Ive been wanting to try this restau from sometime now, due to high ratings in website.Once we came in it was a different ambiance, cozy and homey. Decors were italian inspired, with italy posters, old italian photos and wines.We ordered the meat platter valued at P795 good for 2-3 persons, when we got then we were suprised atleast its worth the price, because some of the menu are a bit pricy and can be compared to other cheap ones in bf.The dish was very delicious, low salt which was good. We ended up taking out some of the leftovers due to the big serving.We were not able to try the famous cheesecakes because we were full, but either way a slice for P250-300 is not worth for me since im not really into cheesecakes.Will definitely be back to try more of their dishes

"Quantity is a quality of its own." I first read that line in a military history book, referring to Soviet Russia's propensity to use the weight of numbers of its nearly limitless manpower to overwhelm the technologically superior and better equipped armies of its enemies in the 20th century. Now what has that got to do with food and Don Limone? When we first dined at Don Limone over a month ago, my wife and I could not help but be enthralled by the perfect blend of spices that permeates their wide variety of Mediterranean dishes. She got hooked on the Lamb Chops Espetada - one of the few lamb dishes we've ever had that tastes great even without the mint jelly, while I conservatively went for the tender Lingua Limone as I had just undergone a root canal. We then added a Tutte Le Carni (all meat) and El Greco pizza combination - yes, they allow you to order half your pizza of one flavor and the other half of another! My wife punctuated the experience by ordering the Pomegranate Raspberry cheesecake, which she described as a unique mixture that avoided the feeling of "ilay" or "sawa" that you normally get with other sweet desserts. But what about the "quality vs quantity" thing? That came last Father's Day, when we invaded Don Limone with 12 hungry family members. My battle plan for that day however, was different. Instead of ordering a la carte, we chose to go for the special platters (unfortunately not included in the menu listed on website). We ordered the P795 Mixed Espetada (grilled meats, rice, potato, salad - good for 3), the P995 Lamb Piccata (lamb, beef, pasta, salad - good for 3), and the P1195 Seafood Platter (different seafood, rice, potato, salad - good for 4). The meal was reinforced by a Tutte Le Carni all-meat pizza and an additional order of Lamb Shanks Casablanca when the kids who never tasted lamb before and wouldn't even imagine themselves eating it, suddenly couldn't get enough once they tasted it. The quantity of the food was truly overwhelming, but coupled with the fact that only the freshest ingredients and exotic spices were used, the resulting synergy of quantity and quality proved too much to resist. As a coup d' grace, Don Limone even gave free cheesecake slices and shots of limoncello to all fathers present. Mission accomplished!

Went here for a friend's birthday dinner. I ordered their bestseller pasta Casalinga and I liked how the meatballs and tomato sauce was very tasty. The pasta was served a little cold though. Also ordered a half-and-half of their Margherita and Tutte Le Carni, which also tasted good as it was fresh out of the oven.Don Limone is known for their cheesecake but when the six of us ordered six different flavors, most from the group didn't enjoy what they had. The Mango Melange in particular tasted horrible, like it had been sitting in the fridge for too long. I personally enjoyed my ube cheesecake, but after trying everyone else's I agree that the taste is disappointingly subpar. Oh well, at least the servings were big though.Plus points for the ambiance. It's better to sit outside at night :)
