    We got the chicken Parmesan and cheese tortellini with ham and peas. Both dishes were excellent! Bursting with flavor, the chicken parmesan was smashed thin and breaded perfectly. The ratio of spaghetti to chicken to cheese was perfect. My wife loved the tortellini which had bold flavor and not as heavy as you would think. Service was great, we were dressed very casual and they accepted us without hesitation. A really great meal!

    This place is run at a high-level with the goal of always ensuring the diners enjoys their dining experience. Shortly after placing our order, we were informed that the kitchen had no more of the lamb dish to sell. However, a few minutes later, the manager came by and let us know that the kitchen was willing to prepare and cook one for us (probably from the stock allotted for the following day). A+ customer service, and the food never disappoints.

    I have been a patron of Limani in Long Island. During the pandemic, everything was impeccable. After the pandemic, when they removed the glass separations for each table, we found the noise level complex, and we will not go there on the weekends. This is the second time I have dined at the Manhattan location. As cited in my review, the food and service were excellent, although I needed a better explanation of what I ordered. In addition, I found that they were too fast to clean the tables and we were not even finished. It was like they were rushing us out. The drinks could have been more potent. However, again, I found it to be cold and drafty. I had to eat wearing my coat.

    Our group enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service at this restaurant. I give extra points to the staff, who were very attentive at the door, at the table, and at the bar as we ordered takeout for our colleagues who could not make the lunch meeting. Thank you!
