Limoncello feels as if you’ve found a local trattoria right here in Oxfordshire. The menu is traditional with entrees, pasta, pizza and meats, followed by desserts. Each dish was well prepared, fresh and delicious. The grilled sardines with mint were particularly good. My wife is vegetarian and found great options to chose from. The service was friendly and fast.
Lived in Abingdon for nearly 10yrs so was well overdue a visit. Shouldn’t have waited so long - it’s exactly what you’d hope for. Food was great, decor a bit on the dated side but generally really good.
Great experience! The place was fully booked, pleased that we made a reservation. They offer complimentary bread and olives for every table, their starters are great, specially the calamari. As main, I was very happy with fillet mignon with wine and mushroom sauce. The crispy courgettes on the side with the main dish were delicious. Nice double espresso after the meal. And, of course, they offered limoncello shots after the bill. The service was excellent, they did not rush to make us leave quick, even the restaurant was busy, served well and food preparation was rapid enough. The only downside to the restaurant is the location due to the parking limitation and the closest car park is very busy, difficult to find a spot.
Fantastic authentic Italian food at very reasonable prices. Highly recommend
Amazing food, can’t wait to visit again.
A lovely family run restaurants. The people were very helpful and friendly. The food was wonderful and the meal was probably the best Italian meal I've had outside of Italy. Great value too.
5 stars all the way. Arriving in Abingdon I was looking for some tasty food as its my day off. I literally stumbled on This place. I could have walked by as the front is almost 70s cafe look. I was welcomed and offered a choice of seating. I noticed as I looked around the restaurant went back a way. Many seats. Water and olives with breads on the table immediately. The menu arrived quickly too. As I'm hiking back to oxford a healthy energy lunch was called for. Enough of the story. My food arrived. Wow! Placed down politely. It looked delicious. It was delicious. Cooked perfectly. Herbs, cream, veil. Veg. Potatoes in small cubes. Many different subtle tastes and textures. In my ear operatic style music. Decor perfect. Sun shining in. Perfect. The wine perfect. I imagine my walk back along the Thames to have some down points only because after such a positive happy lunch alone in such a wonderful restaurant the up can't continue. Lol. Fantastic host. Chilled and relaxing vibe. Excellent service. Food that if gods existed would definitely feast upon.
Great Italian pastas and soups. Price was reasonable and quantity is good. Not crowded at dinner, so atmosphere is quiet and comfortable.
