Casa Limone

Hidden gem! The food was sooo good, and the staff was very nice and friendly. Highly recommend! The dessert was to die for! 😮‍💨

Limone offers good food with friendly service and welcoming staff. The pizza was tasty, though a bit too oily in the „typical“ NYC style. The burger was excellent, but the Carciofi salad was just okay, not quite resembling the authentic Italian version (why the addition of avocado?). Overall, a pleasant experience with some room for improvement in terms of staying true to traditional Italian flavors.

Had the opportunity to visit Casa Limone for business dinner on a Tuesday evening at about 6pm, as a group of 7. We had made reservations ahead and that helped get a nice corner table. It's NYC, so reaching here is advisable either by walk or using the sub. We were amongst the first guests for dinner but the place was packed by the time we were leaving at 8.15pm. We had a pleasant experience being welcomed and waited on. The staff were very professional and gave us the time any information needed to decide on our courses. The menu is largely Italian, so don't expect much else. They did have a burger. The dishes arrived fast and in quick succession. The dishes themselves felt like a bit of a letdown, mostly since they all tasted bland. The calamari fritter was very nice though. We were joking about not choosing olive garden instead. The portion sizes are pretty generous though (except the four cheese pizza that was unexpectedly small). Overall, Casa Limone offers a pleasant environment for somewhat private conversations over a meal. Expensive but not unjustified. However the taste/experience of the dish could get better.

9/20/24 Great place! Food was awesome and the atmosphere was perfect. High level of attention to detail from every member of the staff. Worth coming back to try out other dishes.

A beautiful hidden gem in the heart of NYC. The food was outstanding. A nice quiet atmosphere with friendly and attentive service. Would highly recommend!

Great service, waitress was attentive and my water was topped up several times. The deserts were very delicious. Food sub par. Tranquil atmosphere and beautifully decorated restaurant.

What a beautiful accidental find this was. Visiting for thanksgiving 2024 and discovered this gorgeous Italian restaurant. Just go! The calzone - delicious and filling The raviolis - wonderful, light and packs a powerful flavor. The pizza - traditional margherita flavorful Dessert - cannoli, chocolate cake and espresso.

For a pre-theatre dinner spot in midtown for reasonable price, this is the spot for Italian fare. The food was good for the price. Highly recommend the prefix menu for $49. The selection is reasonable with salad, soup, or smoked salmon as an appetizer. Pasta, pizza beef, or fish as a main: dessert was either chocolate cake or lemon meringue. Of those, I would pick the salmon, beef, and lemon meringue. With such a large party I tried a bit of everything but think those are the best. The vibe is very cozy and is a good date spot before a show you have. Drinks were also reasonably priced, and worth a try. Wait staff was very friendly, made the effort to wipe down the tables each course and filled our water without needing to ask everything.

Great arugula salad and pizza! Very well priced- highly recommend Fresh olive oil and we had the eggplant pizza which was just perfect.

The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere, beautifully adorned with lemon accents and tasteful artwork. The downstairs area houses the bar and kitchen, while upstairs offers a cozy dining space decorated with vibrant flowers. The meal began with a delicious serving of Burrata Pugliese, accompanied by fresh cherry tomatoes and drizzled with their exceptional olive oil--absolutely delightful! For the mains, I chose the Regina Margherita, a solid choice, and the Pasta Tartufata, which was creamy and flavorful, though a bit light on the truffles. Overall, the food was excellent, and I'd definitely return to explore more of their pizzas and pastas.

I've never had an eggplant Parmesan so delicious! The sauce was sublime! Surroundings so comfortable and our server was delightful and attentive. My partner's meatballs were likewise deluged in that incredible sauce, and the wine was a perfect pairing ( we finished the bottle!). Another great meal in NYC! We'll be back!

