Our Story
The essence of Italy.
A warm, family-run table in San Juan Capistrano.
From Naples to Capri.
In the restaurant's own words, this is a place where "the essence of Italy comes to life in every dish," with a kitchen "crafting homemade pasta and sauces that transport you straight to the streets of Naples or the island of Capri."
That is the whole idea behind the name. Limoncello is the bright lemon liqueur of the Amalfi coast, and the room is built to feel like it: cream stucco, blue umbrellas, an open bar, and a terrace that catches the afternoon sun.
Guests on Google mention meeting one of the owners, Antonio, and the warm Italian atmosphere. They mention a kitchen that will happily cook something fresh to order, and a bar pouring cocktails to match.
What you'll find
Made fresh
Pasta and sauces from the kitchen. Reviewers call the texture “absolute perfection.”
A real bar
Spritzes, sours, an espresso martini, a Negroni. Bright, fresh-pressed, easy to linger over.
Warmly run
An attentive, accommodating room. The kind of place you stay for one more glass.
