Raisa S.

Limoncello arrives burdened by its own mythology. On social media, it is framed as a transportive experience--sun-washed Amalfi charm, polished plates, and a kind of effortless Italian sophistication that feels curated for the camera. In person, the illusion thins quickly. A reservation had been secured for an indoor table, yet the initial interaction was marked by a persistent attempt to redirect us outside. The suggestion, repeated with quiet insistence, set an early tone: service that felt less like guidance and more like gentle negotiation. We obliged briefly, until rain forced the obvious correction. Even then, the transition indoors felt less than seamless, as though accommodating a basic request required recalibration. Inside, the dining room resists the fantasy it advertises. Where one expects cohesion--light, texture, a sense of place--there is instead a disjointed atmosphere. The décor leans rustic, but without the intimacy or intentionality that makes rusticity appealing. More striking, however, was an intrusive, chemical-leaning odor--sharp enough to register immediately, ambiguous enough to unsettle. Whether the result of cleaning agents or something less benign, it lingered in a way no restaurant can afford. The evening took a more concerning turn at a neighboring table, where multiple diners sent back a lobster dish, citing an unmistakably off smell. A replacement was issued, only to be met with the same complaint. The table, visibly unsettled, opted to abandon the dish altogether. It is difficult to overstate how much an incident like this reverberates across a room; appetite, once compromised, rarely recovers.Against that backdrop, the meal unfolded with diminishing optimism. The pear salad arrived composed but underdeveloped--its sweetness untempered, its balance unresolved. It gestured toward refinement without achieving it. The margherita pizza, often a reliable barometer of a kitchen's discipline, fell short: a slack crust, muted tomato, and mozzarella that failed to assert freshness or depth. The fettuccine with mushrooms leaned heavily on richness without complexity, the sauce coating rather than integrating, the mushrooms contributing little beyond texture. There is, at Limoncello, an evident ambition--to align itself with a certain tier of dining, to meet the expectations of a clientele drawn as much by reputation as by cuisine. But ambition, here, outpaces execution. The disconnect between image and experience is not subtle; it defines the visit. Perhaps this was an off night. Restaurants, like all institutions, have them. But consistency is the currency of credibility, and on this occasion, Limoncello spent freely without replenishment. For a place so buoyed by curated perception, the reality feels notably, and unfortunately, less convincing.

This place looked so cute with the lemon theme, I love lemon theme so had to check it out! It has indoor/outdoor, indoor was super cute but we decided to sit outdoor. The staff is super friendly and kind. When I received my pasta fettuccine I was a little disappointed at appearance, it didn't look that appealing but it actually was super tasty!!! I was impressed. My husband got the chicken parm and the spaghetti packed good flavor! The portion sizes were good.

Stopped around 12:30 on a Friday. Place was empty but staff is friendly. Good food, nothing extraordinary. Fresh taste and clean environment.

Found the cutest Italian place on Miami Beach this past week, and also the best meal of the week! Right on Washington Avenue, you get the sense of Italy when sitting on the sidewalk for dinner and be surrounded by cute lemon decor. Even though it was a tad warm this night, the fan provided plenty of air to allow us to enjoy ourselves. We started out with some delicious Limoncello Drop martinis. The perfect sweetness with a garnish was a great round with our appetizers of burrata and calamari. The burrata was cold and creamy and paired well with the prosciutto. The calamari was hot and crispy. For mains, my friends had wine while I went for the Limoncello Mojito, I mean I was in Miami only seemed right! Our pasta dishes and seafood dish were served with a great portion and were hot. I loved how mine was served in a pan! Servers and hostess were friendly and drinks and food served quickly. My only complaint would be is on my reservation I asked for a table inside but we were seated outside. Not sure the miscommunication there but it ended up being ok. Highly recommend this cute gem for a nice Miami Beach meal.

Excellent service and ambience. Food is simple but well done. They could improve on the presentation and the down note goes to their tiramisu.

Raeann V.

This place is so cute! They do offer amble inside seating as well as outdoor seating. The free bread? Out of this world. The pasta plates? Honestly, some of the best we've had--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The drinks hit the spot and paired beautifully with the meal. On top of all that, the staff was friendly, upbeat, and genuinely fun to interact with. Their energy made our dining experience even better. Of all the places we visited during our trip, Limoncello easily earned a spot in our top 3. We'll be thinking about those pasta plates for a long time.

