Awesome restaurant that I would highly recommend. The view is unreal and almost makes you feel like you're in Venice with the open-style seating and lights. We even saw an alligator that came swimming by! (Not a danger at all as it was lower than the restaurant) The service was also outstanding - a server saw someone at our table scratching a mosquito bite and came over immediately with a bottle of bug repellant without anyone asking. They were always attentive and courteous. The food was also great. The portions could be a little bit small but the taste was top notch. Even though the price may be a bit pricy ($10-$20 for an entree) you are paying for it with the ambiance, service, and taste. read more

Good food and great service. We got a table outdoors next to the lagoon and with the lighting around it was perfect for a date( though there were some casually dresses people too) read more

Ok food but awful service!! Not sure if they were busy on a Monday night or just didn't care but we waited 35mins before walking out after paying for the water and appetizers that we ordered but didn't eat. They didn't even bother to ask why we left without eating. Also never got the wine we ordered while waiting for 35 mins read more

Beautiful restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine! We had the pleasure of dining here Christmas week & everything was perfect! Nice place for a romantic dinner on the water. read more

I came to Limoncello based on the previous review and I absolutely regretted that decision. We came at around 8pm and the restaurant was completely empty. Where was everyone? Obviously, they were eating at much better restaurants. The food was overpriced for the quality. We ordered the chicken Marsala, spaghetti bolognese, mushroom pizza. For $220+ pesos, chicken Marsala consisted of a slice of chicken breast and 3 bites of fettuccine on the side. It was not filling nor worth the money. Plus the mushroom sauce on the pasta was gross. Spaghetti bolognese was also tasteless with limp overcooked spaghetti. And I've had better meat sauce out of a Ragu jar. The mushroom pizza came out warm (not hot) and the crust was extremely hard. They were probably trying to get all the food out at once, but still.. not an excuse for a fine dining establishment. Lastly, the service was just subpar... Our waiter was nice and pleasant at first, but once we got the menu, he was very pushy with the drinks and kind of made us feel like we were cheap for not ordering anything. So we gave in and ordered. I got a lemonade which he insisted was fresh and not bottled. It was actually minutemaid lemonade which tasted a tad too sour. What a joke! When I complained, the waiter took my drink away to the bar, came back and said "the bartender tasted it and said nothing was wrong with it". So now I'm missing my drink and I still have to pay $50 pesos for something that the staff drank out of? Then he had the audacity to bring back that same drink the bartender sipped from. Did he really expect me to drink from that glass still?! Please, save yourself some money. There are much, much better restaurants in Cancun. Oh, and they already include a 15% gratuity onto the bill, which we were forced to pay. Which I strongly do NOT believe they deserve. Our waiter and kitchen staff definitely needs more training. And I feel really bad for the owner of this restaurant because I understand that he/she is trying to run a business and make money. But what I experienced eating here was not pleasant and it ruined my night. read more

We were in town for vacation! We stayed near by & heard great things about this Italian restaurant on the water! We were greeted and given a wonderful table outside with the open air! The restaurant is in the lagoon and it's just beautiful! We even saw a crocodile!! Our waiter Antonio was very knowledgeable about the menu & wine list! The food is amazing!! We had Caesar salad then different pastas to share between the 3 of us there! Lobster ravioli was on special that night and it was great!! Thank You Antonio & staff!! read more

Had really good italian food after a long time. We tried the stuffed calzone and the fettuccine and both tasted great. The service is also very friendly. Will definitely come back! read more

My family of six and I had an excellent dinner at Limoncello! The menu and food was as genuine as any restaurant I've dined anywhere in Italy. The experience from the valet parking our car, to a warm greeting from the host as we walked in, to our phenomenal waiter, Gerardo, our service and attention to detail could not have been better. Gerardo prepared us a table-side Caesar salad that quite possibly is the best I've tasted in years! Well worth a visit here...it's going to be hard to beat read more

Limoncello - Italian Near Me - Cancún, ROO

Great location with outdoor seating. Try the mozzarella appetizer made table side! Super cool to see and delicious!