I'm very conflicted with this review - since there were both phenomenal and pretty poor aspects of my dining experience, and determining which holds more weight isn't easy. We'll start with the easiest plus - the decor of the restaurant is beautiful - with such vibrant colors. As for the food - the bread that started the meal was delicious, although we wish we had more - and the house olive oil is phenomenal. We had a margherita pizza to start, which was rather bland and could have used something more flavorful in the sauce - but the crust dipped in the olive oil was delicious. For mains, we both had the fusilli siciliano al pomodoro - which was a clear five star dish and one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had - cooked to perfection, delicious sauce and tasty eggplant, and a large portion. Where the restaurant fell short was service. It took more than 30 mins after we finished our pizza to receive our mains, and though the staff came over a couple times to apologize once they realized the food was taking a long time, that didn't do anything to expedite things. We were ready to overlook that because of how good the food was, until it took another 12 minutes from us asking for the dessert menu to have it brought over to us. For a restaurant in the theater district, being mindful of service time before evening shows it's important, something Casa Limone fell short at.

Fantastic food!! I cannot remember the last time I've had such a delicious meal. Small twists on traditional Italian cuisine. The lemon burrata pizza was incredible. Eggplant fusilli al pomodaro had the best tomato sauce I've ever had. Hands down. The wait staff was friendly, attentive and responsive... and don't even get me started about their lemon dessert. Oh and order the insalata di carciofi as an appetizer ;)

Ambiance of the restaurant is really lovely. Very well designed and at dinner time, the lighting and mood of everything is just right. I find it strange that they only have a restroom in the basement. Having been seated on the 2nd floor, it was a long trek. This may be typical, but it is personally the first time I've encountered such a layout. I opted for the 3-course dinner menu. I ordered the salmon, but they brought out the butternut soup, but I wasn't really opposed to it. Happy I had it! It was probably favorite dish in the meal. Each spoonful had a different and exciting flavor profile. I followed up with the braised beef which comes with polenta. It was alright. Not bad, not outstanding. I ended the meal with their lemon cake, which is topped with meringue. It was also alright. As a sweet treat connoisseur (if I do say so myself) it's not something I've thought back to or would get again. All in all, a pretty average experience at Casa Limone

We sat for a good 20 min before someone came over to ask if everything was good. Well no, no one had come to take our order (she must have missed the stack of menus on the table). By then, the table next to us had arrived, been seated, given bread and was already served their appetizers. We finally ordered. The food was...ok. Your standard Italian fare. For the food and the price, there are many comparable places that will actually serve you happily and willingly.

TikTok sent us here, and Casa Limone definitely delivered on the vibes. Think vibrant floral walls, unique furniture, and plates so pretty they deserve their own Instagram post. But did the food live up to the hype?  Calamari Fritti: Crispy, crunchy perfection with a light batter. The tartare sauce? Tangy and delish. Quality over quantity definitely applies here, as the portion size, while small, was perfection. Quattro Formaggi: Thin-crust cheesy goodness. Nailed it! Orecchiette alla Pugliese: This one was a miss for us.  The sauce was sadly watery and there was barley any Italian sausage pieces. This Pugliese classic deserved so much better Still, Casa Limone is a fun escape from the Midtown grind, and we can definitely see it being a go-to for business lunches.  Would we go back? Maybe for drinks and apps in that gorgeous space, but we'll probably explore other options for our next Italian adventure.

Came here after a broadway show. It's close to the theater district. They start you off with olives, bread and anchovies and olive oil. I started with the Runta di Carro alla Puttanesca. Had hand crafted paste Taggiasca , olives, capers, anchovies, basil and ricotta. The meal was delicious. This is a large restaurant with two floors. Service was quick and efficient, along with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. I am changing my rating due to the fact that the person I had dinner with , got food poisoning from her meal.

Beautiful decor and lovely ambiance for an intimate dinner. Complimentary olives & sundried tomatoes plus a basket of fresh focaccia bread. The table is stocked with extra virgin olive oil that you can drizzle over the bread and olives. I had the mesclun salad, split pea soup and shared the ricotta filled ravioli (forgot to photograph but all were very good choices). They have decadent desserts to choose from which are made fresh.