Melanie L.

Great Italian spot! The pastas were delicious. The seafood pasta was very good and so was the cacio e pepe with the steak dish! They have indoor and outdoor seating available; service was good. They have nice wines to choose from and good menu with pizza and such. I would come back again and order the same thing from how delicious it was. If you plan to sit outside, make sure it's closer to evening time, it can get hot!

I was really looking forward to try Limoncello, but was so disappointed when the food did not match the high ratings. All the dishes were mediocre. Be careful with the scan payment, there is an extra charge. The decor is very cute and cozy, the service is friendly.

This is a tough review to write as the food here is TRULY top notch. However, everything else needs a lot of help. We had a reservation and even though it was raining, they tried to seat us outside because come to find out, there is not nearly enough space inside this spot. We sat down and were immediately cramped, as servers were trying to walk behind us the entire time with roughly a foot of space to do so. Additionally, with the rain and humidity they seemed to be having a ceiling issues, where all their vents were dripping including on customers and their food. We started with a bottle of wine, calamari, meatballs and a pizza (which again, were all incredible). We were feeling like the server wanted to rush us even though we were a big party and continually ordering food and drinks. Then, while waiting for our meals one of the servers tripped in one of the many puddles of water from the leaking ceiling and fell and dropped all the food she was carrying. In this process my mom and dad were covered in red sauce. We asked the waitress if she was okay and she said yes, but no one came to check on my family who was now uncomfortably sitting in food. In the chaos, it felt like our server then wanted nothing to do with us, as I think he didn't know how to handle the fiasco. Our food finally arrives, and sadly was extremely tasty but at this point we all just want to leave as the vibes have been completely ruined. When we finally ask for our check the server doesn't offer anything for the inconvenience. My dad asked to speak with a manager, who wasn't even aware of the disaster. My dad explained if someone would have just come up to us and asked if we were okay and if there was anything they could do we would have felt much better about the situation as it was an accident. The manager then offered us a discount on the bill and apologized which was a bit of a consolation. If you are looking for Italian food in the area though, I have to believe there are better options.

This is a relatively premier Italian restaurant with a brilliant vibe and jam packed into the late night. This is a place to go when you're tired of spring-breaky sorority food on plastic menus. The tattooed sprightly waiter from Naples was authentic good, though couldn't talk me into the $150 bottle of red. The staff here were terribly busy but total pros and made sure everyone everywhere, sitting or waiting, was getting what they needed. It's great fun with a lemon scent and a relief to be not on main drag.

Just stopped here cause the decor was so cute and full of lemons, who wouldn't be enticed? Our pastas were perfectly cooked, el dente, flavor well balanced and not heavy like most Italian restaurants. The wood over fired pizza was delicious with thin crust and fresh tasting ingredients. Calamari was crunchy outside, soft inside, and light despite being fried. Service was quick and friendly, probably helped that we were one of 3 other party on prime week day lunch hours. Would definitely come back again if I'm in the area!

Staying in Miami Beach for a long weekend and love Limoncello the drink so that factored into our decision to have dinner here. Starting out, Salvatore our waiter, was AMAZING (in capital letters for a reason). We started with limoncello shots and some sautéed mussels. Had cocktails and the four of us had, spaghetti alle vongole, rigatoni carbonara, lobster ravioli and cacio e pepe. Each was amazing and so tasty. For dessert we had the cannoli and their special lemon and almond cake. Personally I preferred the lemon cake but I love all things lemon. We enjoyed the experience so much that we went back for lunch the next day for more limoncello and a Margherita pizza. Definitely recommend.

