4.6 (5)Playa de las Americas11-32 €


Limonella is a polished Italian choice in Playa de las Americas, strongest when you want pasta, warm service and a dinner that feels a little more cared for than a casual resort meal. Pasta-focused visitors praise the main dishes, while the table-made tiramisu turns dessert into a small moment rather than a routine order.
Fish of the day, focaccia and cocktails also work well, so it suits birthdays, sunset dinners and mixed groups. The room can be busy and noisy when full, and one detailed review was disappointed by ravioli and fritto misto, so the safest route is to lean into the pasta, fish and dessert strengths.

TLTR: Great food, amazing service!
As a pasta lover; This was one of the things i have looked forward too so much on our holiday!
We went here on my birthday 28th of may & when reserving a date and time they even asked if it was for a special occasion, which we said; yes my birthday! They sang me Happy birthday and I got a pistachio brownie, which was delicious.
The decor in the restaurant was absolutely gorgeous and the food was great! So great, we even had dinner 2 times here in the 7 days we were in Tenerife!
The staff was really nice and the service was great the whole night.
If you want to have dinner here, you definitely need to make a reservation, the waiting line we saw outside was long and for good reason! Ps (for the ladies): the ladies room is gorgeous!

Went here for an evening meal and were lucky enough to get a perfect table with a view of the sunset. Food was outstanding, fish of the day was so tasty. Wine was good too and the cocktails were lovely. The best part was the tiramisu, being made on our table then served gave a very authentic experience. Great service too.

We had such a lovely experience at Limonella. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and full of flavour. The mozzarella & tomato focaccia was amazing — so fresh and tasty, and the pasta dishes were honestly to die for. Every dish felt authentic and made with such high quality ingredients.
The desserts completely topped it off — the pistachio tiramisu made fresh at the table was such a unique touch and tasted amazing , and the pistachio cheesecake was absolutely incredible too!
The atmosphere was warm and stylish, and every member of staff was welcoming and attentive from start to finish. Easily one of our favourite meals in Tenerife and somewhere we’d highly recommend to anyone visiting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very nice restaurant just inland from the promenade with sea views. Food was good, a pasta ribbon dish with creamy cheese sauce and I had head on garlic prawns followed by a rib eye steak. Although cooked nicely could have been tenderer but was very edible. Drinks were a Limonella spritz, a beer and a lovely class of house red to wash down the beef. Will definitely go there again to see what else their menu offers.

First of first our host was a great , we arrive early for our reservation but she still seat us down and was very welcoming.
When it came for food order we were very excited for pasta. My husband had a ravioli , very tasteless and looked not appetising. Frito misto to our friend was so dry (tuna was completely burnt) and zero flavour.
I have to say thanks to the chef who made my aioli pasta which wasn’t on the menu.
Very bad impression was , the waitress who started our table , she get change and never came to say buy or nobody came to our table as a server anymore . Unless if you don’t wave at them !!!!
Apart of that , nobody came to ask for more drinks , no check back on main course .
We have finished with food if we can say like that and really wanted to try or (risk) tiramisu as my husband favourite dessert . The waiting staff dont pay attention and after 20 minutes we asked for the bill .
The bill was dropped on the table without asking why food is not touched, no questions about dessert also …….
Really don’t worth the hype !!!!!
