Limoncello Ristorante

Went for dinner for the first time. Had an appetizer and two main courses. Everything was serve in a timely manner. The food was warm and very tasty. The service was timely, friendly and attentive. Next time I think I will try their pasta dishes and maybe the gelato. Definitely a keeper. Will cooked back again. Recommended!

The food was amazing! Best Italian food I have had in the US probably. Our table ordered the salmon, prosciutto and mozzarella to start, a tagliatelle pasta and tiramisu. All were delicious - very flavorful but not too much. Most of the tables are outside, but they have heating and a tent to keep it warm, but dress warmly in the winter evenings. Will definitely return as much as we can.

When I go out to eat I prefer non corporate restaurants like this place. Limoncello is run by three friends who are passionate about what they do and I enjoyed everything.

Place was very clean and charming like places I saw in Italy. You can sit inside or outside.

We started with octopus and potato salad. Trust me and try it I'm not a meatball person but I couldn't keep my fork off of it (which wasn't mine). I love seafood so decided on Grigliata Capri. My hubby ordered lasagna and trifle and parmesan fries. We also ordered chocolate gelato (it was amazing).

Although the place just opened server was really well trained and I look forward to going back again.

Nestled in the foothills of San Juan Capistrano, Limoncello Ristorante is a concealed treasure . With its warm and friendly staff, casual inviting atmosphere, Limoncello is the perfect place to enjoy a romantic dinner, a special occasion meal, or a casual lunch with friends. A nice outdoor patio is available for those that like to enjoy the pleasant Southern California climate.

The menu at Limoncello features a variety of unique Italian dishes, all made with fresh ingredients. One of the most popular items on the menu is the Sofia Loren, a dish of paccheri pasta combined with squid ink pasta, shrimp, grape tomatoes, bell pepper infused in an exquisite creamy lobster brandy sauce. The different textures and tastes easily makes this a favorite.

The Pera salad is a standout dish if you would like to enjoy a salad as an appetizer. It is a generous portion, so it can easily be considered a meal in itself. This salad is a combination of fresh organic greens, cherry tomatoes, grapes, sliced roasted pears, sweet gorgonzola, walnuts and a Pomegranate dressing. The salad is light and refreshing, and the flavors all come together beautifully. The optional grilled chicken shrimp or fish adds a protein element to the salad..

For those who are looking for a more hearty meal, the Grigliata Capri is a great option. This dish features a grilled seafood platter of shrimp, scallops, calamari and fish served with grilled vegetables. The seafood is fresh and cooked to perfection, and the grilled vegetables provide a healthy and flavorful side dish.

No meal at Limoncello is complete without dessert. The restaurant offers a variety of classic Italian desserts, such as tiramisu, gelato, and sorbet. My favorite is the Delizia Al Limoncello. All of the desserts are made in-house and are wonderfully delicious.

I highly recommend Limoncello Ristorante to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Italian meal in Southern California.

As an Italian I rarely eat at Italian restaurants unless their dishes are way above the average. Finally I had the pleasure of dining at Limoncello, and I must say, it truly transported me to the heart of Italy with every bite. Their dedication to authentic Italian cuisine is evident in their diverse menu. I particularly enjoyed the "Tagliolini Limoncello". The delicate balance of flavors in this dish had me savoring each bite, and it was nothing short of culinary magic. If you're in the mood for exquisite Italian fare, Limoncello should be at the top of your list. Do not miss their delicious dessert! Highly recommended!
