Limoncello focuses on serving exceptional food made with simple and fresh ingredients. Its culinary roots are in Cosimo’s seaside village of Positano, but you will also find an homage to traditional Italian-American cuisine on the menu.

The spirit and character of the Amalfi Coast can be found in the restaurant’s decor and lively atmosphere. Murals of Italy decorate the restaurant and live music is played every evening.

We dined at Terra Nostra for my wife's birthday and the veal saltimbocca and veal piccata were excellent. Our server Amanda was very attentive and gave us a complimentary pistachio gelato for dessert. A more relaxed atmosphere and less anxious than in season dining. Will definitely return again and again.

Beautiful property! Great atmosphere and welcomed warmly. The experience from beginning to end is first class. The food is outstanding! We enjoyed a beautifully delivered four course meal. The oysters are melt in your mouth along with the Cacio e Pepe and Risotto. The Brazino is delicious! A truly great meal.
