One of the best Italian meals we have had. We went there to celebrate my birthday. It did not disappoint. One of the best Cacio de Pepe I have had. Loved our waiter Gaetano. We will be back.

The food here is amazing and the decor, colors, florals inside are beautiful. The only thing that brought down the score was our waiter forgot about us, lol we waited 15 minutes before I had to ask someone if we could place an order for food. Highly recommend this spot!

I have never reviewed a restaurant before. But I felt compelled to after our exceptional dinner tonight at Limoncello. From the bread and appetizers, salad and main courses to the incredible cannoli dessert everything was outstanding! We were faithful and long time customers of the former Tiramisu. We celebrated many birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions there over the years. We do family dinner every Saturday night. Limoncello had great reviews so we decided to give something new a try. What a treat! The new decor is wonderful-feels totally transformed. The service was top notch from every person we interacted with. The food was simply delicious. One special shoutout to a gem of a server, Miguel. We joked before we arrived that it would be lovely if he was still there. He was our server over countless years at Tiramisu. So great to see him again. He even remembered our previous drink orders. The drink I ordered— I think a berry martini was fantastic!!! We are already planning to return— maybe Father’s Day. Wonderful food, great ambiance but having Miguel there really sealed the deal.

Our first time here. The food was wonderful. We started with the Nonna meatballs. My wife had the daily pasta prepared in the cheese wheel and I had the Chilean sea bass. Mateo was an attentive server. We'll be back!

The food was so-so. Too heavy and rich and a little salty as well.

Six good friends decided to have dinner together and chose Limoncello because some of us had been there before and liked it… We all loved it this time! The food was excellent, the service was great ( thank you Francesca!) and the drinks were spot on. The menu is featuring a pasta finished in a giant Parmesan cheese wheel table-side…well done! My Ciopino was hearty and filled with lots of fish and shellfish. Overall a great meal with great service! Friday night meals there require a reservation because La Mesa Blvd is crazy busy with the La Mesa Farmers Market.

Many thanks to our wonderful server, Guitano. His service was impeccable and the salad, soup of the day, entrees, and dessert were absolutely devine. Limoncello is our restaurant choice for our anniversaries and special occasions. Thank you for a wonderful evening from beginning to end, and kudos to the incredible chef and staff!
