Enter Limoncello Restaurant in La Mesa, through the yellow and white striped awning, and be transported to sunny, southern Italy. The decor is lightly sprinkled with bright summer-inspired colors. Summer on the Amalfi Coast. The Neapolitan cuisine of southern Italy has a rich history of culinary traditions from the Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines. Each culture left a tradition behind: seafood, pasta, figs, pomegranates, fresh tomatoes, and broccoli.Although southern Italy didn’t invent pasta, it fine-tuned the production and drying of pasta on racks. A nod to this tradition is displayed in the glass-enclosed pasta room, where Limoncello chefs hang homemade, colorful pasta on drying racks. Chefs also make their own ravioli. Gluten-free penne pasta is available.Some Antipasti dishes reflect the region, such as Cozze and Vongole, which are fresh mussels and clams with vermentino white wine and garlic crostini. Try the Polpette Sorrentino, which are Nonna’s traditional meatballs with pomodoro sauce, Mediterranean olive and whipped ricotta.For main courses, they offer Brasato – an 18-hour braised boneless short rib with roasted tomato, Parmigiano Reggiano, and risotto. If you enjoy a rack of lamb, try the Agnello Arrosos. The lamb is grilled with romesco and salsa verde. For a classic Southern Italian dish, try the Eggplant Parmigiana di Melanzane, served over housemade fettuccine.On the menu are classic Italian dishes such as Spaghetti Carbonara or Lasagne Bolognese, but you’ll also find Parmigiana di Melanzane, the classic Southern Italian-style eggplant parmigiana, and homemade fettuccine.
