"Service, selection, and presentation all very good. Atmosphere is modern, open, and maybe a bit noisy so not so much the place for a quiet romantic evening but not so loud that you can't hold a conversation. A bit on the pricey side but worth it if you are looking for a quality night out for a special event or anytime you want to splurge a bit for a great meal. Better than you'd expect for a suburban store front location. If you like Romaine's, Northborough's other well known eatery, you'll probably like it here as well."

"We were a party of four who ordered appetizers, cocktails and entrees which met with rave reviews from all of us. Our server was friendly and attentive without making us feel rushed. Our reservation was available and ready at the stated time. The owner could be seen roaming the premises with a watchful eye making sure everyone was taken care of."

"This was my first time at Limoncello & I was thrilled with my experience. Making a reservation on Open table was easy & we were seated promptly.Excellent table for two in the bar/lounge area with a fantastic view of the busy open kitchen. Live music (Frank Sinatra-like singer who was spot on)The owner was present and mingled with guests. We started with the brushetta with feta cheese,fresh diced tomatoes and onions over garlic toast.For our entrees we had the Haddock and the Pollo Limone.Both dishes were mouth watering but not heavy. Light,fresh and perfectly cooked. We split the tarimisu which was simple yet perfectly made&an after dinner Limoncello.This was one of the best meals thatI have had out in a long time! Will be back."

"Love the Bistro Limoncello! The service was terrific, we were greeted warmly as we entered. The bartender was very friendly and recommended different drinks/wines. Our server was great. We all had different dinners from Seafood Marco to Chicken Francais, both were fabulous. Great atmospher and great time at the Bistro!!"

"It was our first visit to this restaurant. They brought over some bread which was actually cold, like it was recently defrosted. It was damp and not warm.
We shared a Caprese Salad and the tomatoes were slightly green on inside but had a great balsamic reduction which made up for the tomatoes. The wait to get our entree's was 20 minutes. They must of been having some problems and in fact the people we struck up a conversation with at the table next to us waited even longer. I had the Veal Saltimbocca over linguine which was ok. The veal was not that tender and actually thick in spots but the pasta was cooked perfectly.
We are planning on giving them another chance."

"It took more than an hour from the time we got our salads to get our entrees. We got one or two apologies from the waitress (who was very pleasant), but nothing from the kitchen or management. Disgraceful treatment. People who came in after us had dessert before we got our meals.
My meal, Seafood Marco, had 4 small shrimps, 3 small scallops, 2 bites of rubbery lobster. At $28, that's a ripoff. And it was no better than other seafood dishes I've had at numerous restaurants in MetroWest for far less money, and served in a reasonable time."

"It was a very nice experience. The calamari was the best we had. The chicken marsala was excellent, the shrimp limoncello was delicious. Unfortunately the sirloin steak was over cooked we asked for it rare but it came medium. I am sure if we said something - the restaurant would have done something but we didn't our fault. The waitresses were all very friendly and professional. The owner stopped over to make sure everything was fine. We would definitely recommend and we will return."

"This was our second visit to Bistro Limoncello. My suggestion is to sit at the bar as the service and attention are excellent there. Table service was slow, disorganized, and clearly not professional."

"The waitress was great,food good, but as a party of 4,we were asked to hurry along and pay the check(which we had but were waiting for the credit card back)because there were other people with reservations for the table.This was around 8:30pm.We were there less than 2 hours having drinks, appetizer, and an entree.Maybe if the food had come sooner we would have left sooner.It's a good thing we didn't decide on dessert!For an upscale restaurant, we found this very rude and out of character.We spoke to the owner/manager on the way out and he made excuses for us being rushed out, also acting quite rude.Needless to say,this restaurant needs to learn how to treat their customers better if they want them to return. Most likely we will not."