We (group of 4) had reservations at 6pm on a Monday night but had no trouble getting seated earlier. We decided to sit outside and when it was cooler they brought out the heat lamps. We shared two appetizers - Polpette meatballs: absolutely delicious! The meatballs were very well flavored and the sauce was a great accompaniment that we used the focaccia to take the last bit - Sautéed mussels: though well cooked, these were a bit bland. I wouldn't get these again On to the entrees - pappardelle funghi e tartufo: after adding parmigian cheese to increase the saltiness, this was amazing. The mushroom flavor and the cream was very well balanced. - chicken parmigiana and spaghetti: very well done. The chicken was crispy but tender and the spaghetti sauce was delicious - linguine al frutti di mare (senza pomodoro): my SIL is a bit picky about tomatoes and requested to removed them from the dish. It resulted in a bland sauce. The seafood was well cooked and had good texture though it lacked flavor -cacio e Pepe with shaved truffle: this lived up to what my brother and cousin saw on Instagram, which is why we came here. They didn't prepare it in front of him, which makes sense as it was a windy evening and we were told they generally don't do that anymore. He loved it. We all got a bite and agree it was very good. For dessert, we shared the Nutella cheesecake. It was a light cheesecake that had Nutella drizzled over it with some pistachios. A "light" dessert was a great ending to the meal. This isn't New York style but after all the carbs and cream, we were all ok with that! The hostesses were very nice. Our waiter, Ryan was funny and fun. It was a great experience overall. Hope to get back there at some point!

TOURIST BEWARE!! This place is a tourist trap. They will add 20% gratuity, but later come back asking for an additional 20% 25% or 30%, hoping that you did not see the initial 20% added. Sure, there are times where exceptional service deserves above 20%, but in this case, this is a deceptive practice that I myself have fallen for in the past. IF YOU LIKE HONEST SERVICE, DONT COME HERE. read more

Slightly disrespectful to call this an Italian restaurant. Bread was stale & the chicken & the beef on mine and my girlfriend's pasta was served way too crusty. The bread was the worst part. It was just old. Just a little disappointed considering I spent like 80 bucks here. Pretty solid service though. Pretty common for Italian restaurants to serve low quality food since it's pretty easy to make half decent. This is just your average take on an Italian spot. read more

You can't argue that Limoncello is brimming with coziness and charm. Nor can you argue that the food is very good, though a bit expensive (par for the course in Miami Beach, I suppose). Where it loses me is in service. My waiter was perhaps the worst I have ever experienced, and I've had my fair share of waiters. I would mention his name, except he never introduced himself. I'm not sure what the specials were, either, since he never told me. I had to listen to one of the other waiters, who was clearly delighting his clients with conversation, share the specials and go through the menu literally item-by-item. Interestingly, my waiter seemed a little friendlier with his other tables. Maybe he just didn't like my face. The cherry on the cake was the automatic 20% gratuity that was included in the bill. read more

Limoncello delivers a genuine taste of Italy in a cozy, bustling trattoria setting. Their homemade pappardelle al ragù was the star--rich, slow-cooked, and perfectly al dente. The tiramisu (made in-house) also deserves applause--creamy but not overly sweet. read more

I truly enjoyed Limoncello! It was so pleasurable to be there because you felt like you were actually in Italy. The whole staff was polite and so nice, even the owners greet you! But besides all that, the food was incredible! Everything we had was delicious, from the focaccia to start to the tiramisu for dessert! For dinner we started with burrata for an app and it was so fresh and the tomatoes and arugula gave it the perfect touch. My friend and I both got pasta as our entrees and they were AMAZING! Both are must tries, the cacio e pepe and the rigatoni carbonara. They were both exceptional and I would love some for dinner tonight again. Our tiramisu for dessert has been one of my faves ever because it was like more of a pudding consistency. I had never had it like that and I LOVED it! I cannot wait to go back to Limoncello and try more things out. It was such a nice experience! read more

Nobody should have ordered the pizza from here not even if it's $12 not even if it's free it's the worst pizza I ever had and on top of a very very rude customer service that I have never experienced. Thank God DoorDash at least listen to me and heard my complaint and gave me a full refund and told these people shame on you for being nasty.

