We had a really wonderful experience dining here. The food was delicious, well-prepared, and came out just right. Federico provided excellent service--he was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. His hospitality made the evening feel extra special. Overall, we had a great time and left feeling very satisfied. read more

The place is kitschy plastic lemons everywhere, but with a sort of trellis and lemony print curtains you could say it's mildly charming. There's a wood burning oven and pizzas coming out looked good. The linguine frutti de mare was cooked nicely, the lobster ravioli was tasty and unlike other reviews lobster was tasted and plentiful. Tiramisu was anything but, pass. Our waiter was gregarious but inattentive. Specifically told to hold all pepper on a dish, or else make a substitute, dinner was brought out with pepper as usual - our party could not safely eat it. A quick substitute was rendered, after which service became nonexistent. And, it's Miami, so the waiter got 20% on the entire tab including liquor, which i feel was bullshit. So, if ur there, and you don't mind a heavy tab, It's ok, but not a destination ever. read more

The food is excellent! The service was friendly and quick! The atmosphere is cute! This is the best restaurant we ate at in Miami. The pizza margarita my partner had was tasty as was my cacio e Pepe. The seasoning on the eggplant Parmesan appetizer and the Caesar salad we had before dinner was wonderful. The wine was tasty as was the lemoncello we had as an apartif at the end of the meal. Definitely worth a visit! Your taste buds will thank you!! read more

I wasn't expecting such a great meal here. It feels like an authentic Italian place. I got a mushroom pasta which was delectable. I finished it even though I had gotten food. The waiters are friendly and the area is nice. We happened to stay at the hotel it was in so there's a small discount with that. It was very convenient for us. read more

What a wonderful restaurant- they accept card and have great prices with some of the best food I've tried in the south. Our waiter Artem was amazing. This is a must try if you are in the south of Portugal. read more

This is a wonderful little gem. This is like going to your italian family's house for dinner. All the staff is italian and so kind and generous. The food can't beat it. The vibe so welcoming. I can say the same thing like a 100 different ways. I had the carpaccio and my friend had the bolognese, both were delicious and I wish I lived in Miami so I could come here more. Will definitely be back next time I am in Miami. read more

Excelente service, amazing food, and a cute ambiance little Italian gem in South Beach. This place surprised me in a great way, my daughter has wanted to try this restaurant for a long time and we just had lunch, and perfect, our server Ryan was the best server I have known long time, charismatic and attentive. We have had a great time here since we entered the first door, the place has a vibe and is super pretty and the food is the most delicious, calamari perfect, carpaccio delicious and fresh, and the focaccia just to eat 10 baskets. My main course was the special ribeye with cacio e Pepe and was good. Everything in this place is 100% worth it read more

When you enter Limencello, everything is decorated to the T. There are beautiful yellow lemons everywhere, including the waitstaff's shirt! The waitstaff was so friendly and welcoming, it felt just like home. They start you off with some delicious pieces of bread with olive oil and cracked black pepper. We shared the walnut, green apple, and gorgonzola salad as well as the Bolognese and rigatoni carbonara. Everything was pretty tasty. Definitely not the best Italian food i've ever had, but it wasnt bad. We also had iced lattes and they were yummy. We wanted to order the pizza, but they had run out of the materials to make a pizza. Would I come back? probably not. Did i have an absolutely wonderful afternoon? definitely yes! read more

Food was okay but pricing off. $18 for plain spaghetti for one of the kids. Portion was even small. Unbelievable. Even for Miami.

