Meals were good size as expected by Americans but huge by European standards. Short... More

Dying for some good Italian, we spied Limoncello's from the bus and hopped off excited about the outer decor and the promise of a view out back. Nestled (and sharing a dock) with the better known lobster house next door (Lorenzillio) we thought it would be a good choice. Though the restaurant tries extremely hard to deliver, this establishment fell... More

Limoncello is located in a tacky tourist area between downtown Cancun and the Hotel Zone, but you wouldn't know it once you enter the restaurant. Dark woods and lots of windows overlooking the water put you into a peaceful mood and we received a warm welcome from the staff. Ask for a table outside on the deck or indoors along... More

This restaurant, directly across the street for the Gran Caribe Real, is a perfect spot for dinner with a sunset. the restaurant sits on the lagoon side with just a perfect view. The food is good, the service attentive and the prices reasonable. The restaurant services the traditional Italian offerings as well as pizza. More

Service at Limoncello was extremely attentive. The appetizers and the pizza was very good. The menu was much deeper than just pizza, but we were just in the mood for this and we weren't disappointed. More

We visited this restaurant after several other travelers recommended it, and they were right. We had a wonderful dining experience with excellent, very professional and knowledgeable wait staff. Loved the Seafood Risotto, and the gelato. My husband had the chicken parm and said it was excellent. This was the best place that we ate at on our trip, and would... More
