Limoncello
A little Amalfi sun off Rancho Viejo. Una spremuta di sole.
A Squeeze of Sun
Naples, on a bright afternoon.
Limoncello is the lemon of the Amalfi coast. We named the place for it because that is the feeling we wanted: warm light, fresh pasta, a blistered pizza, a cold drink, and a long, easy table.
- Naples Pizzablistered at the edge, fired hot
- Fresh Pastamade in the kitchen, texture just so
- The Barspritz, sour, and a sunny terrace
The Table
Order these first.
The plates our regulars come back for. Fresh, generous, and very much from the coast.
Most loved Truffle Prosciutto Pizza
Naples-style, blistered at the edge, finished with prosciutto and a whisper of truffle. The one guests come back for.
Paccheri Rosa
Big tubes of pasta with braised sausage and wild mushrooms in a tomato cream sauce, finished with crisped basil.
Grilled Octopus
Tender grilled octopus over arugula with potato, shaved fennel, red onion and a squeeze of lemon.
Caprese, Heirloom
Red and gold heirloom tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, Kalamata olives, basil, a slick of good olive oil.
Tiramisu
Layered in a glass, dusted in cocoa, a few fresh strawberries and a sprig of mint. The way to close.
With an espresso, to close.
“One of my favorites in OC! The calamari is light, crispy and always fresh. The pasta is freshly made, and texture is absolute perfection. Authentic Italian food in the area.”
