From the moment we sat down, Limoncello felt like a top-tier neighborhood trattoria. The menu offers an excellent selection of Italian classics, and every dish we tried was flavorful and beautifully plated. The endless bread with whipped compound butter is dangerously good. My pescatore was outstanding -- generous portions and perfectly seasoned -- and my partner's sole was delicate and expertly cooked. The dining room was lively and packed from 5 PM onward on a Thursday, a clear sign of consistent popularity. Service was a highlight: Lytton, our waiter, was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, making the evening effortless. The ambiance was elevated by a beautiful, talented female lounge singer performing classic hits, which added charm without overpowering conversation. Great food, great service, and a memorable atmosphere -- a must-visit for Naples Italian. read more

Wow! What a hidden gem! We had early reservations (5:00 pm) and by the time we left - this place was packed! And rightfully so:) I enjoyed reading the background of how Limoncello got started - specifically how the owner met his wife, relocated and followed his dream of opening a restaurant. Even more impressive to see him going table to table making sure everyone's meals were as expected. Our waitress Lindsey was incredible - probably the happiest and most bubbly waitress I've ever had:) I ordered the Pollo Saltimbocca which was chicken layered with prosciutto di Parma and smoked provola. It was good, but I personally felt the prosciutto was a strong taste when combined w the chicken. My friend ordered the sea bass and thought it was ok. Just didn't knock her socks off. For dessert we tried a pistachio cake (can't remember the name) with a scoop of pistachio ice cream. We both agree the ice cream was amazing, but we could have passed on the cake. Overall, we would definitely return when we are in the area! Would be very excited to try other dishes! read more

We finally made it in for dinner at Limoncello, and what an absolutely charming spot it is! The entire restaurant bursts with personality--from the bright lemon décor and painted murals on the walls to the adorable lemon-shaped salt and pepper shakers on each table. It's such a fun, happy atmosphere the moment you walk in. The staff was incredibly attentive. Our server, Alex, was fantastic and walked us through all the specials--each one sounding better than the last. We ordered a glass of wine and one of their house special non-alcoholic drinks, and both were delicious. For starters, we had the zucchini flowers, which you can't find just anywhere. They were outstanding--super tender, perfectly fried, and paired with a flavorful basil cream sauce. For entrées, I had the cod piccata with homemade pasta. It was perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. My girlfriend ordered the chicken parmesan, which came thin, crisp, and cooked beautifully, also served with homemade pasta. Their tomato sauce deserves its own applause--balanced, rich, and truly perfect. We were so full we couldn't even think about dessert, but that just gives us an excuse to return! We're thrilled we were able to visit before the busy season hits. Highly recommended--this is a spot we'll be returning to again and again. read more

Amazing homemade Italian fare, perfect service from our server Troy and busser Michael. Yes, everyone that works here is on their game. Lobster ravioli, with fresh chunks of fresh Maine lobster in a creamy saucy and yes the pasta is homemade. The owner who is beyond charismatic is the driving force behind this successful business. Then there's the acoustics guitar player who provides unbelievable entertainment. And desserts like a homemade donut in a homemade lemon creme sauce. This place is on point perfection . And free lemon liqueur for dessert. Is it inexpensive, no? But what good things are? read more

We were visiting Limoncello in Naples for the first time. I have to admit that this was one of the best restaurants we ate at. The meal and service were both really awesome. After a change of ownership, the new proprietor has completely revamped the dining experience. Seating is available both indoors and outside. There is enough parking near the restaurant, which is situated in a tiny strip mall. read more

I wish I could give this place 100 stars! Wow I was blown away by this entire experience. Not only is the food absolutely incredible, but the service is astounding. Not a moment were we left alone without some type of server checking on us. The manager came by twice to make sure we were taken care of. This is a true Italian restaurant with service that felt like family. So many gluten free options. The inside of the restaurant is so so so cute. Dressed up like Tuscany Italy. It is awesome and such a vibe, with a live guitarist and dim lighting. I wish I lived in Naples because I would be here every weekend. read more

