Limone Dining — Restaurant in Griffith City Council

My friend and I ate at Limone two nights ago and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since! Not only is the food phenomenal, the atmosphere and the staff make it a full experience. The interior feels like a different world and the live music was such a great addition. The staff were so attentive. Elena was so fun and friendly, and was always checking up on us. Pauline made us feel so comfortable, laughed with us, and was able to answer all our questions. Luke was very accomodating and happy to go above and beyond for our requests. I can’t speak highly enough of the service and staff. It’s a fine dining restaurant but the staff make the environment relaxed and comfortable.

Most importantly, the food! I was so impressed by the standard of the food. Everything on the plate had a back story and had been hours or even months in the making. I wouldn’t change a thing about any of the meals we had, and we had a lot. We ate for 2 hours and didn’t feel overly-full, just satisfied. I was especially impressed by the fact that I was tasting tastes and flavour combinations I’d never experienced before. Huge compliments to the chefs, you could taste the passion that was put into their dishes. We took home a loaf of sourdough and some cookies, both of which were gone within a day. Some of the best food I’ve ever had!

I’ll be yelling about this restaurant to everyone I meet for the rest of my life, I’m so impressed!

Thank you...

Staff at the Gem Hotel told us Limone Dining don’t do breakfast, but they do, and quite well in fact. My only criticism being they don’t warm their plates, which allows perfectly scrambled eggs and sourdough ($16) to cool quicker than you can eat them. You’ll find the restaurant on Griffith’s main drag, Banna Avenue. The nameplate is small, but the sign for their partner farm, Piccolo Family Farm, is big enough to catch your attention. The interior is constructed almost totally from recycled materials salvaged from the local area. The interior space houses a produce store showcasing the region’s wares, from olive oil to almonds. Baked goods, including sourdough, sit by the coffee machine. There’s croissants, muffins, and a few more Italian leaning items, like sweet ricotta sfogliatelle with neat pastry layers dusted in icing sugar.

Coffee, in a strong flat white ($6/regular) and a cappuccino ($5.50/regular) is both good enough and sizeable enough. The breakfast menu is basic, you can have your eggs one of three ways, and everything else is an add-on. Bacon ($4.50) is meaty and smoky; spinach ($4.50) is iron-rich and green; locally grown braised borlotti beans ($4.50) are unique and tasty; though it’s the lightly pickled fried mushrooms ($4.50) that i enjoy most on this regional...

Last day of our NSW trip we dined at Limone and it was the best meal of the whole trip.

It’s a quirky restaurant on the main Street (Banna St), close to city hall, and serves fabulous local produce. We had chickpea sliders and caprese salad to start. Both delicious but the tomatoes in the salad were out of this world. Followed by ricotta-filled ravioli and then a beef tenderloin as main course. The beef was cooked to perfection, on a creamy mustard sauce with some tasty greens, fresh from the garden. We finished the meal off with a pear tart that had a lovely lime sorbet.

Absolutely outstanding meal and worth driving a...
