Limoncello’s from-scratch kitchen provides a premium dining experience with a focus on dishes from the sun-splashed Almafi coast, home of their name-sake Limoncello. The menu is a bonafide wishlist of Italian coastal specialties featuring an array of mouth-watering pasta, fresh seafood, prime cuts and more.

Locust Point

About the restaurant

Step into our historic building, and you will immediately be greeted by its red-brick walls, exposed beams, and intimate bar space leading to an open and airy dining room and our fantastic back patio set for outdoor dining and conversations around our fire pit (weather permitting!).

Sit at the bar to enjoy an artisanal beer or oak-aged bourbon alongside a quick bite of charcuterie meats and cheeses, crispy brussels sprouts, or shark fries. Or venture into the heart of Copper Shark for a leisurely chef-inspired meal created by Chef Matthew Audette.

In addition to seasonal masterpieces, you can always count on classic cuisine like our petite filet, soup du jour and pot du creme. Weather permitting, we encourage you to cozy up next to our courtyard fire pit.

Sundays we only have Brucnh service

Great food menu with nice variety of seasonal offerings. Outstandoing drink menu. Service by Christian was top notch the entire evening. Three of us got the 8oz filet mignon but asked for three different degrees of doneness. All three were done to exact requested level. Fourth person got the crabcake which been rated disappointing in other reviews. Glad they did because they were very pleased as well.

IMPORTANT: If you want to reserve an OUTDOOR table, you MUST select the "Outdoor" seating option in Open Table. If Open Table does not offer that option, then that means they are all reserved. ("Standard" means an indoor table.)

To our Indoor Diners: we are fortunate to have a very sophisticated small particle air filtration system in our dining room, thanks to the museum.

I celebrated my birthday dinner here, and I was extremely happy thats i chose this restaurant. We were seated at a window table which provided such a pretty view, our waiter was extremely attentive and gracious in creating a great dining experience. He provided us with a wide range of recommendations from the menu and was attentive and patient. The food was phenomenal! I had the linguine fini and the 8 oz steak, both dishes were seasoned to perfection. To end the night oir waitor brought out a birthday dessert to share which really commemorated the occasion. My only critique is the food portion were a bit small but otherwise I will definitely be back to try other dishes on their menu!!
