Raisa S.

Limoncello arrives burdened by its own mythology. On social media, it is framed as a transportive experience--sun-washed Amalfi charm, polished plates, and a kind of effortless Italian sophistication that feels curated for the camera. In person, the illusion thins quickly. A reservation had been secured for an indoor table, yet the initial interaction was marked by a persistent attempt to redirect us outside. The suggestion, repeated with quiet insistence, set an early tone: service that felt less like guidance and more like gentle negotiation. We obliged briefly, until rain forced the obvious correction. Even then, the transition indoors felt less than seamless, as though accommodating a basic request required recalibration. Inside, the dining room resists the fantasy it advertises. Where one expects cohesion--light, texture, a sense of place--there is instead a disjointed atmosphere. The décor leans rustic, but without the intimacy or intentionality that makes rusticity appealing. More striking, however, was an intrusive, chemical-leaning odor--sharp enough to register immediately, ambiguous enough to unsettle. Whether the result of cleaning agents or something less benign, it lingered in a way no restaurant can afford. The evening took a more concerning turn at a neighboring table, where multiple diners sent back a lobster dish, citing an unmistakably off smell. A replacement was issued, only to be met with the same complaint. The table, visibly unsettled, opted to abandon the dish altogether. It is difficult to overstate how much an incident like this reverberates across a room; appetite, once compromised, rarely recovers.Against that backdrop, the meal unfolded with diminishing optimism. The pear salad arrived composed but underdeveloped--its sweetness untempered, its balance unresolved. It gestured toward refinement without achieving it. The margherita pizza, often a reliable barometer of a kitchen's discipline, fell short: a slack crust, muted tomato, and mozzarella that failed to assert freshness or depth. The fettuccine with mushrooms leaned heavily on richness without complexity, the sauce coating rather than integrating, the mushrooms contributing little beyond texture. There is, at Limoncello, an evident ambition--to align itself with a certain tier of dining, to meet the expectations of a clientele drawn as much by reputation as by cuisine. But ambition, here, outpaces execution. The disconnect between image and experience is not subtle; it defines the visit. Perhaps this was an off night. Restaurants, like all institutions, have them. But consistency is the currency of credibility, and on this occasion, Limoncello spent freely without replenishment. For a place so buoyed by curated perception, the reality feels notably, and unfortunately, less convincing.

This place looked so cute with the lemon theme, I love lemon theme so had to check it out! It has indoor/outdoor, indoor was super cute but we decided to sit outdoor. The staff is super friendly and kind. When I received my pasta fettuccine I was a little disappointed at appearance, it didn't look that appealing but it actually was super tasty!!! I was impressed. My husband got the chicken parm and the spaghetti packed good flavor! The portion sizes were good.

Here's the deal: being greeted at the door like it's your family's home is amazing! The service was excellent! The buratta & prosciutto appetizer was a perfect start. The pasta dishes were outstanding! A wonderful meal at Limoncello.

Excellent food and service! They made my daughter's birthday an amazing one! Thank you!!!

Gross! I only ate a bite as someone poured, from what it seems, an entire truffle oil bottle on it!
Sophia M.

Do not go there! One of the worst meals I've ever had. The pepperoni pizza and chicken fettuccine with truffle sauce were inedible. I took one bite of the pasta and felt sick afterward. The truffle sauce tasted overwhelmingly artificial, as if it had been poured straight from a bottle. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I genuinely cannot recommend this place.

Found the cutest Italian place on Miami Beach this past week, and also the best meal of the week! Right on Washington Avenue, you get the sense of Italy when sitting on the sidewalk for dinner and be surrounded by cute lemon decor. Even though it was a tad warm this night, the fan provided plenty of air to allow us to enjoy ourselves. We started out with some delicious Limoncello Drop martinis. The perfect sweetness with a garnish was a great round with our appetizers of burrata and calamari. The burrata was cold and creamy and paired well with the prosciutto. The calamari was hot and crispy. For mains, my friends had wine while I went for the Limoncello Mojito, I mean I was in Miami only seemed right! Our pasta dishes and seafood dish were served with a great portion and were hot. I loved how mine was served in a pan! Servers and hostess were friendly and drinks and food served quickly. My only complaint would be is on my reservation I asked for a table inside but we were seated outside. Not sure the miscommunication there but it ended up being ok. Highly recommend this cute gem for a nice Miami Beach meal.

Limoncello Drop

This place is so cute! They do offer amble inside seating as well as outdoor seating. The free bread? Out of this world. The pasta plates? Honestly, some of the best we've had--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The drinks hit the spot and paired beautifully with the meal. On top of all that, the staff was friendly, upbeat, and genuinely fun to interact with. Their energy made our dining experience even better. Of all the places we visited during our trip, Limoncello easily earned a spot in our top 3. We'll be thinking about those pasta plates for a long time.

Great Italian spot! The pastas were delicious. The seafood pasta was very good and so was the cacio e pepe with the steak dish! They have indoor and outdoor seating available; service was good. They have nice wines to choose from and good menu with pizza and such. I would come back again and order the same thing from how delicious it was. If you plan to sit outside, make sure it's closer to evening time, it can get hot!

Frittura Gamberi & Calamari

Stopped around 12:30 on a Friday. Place was empty but staff is friendly. Good food, nothing extraordinary. Fresh taste and clean environment.