Nice restaurant located right on a lagoon in the hotel zone. A little more upscale with very friendly wait staff. Ask for a table by the bridge to sit by the water and maybe even see a crocodile while you eat! The food was pretty good (tasted better than it looked in pictures) but everything could use some salt. If you get "bread for the table" it's more like crispy pita bread.... so that was strange but still yummy. The molten chocolate cake for dessert was AMAZING - highly recommend!! read more

Beautiful restaurant located over at the lagoon in Cancun. The ambience is very nice and the service is great but the quality of their Italian food is subpar. I would not say the food was uneatable but I have had better pasta at Olive Garden for much less. read more

Everything about this place was amazing! The service was incredible, the location was so nice, and the food was so delicious. The servers were so kind, spoke enough English even though we had people who could speak Spanish, and even let me add veggies to a dish instead of meat even when I said just plain with no meat was ok. We were sat outside on the deck next to the water and mid dinner a crocodile, named Lorenzo, swam up and they were feeding him. The food was so delicious and our whole group loved it. Would definitely come back again! read more

Wow best Italian restaurant in Cancun! We come from an Italian family where we make fresh sauce from scratch. This place is the real deal. The food is outstanding. Everything is fresh and homemade just like nonna makes it. The service is outstanding Juan was very helpful. On a plus we got to see a crocodile. The kids were so excited! read more

Amazing pasta with FRESH shrimp, would recommend, a tad spicy so if you don't like spicy, this dish isn't for your. The service was a top notch and the waiters were very very attentive. The drinks are a bit over priced but that is almost everywhere in the area, the food is worth the cost, most meals will be around $15-30 and up depending on what you get. read more

Limoncello was great! One of the best service and food around downtown Cancun. Totally recommended!

This place is a diamond in the rocks in a trashy city. We came here for a wedding weekend with friends and this place was hands down the best food we found nearby. Service was fantastic, food was phenomenal and they even pointed out CROCODILES in the water! Was so cool to see them swimming up when we were enjoying dinner. The seafood place next door looked really good too, but we had to leave the next day so couldn't try it. The salads were amazing as well as the entrees. If you have to come to Cancun, this place is absolutely worth visiting. read more

This was absolutely one of the finest Italian restaurants I have been too. Super yummy food, the staff is amazing especially Carlos , Pedro & Heidi!! I am so happy with my experience here and the dinner was fantastic again!! read more

My wife found this place based on Yelp reviews. The concierge at our hotel, Westin Lagunamar Ocean Resort Villas & Spas, made reservations for us. I came with my wife, sister-in law and her husband. We had: La vera mozzarella capresse - Mozazarella cheese, tomato, basil and extra virgin olive oil. Was delicious. Insalata Caesar - Chopped fresh cos lettuce in our classic and original Caesar dressing prepared table side. We enjoyed. Pollo Parmigiana - Breaded chicken breast topped with homemade tomato sauce and grated mozzarella, served with spaghetti. Sister-in-law enjoyed this dish. Ossobucco di Vitello - Veal shank, oven baked in its own gravy with Barolo wine, tomatoes and herbs, served with fettuccine. I loved veal shank; was able to get some of the marrow out which was delicious. Gnocchi di patate a tuo piacere - Potato dumpling served with your choice of bolognese, gorgonzola or pomodoro sauce. My wife enjoyed the gnocchi. Spaghetti alla bolognese - Spaghetti with bolognese meat sauce and tomato with a touch of cream and meatballs made with pork, chicken and beef. Unfortunately no room for desert this time. The restaurant is located by the water; wonderful and intimate. The service was attentive and efficient, Giraldo was our server and his assistant was helpful and very pleasant. Once you finished a dish all the plates and silverware were cleared and new plates and silverware are set and we didn't have to ask for refills. The food was excellent, everyone agreed this was an amazing meal. If you are looking for an Italian resturant I would definitley recommend. read more

Wow great fresh food and very good prices. The pizza was a special meat with sausage prosuitto and lots of other toppings!The stuffed big meatball was a really unique with bursting flavors. Chicken Marsala with pasta was cooked perfect. Don't miss this opportunity if time during your vacation. Service outstanding. read more

Amazing atmosphere and great food. The parmigiana de melanzane was AMAZING. But really there wasn't a bad item from what we ordered. We had the fried calamari, eggplant parmigiana, chicken parmigiana, and lasagna. Everything was great! read more

Just finished dinner for my last night in Cancun. Biggest complaint was I waited till the last night to try it. By far the best meal I had the whole time here and I ate at all the best places. The others were very good but this place exceeded all of them by far. I own my own Italian restaurant in Chicago and I wish I could take the Chef and the staff home with me. Theystart you out with a homemade bread something you would find in Turkey they have a women right at the entrance making it it takes a couple minutes but worth every second. The pizza was perfect and the Spaghetti bolognese was amazing also. My son was sick and couldn't last long enough to make it for dessert but from what I saw I missed out big time. Next time in Cancun it will be my first stop not last. read more

We had lunch here and was excellent. Perfect service and the food was good and reasonably priced. Special bonus was Lorenzo the the 3 meter crocodile who spends much of his time floating within spitting distance of diners! Probably our best dining experience in Cancun. read more

