Very attentive service from the lead server and a good local wine recommendation. The language barrier got in the way a couple of times with the other serving staff. Not horrible, but less than spectacular. A server took away a half-eaten dessert we’d told her to leave when she asked if we’d finished. We’d really been looking forward to the sea bass au gratin with a lemon and orange glaze. It tasted fine but it was a little dry until we added a bit of lemon olive oil to it that a server brought over. The setting was lovely and, all in all, we had a very nice evening. If we were going to be here another few days, I’d go back and try a few other dishes. It wouldn’t have taken much for this to be a 9/10 experience or better..

Sitting under a trellis of lemon trees, sipping a delicious lemon spritz and enjoying some delicious food- felt like a little piece of heaven. Highly recommend

We went to La Limonaia in 2022 and absolutely loved it. The food was great the wait staff was great and they even gave us free limoncello after our meal! We went back last night and the restaurant had completely changed. Not sure if it was new ownership or what. It almost felt very catered to tourists. our meal was very rushed as it seemed they want you out of the restaurant as quickly as you came in. The prices have gone way up and the portions were very small. The food was subpar and at the end we were asked to leave a tip and no limoncello like before. I ordered the same dishes i had last time and the recipes had also changed. Overall very disappointed

+4From the moment you enter at the sidewalk you are transcended into a space that lifts you and carries you on this journey of the senses that exceeds any thing I’ve imagined at a restaurant. Truly a lovely, delicious, ethereal experience. The service from Rafael was impeccable, embracing, attentive, personable, and detailed to our every question. Rafael was the “icing on the cake!!!”

what a amazing experience. I honestly didnt think I was going to like many things on the menu as I have never had lemon in my food, but oh boy, the chicken escalope in lemon sauce was amazing!!

The food was amazing. We also have several food allergies in our group and they were very attentive to that! Beautiful restaurant as well!

The setting is beautiful. The positives stop there. Service was horrendous. 2 side dishes never made it to the table. There was not one attempt to refill glasses or even to ask for dessert. We had to get up and ask the hostess to bring our check after sitting at our table for over an hour. I wish I could say that at the least the food was good… It was not! Bland is an understatement. Worst meal we had in the 3.5 weeks we spent in Europe.

Francesco was very welcoming and helpful. The lemon delight dessert was divine!

partner had fillet steak. very chewy & fatty for the Size you got. I has lemon chicken breast, tasteless, Over priced, far better other places, it gets away with charging these prices because of the setting in the lemon grove. very pretty, but without this they woukd not have repeat business. good job sorrento has a high turnover of tourist so they can get away with it.

Food was ok. Aesthetically the restaurant was nice. Restaurant didn’t honour The Fork’s 20% discount.

For an Italian restaurant this one needs to improve. Beautifully situated. But the food - basically is not even on par with restaurants at half the price. We saw the reviews on The Fork for this place, and they are quite good. I guess we were very unlucky that night or the other reviewers are more forgiving. 90 EUR for 2 persons incl 20% The Fork discount. Not worth it.

Beautiful place, amazing food

The food was delicious, just VERY expensive for the smallest portions. Even with multiple courses we were still starving and had to go grab a pizza after dinner. But the lemon ravioli was to die for! Just wished I would have had more than 5 tiny ravioli on my plate for the price.

The place was recommended by a close friend, and we were not disappointed! It’s a little pricey but the ambience and food was worth it. We love the lemon and oranges hanging around our table!

The ambiance was beautiful. The food presentation was perfect.
5.5
The food was good, pleasant and rhe waiting staff. The meal had a salad missing to which was brought at the end of our meal and we where told to still pay for it which was pointless. Also told by the owner you can add a service charge aswell. The owner was micromanaging, kept interfering and needs to keep in his box. leave his staff to do what they know to do. Instead of causing scenes in the restraint.

+2Food was fresh and tasted amazing but a bit overpriced for 3 meatballs at 20 euros The soup was much better than I expected 😁 Glad I went for the experience but could probably have got more for the money in the town
