoon for a 3pm reservation, only to be thrown into a room with a large birthday party going on without any further compensation. Terrible service. Don't waste your time or your money. read more

I always loved this restaurant until this Wed. It was our 53 anniversary and we celebrated with 2 of our friends. The special was short ribs and my husband and our friend ordered them. I know what short ribs are and these were not short ribs. The bone was about 8-10 inches long and the meat was all fat. They poured gravy over it. Neither of them liked it at all. I ordered the pear salad and the arugula was soggy. I had a half of a small potato cut in for tiny pieces. We went there for our 50th Anniversary and had our children with us and we were a party of 19. Everything was so good. Went there for my 70th birthday and everything again was delicious. Went with senior group from Wallkill Senior Group and again everything was very good. Went to a funeral reception for Mr. Firehock and everything was great. I don't know what happened last night but it was awful. The waiter was nice and I asked what kind of bone that was and he wouldn't answer. It was like something I never saw and definitely not a short rib. read more

This place was amazing! My boy friend and I went and the service was fantastic, even waiters that walked by made sure we were taken care of! This place was a authentic italian place!

Hello everyone.. I feel personally offended by some of the negative things I have read by guests that have recently visited my all time favorite restaurant! I am so disheartened by the vicious and malcontent comments written by some of my fellow patrons, that they have forced my hand and given me no choice but to respond and write a rebuttal on behalf of a place that I care so much for! My family has always chose this restaurant to celebrate all of our special occasions! Wedding rehearsals, Baptisms, baby showers and even a 50th birthday party! Every time the service has been nothing short of exceptional, super attentive and very respectful. The food always is fresh, consistent, and overall outstanding! I work in the city and I go out to eat with my better half, friends and family quite often. I've been to some of the best restaurants in Manhattin and across the country and I would put Limoncellos in Goshen right at the top of that list, it's like having big city dinning right in your neighborhood. It's truly awesome! I recently participated in the Ghost Hunters event held at Limoncellos with 2 friends and we had a wonderful time. The waitstaff was accommodating and were complete professionals. The ghost hunters and other guests were showering them with complements throughout the evening, the courses were served promptly and the food like always excellent! The wait staff and the kitchen were under the gun the entire night offering a five course meal and 9 different dinner options(which is unheard of) and they exceeded my expectations! The demands from the ghost hunters seemed to me unrealistic, putting a lot of pressure on the staff but like usual Limoncellos thrived and succeeded when presented with what seemed to me an impossible task! 60 people, 5 courses, 2 hours! Let's not forget while this was happening the staff were also setting up a second room for us to have for the next 4 hours for the ghost hunters and guest to converse. The restaurant was built in the late 1700's, with a great history and we were given by management, access to the whole restaurant and basement to explore, we kept the staff there till 3am.... WOW... GREAT JOB guys! The staff was phenomenal, they are all like culinary wizards which is why I cannot understand why some people made the comments they made, it's spiteful and vindictive, those guests should be ashamed of themselves. It sucks that ungrateful and miserable people's voices are always heard the loudest, they always want something for nothing and it's pretty sad! Limoncellos you guys are incredible and keep up the great work! I highly recommend this place you won't be disappointed!!! read more

I write this review as it relates to a beer pairing dinner, or rather dinners, as I have been to 3 such events at Limoncello. The most recent of these was October 14th, 2016. It was an Austrian/German themed pairing featuring the beers of Von Trapp Brewing out of Stowe Vermont. As stated, this was my third Beer Pairing dinner, and as with the others it was a smash hit. I'm not going to comment on the beers, though they were all enjoyable. The star here was the food and the staff. They served a 5 course meal and every course was fantastic. I cannot speak highly enough about the food, and I'm not really an fan German cuisine. The smoked pork loin was as good as pork gets, imo. And the staff was attentive, courteous, and funny. Something to be said for personality. My girlfriend and I had been to the previous dinners, and liked it so much we brought another couple. We all left raving about the event. Great job by all involved. read more

Christmas Eve dinner. We had reservations for 7:45, but when we got there they put our name on a list of walk-ins, despite our call out. After pointing out again that we shouldn't have to wait with the walk-ins, we were finally seated. Our waiter asked us what we wanted to drink...without ever giving us a drink menu. We ordered our drinks than waited 20 minutes before having to ask for a menu. Our waiter came and took our order for our appetizer...which we received 40 min later. At that time they took our food order. Then we did not see anyone again. Two bottles of wine, two appetizers and two hours later, we finally left. While our drinks an appetizers were on the house, it was disappointing that no one checked in with us and most of the work had to be done our end. It was a very unfortunate end to our Christmas Eve and not one apology was offered. It's 10pm and we still haven't eaten. Awful. I rarely say this, but if given the opportunity, I would most definitely not recommend this place to a friend. read more

Terrible food! Born and raised an Italian-American, I know what good Italian food is and it's NOT Limoncello's! I have been to this restaurant in Goshen a few times (over the past two years) for two different bridal showers and the chicken and pasta (their Limoncello Chicken and Penne a la Vodka) was okay...BUT when I recently took my mom their with my family for Mother's Day the food was disgusting! For instance the Penne a la Vodka I usually order (which typically tastes okay) was gross! The place had cobwebs and the pasta was dry. My mom said her chicken tasted like rubber. I really felt like my pasta dish was leftovers from the previous night. We think the chicken was frozen food heated up. I would not suggest eating or wasting your money here! To top it off there was a "special menu" for Mother's Day and they jacked up the price of the Penne a la Vodka...instead of the dish being $13.00 (which it is listed as) on their regular menu it was $16.75. I wish we went to Catherine's in Goshen instead. read more

Worst experience ever!!! Two friends and I went there for lunch and the service was horrible. We were seated at a table with no place settings and it took 15 minutes to get our drinks. The menu posted outside has prices that doesn't match the prices in their menu. Also, the dishes listed on the posted menu are not in the menu they provide you. Our order was simple, an appetizer and 3 entrees. Our entrees came with salads but we were served the entrees before the salad which took 40 minutes to make it to the table. To top it off the server never got us place settings so I had to get up and take them from another table. Did this supposed "fine dining" restaurant expect us to eat with our hands??!! The server never checked on us until the very end. He passed us several times but ignored us. I couldn't even get a refill on water! I will never go back and I recommend not going there unless you want to be treated so disrespectfully. read more

went there for lunch and had the seafood over salad it was great the dipping sauce was also great would definitely come back