My new favorite restaurant on Miami Beach!!! The service, the patio, the food are all reasons I will be returning. We sat out on the patio for a lovely evening dining experience. We were lucky and had Ryan as our server. He went above and beyond to make our dining experience not only enjoyable but memorable. We loved our Aperol and Limoncello Spritz drinks, decided to each order a Pasta dish. I had the Bucatini Cacio E Pepe, and we ordered the Papperdelle funghi and tartufo. Both dishes featured homemade pasta noodles and endless flavor. Not to mention the Homemade Italian Focaccia bread that comes with the meal. . I will definitely be back here next time I am in town and will absolutely request to have Ryan as our server. What a 5 star place! read more

Came here for Valentine's Dinner and we had a great experience. I'm just surprised that I haven't been here before because this place is so cute! We started with the Burrata and the Pulpo and both were scrumptious. Burrata was very fresh and the pulpo was perfectly cooked. Good portion too. For the main courses, I had the Linguine Allo Scoglio, and let me tell ya, it was great. The lobster claw was a nice touch and it was full of fresh seafood like mussels and squid. My dinner date Jojo ordered the Pappardelle Funghi E Tartufo and it was full of flavor. The sauce was on point! I couldn't help taking a bite out of her plate. Also, the cocktails and wine were fabulous. I recommend the Passione which is made with vodka, passion fruit, and prosecco. As far as wines, just ask either Alex or Marco for suggestions to pair with your meal. They're experts! Loved our visit here. Outstanding service and exceptional food.

Really wanted to check this place out after seeing so many 5 star reviews, which is rare for a Miami Beach restaurant. The service was great. The entire staff and owner were incredibly warm, welcoming and talkative. At times a bit too talkative... But I'd certainly take that over the other extreme. The food however was a bit disappointing and didn't leave up to the hype. It should be mentioned however that I did not order anything extraordinary. Perhaps if I had stuck with a pasta dish I would have enjoyed my meal more. In any case my dinner consisted of the fried shrimp and calamari, pear salad, and pepperoni pizza. The calamari was good. Pretty standard I think at most restaurants. Nothing out of the ordinary in terms of taste and preparation. The pear/walnut salad was not as expected. Something with the taste was off. Would not order again. The pizza was also blah. Nothing special. Dough was somewhat soggy. The food overall is really more 3 star level but bumped the overall review up to 4 based on the service and the table/ house bread which was unusually good in comparison to other restaurants. Wanted to write a real unbiased review so others know what to actually expect. I believe the majority of 5 star ratings are attributed to the bubbly nature of the wait staff vs the actual food. read more

Let's see, parking was the bummer- but that's just Miami Beach. I chose the wrong time to go - During the Food & Wine festival. So just keep an eye on events so that is not so crazy with traffic and parking. But they have near by parking garages and street parking. Service was exceptional, actual Italians with a very good attitude. Very nice and friendly staff. From the moment we arrived for our reservation, to getting a table where we would feel comfortable, to walking me to the restroom, checking on us. Accommodating our wishes which were not part of the menu. One cannot say a bad thing about service here. The food, mmmh it tasted like a meal your Italian aunt made. Pasta is homemade, and it was delicious. Nice and soft. Sauce was yammy. I had the lasagna and my husband had the fried chicken piccata with spaghetti. Very good! We started with the calamari and their house bread. Calamari was good. The bread was very oily and a bit burned, but not bad! The ambiance was entertaining in a very relaxed way. I mean you are sitting in Miami Beach, so you get to watch the different crowds drive and walk by. But at the same time, they have Italian music playing and it decorated in such a way that even though you are practically on the street. You are still in a special place. A little "hidden" Italian restaurant that feels homie. read more

We were so excited to check out this spot after reading so many reviews about it but we were disappointed with the food. We came around 12:30 PM and it was pretty empty during a holiday weekend which should have been the red flag. I ordered the lobster ravioli and my date ordered the mushroom pasta dish. Both dishes were nothing to rave about. The complimentary bread was the best part of the meal. read more

If you're in Miami and enjoy Italian food, I highly recommend Limoncello. The staff are friendly and always have great recommendations. Sit indoors or out...we chose to sit outside which was quite nice. We started off the night with Calamari which was lightly breaded perfect chew. My Cacio e Pepe was fantastic. Perfectly Al dente noodles and I chose to add chicken. Everything we ate was great. Don't expect a quick meal though, in typical European fashion we were there for a good couple hours. We enjoyed everything. Prices were not terrible and it was a fun experience. read more

