Excellent experience at Lemonica! Our waitress, Mira, was super pleasant! The food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend Lemonica's!

A Hidden Gem for Authentic Italian Cuisine Tucked away in the heart of Hollywood, LeMonica offers an unforgettable dining experience that transports you straight to Italy. From the moment you step inside, the cozy, rustic ambiance makes you feel like you've entered a charming neighborhood trattoria in Rome or Florence. The exposed brick walls, soft lighting, and fragrant aromas set the stage for a meal that's as much about the atmosphere as it is the food read more

Wonderful experience at Lemonica. Olga provided amazing service and food recommendations. Will be back again. Highly recommended

I'm usually not one to write reviews but I feel like I had to. While the restaurant is beautiful and has a nice aesthetic, the food was just not good. My girlfriend ordered the pesto pasta, while I ordered the carbonara. We both had horrible stomach pains all night (not the best way to spend your last day on vacation) The carbonara was ALL bacon, you couldn't taste anything besides that. Our drinks were also subpar. The server was super sweet, but he didn't give us back any change after we paid in cash and gratuity was automatically applied. Automatic gratuity for 2 people seems a bit excessive. I think now I know better than listening to Instagram influencers. read more

Everything you look for when going out to eat. great food, friendly and excellent customer service, clean restaurant with the most Italian vibe (coming from someone who travels to Italy a lot). amount of food is big, so you pay for good quality and good amount. live music. special thanks to KATE, for her warm and excellent service. Not my first time here, not my last! read more

amazing food and great service from johnny! would definitely recommend. the tiramisu was great

I couldn't wait to try this new Italian spot and I decided yesterday on my birthday To start I made a reservation online , it asked if there were any special Occasions I put yes my Birthday and to be seated inside because of the heat the inside of the restaurant was very warm and hot would of been cooler outside We Ordered two pasta dishes , and two Spritzier , They did serve some cold hard bread not Good, The Spritzier came not Really Great tasted weak for that price , the Pasta came in a Big bowl with a small portion of Pasta on the Warm Side was Dry lack of sauce had to put some olive Oil , No Music for the Ambiance nothing mentioned about my Birthday So why do they even ask ? There are other Italian Restaurant to go to that do a better for automatic add on 20% Tip The food I Ordered was ok . The service was ok giving that I most likely will never go back or invite my friends to this new spot in Hollywood . Not Miami read more

Not as good as I expected the vegetables was over cooked when I asked for chicken wings I was told I already had ordered a vegetable dish with in less than a minute I could not cancel that order to order chicken wings red sauce with everything on the menu the waitress was very rude and slow that will be my first and last meal they read more

Food was so fresh and delicious. Kate was a great server and so sweet . I love it here.

Came here for a Christmas dinner with my family and what a mistake that was.... Super understaffed, the service and food was horrible, if you have a restaurant open on a holiday you should be well prepared and they were not. Truthfully there's nothing good I could say about anything. Appetizer weren't anything special, only good thing was the truffle sauce on the tartar. Main courses, I personally had the ossobuco and it was such a disappointment... maybe 3 pieces of meat, but this is more of a ossobuco stew. I took a few bites and was very annoyed how poor this dish was so I took it home to my dog. We also ordered a chicken cutlet took 2 bites and that went to my dog. The pasta dish got ordered, then apparently they "forgot" to fire the dish and let me make it clear at this point more than 1/2 of the restaurant has left and there were maybe 3 other tables inside and some people outside and the service was just shit! This is just another want to be fancy Italian place that can't deliver. read more

We tried it last week after seeing a few posts on IG. The place is small, nice and cozy. We went there for dinner to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Place was full and busy but the service was extremely slow and not that good. Servers and almost everyone there were from Ukraine and didn't really feel like an Italian restaurant at all. Def not an Italian experience at all. It took almost an hour just for us to get bread and the two hours to get our food. After waiting for so long I was hoping the wait was worth it but unfortunately pasta was very blend and didn't have much flavor. Server brought us a pizza bc of the long wait and he was nice but it seems they need either experienced people serving and in the kitchen or get their staff together to be able to serve people promptly. Also a few items on the menu were not available which it was a bummer too. Overall it was okay but won't come back there... read more

I am a lemon lover so I was excited to visit after seeing a tik tok post. We sat inside after standing in the front and waiting for someone to acknowledge us. Although we had an early reservation, the wait staff was really slow and inexperienced. They have no bar so I suggest going with wine for an alcoholic beverage because my lemon martini was weak and not made by someone with experience. Ordered the burrata which was good. The pizza was okay and so were the pasta's but nothing blew me away except for the tiramisu. Cappuccino's were ok. The ambiance is pretty and cozy but you need experienced managers and staff for better service. read more

Have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. The staff is fantastic and they accommodated a last minute reservation and even called to tell us a table had opened up. The waitress, Mira, was very knowledgeable about the food, and we took her suggestions. The restaurant was packed, but she took care of us efficiently and effectively. Gazpacho was beautifully light and herby. The eggplant melted in our mouths, pizza was the best surprise - probably best I've tasted so far in SoFl. We had a bit of desert - all delicious. The place is cozy and loud full of celebrations. We will definitely be back read more

