    The steaks are inconsistent. We are also disappointed that the cowboy ribeye is not an option any longer . The ribeye we had was lacking in flavor compared to others we have had there. We had a nice 2 top on the bar side against wall and was the ONLY table seated along the entire wall and 4 top was seated right next to us but with their back facing the side of our table. It was extremely intrusive into our space as the man’s chair was practically touching our table and we had to sit and hear their entire conversation , nor could we have a conversation. So we quickly ate our food and left. We come a lot in the off season but not sure if we will go back much due to the inconsistency.

    Arrived at 5:00 to participate in happy hour, but that was only at the bar, which is open and adjacent to the dining room. We wanted dinner, so no happy hour prices for us. (No warning from the tee-shirted host). Grilled octopus was tender and nicely charred. Veal Marsala was very good, as was the eggplant parmigiana. Asparagus/arugula/hearts of palm salad was good, but had asparagus stalks and no tips. Waiter did a fine job. However, the wine list at the table was the pricey one and I noticed nice, less expensive bottles displayed around the property, so we had wine by the glass. 3% credit card fee was an unpleasant surprise. Finally, we were celebrating a birthday, which I indicated on my reservation. The adjacent table also had a birthday and they received a candle lighted pastry and we did not. Not a good night. Won’t be back.

    This was our first time to Limoncello South but it will not be our last. The food was amazing. The service was great. The manager was amazing. There was live music and people got up and were dancing and singing along. It was a great time. We will definitely be back to Limoncello!!

    Never disappoints. Food is reliably excellent. Nice atmosphere, sometimes live music although not on Valentines night. Tables a bit too close together in the smallish dining room. You are on top of your neighbors so not a lot of privacy but food is great.

    We had the Branzino Francese and it was delicious. We have been to Limoncello South on several special occasions, the food and service has always been excellent. Last night we celebrated Valentine's early and as usual we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

    We happened to hit ladies night and I think kitchen may have been a bit overwhelmed. Waitress seemed inexperienced and pasta was very average. Martini and wine were good though.