Most places in SoBe suck when it comes to service and you wish the staff was any other way. Here at Limoncello the staff blows us away in all the most amazing ways. They're attentive, knowledgeable, patient, dedicated, and go above and beyond for their guests. We had one of the most amazing dinner experiences in SoBe ever. The food was phenomenal with tons of truffles available, fresh seafood dishes cooked to perfection, and drinks that really made us happy. read more

It was a bakery for many, many years, even after I left Miami Beach, when I'd come visit, I made sure to get a pastelito de carne with an orange juice and then one day; the bakery was gone and Pane e Vino was here in its place. As illogical as it may be, I held resentment towards Pane e Vino because of this. I'd grumble and scowl when I'd walk by until one day I saw a man making fresh pasta at the window. Yes, this piqued my interest. I then looked at the menu, and I saw a lot of wonderful variety, but mostly that their pasta is made fresh so it occurred to me that in this instance perhaps one legendary establishment can become another one in this place, and I decided I needed to give this restaurant a chance. I have some friends who join me often when I go to Miami Beach and so we ordered a bunch of dishes to share. I'm really glad we had our waitress Pilar steer us in the right direction. I love truffle anything and she highly recommended the truffle arancini. I'm soooo glad we got it, and that was probably one of my favorite things to eat ever. I have never had such creamy polenta in my life. the truffle and cheese in this was enough to almost bring me to tears. This is how great food is done. Even the salad and the simple dressing was amazing, really fresh and delicious. We tried three different pasta dishes, but my favorite without a doubt was the lamb ragu. This dish was everything. The lamb was so tender and flavorful. You know that lamb will sometimes have a gamey flavor? Not this dish. My second favorite pasta dish was the truffle ravioli. It's not like a truffle infused oil or salt they used, its actual shaved truffle, so delicious. The bread, the good quality olive oil, everything was fantastic. Even though my beloved bakery belongs to the past; in its place is now another magnificent establishment that I will look forward to visiting whenever I'm in Miami Beach.

While visiting Miami Beach, I had one goal: eat at least one restaurant recognized by the Michelin…read moreGuide. After dinner at Macchialina, I can confidently say I chose wisely. Italian restaurants often talk about simplicity, tradition, and technique. Macchialina backs up those claims with execution. You can certainly order à la carte, but I would strongly encourage first-time visitors to consider the chef's tasting menu. At $75 before wine pairings, it feels almost suspiciously underpriced. By the end of the meal, I wasn't wondering whether it was worth the money. I was wondering how they weren't charging more. The first course arrived as a trio. Creamy polenta with mushrooms, onions, and chives, broccoli rabe topped with toasted breadcrumbs and a soft-boiled egg, and a savory pastry filled with sliced pork and a rich sauce. All three were excellent, but the polenta was the dish that immediately demanded attention. I've had a lot of polenta over the years. Very little of it has approached this texture. It was impossibly smooth, somewhere between polenta and a luxurious puree. Combined with the mushrooms and broth, it delivered a deep, earthy blast of umami that lingered long after the bowl was empty. The second course showcased three pasta dishes. Macchialina's signature cavatelli with veal meatballs, porchetta, and pecorino, agnolotti stuffed with ricotta in brown butter sauce, and a classic cacio e pepe. Choosing a favorite felt unfair. The cavatelli delivered hearty comfort and deeply savory flavors, thanks in large part to the tender veal meatballs. The agnolotti burst with creamy ricotta filling in every bite. The cacio e pepe served as a reminder that great ingredients and proper technique rarely need embellishment. For the third course, a veal Milanese arrived perfectly fried and topped with arugula, concentrated tomatoes, and Parmigiano Reggiano. A grilled lemon accompanied the plate for a final squeeze of brightness. Halfway through the dish, I found myself thinking a touch of balsamic might improve things. Then I caught one of the concentrated tomatoes in a bite and immediately abandoned that thought. The tomatoes provided exactly the acidity and sweetness the dish needed. Nothing more was required. Dessert sealed the deal. Bread pudding made from Sullivan Street brioche, banana, hazelnut crumble, and bitter chocolate. It was paired with vanilla ice cream, and drizzled with caramel sauce. It was rich without becoming heavy, sweet without becoming cloying. The slight bitterness from the chocolate kept everything balanced. It ranks among the best bread puddings I've eaten. Technically, the tasting menu is four courses. In reality, it delivers eight thoughtfully prepared dishes that showcase the kitchen's range, creativity, and restraint. For diners curious about tasting menus but hesitant to jump into a multi-hundred-dollar fine dining experience, Macchialina offers one of the best entry points I've encountered. It feels approachable, generous, and remarkably polished. Some tasting menus leave you impressed. The best ones leave you planning your next visit before you've even paid the check. Macchialina belongs firmly in the second category.

