- JJimSan Diego •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoLimoncello's was such a wonderful surprise. We heard great things, but it was even better than we expected. The decor and ambiance were so charming. The food was unbelievably delicious. One of the biggest standouts was the Ossobuco Di Maile, but there were 7 of us and we all loved what we had. The homemade pasta and the sauces were out of this world. Our server, Miguel, was so friendly and attentive. It was a wonderful night!More infoLimoncello La MesaPrice: Moderate• Italian• North Park•4.6
- OTOpenTable DinerSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe were there mid afternoon Christmas Day. It wasn’t to crouched and the service was good. Food was great. They have a nice patio dining area and an open air bar that were fairly quiet, but I did notice inside was kind of noisy due to all hard surfaces. Overall very nice experience.More infoFarmer's Table - La MesaPrice: Moderate• Farm-to-table• La Mesa•4.4