Love this place!! Awesome location, cocktails are perfection, the lobster, muy bueno!!! Don't miss this place! PS. Save your lobster skeleton and feed it to the passing crocodiles! They devour the leftovers! read more

I got the worst food poisoning I have ever had in my life by far when I went to this restaurant during spring break. The last few days of the trip were defined by the horrendous symptoms from it. It was the nicest restaurant I ate at in Cancun during my 10 day trip but resulted in days of pain and very very unpleasant symptoms. Seafood in a developing country, even at a nice restaurant, is a risky move I won't be taking again. I'll refrain from describing just how bad the symptoms were for your sake, but lord have mercy on you if you get them too. Stockpile Pepto Bismol in advance just in case and stick with chicken. read more

Nice meal. Good service. The crocodile hung out at our table the whole night (be aware that he only ate the steak and ignored the lobster).

OK...my wife and I are kind of food snobs..particularly regarding Italian fare. The bread that came with the meal was amazing...the rest of the meal was just OK. Her gnocchi was nothing special. Less of a pasta dish and more of a potato dish. My ravioli was good but not great. It had a hint of truffle oil which was fine, but otherwise uninspiring. Not a bad meal at all, but not a great meal. I think the reviews were misleading. In fairness, if we were back in the area, I would probably give them another try. read more

Went here for our anniversary and had an superb meal. The service was phenomenal and the staff ensured everything was perfect. Very nice setting and overall a great place to dine. read more

An absolutely lovely Italian restaurant right on the lagoon in Quintana Roo! The food is delicious- excellent quality, fresh seafood, pastas, pizzas, & fresh juices. The prices are very reasonable for the taste and quality; a wonderful experience & above-and-beyond, detail-oriented service. Very close to our resort (Royal Beach) & the ambiance is incredible! Warm glowing lights, cheery and tasteful Christmas decor, and golden lanterns in lemon shapes! Fun fact: there are crocodiles near the lagoon. They will come up near the dock (very secure) and you can see them below! If you are nervous or scared, don't worry - it is very safe & is an exciting experience to see them! read more

Great food and wonderful service. Was the best meal we had in Cancun.

Very good restaurant with excellent views of sunset over the lagoon. Service was wonderful!!! Many vegetarian options available.

Absolutely loved this place. Big surprise! Didn't expect this in Cancun. The service was wonderful, view was beautiful and food delicious. Such a beautiful restaurant too. We loved the tableside caesar salad and brick oven pizza just amazing. read more

Seriously the best authentic pasta, the atmosphere is amazing, the service is spectacular, the food is beyond great. Calamari, Alfredo is to die for best I ever had. I leave today and they open at 1pm I'll be there to eat my Alfredo before I go back home. I just wish they gave a little more pasta since pasta is very cheap. That's why I give a 4 and not 5. read more

Food was very tasty and fresh- we had pizza and spaghetti bolognese which we really enjoyed! The house bread was tasty also and service very friendly- but where in Cancun do you find bad service? Value for money was good (for Cancun!) we spent $100 for a family of 4, 3 cokes and 2 bottles of aqua. Lovely view and the inside is really nicely decorated. read more

We went here twice while in Cancun first night was great service great food and you gotta love their fresh bread. Second one around the service was not good, the waiter was no where to be found we had to ask for everything,from olive oil to balsamic the service was just lacking. I gave it 4 stars as the food we ordered was great I just hate when service is inconsistent. read more

Ambiance - Very cozy and romantic. Great view of the lagoon. We even spotted a crocodile! Service - Pretty good. Food - Pretty spot on if you have a craving. 1. La vera mozzarella caprese - Thick slices of soft mozzarella and tomatoes lightly dressed with basil. Very refreshing and light. 2. Fritto di calamari alla Rino - Chewy and overcooked. The sauce was light and really good though. 3. Spaghetti alla bolognese - A tad too saucy and salty. 4. Fettuccini Alfredo - Drenched in sauce but the pasta was firm and the chicken perfectly cooked. 5. Margherita - Good crust. Light. Very good. 6. Quattro formaggi - A little dry but again, good crust. 7. Pepperoni e mozzarella - Ok. 8. Tiramisú - Awful. Just fell apart, hardly a strong coffee taste. 9. Torta di ricotta fresca - Awful. It wasn't dense at all. Very grainy. 10. Bocconcini di gelato - The cookie disintegrated. It tasted like small scoops of ice cream surrounded by wet dough. 11. Souffle di cioccolato- Definitely the best dessert hands down at the restaurant. read more

Amazing Italian! Everything was great - calamari fritti, salads, housemade bread, ravioli, lasagna, gnocchi, and chic parm. Great atmosphere and pleasant service too! read more