"Limoncello is a gem of a restaurant that captures the essence of Italian dining with a modern twist. From the moment we stepped inside, we were enchanted by the vibrant, yet cozy ambiance. The decor has a fresh, Mediterranean feel, with bright colors and tasteful touches that make you feel like you've been transported to the Amalfi Coast. We started with their signature Limoncello Spritz, which was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy--refreshing and just what we needed to kick off the evening. For dinner, I ordered the Lobster Ravioli, and it was an absolute delight. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the lobster filling was rich and flavorful, complemented beautifully by the creamy saffron sauce. My partner chose the Veal Marsala, and the veal was tender, with a sauce that was full of depth and character. One of the highlights was the Limoncello Tiramisu for dessert--a creative twist on the classic that was light, airy, and had just the right hint of citrus. The service throughout our meal was impeccable; our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. Limoncello has quickly become one of my favorite spots for a special night out. Whether you're there for a romantic dinner or a gathering with friends, it's the kind of place that leaves you smiling long after the meal is over. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine with a touch of innovation." read more

"Limoncello is an absolute treasure for anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine. I recently dined there with some friends, and the experience was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home. The decor has a charming, rustic vibe, with just the right amount of elegance to make it perfect for both a casual night out or a special occasion. The menu at Limoncello is filled with classic Italian dishes that are crafted with care and attention to detail. I started with the Burrata appetizer, which was creamy and fresh, served with perfectly ripe tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil. For the main course, I couldn't resist the Fettuccine Alfredo, and it was absolutely divine--the pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was rich and velvety without being overpowering. My friends ordered the Osso Buco and the Margherita Pizza, and they were both thrilled with their choices. The Osso Buco was tender and flavorful, falling off the bone, and the pizza had a crisp crust with just the right amount of toppings. What really made the evening special was the outstanding service. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, offering great recommendations and ensuring that our glasses were never empty. We ended the meal with their signature Limoncello dessert, which was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, a refreshing way to finish off a rich meal. read more

Last month, I had the pleasure of celebrating a friend's birthday at Limoncello, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. This great Italian restaurant offers authentic Italian cuisine that truly delivers on flavor and quality. The service was outstanding--our servers were attentive, friendly, and made the evening even more enjoyable. The drinks were equally impressive! We tried the espresso martini with tequila, and it was absolutely delicious--a unique twist that I'll be dreaming about for a while. The food was incredible--creamy, flavorful, and authentically Italian. The portion sizes were just right, leaving us satisfied without being overly full. We were so caught up in the celebration that I didn't get any pictures of the food--sorry! We were fully in the moment enjoying ourselves. We chose to sit outside on the sidewalk patio, which added to the charm of the experience. The vibe felt like being in a quaint Italian street corner, perfect for an evening with friends. While I didn't notice much about parking since we opted to Uber, the area Miami Beach, where most people tend to Uber or walk. There may be some street parking available, but plan accordingly. Overall, I'd give Limoncello a solid 5/5! If you're looking for authentic Italian food, excellent service, and yummy drinks in a charming atmosphere, this is the place to be. Highly recommend! read more

I had a wonderful dining experience! The ambiance was gorgeous, with a vibrant vibe that made the evening feel special, especially with the owner's delightful singing and dancing. Think Mama Mia in Live Action. The only thing to take into consideration was the seating--it's a bit tight inside, but there is outdoor seating available, which is a nice option. Now, onto the food! We started with the Linguine Scoglio, which was packed with fresh seafood and bursting with flavor. All the seafood was cooked perfectly and they opened up the claw and pulled out the lobster meat " chefs kiss " The Pappardelle Funghi with truffle was so good I could have licked the plate clean! While the tiger shrimp was tasty, I wouldn't order it again as I felt it was pretty expensive and I would rather get something better at the same price. The service was exceptional. The staff, including the owner, were incredibly friendly and accommodating. As a lovely surprise, they treated us to their amazing tiramisu, which was light and perfectly sweet. Just a tip: they already add a service charge, so keep that in mind when tipping. Overall, I highly recommend this spot for a fun evening filled with fantastic food and great vibes! It's also a great option for a date night but doesn't offer much privacy. read more