Food was mediocre. The one dish was supposed to be served with pasta and when served was actually fettuccini. The waiter was rushing and when we were not quite ready to order because we had questions and were undecided he said he would come back. He actually did this twice so we finally had to ask another wait staff person to come over and asked her two questions. She then requested us to defer to our server which is totally understandable. The wine was less than a 4 oz pour. They fail to disclose their is a 20% automatic gratuity added to all receipts which is listed at the very bottom of the menu. Upon receiving the receipt, the gratuity was listed as a "service charge!" When paying it the auto pay POS is provided by the waiter with additional amounts of tips if you care to give one. We chose not to do so. read more

Lemonica was amazing! Food was fantastic and service was A+++ Was going to go to Cafe Martorano but it was full. Highly recommend Lemonica if you're in Hollywood Service was fantastic - Johnny G was our server and was top notch. We had the mushroom pasta and the bolognese both amazing The caprese salad was as good as we've had anywhere. We normally don't do deserts, had two both fantastic! Highly highly recommend Lemonica! read more

Nice atmosphere, decor, location on Young Circle and very welcoming and friendly staff. I got a salad with shrimp to go and it was good but I couldn't find the dressing and it turns out it was on the bottom of the bowl. Although it was probably healthy, the dressing wasn't very flavorful either. The order came with triangular pastry type bread that was rubbery and tough to chew unfortunately. Music was nice italian vocalist standards but slightly too loud -- it would be challenging to carry on a conversation. A bit expensive for what I got but I would come back and try some pasta etc that they offer. read more

The place was just bad service was horrible. They didn't really care about anything. They do not speak good English. The drinks were OK. My cocktail was barely full. It was only one fourth full. The pasta was horrible lacking flavor and the and the drinks were lacking. Everything labor sweetness wasn't even contriving and the dessert was again. OK lacking liquor for the tiramisu, I came here with my wife and kids so I thought it was gonna be good. Do not recommend horrible And the ingredients look like they came out of Publix not even fresh and the mushrooms that were in my pasta we can't totally. I'd rather go to the Papa John's salad a quarter away from this restaurant and eat there do not recommend go anywhere else. and the ambience was really not good. The inside looked dead no music on the patio. read more

Lemonica - 1 of the pasta's - Wine Bars Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

food and service were both bad. I don't recommend. also very over priced. steak was barely edible. waitress brought out wrong steak then tried charging me more for it. i have a two year old and we asked to bring her food out first. this is a very standard request. the waitress brought our food out first and the food for my two year old ten minutes later. this place will be out of business in about six months. don't let the ambience fool you. read more

Slow service. Good food but not worth the high price. Drinks were okay for $16. No bread but some pizza squares that were hard as rocks.

I had dinner with my family at lemonica, and it was amazing, we got pasta and pizza for the kids, It was delicious, and our server Inna took care of us, excellent customer service, she solved all our needs for the food. Definitely I will be back. read more

Amazing Italian food! I loved it. The staff was very knowledgeable and the ambiance is so amazing.

The food is incredible, fabulously delicious! I felt like I was in a small cafe in Italy. Beautiful, delicious, ambiance romantic and cozy. The waitress guessed all our wishes before we even said them. The service is incredible! There are no photos because we ate before we remembered the phone))) read more

Food not good I was expecting more Italian flavors: I realized every want was from the Russian region. Communication was not clear And we were celebrating a B day and we have a cockroach in our appetizer no manager came to the table to apologize I'm guessing they run with not managers. The server came to take our main course order and I ask her do you really that we have a cockroach in hour appetizer and her answer was I'm sorry do that came from the outside and I told her not from your appetizer. I'm in the industry restaurant you need a manager and a chef to respond. I'm not recommending this restaurant to any body. read more

First time food was amazing I asked for a long island iced tea they didn't know what it was, but they went out their way to look it up and make it for us. Great customer service highly recommend. The best pepperoni I've ever had!!!! read more

We did not know what we wanted to eat and by the time we decided the restaurant was closing in 15 minutes. Lucas convinced us to stay and so glad we did because food was delicious, and he was amazing! Super friendly and even asked the cook to bake us some bread because it had run out. We were visiting from New Jersey. We will be going back for sure! read more

Today we finally visited the restaurant that we wanted to visit for a long time, what can I say from the height of my 10 years of experience in the restaurant business... the food was good, I especially liked the mushroom pizza, but the impression of the food was spoiled by other circumstances, namely the fact that the service was terrible, or rather there was none at all, we sat for 30 minutes, none of the waiters took our order, finally the manager Tatyana came up to us and started serving us herself, on Sunday evening the restaurant was full of people and there were ONLY 3 waiters working on the floor, we waited a long time for food, the kitchen apparently could not cope with the orders, it was very noisy, the music was not heard at all... nevertheless, special thanks and gratitude to the manager Tatyana who did everything possible and impossible to brighten up our first unsuccessful experience read more
