Hear from our valued guests
I am so lucky I found this beautiful gem! This is my favorite restaurant!! The food is so authentic, fresh, and delicious. The owners make you feel as if you are a part of their family. They are so welcoming, kind, and very generous. The service is absolutely amazing and so fast as well. This is a must try restaurant!
For a cramped strip mall type of place, the food punches above its weight class. Had trout francese which I've never seen before and it was great. Packed place proves the quality and guarantees you're going to wait but when it arrives you'll be happy.
There are Italian restaurants and there is LIMONCELLO. A true gem when it comes to Italian cuisine. Everything over there is perfect. Atmosphere, service, and the food – of course. We have discovered this place by accident and will be visiting it frequently. And one more thing – five stars is not enough to rate this place.
I was told about Limoncello from friends. I order thru delivery and is always perfect. Fresh clams but love the Gondolla fresh salad and dessert. Im ready for more!!! Ciao
Food is always delicious! Service is excellent. One of my favorite place to go.
Delicious food for reasonable prices. We had a table for 15 for a family get together luncheon. The service was excellent.
Excellent Italian food. Met friends there for dinner and our meals were all fantastic. We went during the week so it wasn't very crowded. The waiter brought out a few free appetizers for us to enjoy, and then we got one or two ourselves. The food in the service were very very good. The location is at the end of a strip mall in waldwick so there's only so much atmosphere you can expect, but everything was clean tidy and enjoyable. We have been meaning to try this place for years and I'm kind of sorry now that we didn't try it sooner.
What a gem! The owners are so nice and the waitresses are excellent. The food is just divine and the dessert tray is fabulous. I wish I had them as my personal chefs. There prefix menu is nothing to sneeze at with 3 soups and 3 salad but you only have one choice. The main meal includes a generous portion plus coffee or tea included. Oh, I forgot to tell you, when you first sit down they bring hot bread with olive oil and butter, olives and feta cheese, it's just there way. So nice, so clean, so friendly, so perfect for lunch or dinner but call to make a reservation.
very well served. Nice Italian cozy place. Shared appetizer stuff and dinner. they were so nice, treated us with respect. We ordered a dessert to finish the excellent meal. Liquor store next door. Went out to eat on a Wed.
We came for the daily lunch specials and we're pleasantly surprised by the quality and large portion sizes. We had egg plant rotini and veal marsala. Both were well made and nicely presented. Appetizers were crisp Caesar Salads. Also placed on the table were a warm bread basket and olives with cheese.
