   Can't go wrong here. However, beware you won't get pizza here. Which definitely isn't a bad thing. Italian cuisine shouldn't be defined by one food item and there is plenty of other delicious choices on offer. I came here with work as part of a large group. I didn't get to see the bill because someone else paid but the olives and bread provided upon arrival presumably were complimentary but I can't confirm that for certain. Please check other reviews! The bread and olives were delicious, the bread was slightly warm and fluffy and paired perfectly with the olives. Once we were all sat down and comfortable the waiter came and took our drinks order which was a mixture of softies, Peroni and two bottles of house wine. I had the wine which was more than drinkable. When the waiter came to take our food order, for starters I ordered the Grilled Sardines and for mains I ordered the Cannelloni Limoncello (veal filled pasta tubes). Both these dishes were delightful and I personally preferred the sardines as they were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The cannelloni was enjoyable but I wouldn't shout over the rooftops about it. From the rest of our group it seems like all the other dishes were enjoyed but again nobody was raving about it. The service was good and the waiter was good enough to mostly remember what we ordered to give our food without asking which is an often overlooked waiting skill. The interior decor was wonderful as it transported you to a small Bijou in Italy. However the main reason this gets a 4 from me is because of the food, with Italian restaurants being on every street corner these days the bar is pretty high and in my opinion Limoncello doesn't quite get there. I wouldn't write this place off though. Please do come here ad have your own opinion as the food is good and the prices from what I saw were very reasonable. I will be coming here again as there was so much more to try, for example the steak selection!

   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.

   In Abingdon on business, and googled local restaurants to find somewhere nice to eat. What a find! Limoncello was perfect. The waiter was lovely and very friendly. The ambience was relaxed, with lovely background music. The wine was delicious. And the food. The food! Absolutely gorgeous parmigiana melanzane and sautéed garlic prawns to start. Main course we had a seafood linguine and a penne Arrabiata with fried courgette and a mixed salad. Everything was superb. The chianti washed everything down perfectly, and then our lovely waiter brought us limoncello to finish. What a lovely night and a lovely dinner

   Toasty-warm restaurant, when it was truly freezing outside. A superb lasagne - great value too. Polite and attentive service. You’d go a long way to find better Italian food than this. Highly recommended

   Great Italian pastas and soups. Price was reasonable and quantity is good. Not crowded at dinner, so atmosphere is quiet and comfortable.

   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.
