came to Le Monica while in town and so glad we chose to eat here! Vibes were great, very romantic and cozy inside. Dima was our server and was very nice and attentive. I got the rigatoni ala vodka with and it was so good! The sauce was amazing. Also got some pizza as starters. would definitely come back :)

It was our first time visiting, and my family truly enjoyed this place! We ordered two appetizers, one pizza, and three pasta dishes — everything was incredibly delicious! The portions are large and very filling; we even asked for to-go boxes because we couldn’t finish everything and want to enjoy the food again at home The Pesto pasta could have been a bit more flavorful, as it tasted slightly mild to me, but that may just be my personal preference. Our server was courteous and attentive — unfortunately I didn’t catch her name — but the service was excellent! The atmosphere feels very cozy and homey, a place where you really want to spend time. The music also perfectly complements the ambiance and the Italian vibe. I’ll be happy to recommend this restaurant to my friends!

Ruslan was our server who provided to excellent service. Food was incredible. We got the truffle Brussel sprouts, pasta alla vodka, pasta alla carbonara, tiramisu and limoncello. All were authentic and incredible. Our favorite was the pasta alla vodka!

The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was amazing. Our server, Luslan, was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the entire dining experience even better. Everything from the service to the food and ambiance was excellent. This is truly one of the best restaurants in Miami, and I would highly recommend it. I will definitely be coming back!

Rusloin was our server at Lemonica Restaurant and he was amazing! From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and very professional. He made sure everything was perfect and checked on us at the right times without being overwhelming. He gave great recommendations and made our experience even better. The server assistant was also amazing! Very attentive, quick, and always making sure our table was clean and that we had everything we needed. The teamwork between them was excellent. The service truly made our visit special. We will definitely be coming back! 👏✨

We visited this wonderful restaurant with friends and were truly impressed. The service from our waiter, Ruslan, was exceptional. He was incredibly attentive, helped us choose our dishes, and even told us about the origin and preparation of the food. The pasta was unbelievably delicious, and all the seafood was fresh. We also tried cocktails — the Lemonica Martini and the Lemonica Sour — both very delicate and flavorful, exactly what we were looking for based on Ruslan’s recommendation. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you want to relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and experience excellent service and amazing food.

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. We chose to sit outside, and the staff thoughtfully offered blankets, which made the evening feel cozy and well thought out. Ruslan provided outstanding service! Attentive, efficient, and genuinely warm throughout the night. The food truly stole the show. The filet was cooked to perfection, with a beautifully seared exterior that locked in the juices and a buttery-soft center that practically melted with each bite. It was richly flavorful, tender, and seasoned just right. The roasted vegetables were equally impressive! Caramelized on the outside for a satisfying crunch, yet tender on the inside with a natural sweetness that complemented the steak perfectly. Every element on the plate felt intentional and elevated. Overall, this restaurant is a 10/10. We left beyond satisfied and will absolutely be returning.

By far one of my favorite Italian restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. I picked this place for my birthday because the pictures reminded me of the restaurants in Italy. Everything from the service when you walk in the restaurant of how they open the door, to the tasteful decor everything lemons, to the incredible palate of each dish (highly recommend the Wild Porcini Mushroom Pasta), everything is intentional and amazing. Our server Jay was attentive and kind, he made our experience great. We will be back!

Esther

Amazing food! Get the Osso Bucco with fresh Linguine. Creme Brûlée was also perfect. Also our waiter Ruslan was very attentive and helpful. Great service and beautiful atmosphere. The music was a bit loud when we walked in and he noticed I was looking at the speaker, he asked it to be lowered right away. Super great date night 10/10 and we will be back very soon to try more dishes.

LANA STESHENKO

Our waitress Olha provided absolutely wonderful service. She was caring, attentive, and incredibly quick to respond to everything we needed. She handled all our requests with ease and a smile, even our little “caprices.” They kindly prepared a pizza for us as a special request, and everything was delicious. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, and they even adjusted the music almost exactly the way we asked. A truly lovely restaurant with a comfortable location. We will definitely come back again!