Came here on a Wednesday after work and was able to grab a seat at the bar. Went for the "Busiate Siciliana al Pomodoro" which was a pasta with eggplant. For the affordable price of $26, I got a huge plate of pasta that lasted for two meals. It was flavorful, the pasta was cooked to perfection, and the service was fast. Definitely has more of a finance bro/businessman crowd in there but all the staff were welcoming. Worth trying it out if you're around!

Casa limone was a very good experience. From the time we walked in, we were greeted by an amazing hostess, who sat us upstairs. I had to use the bathroom so I went straight to the bathroom after being seated. I was impressed that the bathroom was very clean had no smell and was a good size for the restaurant. I believe there was extra bathrooms downstairs, but I didn't need to go down the extra stairs. I just used the primary bathroom on the first floor. Moving onto service, our table waitress was really nice and friendly. The staff checked on us several times throughout our dining experience and that I was grateful for because at no point did I feel like I needed to wait long to ask for something. we ordered the hangar steak and the Casa Limon burger as well as, the tagliatelle pasta with Ragu and veal, I believe that's what it was called. I stand corrected. The hangar steak and Branzino was a part of the restaurants prefix dinner for restaurant week so that was $45 and you could choose out of three appetizers and three entrées so for appetizer, we had avocado salad, which was a really good portion. I feel like two people could've shared it, but of course we were all hungry so each person ate their whole salad. We didn't have drinks. Just water at the table, One person had an Arnold Palmer. She said it could have been a little sweeter but other than that, she was fine with it. Everyone really enjoyed their meal and had no complaints. The portion sizes were very appropriate for adults who eat normal. We didn't take part in dessert because we were full however, they had some really good options on the menu. The decor was beautiful and very clean l I would definitely return.

Ambiance was great, very cozy in the upstairs dining room, as was the service The food, however, was just so so. I had ravioli and the sauce was a bit heavy, and the raviolis could have been cooked a minute or two longer.

Loved the ambiance and their interior design - has white lotus season 2 vibes, with the italian decorative plates and tables, and loved the glassware too. The food wasnt anything to be blown away by, we had the Caesar salad, truffle pizza, and the salmon cooked medium. Enjoyed the salad the most. Truffle pizza could have had more of the pizza than the crust, and more truffles.. Appreciated that they treated us w a birthday cake after noting that i was celebrating my birthday in the reservation that i made through open table! Wasn't expecting it at all and it was a sweet surprise.

A beautiful space in the middle of midtown east that attracts a loyal lunch crowd. Menu is pretty good, but food could be a bit more elevated based on this group's other and better restaurants. Servers are very nice but service can be very slow. Had to keep flagging down server throughout the meal.

Food 6/10 It wasn't bad, but honestly nothing really stood out to me. The truffle pizza was good, but the pasta itself tasted like it was half-heartedly put together. The focaccia was not focaccia?? The burrata was fine too. Desserts were overly sweet. Definitely a spot for the vibes. Atmosphere 9/10 Very beautiful interior decor. I can see this place being a go-to place for business lunches, it's located in Midtown East right next to all of the corporate buildings. Gorgeous and vibrant flowers on the walls, funky colored furniture, and beautiful plates. Service 7/10 Solid, nothing wrong with it.

I've been here 5 times because it's right next to my office. This is a solid place with very fantastic Italian pizzas (think aromatic fragrant cheese and tomato sauce, fluffy and airy dough) and decent pasta - they're much more subtle and light in texture and flavor as to not overwhelm you and to help the lemon ingredient, their staple flavor, shine through. Even the truffle pasta, which you think would be an explosion of flavor, has a very smooth creaminess to it. Of course, I like my flavor bombs, but the appreciation of southern Italy's subtle flavor and individual ingredient highlighting is an art. Given the price point, the wonderfully subtle style of southern Italian cooking, and the amazing Lemon Meringue cake, this place is very close to a 5* Yelp rating. An 8.5/10 for me.