Nestled in the heart of Miami, Limoncello Italian Restaurant is a vibrant slice of Italy that delights all the senses. From the moment you step inside, the warm, inviting ambiance wraps you in rustic charm--think soft lighting, earthy tones, and the gentle hum of laughter and conversation. The staff greets you like an old friend, offering attentive yet unobtrusive service that makes every visit feel special. The menu is a love letter to authentic Italian cuisine, crafted with care and the freshest ingredients. Standouts include the handmade tagliatelle, tossed in a rich, slow-simmered Bolognese sauce that melts on the tongue, and the succulent osso buco, braised to perfection with aromatic herbs. Even the simplest dishes, like the Caprese salad, shine with ripe heirloom tomatoes and creamy mozzarella drizzled in house-made basil oil. Don't skip the cocktails--their signature limoncello spritz, bright and zesty, is the perfect companion to any meal. Save room for dessert, too; the tiramisu is a cloud of espresso-kissed mascarpone that's nothing short of heavenly. Whether it's a romantic dinner, a family celebration, or a solo treat, Limoncello captures the soul of Italy with every bite. A true Miami gem that leaves you already planning your next visit read more

Hey Fabrizio, I just had to drop you a quick note to say a massive thank you for the amazing time I had at Limoncello in South Beach Miami. Seriously, it was an experience I won't forget anytime soon. First off, your service was top-notch. You made me feel like a VIP from the moment I walked in, and that kind of hospitality is hard to come by these days. Big kudos to you and your team for that! And let's talk about the food - wow! Every dish was a flavor explosion, and I couldn't get enough. It's obvious you guys put a ton of love and care into your cooking, and it absolutely paid off. I'm still dreaming about that meal! But you know what really made the night special? Getting to chat with you and hear your story. Moving from San Diego to Miami is no small feat, and it was fascinating to hear about your journey. You've got such a cool vibe, man. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks again for such an incredible evening. Limoncello is definitely my new favorite spot in South Beach, and I'll be spreading the word to all my friends. Can't wait to come back for more! Cheers, Daniel read more

First time here and absolutely loved it! I ordered the octopus and calamari as my apps. The grilled octopus was cooked perfectly! The potato and leek sauce complimented the Octopus very well. The calamari was also divine! It wasn't chewy and it wasn't soggy. Fried perfectly and it was very flavorful! It's rare to find a good calamari dish in miami. For my main dish I ordered the special which was a strip steak topped with arugula, shaved Parmesan and sliced cherry tomatoes. It also came with a delicious side of Cacio e Pepe. So good!!!! Wow! My friend got the seafood pasta special. It came with a whole lobster claw, mussels, and grilled calamari in a lobster reduction sauce. It was spectacular! This place is super new to miami and I'm so thankful I stopped by! I definitely will be coming back :) Favorite Italian spot in south beach !! Super friendly staff Reasonable prices Amazing food Great service read more

I absolutely adore this place! I've been there a few times now, and each visit has been wonderful. The service is consistently good, with the staff being both friendly and very attentive. The food is always fresh, and the pasta has a perfect texture. The sauces are flavorful and complement the dishes beautifully. Portion sizes are generous without being overwhelming, making for a satisfying meal (or in my case, 2)! The atmosphere is on theme, with charming decor that gives off a true Italian vibe. The lemon-themed touches throughout the space really take me back to Capri, adding a special touch to the experience. Dining outside in the evening is especially lovely, offering a peaceful and enjoyable setting. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a special night out, this place never disappoints. It's clear they take pride in every detail, from the food to the ambiance. read more