I would like to leave a positive review and express my gratitude to the restaurant’s team. I stopped by this evening just to pick up some desserts. The restaurant had been on my go-to list for a long time, and I finally had the chance to step inside. A few words about the interior: it is very cozy and tastefully designed. While I was waiting for my desserts to be packed, I truly enjoyed looking at the decorative shelves and installations. Even though the restaurant was fully seated, every staff member who noticed me checked whether I was already being helped. It was very pleasant to feel such attentiveness and genuine willingness to assist. Despite how busy the restaurant was, my order was prepared within 10 minutes, and the team made sure I felt well taken care of. Thank you so much! I will definitely be back when I have the opportunity.

We had such a lovely experience here! 🤌🏼The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful - everything is done in one cozy, stylish theme with cute little lemons everywhere 🍋 It gives such a fresh and cheerful Positano vibe. Our waiter, Ruslan, was amazing - super friendly, attentive, and helped us choose the best dishes. We ordered pizza Prosciutto Cotto & Scamorza Affimicata, Pasta alla Carbonata, Beef Carpaccio with Arugula and Parmesan and Salmon Carpaccio with Lemon Zest - everything was delicious, but the pizza completely stole the show! Overall, this place has great food, a charming ambiance, and wonderful service. Definitely worth visiting again!😍

We had a wonderful dining experience at this Italian restaurant! We ordered the seafood pasta and the Diavola pizza. The seafood pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked, with a rich, flavorful sauce that complemented the seafood beautifully. Every bite tasted authentic and well-balanced. The Diavola pizza was equally impressive — crispy crust, generous toppings, and just the right amount of spice to give it that classic kick. A special thank you to our server, Ruslan, who made our evening even better. He was attentive, friendly, and professional, ensuring everything arrived on time and that we had everything we needed. His service truly elevated the whole experience. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for great Italian food and excellent service.

Absolutely amazing! Our server Johnny was such a pleasure and informed us of the newest and popular menu items and checked in with us often. Everything was delicious… we had the beef carpaccio and eggplant appetizer, both delicious… for entrees we had the branzino and the seafood pasta, again amazing! And for dessert the beautiful portion of tiramisu which was again amazing… the drinks were delicious as well… we will most definitely be back!

Very attentive. Excellent recommendations… we had the truffle Brussels sprouts, the wild mushroom porcini pasta which was divine, and the cotoletta milanesa. Everything was perfect. We will definitely come back.

This restaurant is beautiful, it’s cozy, and the atmosphere is amazing. The inside is super cute and it just feels like we’re in a little place in Italy. I love the lemons that are everywhere, and all the other pieces of decorative pieces around the entire restaurant. Even the outside dining area is incredibly cute! And even with all the cuteness of the restaurant, the FOOD is even better. I had their specialty lemon cocktail, and my fiancé had a beer. We had the crispy truffle brussels sprouts (these are so good), the pasta carbonara and the pesto pasta. Our server Lucas gave the idea to also order the cotoletta di pollo a la milanesa with mash potatoes (breaded chicken with mash potatoes) so we splurged and added it and it was a fantastic addition to our meal. The chicken is huge and super crispy and you can cut it in half and share it for two. The tiramisu is SO GOOD! The service is 10/10 they’re super attentive and kind and Lucas especially was fantastic with his knowledge of the menu and his recommendations. Definitely a great place to eat with family, friends, or on a date night— even solo! You can also make a reservation.

Maria Eugenia Abreu

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented — everything you’d hope for in a true Italian restaurant. From the fresh pasta to the perfectly balanced sauces, every bite was delicious. Our server, Rulan, truly made the night exceptional.

