Reviews for Limoncello Bistro in Barrie, ON

Ahhhh, we are so sorry it took us so long to discover this hidden gem right in our own backyard. The people are amazing. The... restaurant, quaint and homey. But the food. Oh, the food. Best lasagna and chicken Marsala we have ever eaten. The food isspectacular, the portions are huge and really inexpensive relative to what you get. We always have more than enough for a lunchthe next day. We visit every chance we get! Go. Now. Judge for yourself! Read more

My first time eating at this little gem and it was worth discovering on Localicious! I went for the dinner menu (priced at... 35$*. If you are interested in ordering wine or coffee or sparkling water, that is extra). You get to pick one option each fromthe appetizers, the mains, and the desserts sections. I decided on the mussels for my appetizer, the salmon fillet for my main,and a decadent chocolate cake for dessert. My mother who joined me opted for mussels as well, a pork stuffed with figs and otherdeliciousness, and a lemon cake. The mussels were served in a rich tomato sauce that wasn't acidic at all and came with warmbread for dipping. My salmon was cooked perfectly and flaked to the touch. However, my vegetables were a little too crisp for mypersonal taste. The potatoes were nice and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside and the chocolate cake was super richin a sinfully delightful way. Don't be fooled by how small the interior of the restaurant is - there is a warm ambience tohaving such a cozy dining setup. I definitely recommend giving Limoncello a try if you haven't had the chance yet! Read more

I celebrated my birthday here at Limoncello Bistro in July and was craving more! Made reservations to come in tonight (Friday... Aug 26) and Allison greeted us with a warm smile and welcomed us to have a seat. I had heard great things about the EggplantParmesan Tower and so I ordered it with a house salad. Unbelievable presentation! Positively delicious! Still licking thathomemade marinara sauce off my fingers!! Thank you for a wonderful experience and a mouthwatering meal! Read more

A quaint gem of a restaurant that I didn?t know existed in downtown Barrie. Seating is available inside or out on the patio.... Both were desirable. Accompanying our drinks was fresh, delicious bread served with olive oil & balsamic vinegar. I had theeggplant tower which was wonderful & very filling too. If you want a non-alcoholic drink, I would recommend the pink lemonade.Our server, Victoria was patient & helpful with making menu choices. Reservations recommended and note the Sunday menu differsfrom other days as it only offers items made with red sauce. Would definitely visit again. Read more

The food quality is sub par. I was excited to go to this place based on the reviews, maybe it was an off night? For the... appetizer my table had the bruschetta and the bread was wet and soggy. For the entrees our table had linguini con rapinisalsiccia, slow braised lamb ragu, sachetti, and Di Francesco. First of all I really think for an Italian restaurant, theyshould have real parmigiano reggiano, not that Kraft store bought brand (that?s what it tasted like) I had to take pictures ofa few dishes: Picture 1: Sachetti - large pouches of pasta filled with cheese and spinach in a Gorgonzola cream sauce Picture2/3: Olive Oil Base, Roasted Garlic, Bocconcini, Arugula and Balsamic Glaze (asked for without Prosciutto) Read more

Amazing restaurant! Been there twice and it never fails me. I can tell it?s by far o e of the top 3 restaurants in Barrie, a... truly hidden gem! Fair price, huge portions and amazing service! Our server, Allison, was lovely and so was the general manager(my apologies, the name escaped from my brain :( lol). We will certainly be back for this delicious heart warming food <3 thankyou for your service ?? PS: the pictures don?t make justice. You need to try it! AND TRY THE CANNOLIS! Read more

Had dinner here for the first time. Very tasty food - the gnocchi and rose sauce was delicious! The pizza was also good but it'd... be even better if they had stone oven pizzas. Friendly and welcoming service from Maddy. Will definitely be back! ???? Read more

Excellent food and quaint ambience. Immediately when I opened the door the smell of garlic was wafting out! I loved it at... first but eventually by the end of dinner it was starting to sting my eyes because of the lack of air extraction. Service waspretty good and the tables were a little tight between but that gave it that charm and intimacy. Healthy portions and themussels were amazing but I wish it came with bread to soak up all that yummy sauce! Overall I would recommend this restaurantfor a small party and intimate dinner. Prices are reasonable and food was delicious. I will definitely be back again. Read more