We dropped by Miami for a quick 2 day vacation. We arrived a little later at night and decided to go to his restaurant as they were close to our hotel. Ambience 5/5: as my wife says, cute restaurant and romantic ambience with romantic songs Service: 5/5 they customer service was excellent. Attention to detail and promptness Food: for the app, we got the buratta. It was the best buratta I have had in the US!! For main cou my wife got the branzino and I got the chicken Parm. The branzino was 5/5. The experience is also amazing (see video). Chicken parm I would rate 4/5. The chicken it self was slightly overdone but the spaghetti it came with was mind blowing! Would I come here again: absolutely - they ended our night with complimentary shots of limoncello. We will be returning here again without a doubt. It's a slice of Italy in Miami! read more

Limoncello has quickly become my favorite Italian restaurant in Miami Beach. It's everything I love in a dining experience--warm, welcoming staff, a relaxed atmosphere, and absolutely delicious food that speaks for itself. I've tried a few different dishes here, but the Cacio e Pepe and the Polpette meatballs are standouts. Simple, flavorful, and made with care--just the way Italian food should be. Their pasta is always perfectly cooked, the sauces are rich without being heavy, and the portions are generous. I also really appreciated the thoughtful wine recommendations from our server. There's no pretension here--just great food, good vibes, and that feeling like you're having dinner at your Italian cousin's home. Whether it's a casual dinner or a special night out, this is the place I keep coming back to. Highly recommend! read more

Happened upon this place by accident. The decor is so cute you are drawn to it. When you walk in you are welcomed by wonderful Staff and the owner. We had the daily special which was homemade pasta and ribeye steak. I never order steak out because I am not the biggest fan but it sounded good so we tried it. Let me tell you, it melted in your mouth. They brought out the steak along with the pasta and proceeded to toss the pasta in the parmesan cheese wheel. I cannot begin to tell you how delicious this was. If you are ever in South Beach, you need to eat here. You will not be disappointed. read more

During my recent trip to Miami with my husband and kids, I'm thrilled to have stumbled upon this wonderful spot in the city. The ambiance was so vibrant and uplifting that it felt like we were transported straight to Italy. Our waiter, regrettably, I've forgotten his name, but he hailed from Naples, was absolutely fantastic--so cheerful and attentive. He was especially warm towards the kids, which is a trait typical of Italians. The food was tasty and delicious! We were all absolutely delighted with our experience. I highly recommend paying it a visit! A must in Miami!!! read more

I was extremely excited that I discovered such a wonderful location in Miami while my recent trip there with my spouse and children. The atmosphere was so lively and positive that it seemed as though we had been flown directly to Italy. Unfortunately, I cannot recall his full name, but our server originated from Naples, and the guy was very kind and helpful. He was particularly kind to the children, which is common to Italians. The cuisine was excellent as well as spicy! We were all utterly thrilled with the events we had heard. I highly encourage people to visit it! read more

Had dinner with my wife, son, sister, & her husband. We all very much enjoyed our meal which included the Buratta appetizer with prosciutto, Bronzino, steak special, chicken Parmesan, and lasagna. The food was outstanding and the service staff which included the owner was very friendly and attentive. I debated getting the tiramisu for dessert and decided to pass, however was surprised when they brought one to the table as well as a lemon cello shot for each of us at the table. All gratis and some thing I would return to the restaurant to gladly order again. read more

Incredible! Wonderful service and stylish, welcoming servers, especially Alessandro from Argentina. The owner was fantastic - lit a fish on fire and filleted it before my eyes! Very traditional Italian food - takes me back to another lifetime on the streets of Bologna... For dessert, the cannoli and tiramisu are a MUST. Don't forget to cleanse your palette with a swig of complimentary limoncello (and bring a lactaid if you have tummy issues!). Great people watching spot; you never know what you'll see! If I lived here, I'd be a regular. read more

**Limoncello Review - South Beach** Limoncello is a charming, small brick oven restaurant near Española Way, perfect for a cozy meal. Their pizzas, especially the Prosciutto pizza, are fantastic--crispy, fresh, and cooked to perfection. The menu offers a good variety, with seafood as another standout. However, the only downside is an unusual musty smell, likely due to the building's age, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite this, Limoncello is a great spot for delicious food in a welcoming atmosphere. read more
