👍👍 As an Italian I rarely eat at Italian restaurants unless their dishes are way above the average. Finally I had the pleasure of dining at Limoncello, and I must say, it truly transported me to the heart of Italy with every bite.

😐 Very generous toppings, not enough açaí base though. I understand that the açaí isn’t blended, which is typically how I prefer to have it because it’s more pure and true açaí. The portion size was disproportionate for sure. Having lived in Brazil for years and tried tons of açaí there and in here t...

Chicken restaurant
👍👍 One of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time, let alone in a food court! Chicken was perfect and I highly recommend to get it the spicy way, it’s really not that hot at all but full of flavor. The price is right and the food over delivers, I really am just in shock at how much i loved it