I was really looking forward to try Limoncello, but was so disappointed when the food did not match the high ratings. All the dishes were mediocre. Be careful with the scan payment, there is an extra charge. The decor is very cute and cozy, the service is friendly.

10 pm. People vote with their feet.

This is a relatively premier Italian restaurant with a brilliant vibe and jam packed into the late night. This is a place to go when you're tired of spring-breaky sorority food on plastic menus. The tattooed sprightly waiter from Naples was authentic good, though couldn't talk me into the $150 bottle of red. The staff here were terribly busy but total pros and made sure everyone everywhere, sitting or waiting, was getting what they needed. It's great fun with a lemon scent and a relief to be not on main drag.

Margarita pizza
Vy B.

Just stopped here cause the decor was so cute and full of lemons, who wouldn't be enticed? Our pastas were perfectly cooked, el dente, flavor well balanced and not heavy like most Italian restaurants. The wood over fired pizza was delicious with thin crust and fresh tasting ingredients. Calamari was crunchy outside, soft inside, and light despite being fried. Service was quick and friendly, probably helped that we were one of 3 other party on prime week day lunch hours. Would definitely come back again if I'm in the area!

Staying in Miami Beach for a long weekend and love Limoncello the drink so that factored into our decision to have dinner here. Starting out, Salvatore our waiter, was AMAZING (in capital letters for a reason). We started with limoncello shots and some sautéed mussels. Had cocktails and the four of us had, spaghetti alle vongole, rigatoni carbonara, lobster ravioli and cacio e pepe. Each was amazing and so tasty. For dessert we had the cannoli and their special lemon and almond cake. Personally I preferred the lemon cake but I love all things lemon. We enjoyed the experience so much that we went back for lunch the next day for more limoncello and a Margherita pizza. Definitely recommend.

Sergio F & Italian food...goes without saying!…read more I came by with a group of friends Saturday night for sustenance after weekend activities in downtown and the beach. La Leggenda had been in my to try list, and finally had a chance to do so this weekend. We liked the fact that our waiter regularly checked on us, even resolving an issue with one of the glasses as soon as we pointed it out. Oh and having a corner table by the window to enjoy the Española Way street scene to perfection! The three of us decided to share two pizzas: their Margherita STG and the "Regina". Both had a perfectly thin and airy crust. The fresh basil and melted mozzarella do indeed make their margherita pizza truly award winning. The Regina Pizza was topped with a nice helping of perfectly salty prosciutto as well as baby tomatoes and greens. We also asked for extra sauce and chili oil which made the pie even better! Of course, there was dessert! With its crumbly graham cracker crust, creamy ricotta cheese and pear pieces this dessert made for a sweet ending and was enough to be shared between the three of us.

So my very high level of anticipation may certainly be partially to blame for my average-ish experience. I was pleasantly surprised to get a table with no wait at ~6:30 on a Wednesday evening. Staff were attentive and friendly. Prices were high, as expected, but at least the pizzas are of reasonable size. The $32 pasta portion probably could've been a bit more generous. But anyway, on to why we're all here - The Pizza: The crust had a great crunch but I felt lacked nuance beyond that, no chew and a touch on the dry side. Cheese and sauce were fine but also unremarkable. The heaps of basil provided some bright freshness that was definitely appreciated. I feel even more compelled now to try the NYC location for comparison! This wasn't a bad pizza by any stretch but not something I would ever pick over my favorite NYC standouts.

THE BEST DATE-NIGHT ROMANTIC SPOT IN MIAMI…read more Pane y Vino is one of those rare restaurants that gets everything right: charming, delicious, romantic, and completely unique. The décor has so much personality, and the entire experience feels wonderfully old-school--from the attentive service to the little details that make you feel genuinely taken care of. The owner is lively, charismatic, and absolutely charming, faithfully tending to her guests and making the whole room feel warm and personal. And then there's the food. The carpaccio was exceptional: paper-thin slices of fresh beef topped with delicately sliced mushrooms and a unique lemon crème that made the whole dish sing. The mussels were enormous, served in a spicy tomato broth so delicious you'll want to finish it with a spoon. Just when you think it can't get any better, dessert arrives. Homemade, gourmet, and prepared right at your table--and somehow it doesn't feel gimmicky at all. It's genuinely spectacular. The surprise hint of Nutella hidden beneath the delicate finger cookies takes it completely over the top. And if you love eggplant parmigiana, theirs is top of the line. The portions are hearty, the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality and experience, and the atmosphere is made for a romantic night out. One warning: make your reservation in advance. Pane y Vino gets packed, and once you experience it, you'll understand why.

The outside seats were full, but inside there were still tables available so we opted to sit inside. Nice part of being inside, is that you can watch the kitchen at work.

The plain pizza was the best one out of the two I ordered. The bad: the four cheese needs gorgonzola, otherwise it's bland and tasteless like this one was. The fries were raw, had to stick them in the oven for 20+ minutes which is ridiculous. How do they not see that the fries are extremely undercooked?! The pizza was also undercooked, the crust was the only thing that was cooked properly, had to throw the pizza in the oven for 15 minutes. May give them another try but with so many genuine 5-star pizza options I don't think I will.