Good food. Easy eating and great service My go to in this place is usually the pasta with eggplant and cheese. I usually forgo the cheese and have a terrific cavatelli and egg plant, which is cooked perfectly - pasta is always al dente, and the lack of cheese allows me to enjoy the accentuated taste of the vegetables in the pasta. Perfect dish. I recommend this place

Beautiful restaurant and the food was so great! Really enjoyed this lovely gem. Will be coming back next time I visit Manhattan.

I came here with a group of friends for restaurant week. This place opened a year in a half ago, and this used to be Burger Haven. Anyways, the service was subpar. My friends ordered from the restaurant week menu, and they weren't impressed. Food portions were small. However, the lemon dessert lives up to the name. I decided to order off the menu, and I got the pasta Tartufata, which is pasta, pecorino, and black truffles. I liked my dish overall, but I'd like more black truffles. Great place for pictures and dine once. Three star rating because of subpar service and small restaurant week portions.

Went here for restaurant week and was pleasantly surprised! Walking in the place seemed fairly empty for a Friday night but I feel like that may be due to the location. We were seated quickly upstairs and the decor made it feel homey. The set menu had good options that my partner and I were able to get different things that both sounded good! The food was cooked well and portions were decent enough, we were able to finish everything. Overall a solid place! Will have to update if I come back to try their regular menu.

This is a wonderful restaurant that isn't priced like the Saks Fifth Avenue. It is just south of. So it's convenient if you're Midtown at Rockefeller Center Saint Patricks and Saks. Strangely, they don't have chicken franchise, which I think is a pretty basic Italian dish. Their pasta is excellent and homemade.

The TikTok girlies were right, this place is amazing! The place itself is gorgeous, when you step in you instantly feel like you're in Italy. The service is also on point the servers/wait staff is extremely attentive and nice! You definitely feel like you're in a fine dining establishment. To start off, my bf & I ordered classic margaritas. I really liked it - it was strong and had good lime flavor. They start you off with fresh olives and bread, such a great touch. For our appetizer we got the calamari. It was extremely flavorful and they included fried eggplant with it which I didn't expect but loved. The tartar sauce is also extremely fresh and delicious. For our mains we choose the Margherita pizza, spaghetti, and meat balls, The pizza was to die for, it had the most perfect sauce and crust. The spaghetti was perfectly al dente and the meatballs were also pretty good. The meals balls come accompanied by a slice of yummy sourdough. We also had to get dessert, when I tell you they have the most delicious mini doughnuts you have to get them! They come with an amazing vanilla gelato and chocolate sauce. Overall I really liked this place and truly recommend it. My reason for removing a star is because one the menu may be a bit limited for some & two I believe the portion sizes could be bigger for the price. To give you an idea my bf and I paid 219 plus tax for 4 drinks, an app, spaghetti, meatballs, pizza and dessert. If you're thinking about going go!

Really great service, ambiance, seating availability and good food. Came here for brunch with my boyfriend and I got the French toast while he got the eggs with bacon. I thought his eggs and bacon tasted good but they only gave literally 4 potatoes and the salad dressing tasted a bit odd. I enjoyed my French toast, the sweet cream in the dish was delicious! We also got a margherita pizza to share and it was good. Overall, food was good and service was good for the most part. I liked the layout of the restaurant with the two floors and all the decor.

There was a mixup in our reservation but the hostess was kind enough to get us in. Food was excellent.

Had a great lunch at Casa Limone last week. Ambiance is beautiful...this is really just a stunning restaurant! Service is friendly. Food is excellent all around. I had a salad with shrimp and a side of roasted vegetables. Other members of our party had salmon, chicken, and seabass and everyone enjoyed their food. Prices are reasonable. We'll definitely return!