This place is an incredible addition to the refinement of downtown Hollywood! Incredible experience! If you are an influencer you will loveeee this place! Lemons everywhere! The decor is perfection 🍋🍋 we got the pepperoni pizza and it was amazing . The dough was to die for. We also got the porcini pasta - wicked good! The pasta is made in house and you know it when you bite in. Delightful wine list. I worked in fine dining for several years so when I say the service was the best part of the experience- I mean it! Mira was the cherry on top of the entire experience. Her management should commend her for her top notch hospitality and knowledge of the menu! Will be back and ask for her! Thank you Mira! 🍋🍋🍋

Tucked away in the heart of downtown Hollywood, this quaint Italian restaurant is truly a hidden gem. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and inviting charm set the perfect tone for the evening. The food was nothing short of excellent — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and crafted with obvious care. Each bite felt authentic and comforting, the kind of Italian cooking that transports you straight to a family kitchen in Italy. What truly elevated our experience, though, was the superb service. Our waiter, Ruslan, went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. His attentiveness, kindness, and thoughtful recommendations added a personal touch that made the evening unforgettable. If you’re looking for a place in Hollywood that combines outstanding food, warm hospitality, and an atmosphere that feels like family, this little restaurant should be at the top of your list.

Food was good and the atmosphere was Nice. Would come back to try other items on the menu. Carbonara was pretty good.

My new favorite place 🍋💛. I had the pleasure to visit and eat at Lemonica and what a great experience! Starting with the atmosphere: the place is just so cozy like being in a nonna’s kitchen in a little town in Italy! You better do you reservation before because it’s so good that’s always full! -Mira-, our lovely server was on point during all our time there, she was caring and kind, and always made sure we were enjoying and comfortable in our table. The food was just something else, the appetizers with the burrata cheese with the pesto and pistachios were amazing!!! And the iconic margarita pizza was just so perfect! We also got the salmon and the pepperoni pizza, a lil bit spicy as it should be! Overall our experience was great and I am coming back way more frequently! 🍋🍋💛💛

I want to say a huge thank you for the warm atmosphere, delicious food, and a wonderful evening! We chose this restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday and didn't regret it for a second! They are wonderful! We loved the aesthetic details, the branded tableware, the decor, and the cozy atmosphere. We decided to try many different dishes. The veal and salmon carpaccio was amazing, and the complimentary bread from the restaurant—we asked for more. The vegetable salad and burrata were very fresh and delicious. The pesto sauce and pistachios in the burrata were an interesting combination. But most of all, we were delighted with the main course! The braised beef ossobuco with homemade pasta was magical! It was the best dish of the evening! Although the pizza and branzino were also delicious! Thanks to the chef, who took into account some of our requests and made the evening even better! And finally, the evening was crowned with a gift from the restaurant—the most delicate dessert for the birthday boy—tiramisu! Complete delight and adoration for the restaurant and the owners! We'll definitely be back again and again and recommend this restaurant to all our friends! Thank you for the cozy and warm atmosphere! A special thank you to our Ukrainian waitress for her excellent service and a wonderful evening!

This place was so cute! We walked in Saturday evening and sat on the patio. We ordered the truffle pizza, the pesto tomato salad and drinks. Everything was so good! People on the street were looking at our food and dreaming of getting a bite! The service was attentive and quick. The design of the place is cute too. They had a guitarist play music on the patio which added to the vibe of the place.

