Restaurant Review: Limoncello – Saratoga Springs, NY

After driving past this restaurant numerous times, we finally decided to try it out.  It boasts fresh Italian cuisine at moderate prices.  The atmosphere is nice and they have a large patio with landscaping that keeps it private from the road.  We ordered bruschetta for an appetizer and I was a bit disappointed with the lack of flavor - I’ve definitely had better bruschetta elsewhere.  However, I do have to say that our entrees were delicious!  I ordered orecchiette (ear- shaped pasta) with sausage and it was cooked to perfection.  I came close to finishing my whole plate, but left a few just so I didn’t feel guilty.  Kevin ordered gnocchi with Italian bacon and eggplant.  His meal had some incredible flavors that I’d never tasted in an Italian dish before.  I wouldn’t hesitate to order his selection in the future.  I give this restaurant credit for offering dishes outside the box.  It’s not your ordinary Italian cuisine.  I’ll admit, the first thing I look for when I go to an Italian eatery is baked ziti and I’m glad they didn’t have it because I truly enjoyed my entree.  I would have liked to have seen cannolis on the dessert menu though!
