"I have been here several times and the biggest problem I have is that I never know what to order. Everything on their menu is amazing and the value is great. I highly recommend the Linguine Jambalaya. It is my 'Go To' when I just can't make up my mind. If you are looking for very high quality at a very reasonable price point, you can't beat Limoncello."

"Absolutely love the Italiano Blanco pizza. This is what I have everytime. I tried the Carbonara pasta. I found it kind of bland. Definitely not spicy enough. My wife had the lemon zest pasta and found the lemon over-powering.
The service as always was great."

"I have only been to this restaurant twice because I don't live nearby and I forget about it, but both times, I have found it a real treasure. The service was fantastic - attentive but not obsequious - the food was delicious, the dessert was awesome and the price was reasonable.
I will definitely go back again, and not just when I happen to be heading that way."

"This is just my favourite casual restaurant in the Hamilton area. The food is always good, the service, even when the place is very busy, is excellent and it's just a great location to take a break when shopping on Ottawa street."

"The food was very good and the price was more than reasonable. Calamari fritti and the soups were excellent. I cant remember the names of our pasta dishes mine was a clam dish and my wife had a lemon angelhair pasta dish. We added shrimp to both dishes. They were very good though I wish my clams were still in the shell and not mixed through the dish. That is my only criticism. It wasn't very crowded when we were there but I think it could get a little loud when really busy though it wont keep us away, we will be back again and again!"

"Had very positive feedback from friends prior to going to Limoncello, so went with great anticipation. Loved the look of the place and the feeling or ambiance. Tried the Veal special of the day, but was not enamoured of it. Found the veal a touch tough and the pasta very starchy and the sauce bland. Because of the rave reviews from friends, will try again and order something different next time."