Wowza, what a great meal! Step into this place and you feel transported into an authentic NY Italian restaurant. Food was terrific, and service was impeccable, even with them being incredibly busy. Started with their fried Burrata appetizer. I had the Branzino, my partner had the chicken parmigiana. Fresh bread to start. All was perfect. Really enjoyed this place, with live music as a bonus, and I look forward to coming back next time I'm in Naples. read more

Came here on a dinner date with my daughter, per her request, since we are new to the area. We had an awesome dining experience from being seated right away, to our very attentive and friendly server. We felt like he was 100% focused on us even though we had several other tables. The bread and butter service was tasty as was the lobster ravioli - very filling; so excited to be able to take it the rest home for leftovers. We've ordered the chicken Parm and cannolis a couple times in the past for take out and have been very pleased. The restaurant itself is very quaint. You don't feel like you're in a strip mall. The staff seems to really enjoy working there. Smiles all around. We will definitely be back! read more

I can't believe it took us so long to stop here! I love the cacio e pepe pasta dish and their bread and butter is SO GOOD! It's pretty much always busy and fun in here with live music every time I've stopped in. The servers ale always friendly and I enjoy stopping in. read more

My husband, daughter and I came for my birthday dinner. My husband had the Bronzino, my daughter had the lamb chops with blueberry sauce and I had the rigatoni with Sunday meat gravy special. Everything was delicious but the star meal was the lamb chops. The blueberry sauce was epic. The atmosphere was very nice and and well done. We really felt relaxed and relaxed enjoyed our meal. Our server was great! I asked him to do a couple extra things, like taste the Sunday sauce before I ordered it and it was delicious ! We definitely recommend going to this very nice restaurant. The food is great ! We will be back! read more

First time here, menu extensive and many additional specials. Unusual to have so many choices with a highly rated restaurant Had zucchini blossom appetizer, one person pea soup, another a salad. All very good. Entrees veal osso bucco outstanding, raviolis great, as was other items. Our server Julian was always available when needed. Noise level not severe so conversations possible. The only hitch was the osso bucco had no veges so I had to order a side. For an expensive entree would like a balanced meal. Highly recommend read more

This is a fabulous restaurant. We went somewhat early and did not have reservations, but they were able to seat us. The bread and dipping aioli are delicious and a great treat while you are waiting. We each had a glass of wine, the house selections are fine. A burrata appetizer was shared and they set the prosciutto aside for me as my friend is vegetarian. Tender and delicious all around. My friend ordered the gnocci and fully enjoyed it. I ordered the tagliolini alla Pescatora. Absolutely everything in this dish from the octupus to the calamari, shrimp, clams and mussels were perfectly cooked and seasoned and just so tasty. Their pasta is homemade and you can tell the moment you try it. A very enjoyable experience and I wished I lived closer! read more

We had heard great things about Limoncello. To me that proves restaurant perception is subjective. We all look for different things and appreciate things differently. So we were seated and orders taken. Wife had a "peach spritz" which she said was basically an Aperol Spritz with a dash of peach vodka. Then we had squash blossoms with a great sauce. Then she had kale salad. Mains were pizza for her and a pasta, dish with roasted pepper and sausage sauce. The food was overall pretty good but not knockout great. The pacing between courses was tedious. The room is pleasant. The violin music was too much. This was a 4 for my wife and a 3.5 for me. read more

Absolutely one of the best meals I've had! From the time we entered the restaurant everything was wonderful! The staff, the atmosphere and especially the food. Yes, it is July 12 and Steve and my birthday is June 7. Unfortunately I had had my hip surgery a couple days before so we had to wait to celebrate. Our friend, Chris took us to Limoncello restaurant in Naples. We had never been there before and it was absolutely fantastic. We had such a good time. Thank you Chris. read more

