Limoncello — Restaurant in Waldwick

From the little corner of a strip mall in Waldwick, Limoncello was an incredible find on Open Table. Named after the classic Italian liqueur with a unique unmistakable lemon flavor and opened for 10 years, this establishment is a small casual BYOB restaurant. From the beginning, my partner, our friends and I were impressed by the hospitality of this family owned restaurant of two brothers (Remy and Jimmy) functioning as both host and server and decided to have dinner tonight. Reservation is highly suggested as the place was packed upon arrival. The menu has many traditional Italian 🇮🇹 dishes. Complimentary garlic bread, warm loaf and salad started our meal. As appetizers, we got Brie Cheese in a phyllo dough fresh fruit honey cranberry glaze and Calamari with sesame ginger sauce. For entrees, Pollo Calabrese (breast topped gorgonzola, wild mushrooms and red wine), Rigatoni Vodka in pink sauce, Rigatoni Angello with sweet sausage peas mushrooms pink sauce, Stuffed Rigatoni consisting four cheese vodka pink sauce and Homemade Cheese Manicotti with Bolognese meat sauce and spinach. The food was fresh, well seasoned, delicious and the portions generous. Some of us had room for dessert and got the limoncello cake and lime mousse pie. The staff including one of the owner’s son Danny was very friendly and provided great service. They were attentive but certainly not intrusive. The restaurant appears to be very clean with comfortable table seating and tablecloths. Our first visit to Limoncello will not be our last as we can...

Limoncello is an incredible restaurant that serves some of the most delicious food in the area. Their menu is extensive and offers a wide variety of dishes that are sure to satisfy any craving. From pasta to seafood to steak, Limoncello has it all.

One of the things that sets Limoncello apart from other restaurants is the quality of their ingredients. Everything is fresh and locally sourced, which gives the dishes a unique and authentic flavor. The chefs at Limoncello are incredibly talented and know how to bring out the best in every ingredient.

Another thing that makes Limoncello so special is the atmosphere. The restaurant is cozy and intimate, with dim lighting and soft music. It's the perfect place to go for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and they go out of their way to make sure that every guest has a great experience.

If you're looking for a recommendation, I highly recommend the linguine with clams. It's one of their signature dishes and is absolutely delicious. The clams are fresh and perfectly cooked, and the pasta is al dente and flavorful. Another standout dish is the veal chop, which is cooked to perfection and served with a delicious sauce.

Overall, Limoncello is a must-visit restaurant for anyone who loves great food and a great atmosphere. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends, Limoncello has something...

Unfortunately average. I'd say that this place is good if you want some fairly priced Italian food for decent quality. Unfortunately nothing stood out too much. Appetizers such as the Muscles, Lentil Soups, and Ginger Calamari were well made, with the calamari in particular being cooked just right. I tried their Lamb Osso Bucco. While the meat was cooked well, it was served over Linguini with Mediocre presentation. The sauce it was served with would have gone better with a side of risotto or pasta with a more complementary flavor. My waiter was very insistent on serving desert despite asking for the check twice in a row, which was very irritating. I ordered their flan anyway, but that was another average item. And while it's less important that the food, the dull paint on the walls and the mismatched chairs make the place look like nothing has changed about the place for 20 years.

I would go here for a lower price, but down the road Circolo has superior food if you'd ever want Italian cuisine...
