Limoncello

The people here are amazing only to be exceeded by the amazing food. While the menu is strong it is really all about the amazing chef specials they always seem to put together that are the stars. I’ve never left anything but stuffed.

Very nice local BYOB in Waldwick. Quiet and lovely. Delicious food, very nice people.

Just finished a great dinner here with the daily. We used a Groupon deal and were treated very well. The meal started with warm bread and butter along with a complimentary plate of olives and cheese. We all enjoyed are dinner and were treated to a complimentary dessert. We will be back again.

This was our first visit to Limoncello restaurant and it won’t be the last. We made our reservation and used our Groupon. It is also BYOB which is a bonus if enjoy having wine with your dinner. As soon as we were seated they put the bread basket down along with a few pieces of garlic bread. We looked carefully over the menu and the daily dinner specials. We ordered the mussels (not rubbery at all) with a light red sauce for appetizer and the Limoncello salad for 2 and for our entrées we had linguine with clams (pasta was not overcooked or undercooked) just perfect in white sauce, t my husband had the Black Linguine with veal sausage, clams and grilled shrimp.
Everything was delicious from beginning to end. I ended my meal with a regular cup of coffee and even that was good. No dessert as we were full from our dinner. Looking forward to our next reservation. Thank you! I forgot to mention the waiters & waitresses provide stellar service. They all help each other out and are attentive.

Absolutely delicious food, attentive service, and a wonderful way to celebrate the birthday of a special friend — our friendship spanning over 50 years.

We have been to Limoncello several times in the past year and have always had a good meal. Tonight was no exception. We were greeted by Jimmy, the owner at the door and shown to our seats. The polenta appetizer with Gorgonzola cheese, mushrooms and a brown sauce was a real charmer — the mild flavor of the polenta was complimented by the tangy sauce. As usual we ordered the Limoncello salad which includes a soft goat cheese and a special dressing. Very tasty. Our two main courses were wonderful. The lobster ravioli was delicious, but the star of the show was the Pollo Capresse, a chicken dish that was really outstanding. The service was wonderful too. Between the ever charming Danny and our waiter of the evening, Miguel, we had a terrific time at dinner. Being a BYOB adds to the attraction of this restaurant — because you get to bring your favorite wine to a wonderful dinner. We passed on the dessert tray this time, but I must say that previous experiences with the desserts here have all been positive. A complementary glass of Limoncello for the guests topped off a perfect evening. I recommend Limoncello for it’s creative cuisine and its desire to please us and make us feel welcome.

I had my son’s baptism party here. The food and service were both excellent. I would highly recommend it. My guests loved the food and want to come back for dinners here.

Nice friendly service. Nice atmosphere. We had fried calamari for appetizer which was good. However my chicken dish was kind of tasteless. My fiancée had the capellini with shrimp. He liked it but didn’t love it. They were very attentive to us which was nice. After lunch they brought us free grapes and melon which was very nice too. I give five stars for the service but three for the food. Another good thing is the fact that it is BYOB which we love.
Okay today September ¹⁴⁄₂₀₁₅ we came again to this place. I was pleased with the service. They are very attentive to the customers. We loved the salad for two for dinner. I loved my salmons salad however my fiancée was not very happy with his chicken limoncello dish. Not very tasty. But the service and attentiveness is good.

Good, but not great. Again, this place is probably too expensive to justify going back. We had a groupon and it still came out to be not worth it. They gave free wine, some free apps, but still the bill was $ 60 and I felt I could have done better elsewhere. I’d rather just go to a good $ 30 place twice. I got some chicken dish with pears and peaches and the wife got tilapia and both were just average. Both were big portions, and we brought them home for lunch tomorrow, but neither of us wanted it and ended up throwing them out. I think if I was going to spend another $ 60 on a dinner, i’d drive further and go someplace better. The regular crowd is all senior citizens who probably don’t want to drive far. It’s BYO which is good, but still…

Hands down our favorite family restaurant. We go here weekly — not just my husband and me, but my parents as well. The food is always fantastic and the owners are so sweet. It’s a bit odd from the outside — being in the middle of a shopping center — and the décor could be improved — but the overall experience is just amazing. You need to try this place!