Sorry--I don't get the high reviews for this place. It is located in a boutique hotel, and we sat inside on a rainy night. There was weirdly no ceiling panels so it felt like we were in some industrial warehouse. The tablescapes were fine, albeit a little kitschy with fake lemons and plants. The food was also fine, but nothing to write home about. However, what turned us off most was the service. It felt pushy and very upsell-focused, like we were in a tourist trap straight from Italy. If a customer asks your opinion between two $50-60 bottles of wine, don't say "neither" and try to upsell them on the most expensive bottle on the menu. read more

I can't say enough about this incredible Italian restaurant! From the moment we sat an at out door table on the sidewalk, the warm and inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home. What truly amazed me was their gluten-free pasta Alfredo--so often those are an afterthought, but here, they shine. I ordered gluten-free pasta, and honestly, it was the best pasta I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, with that authentic homemade taste. You'd never know it was gluten-free--it was that good! Every bite was full of flavor, and the sauce was rich, balanced, and made with the freshest ingredients. It's rare to find a place that can deliver such high-quality gluten-free dishes without compromising taste or texture, but they exceeded every expectation. Friendly service, wonderful ambiance, and food that leaves you dreaming about your next visit. Highly recommend to anyone--gluten-free or not--because this is Italian done right! read more

I really wanted to Love this restaurant, but I really don't understand what is all the hype about, I have tried lots of Italian restaurants and this one is by far not the best.. Food is 3 out of 10 Vibe 6-10 Service 8 -10 Very, very overpriced.... Would not go back:( read more

What a quant little spot. We were helped by Guido. Extremely passionate about the dishes and gave great recommendations. We had the rib eye with shaved parmigiana and balsamic vinegar, and the Cacio de Pepe . Incredible! Ask for Guido for the best experience while you're here! read more

We ran into a tourist trap without realizing. First of all, I appreciate everyone in the service industry who's working on Christmas for the travelers who are looking for a safe haven on the day for dinner. However, this doesn't justify the bad service, mid food and shifty establishment. The prices were significantly higher than the menu on their website. They had a limited menu because of Christmas but there was no mention of it on their social media. The service was bad, the waiter kept pushing for the most expensive bottles of wine in the menu aggressively. They forgot to bring the complimentary focaccia and to one more table next to us. The food was OK, not worth the price or the service. read more

Food was amazing, very cozy spot and friendly staff, Many was phenomenal. I'll be back for sure

Wow, had a really great experience... after judging a book by its cover. Outdoor seating was interesting. Right on the street. Was very loud. People checking in and out of the boutique hotel above Limoncello. Tons of foot traffic through the eating area... we spent more time talking about leaving then staying. Stayed because the food reviews were so good. I trusted my Olympic level Yelping skills, and stayed the course. Had the arugula salad, which was simple yet delicious. We split the bolognese and the chicken parm. Both were excellent with homemade pasta. Side of pasta with red sauce was very simple, garlic forward and very enjoyable. Service was very good. Overall really enjoyed it. Lesson learned (again): don't judge a book by its cover! read more

The food here was excellent! Everything was a hit especially the eggplant parmigiana and the drinks were great as well. What was the best was the service, Guido really took care of us and made sure everything was on point and special. The restaurant was a little hot and the menu was a little on the pricey side but that is expected for Miami Beach. read more

Most disappointing and also the most expensive meal of our vacation. Small portion of branzino was cooked ok, but was $45 compared to a lovely restaurant we went to on Ocean that charged $39 for a whole fish. Husband got the ribeye special priced at $75 that was not seared well, so the fatty cut they gave him was not rendered properly. They covered it in sauce and condiments to hide the poor quality. Also, they do not make their own limoncello and they do not make most of the pastas inhouse. There are plenty of better places to go in Miami. However, if you are ever in Boston and can go to the Limoncello there, you should. read more

This is such a cute, authentic spot! I came with my friend who just moved back from Italy, so while the area could hint at it being a tourist trap, it's def not. Everything was delicious and she said since she'd been back, it was the most authentic Aperol Spritz she had found! The service was fantastic and the atmosphere is super casual but can still be somewhere to dress up for. Definitely not rigid in terms of that and expectations. The space is very small and there's a good amount of rowdy foot traffic outside between just being on Washington and people going in to the boutique hotel it is attached to, but for the most part it was not disruptive. We got the meatballs, the rigatoni carbonara, burrata app and added prosciutto, the octopus and the burrata pizza and all were delicious. Will definitely be back! read more