Really enjoyed dinner and the nice ambiance at Casa Limone with my family. The waiter was so attentive, polite and helpful during our time there. I enjoyed the wall decor of plates and colors. There's plenty of great Italian pastas and pizzas to pick from. My partner and I shared the margarita pizza and clam pasta, both of which had huge servings even though they're personal dishes. The pizza sauce was so flavorful and fresh, the dough/crust was perfect amount of bread and crunch, and I liked the hint of basil. The pasta was cooked really well and the clams were fresh. Their cocktails are also very good! Highly recommend coming here for family dinner or date night :)

Unpretentious, modern and comfortable space with a very good $44 three-course pre-theater menu deal on the weekdays. All dishes were very competently done. We had the mushroom soup and salmon crudo for appetizers, the beef cheek and branzino for mains and the lemon cake and chocolate cake for dessert. Wine on the menu is also a decent deal for midtown with a $11 Pinot Grigio that wasn't too acidic or sweet.

Came here before a Broadway show. Convenient location to the theatre district without paying sky high prices. Our table of four enjoyed a variety of entrees from pizza to pasta to chicken to fish. All were great and we had leftovers. A great addition to the meal was the pre meal olives, focaccia and olive oil. The lemon meringue cake and tiramisu were delightful. It was my birthday weekend so they brought out dessert with a candle on it! Great vibes in this two story restaurant. Great service from the hostess to the water boy to the wait staff and greeters. We'll be back!

Beautiful ! Delicious authentic food with great ambiance and service! I will definitely be returning

One of my favorite places to dine when visiting NYC. Great place to stop in for cocktails, some food at the bar, pre-theater meal (lunch or dinner) or dinner. Had the casa Limone cocktail today and casa Limone pizza with burrata and arugula. Great service and food.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Everything here is perfect: the food, drinks, ambiance, and service. It's the ideal place for dinner with a big family or friends' parties. Plus, the staff always goes above and beyond to make every visit special.

Service was amazing. Enrique made my drinks perfectly the cutlery was beautiful and ambience was very comforting and cozy. Would definitely come back

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant. The mushroom soup was rich, creamy and delicious. My wife paid extra $18 for a bowl of minestrone soup which was underwhelming. It was more like a chicken broth vegetable soup. We shared the pizza which was perfectly cooked and very flavorful

Oh my oh my! I came on a Saturday during a brunch/lunch menu. I had a Cesar salad with a side of chicken. I know it's just a salad but it wasn't just a salad. When a restaurant charges a bit more try to understand the ingredients. They made the dressing from scratch and the chicken cutlet was so tender that it melted in my mouth. They gave me a few pieces of focaccia bread with the house olive oil and some beautiful Italian olives. Beautiful. I don't get impressed easily but the decorum, the salad and the staff were lovely. It was quiet but I'm pretty sure you should use a reservation app when you have a larger part (which they can accommodate). Really yummy!

I came here on Valentine's Day. I was very impressed with the food and loved the ambiance. Even though the same menu won't be available during regular business days, I still enjoyed my experience at this spot very much. I would come back again. I would describe their food as upscale Italian. There were traditional Italian food selections on the menu, but I went for its seafood selections. I had: - a butternut squash soup (Similar to the wild mushroom soup. The soup was so smooth and full of flavors.) - a grilled wild salmon dish (Similar to the Branzino dish. The salmon was so soft, and didn't have the fishiness that typically came with cooked salmon.) - a scallop dish (unfortunately I couldn't find a similar dish on the regular menu. The scallops was alright, but the purée on the bottom and the fishskin strips on the top were super stars for this dish.) As for dessert, we got a puff pastry and a berry/lemon mousse. These two are specially for Valentine's Day. Both of them were delicious, especially the puff pastry. The waiter even drizzled the chocolate and caramel sauces in front of us as demonstration. Overall, I had a really good experience!