I came here for the first time looking for someplace new to eat and was really impressed. The only major instance I wasn’t expecting was that it really is an older crowd that comes here so I felt a little out of place. But I’ll put that aside for this review because that environment is very subjective depending on who you are, and I think that environment is part of their selling point anyway. Overall, the food was fantastic and the servers were very professional and attentive to our table. It wasn’t very busy so my expectations on service were met. I ordered a chicken bellisimo and my date ordered chicken parmigiana. Very tasty but the bellisimo did not seem as filling as the parmigiana was. Also, it should be noted that the salad they bring your table is delicious. One small thing I do want to comment about is the olive oil they have placed on the tables. It has garlic and some other herbs inside and I know that when you put items, such as garlic, and other moisture-​containing herbs infused in olive oil it can create an environment that breeds bacteria such as botulism. I didn’t ask if the oil was freshly infused in the bottle, or if they understood that there is a right and wrong way to infused oil, but this is something everyone should be aware of when eating out because let me tell you, botulism is not fun.
I gave them 4 stars with disregard to their oil and environment, but solely based on the place as the restaurant they market themselves as, their service, and any exceptional treatment I notice for me or for any other customer.

It was very good. Had a great evening with my husband and another couple. BYOB. I had their special Lamb shank with risotto YUMMY! Their desserts looked good but I opted out. All in all everyone enjoyed their meal. I will go back.

The food and menu was terrific, BUT the service was terrible– we sat for a very long time waiting for our salad and when it came time to pay we had to flag down the maitre de for the bill and again when my husband was ready

Went to Limoncello after conducting a Unilocal search since we were in the area. We saw it was a BYOB so we were excited to see that the small strip mall has a liquor store 3 doors down so we parked, picked up a bottle of wine and walked down to the restaurant. We were seated immediately without a reservation. The staff was attentive from the start. My wife and I ordered appetizers that were better than the main course. She had a beet tower appetizer that was really good and quite large. I had a rock shrimp in garlic over sauteed escarole. It too was very good and quite a large portion. We both had pasta for our main course. My wife had the penne arabiata. It was very bland with very little spice as it should have. I had a black linguini special with scallops and calamari. It too was very bland although the seafood was cooked to perfection. Needless to say, we both had half our dishes to take home. The staff did inquire about weather we liked our dishes or not and we just told them we were full from our appetizers. When we asked for the check, they brought us a complimentary tiramasu to share. It had a very strong coffee flavor. It then took about 15 minutes to get the check. The dinning room was very casual and comfortable.

This Italian gem gives you a great meal for a great price. My table enjoyed the Snapper, the Shrimp Scampi with Risotto, the Chilean Sea Bass, and the Trout. Not one complaint. Okay, the clams in the appetizer were too small, but the Artichoke Special was outstanding. So was my key lime pie slice. Not a flashy décor, in fact, it is a little cramped and dated, but once you open the bottle (s) of wine you brought and taste the seafood, you will say that you will be back. Everyone seems to be smiling, maybe because they all have discount coupons.

Thought we would try a local restaurant. Upon pulling up the parking was terrible. We parked in the rear of the building. The place was upon entering was cute and had approx 20 tables of which 5 were taken. I had the tilapia and my partner had one of the specials both of which was very bland and neither were impressed. Their website mad their food look so enticing. We shared a salad and that was better then the meal itself. The owner was serving and had absolutely no personality… probably why there were few in his restaurant. This is a BYOB place however they do serve their own limoncello which was the best part of the entire dinner. I am not sure if it was just an off nite on the food or if the owner has given up on caring (which is what it seemed) but I don’t think we would return. I rate it a 1 star only for the limoncello.

Delicious food! Bought a groupon to try since we live in the area. Staff was very nice, ordered caprese appetizer (very fresh), pollo belissimo, and half crispy duck. My husband loved his duck! Very flavorful and good portions. Would definitely go back.

My Christmas eve dinner was. Nothing special.
It started out by waiting 20 minutes for a table even though we had reservations. The bread was cold. The salad was almost to the point of being soggy.
My fish mahi mahi was tasteless as was my girlfriend’s grouper.
Service was slow, we were waiting for 20 minutes after our dessert to get the check. We were the last 2 tables in the restaurant.
The tiramisu was good. I had a groupon for this restaurant. I don’t think I would go back even if my meal was free. There are much better restaurants for the money out there.

Very good food and one day when I was there with our family they gave us a platter of desserts to try for free along with sambuca and lemoncello for dessert. Very nice family run restaurant. I will be going back again and again.
We loved the short ribs rissoto
filet mignon ravioli the most so far.
Enjoy

We had a very nice dinner here. The service was fine. My stuffed figs w cheese and herbs were excellent. Fish was done just right.