This is the kind of restaurant that once you have been there once, you will certainly return. The family run business is high on ambience and they make you feel very welcome when you arrive, kind of like the Olive Garden sales pitch of when you're here your family. The walls are brightly painted with Italian scenes, and there are lemons everywhere, almost to the point of being excessive. Lindsay was our waitress and she was bubbly as well as knowledgeable and demonstrated great enthusiasm for her job and the specials of the evening. Our party of four had one of the daily specials which was an Italian Seabass, chicken Parm, cheese, ravioli with sausage mushroom sauce and last, but not least a shrimp risotto dish. I started with one of their classic appetizers, a zucchini squash flower that is stuffed with several different cheeses and lightly fried to perfection, it was lovely. They also provide a decent bread with butter infused with parsley and garlic. Every dish was four star plus. Being the birthday boy that I was, I received a complementary tiramisu that was quite good. This is a fun restaurant filled with professional staff that actually seem to want to be there, which makes the dining experience, very pleasurable, can't wait for our next return read more

We had dinner at Lemoncello, in Naples, last night for my wife's birthday. We were a party of four. The restaurant was packed. The food was delicious, the decor was fun and funky, the service was spot on and our waiter Enricko insured that everything went smoothly to help make the night a memorable occasion. The menu is full of delicious Italian classics from appetizers to desserts and everything we ate was delicious. All of their pasta are freshly made. Truly one of the best Italian restaurants in SWFL. that we've come across. They even called us on the way home to inform me that I left my credit card behind. Thank you, Lemoncello, for a great dinner and you can be sure that we will be back and not just to pick up my credit card. read more

The food at this place is super legit. The service is a bit spotty. There are so many people walking around bringing bread , water, wine glasses , but no one remembers what they are suppose to do if you ask them for something. However, the food is delish. The bread and the aioli severs with it is so fresh and tasty. I had 2 spritz's to drink the Hugo was great the limoncello sorta of tasted like pinesol but that's kinda its thing. I ordered the sizzle dining menu and a Italian wedding soup. My bf got the meatballs and the short rib tagliatelle. My menu was the short rib bruschetta, the pacchierre wirh braised meat, and the lemon zeppole. Everything was excellent. The soup was a tomato broth different than most wedding soups , and the meatballs were tender on there and fresh. My short rib bruschetta was so different but I could eat it every day. Like it was that good. My pasta was fresh, al dente and a large serving. I did have to pour my own water a few times but no biggie. The best part was the lemon donut dessert. So crispy with sugar outside sitting in lemon creme that was so perfect. I e had a excellent meal and enjoyed the live music also. Such a gem in a unsuspecting spot in north Naples. read more

Stopped in for Happy Hour and sat at bar. Bartender was on top of things at a very crowded bar; got to us right away for our drink orders. Have to say that the limoncello spritz was one of the best here in Naples. Pizza was excellent, served quickly and piping hot. Will be back. read more

Everything was amazing! This is a neighborhood gem that I've passed by without a second look because it's in a plaza surrounded by unappealing businesses. THAT WAS A HUGE MISTAKE! I've been missing the best food for all this time due to my assumption! The staff was amazing, appetizers, the selections, music, vibe, entrees, literally everything was superb! You need to run to this place! You will not be disappointed. read more

I live in Naples, my friends live in Estero. I was looking for something where neither one of us had to drive very far. I decided on this restaurant, Limoncello. I love when I call an Italian restaurant the people that answer have an Italian accent, as was the case here. We were seated promptly on arrival. The bread was fresh and the dip delicious. All three meals came as ordered and all we're good. I even have leftovers for this evening, for dinner. A winner. read more

Oh Limoncello you did not disappoint!!! The food is 100% delicious. The service is 100% perfect. The ambiance is fabulous. As a family of 8 everyone had a great time. We will definitely be back. This is now one of our favorites to go to for authentic Italian food. read more

What went well? EVERYTHING! Delicious food, great service, great atmosphere, and the owner is the best.