Really enjoyed brunch here. They have a pretty good brunch menu. Dining room and the interior is really nice. The lobster Benedict was really good as well as the Margherita pizza. The pasta dish I ordered for my daughter was just okay. The top was really burnt and there wasn't much edible pasta underneath the burnt pasta. I couldn't taste any veal as well. Service was good although a bit snobbish.

Great food, but my favorite was the drinks! Very fruity and fresh. The interior and decorations are super cute as well.

Solid spot for lunch. Good but not stunning food. Split a burrata and I had spaghetti with olive oil and garlic. Good place for a business lunch. Efficient but non-intrusive service.

Bellissimo! Had a delicious ravioli dish and enjoyed the taste of my friend's salmon and risotto as well. Service was excellent and I loved the vibe of their outdoor patio with big lemon colored umbrellas. Service was extremely accommodating. Wheelchair access details: the patio is available, step-free entrance but I didn't go indoors.

We came here before going to a broadway show. It was a really cute spot with aesthetic decor. The service was very slow when we went and it wasn't busy, which was the only downside. Great food though and big portions. We would come back here and try some of the specialty cocktails next time.

The food was underwhelming, no flavor and nobody cared enough to ask if we liked the food. If you want authentic Italian food go to Scalinatella Restaurant!

Everything was DELICIOUS We ordered bronzini and braised beef Pizza and pasta for the kids And doughnuts for dessert Service was excellent and ambiance was beautiful 1000 percent recommend

Casa Limone truly exceeded our expectations during "restaurant week." The menu offered an outstanding selection that catered to everyone's taste. The ambiance of the restaurant was just perfect for our group of four, allowing us to have meaningful conversations without any disturbances. My wife and I started with the mixed salad and salmon Crudo from the $45 menu, and they were both delightful - delicious, perfectly prepared, and not overly dressed. The Branzino (fish), in particular, was a standout and reminded me of some of the best fish we had in Sicily. The accompanying vegetables served with the main dish were a delightful surprise - they were flawlessly cooked and seasoned, enhancing the overall dining experience. For dessert, we couldn't resist trying both the lemon meringue cake and the chocolate cake, and they were simply scrumptious, leaving us with a delightful finale to our meal. One aspect that stood out was the terrific service we received throughout our visit. The staff was attentive, accommodating, and made us feel truly valued as guests. The entire experience at Casa Limone was a true delight, and I can't wait to return for another memorable dining experience.

The best, it was amazing. Had two pizzas and the ravioli. Such clean authentic flavors. The flour is from Italy and perfectly made into dough. I only wish I lived here I could be here everyday!

Came here for dinner with my friends and was treated so poorly. The hosts looked us up and down then walked us over to our table with menus but didn't leave them at the table. The vibe from the staff was rude and they didn't want to wait on us. The food was good and interior was nice but all of that didn't matter because we were treated so poorly. The host's definitely had a "holier than thou" attitude to the customers and honestly made us want to walk out as soon as we sat down.

An amazing discovery for lunch today after shopping Fifth Avenue shopping Scrumptious fish courses, lovely staff, quick charming service and a calm welcoming ambiance. A true gem!!!!!

It took about 20 minutes for me to get a server. The food was adequate. Very beautiful decor but would not come back

We came here for a brunch as it was relatively close to us, and had decent reviews. We had frittata casa limone (omelette with burrata cheese and veg) and the salmon, lastly we ordered fried calamari as we have to reach a certain cost to qualify for they bottomless mimosas, was a bit weird that we had to order in excess to qualify. The frittata and the salmon were pretty good, however the calamari was pretty bad, only saving grace was the fried zucchini served with it, but the biggest issue we had was with our waiter (the rest of staff was ok) he just rained on our parade overall, and the kicker was that he cut us off without any real heads-up from the mimosas after just a couple, stating that he already closed our tab (which he did without asking us) and therefore can't serve us anymore - a far cry from bottomless. We will not be returning