A Mediterranean Musical: When Steak Saves the Show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ACT I: The Rocky Opening Our party of six arrived for our 7 PM reservation to find the table still occupied. The gracious staff offered a smaller table while we waited—a thoughtful touch. Outdoor seating was perfect, despite a thumping park concert across the street that eventually faded. However, getting water required three requests over 30 minutes—a clunky overture that nearly derailed the show (evidently the busser was cast elsewhere…) But patience pays off… ACT II: The Supporting Cast Shines Once server Ruslan hit his stride, the performance dazzled! The Brussels sprouts and Burrata with Mortadella made spectacular opening acts—the burrata deserving a standing ovation. ACT III: Enter the VILLAIN Then came my ravioli, swimming in unexpected bechamel sauce—the creamy antagonist attempting to “end me” with its caloric conspiracy! After hard training in the gym, I couldn’t surrender. (Banished to a to-go box for my son!) ACT IV: THE HERO ARRIVES But then—[cue triumphant music]—the bacon-wrapped filet mignon made its grand entrance! Tender, juicy, seared to PERFECTION with phenomenal vegetables. This magnificent steak SAVED THE SHOW! (🎶 ). The pizzas and pasta (minus that rejected ravioli) earned genuine applause. 👏 ACT V: The Grand Finale The Tiramisu delivered a sleepy closing number—total snooze-fest (suggestion for additions: Limoncello flavor would be amazing - & maybe Lemon Piccata & Lemon Arancini Balls w lemon aioli? I was really searching for “lemon forward” dishes…). Then…PLOT TWIST! The Nutella Calzone with Passion Mango-Fruit sauce swept in like an understudy stealing the show! Initially confounding with its bright fruit sauce (which we requested on side) marshmallows, and chocolate—then suddenly it all makes PERFECT palate sense. Pure culinary jazz! I’d return for this alone (though please torch those marshmallows tableside and serve it piping hot!). The crème brûlée surprised with genuine deliciousness—a pleasant ensemble player. THE VERDICT: Despite the rocky start, Lemonica delivered culinary theater worth experiencing. Top three stars: the HEROIC Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignon, the spectacular Burrata with Mortadella, and that wildly creative Nutella Calzone. Pro tip: Order wine by the bottle—the pours are stingy. The espresso martini was underwhelming too. Will I return? Absolutely. That steak hero deserves an encore! 🎭🥩✨ The bechamel may have tried to take me down, but that steak lifted me right back up. That’s entertainment, folks! 🙌 #LemonicaHollywood #ThatSteakThough #CulinaryTheater #HollywoodFLEats #NutellaCalzoneObsessed #Siggie_E #BechamelJustNo 🙅‍♀️ Not today…

This place is like stepping into an Italian grandma's house in the best way possible. Thanks to Dima we went with the meatball rigatoni with vodka sauce which was flavorful, meatball was tender and pasta surprisingly light. And the tirmasu was exactly what it should be, light and airy! We can't wait to come back for the pizza!

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and excellent service. Johnny our server made few recommendations and they were all excellent. The steamy hot bread, the pizza dough baked to perfection, the chicken cottoleta was delicious, the mash potatoes was ok a bit blend to my taste. The lemoncello ice cream the best and the capuchino too. I can’t wait to come back and taste some of the fresh pasta dishes. 😋🍋✨

Emma Ayala

Johnny was an excellent waiter. This makes it on my top five list of best Italian places in Florida. We got the carbonara and the pepperoni pizza. Both were delicious. Make sure you ask for the fresh bread because it is the best part of the pizza. (The crust) safe to say we will be back. The good quality olive oil they give out put it over the top!

I visited this Italian pizzeria for the first time yesterday, and I was genuinely impressed! The pizza was delicious — thin crust, fresh ingredients, and that real Italian flavor. The atmosphere is cozy and feels like a small corner of Italy. I especially want to mention our waitress Mira — she was incredibly kind, attentive, and always smiling. She recommended the perfect pizza and made my whole experience so comfortable. It’s wonderful to see staff who truly care ❤️ I’ll definitely be coming back!

I felt like I was in Italy. The place had wonderful Italian-style music, a lively atmosphere, and beautiful interior design. The staff was friendly and polite. We ordered white fish, Caesar salad, and pizza. I was pleasantly surprised by the tasty appetizers served while waiting for our food. The portions were quite large — we couldn’t even finish everything and took some with us. Everything was delicious and truly authentic!! I definitely recommend this place and will absolutely come back.

