“Went here for my mom's 70 bday, what a beauitful place. Look like a fairy restraunt, very warm and welcoming. The food was excellent, service was too. Will be going back shortly.”
“From the beginning to the finish simply fantastic. The host, the bar staff and wait staff were top tier and were more than accommodating for our group of 6. The drinks were well made, the salads came out relatively quick. It was Valentines day and bit later in night so we won't hold the being out of some specials against them, but it forced me to step outside the box a bit. However I am glad I did because the pork osso buco was fantastic, the pork was tender fall off the bone, and quite a large portion. We left with leftovers and too full to try dessert but it will warrant a return visit.”
“I had such a wonderful night out at Lemoncello. We were first brought to the add on room which in the past, I always seem to be seated in. We kindly asked to be changed to the regular dining room and they accommodated to a very nice table with an adorable mood light where you could change the light settings. This change of the setting made us so happy as I respond highly to atmosphere. The decor was very nice, with white table clothes. each course out slowly and separately brought out with good space in between to enjoy. We did not feel rushed and the waitress came by several times to check when we were ready to order and check on each course. We sipped our drink for 30 minutes before we ordered- apple martini and a beer for my man. We started with a lovely bread loaf followed by a large portion of artichoke french to share. We then shared a nice salad followed by a shared meal of borselli with Cheese filled purses with aglio e olio, white wine, artichokes, arugula and grape tomatoes. there was a side round with parmesan, red pepper and cracked salt and pepper to self serve. I love this since there was no limit to the parmesan. The waitress was very kind and accommodating brining an extra bowl to split the salad and pre-splitting the main course for us. I can see why the restaurant was so crowded. We had originally gone because there was music at 6pm, but this could not be heard as it was at the end of the bar which was so crowded, the music could not be heard from anywhere. Our seating was thankfully not in the bar and while it was somewhat noisy it felt calm and romantic. We skipped dessert since we had dessert at home ( a shared piece of key lime pie and baby cannoli dipped with chocolate shavings on the ends). We will most definitely return!”
“We love the atmosphere at Lemoncello. The waiststaff is always wonderful, friendly, and accommodating. We had a table of 8 and had a lot of requests which our server never once made us feel bad about. Everyone who came to our table was superb. The food was mediocre, though! Tough chicken and veal cutlets, and the pizza was overcooked with one being black on the crust of three pieces and on the entire bottom. We ordered two different pizzas that tasted no different from each other. We love the location and the atmosphere of this place. We've always had impeccable service. I just think that the food is really average - not terrible, but definitely underwhelming for what is charged.”
“I had one of the specials of the evening which was spinach risotto with pan seared scallops and fried prawns. Topped with roasted red pepper sauce and broccoli rabe. I wasn't a fan of the risotto, it was kind of chunky in texture. I also wasn't impressed by the flavor profile of the risotto, it kind of had a bitter taste. I did enjoy the prawns and the scallops were cooked and seasoned to perfection. My bestie enjoyed her chicken french. Our other friend ordered the chicken parmesan. The pasta sauce was bland and basically tasted like can tomato sauce. The chicken of the was sour as of it was marinated in lemon juice. She wasn't pleased and sent the meal back and requested a lasagna to take home instead which ended up seasoning once she got home. I'll give this restaurant another chance and order something else next time.”
