    The small round tables for two are just way to small. The large serving plates almost hit the floor more than once. The food is very good. The noise level is high, if you have trouble hearing it could be an issue. Mostly, don't accept a round table.

    Excellent food! Very busy because of the Christmas fair in La Mesa. The restaurant was packed and loud because of it, but we will definitely be back. Everything was prepared perfectly. Five stars!!!

    We have been to Limoncello a couple of times and both time the food was consistently great and the service impeccable. Both Maria and Roberto were our servers each time and both made our dining experience wonderful.

    Our waiter was great and the Spaghetti Nero was very good, but the pappardelle dish was a fail even though it had potential to be a great dish. The pappardelle was too thin and turned out very very mushy unfortunately which is a no no when it comes to pasta - especially at what’s supposed to be a legit Italian restaurant that should know better than to serve mushy pasta noodles.