Coming from a Chef who has cooked all over the world and for high profile clients -- I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. From the service, attention to detail, kind servers, and best of all the food. Amazing! I highly recommend for appetizers, the burrata with tomato and the calamari - excellent! For mains, the lobster spaghetti, lobster ravioli and the cacio e Pepe with truffle all were outstanding. I will definitely return! read more

Limoncello is that laid-back, no-drama Italian spot Miami Beach actually needed. Cool vibe, friendly staff, and the pastas are solid -- fresh, flavorful, and served fast. No pretense, just good food. Portions are generous, and for South Beach? The prices are surprisingly fair. Great place to grab dinner without having to dress up or drop $200. It's not trying to be fancy -- it's just good, and it works. read more

I started with a Caesar salad. I didn't have much of an appetite but this was one of the BEST Caesar salads I've EVER had. Their cacio e pepe was AMAZING! I couldn't eat much of it and took it back to my hotel. I found out the next day that I had the flu (which was why I didn't have much appetite). Since my getting sick ruined the experience, I'm considering flying back to Miami just to come here and try my hand at the cacio e pepe and Caesar salad again I sat at one of the tables outside. It was a beautiful, warm evening and I enjoyed people watching. Vincenzo (my server) was a delight and super helpful during my dining experience. I highly recommend a visit here. read more

You can't argue that Limoncello is brimming with coziness and charm. Nor can you argue that the food is very good, though a bit expensive (par for the course in Miami Beach, I suppose). Where it loses me is in service. My waiter was perhaps the worst I have ever experienced, and I've had my fair share of waiters. I would mention his name, except he never introduced himself. I'm not sure what the specials were, either, since he never told me. I had to listen to one of the other waiters, who was clearly delighting his clients with conversation, share the specials and go through the menu literally item-by-item. Interestingly, my waiter seemed a little friendlier with his other tables. Maybe he just didn't like my face. The cherry on the cake was the automatic 20% gratuity that was included in the bill. read more

Homey feel, well decorated and fantastic service.   Walking into Limoncello you can see how much thought was put into the decor. The restaurant is filled with lemon-themed/colored items from the tablecloths to the fake lemons hanging off the walls and ceiling.   Not only was the decor nice but so was the food. Once seated we were served with warm and fresh bread. For my meal, I ordered the "FETTUCCINE BOLOGNESE". The noodles were wide and I was told they were made fresh. I definitely enjoyed my meal.   But, the most impressive thing about Limoncello was the service. The staff was very kind and sincere. The owner was even walking around taking orders and serving people their food. You could see that they all cared about the customers and the food.   If you're looking for a homey Italian meal that, is different from the fast-paced more formal dining of other restaurants in the area, I recommend you check out Limoncello. read more

Looking for a Great Italian Restaurant in South Beach? Look no further. I actually went to Limoncello based on the Yelp Reviews!!! From the moment you enter the restaurant there is someone greeting you to refilling water or getting your drink order.. the only problem with this was I was not sure who to Tip.. but they can figure that out!! Everything that we ordered was Phenomenal!!! The drinks were good!! Highly recommend the Limoncello Mojito! The Steamed Mussels were so flavorful.. and don't let that broth from the Mussels go to waste.. dip the Hot Pizza dough bread in it!! My Papadelle with Mushrooms and Truffle was so rich and yummy. The Spaghetti Tuta Mare the best I have ever had.. and the Lobster Ravioli so good. I am glad we all got something different to try!! The place also has outside seating if you prefer that!! read more

Excellent service from Carlo. Attentive and visiting with patrons. Not slow not fast. Perfectly timed. Waiters aren't bad to look at either. Food is amazing. Ambiance fun and cute.

I don't know why the reviews are so high here. It's just another mediocre Ocean Drive restaurant, and I was embarrassed I recommended it. They sat us outside despite being totally empty and almost 100 degrees. Food was just ok - meatball didn't seem homemade and cacio y pepe had way too much pepper. I should have known better based on the fact they had the workers on the sidewalk trying to talk you into eating there - never a good sign. read more