Absolutely incredible - beyond our expectations. Lindsey was our server, and she treated us like old friends from the moment we sat down. She guided us through the entire experience, recommending the best appetizers, drinks, entrées, and dessert. She even upsold us on a few additions that truly elevated our meal - and we're so glad she did. As someone who used to serve myself, I especially appreciated the small details - like the food runners knowing exactly who ordered what without having to ask. That level of coordination and professionalism does not go unnoticed. To top it all off, we were presented with a shot of pistachio limoncello at the end of the evening, and it was absolutely delicious. What we ordered: short rib bruschetta, the appetizer special, soup of the day, Caesar salad, spicy margarita, lobster ravioli, lamb chops, veal special, espresso martinis, tiramisu martini, Americano, and semifreddo al torroncino. Everything. Was. Amazing Could not recommend enough. read more

Often come here when we are in from New York. Great ambiance and food. We had server Lindsay last night- she was such a pleasure and really elevated our experience. I wanted a spicy dirty martini (dirty martini with added Tabasco) - places don't always accommodate or get it right, but Lindsay knew what I was looking for and made it happen. In the top 3 of best martinis I've ever had. Always look forward to coming back! read more

I have been to Limoncello Naples several times over the past few years, and it continues to be my go to Italian restaurant in Naples. It is a great go to spot for a nice night out during the week, and also my favorite place to bring friends who are visiting from out of town. The food is consistently excellent, the service is attentive, and the ambiance is exactly what you want for a great night out. The arancini are my go to appetizer. Perfectly crunchy with a really flavorful sauce. I always order the boscaiola ravioli, and it never disappoints. For dessert, the tiramisu is a must and my choice every time. Each time I visit, the food and service somehow get even better. I will absolutely continue coming back. Easily the best Italian spot in Naples. read more

I was looking forward to visiting Limoncello for the first time even though I live less than two miles away. I experienced joy, surprises and disappointment. My reservation was 6:45 and, fortunately, I arrived early as the parking lot was completely filled. I joined in the circle game with other cars and finally was the first in line as a couple backed out. So, go early enough to allow time to find a parking spot. I was seated immediately. As a single, I was at a small table in the back. As I watched other tables being served, I was not approached for almost 10 minutes. They were very busy but that did feel like a long time. Their bread is good and their special butter is outstanding. I ordered the Ravioli de Vitello. The sauce was excellent as was the filling but the ravioli was severely undercooked and very chewy. Think warm Twizzlers. That was very disappointing as everything thing else was so good. I explained to a server, not as a complaint as much as an observation for improvement. I decided to try the tiramisu and it was good. Not the best I've had but a 7/10. The restaurant is very busy so obviously succeeding more than not. I was disappointed and with so many fine restaurants, it might be some time before I try them again. No concession was offered for an undercooked meal, and, while not asked for nor necessary, it might have gone a long way in my feeling better about their care for fine service and food and a return visit. read more

We had an amazing first visit. Lindsay was our server and she was fantastic...incredibly attentive, pleasant, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food and atmosphere made the whole experience even better. It was a bit loud at times. Best table is the last couple of tables past the bar if you want it quieter. Casual Dress. They have excellent gluten free choices and can substitute GF pasta for almost all the past a dishes. Will serve GF bread at your request. The butter served with it was addictively delicious. Both Panzanella di Positano and Insalata di Rucula e Fragole salads were perfect. Gnocchi al limone, Ravioli di Vitello, and Salmone alla Puttanesca were amazing! We will definitely return to Limoncello. read more

We stopped here for a friend's birthday. It's definitely the little things that make a restaurant 5 stars. This places customer service is on point. Our water was never empty, our bread basket was always full, and we were asked multiple times how everything was. I ordered homemade pasta with meatballs. Everything was delicious. They even gave the birthday girl tiramisu and everyone got limoncello shots. This place is a class act! read more

Great Bartender !!!!! Tasty food.... Really Nice Ambiance. Warm and inviting atmosphere. We will be back.

Under no circumstances should you order the pasta fagiole, unless you like luke warm dishwater with a dearth of both pasta e fagiole! The veal Milanese was like an Weiner Schnitzel, thin, breaded and dry. Didn't finish and didn't take it home. The cioppino was brought to the table at room temperature. This would have been a one star but for the pleasant service of Lindsay. read more

Great restaurant but the wait staff and kitchen staff need to know that there are at least 3 pastas that don't have egg in them. Wait staff informed me that only the penne was dry (without egg) and we were charged $3 additional dollars. The owner, Cosimo informed me of this on our way out. The staff must know this, especially if one is a vegan (as I am) or do not eat eggs. read more
