Limoncello Ristorante

Excellent Italian restaurant in the North End. Definitely one of my favorites.They have a nice front patio and the inside is very cozy. You really can't go wrong with any one of their pastas but I particularly enjoy the Rosette with their homemade wide noodles.The restaurant is slightly upscale (but not too fancy) and on the pricier side. Though the food quality warrants the price in my opinion. Staff was attentive and happy to provide recommendations. Hope to return for another satiating Italian meal!

I was hoping the best for this place but may be we hit it on an off day. Maybe it's me or me being a tourist but the service was not what I expected from a bill we got. I felt we were expected to know the menu before hand. We got an appetizer of artichoke and that was a mistake. It was not eatable. I also got the Rosette Al Montasio Ed Olio Di Tartufo. It was okay if you like a plate of sauce. The wide noodles were somewhat wide. I guess what frustrated me the most is that the table next to us got pretty good service and we didn't. For anybody that is reading this and still wants to check it out you need to try the meatballs. What I heard from the waitress talking to the table next to us saying they are amazing.

Absolutely rude service and subpar food. I've been treated better by motor vehicle commission employees than the waitress we had tonight on the patio. Find another place. Not worth the hype.Say hello your owner for me.

True Italian restaurant in North end. Everyone spoke Italian and the menu was full of amazing authentic dishes! As with any restaurant in the north end, the tables are tight together, but that was expected. We still had a pleasant time and the food was very good. The chicken parmigiana was our favorite, the sauce was fantastic. The chicken picatta was also good, the lemon white wine sauce was good but it needed some more seasoning on the chicken. We also ordered mozzarella and tomatoes to start and it was so fresh! The service was decent, the server wasn't overly friendly but also wasn't rude. We would definitely go back!

Outstanding food. Start with the meatballs, bread and a glass of Chianti. Then order the Rossette. Just do it!The wait staff are friendly and efficient. Plus the owner and his brother are all business and customer service is top-notch. This is in the North End with plenty of choices. Come here as it has a very nice atmosphere. Read what I wrote above.

I returned to this restaurant because their meatballs were so delicious 6 years ago! And sure they still are. They open at noon but got there early so they seated me and enjoyed the ambiance and just people watched until they were ready to take my order. As usual, I over ordered For 1 personMeatballs House salad Jumbo shrimp with limoncello pastaI couldn't finish them all but I had fun getting a taste of what was 6 years ago. Delicious! Whenever you're in Boston in the North end area, this restaurant is a must try!

WE LOVE LIMONCELLO!!!The food is AMAZING!You can get anything on the menu - specials, the standards....I don't care for salad in general, but they have a Caesar salad - it's incredible! Our family favorite dish?Rosette Al Montasio Ed Olio Di TartufoIt's worth 100 dollars or more but they sell it for less than that so it's a bargain! The service is great - the waiters and waitresses all have a sense of humor and are extremely friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is in a gorgeous neighborhood with amazing people and families.If you're Italian - they speak the language all around the area and in the restaurant - it's a beautiful language to hear! In this visit, we had two male singers singing 2-4 songs in English and Italian - it was a major highlight of the night! 6 stars!

Limoncello is a nice Italian restaurant in Boston that we recently tried. My husband had the eggplant parmesan, and it was delicious - crispy outside and soft inside, with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. I had the scallops, which were fresh and well-seasoned. The staff was friendly, and the place felt cozy. If you want good Italian food in Boston, Limoncello is a great option!

There were many restaurants in the area to enjoy from but this one caught my eye the most due to the reviews and the fact that they had a patio in the back to enjoy the nice weather. We were seated fairly quickly and our server came over to take our order and explained the specials of the day. She was super friendly and charismatic. We ordered the meatballs since she said that's what the restaurant was known for as our appetizer and I ordered a limoncello spritz since they only had spritz, wine and beer as options. It was very tasty but a bit too strong. The meatballs were absolutely delicious, they were moist inside as soon as you cut your fork through them and the marina sauce they came in wasn't overpowering. I ordered their white clam pasta as my entree and also tasted my sisters plate which was a huge variety of seafood in a red broth. My pasta dish was light and the clams were cooked to perfection; I probably would have liked a bit more garlic and white sauce in the pasta since it seemed a bit dry but overall fantastic flavor. My sister's dish was absolutely delicious; the lobster dipped in the broth was perfection and it just came with a huge amount of seafood. The broth was definitely the star in that meal, at one point all I was doing was sipping on the broth. Highly recommend !

Unpretentious, boisterous and reminiscent of the Italian NYC local spots i was taken to as a child, Limoncello is great. Solid, tasty food, a good wine list, on point service and a friendly casual vibe would make it a local for me if i lived here.I could make a happy meal out of their bread, sauce and wine alone! Make a reservation and enjoy.