This is our third time at Lemonica in less than two weeks — and that says it all! We absolutely love the warm and attentive service, and the food is incredibly delicious. We’ve tried several dishes, and the pasta is simply outstanding. The pizza is honestly one of the best in Miami — and I’m a true pizza person, so that means a lot! 🍕✨ Everything about this place makes us want to keep coming back. Mira provides excellent service, and the chef Nick is so welcoming. Highly recommend! 👌🍝🇮🇹

It's in the name *taste of itsly", we just got back from Sardinia/Milan trip and the food at Lemonica brings those days back...the pizza is light and flavorful. The cotoletta di pollo milanese was succulent yet cripy..the guitar player, the bar and the vibe. Well done Lemonica and thank you for a memorable evening!

Came here and it lived up to the hype! We ordered the Lemonica Spritz and a glass of Pinot Grigio. Started with the beef carpaccio and had the rigatoni à la vodka (I added chicken) and the mushroom pasta which was unreal. Everything tasted amazing and the whole ambiance is really cute. Will definitely be back. A local gem for sure!

We had a fabulous lunch at Lemonica, after hearing for this cute Italian restaurant for a while, we finally decided to go and we were pleasantly surprised and taken back to like an Italian atmosphere, with the decoration, music and the food ! OMG, best beef carpaccio i ever had in my life ! Plus the pastas, and the very attentive service of our waiter Ruslan. He was very attentive and professional! Highly recommended!

Lemonika is a fantastic Italian restaurant that truly stands out. The food is authentic, fresh, and full of rich Italian flavors — every dish feels thoughtfully prepared and beautifully served. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating options that make the dining experience even more enjoyable. Parking is very convenient: the restaurant offers free parking for the first 2.5 hours, and there is also public parking nearby that is completely free. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I had a wonderful time here and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great Italian cuisine and excellent service!

We absolutely loved Lemonica! The place is cozy, the drinks and food are delicious, and everything feels so fresh. But the highlight was the service — Ruslan took amazing care of us.

What a lovely place! Truly an Italian feel and our server Ruslan was so great and even recommended a pasta dish that I loved even more than the “typical” dish I would order. It was such a great experience overall, only thing is I’m sad we missed out on the live music that started around 7pm!

Amazing experience!!! Olga was super knowledgeable and recommended great dishes. Loved the classic Margherita, gorgonzola & cheese, and gorgonzola & pear pizzas. The classic bolognese was also incredible. Everything was delicious, great service and atmosphere.❤️

We have been coming to Lemonica plenty of times and Jay was absolutely phenomenal! He was so attentive with our table and also took his time. We didn’t feel rushed. Dinner as always was a 10/10, we had the cesar salad, gazpacho, and a filling Margherita pizza I would absolutely recommend this filling meal. The drinks are also absolutely amazing!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Everything was amazing! The food, drinks, and desserts were absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect. J, our server, was super friendly and very helpful with the recommendations everything he suggested was spot on. Plus, they’re super dog-friendly, which made the experience even better! This place officially became my favorite spot in Hollywood Beach. 🍝🍋🐶✨

Hands down the best Italian food I've ever had in South Florida. The pasta is fresh and tasty. The braised beef ossobuco is to die for. Service and atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Great mid-week date night spot. Wine selection is wonderful. Just go, you won't regret it - stop reading this review and book your table!

Very homie style food, the flavors were definitely there. Live music was a plus and everyone was nice and service was attentive. I did feel my server just wanted to go through the motions and get my order done as soon as possible. Will go just wish the server took advantage of how great the place is.

My husband and I had a delicious dinner at Lemonica with even better service from Ruslan. The rigatoni was incredible! Would totally recommend the crème brûlée.

¡Excelente experiencia! 👏 Quiero destacar especialmente al mesero Jay, que hizo de nuestra visita algo excepcional. Es uno de los pocos que hablan español en el restaurante, y gracias a eso pudimos comunicarnos perfectamente. Mis padres y yo nos sentimos muy cómodos, bien atendidos y súper agradecidos por su amabilidad, paciencia y atención a cada detalle. 🙌 ¡Gracias, Jay, por hacer la diferencia! Sin duda, volveremos por la comida… y por el servicio de primera.

Excelente lugar de pastas como si estuvieras en Italia. Nos atendió Ruslan muy amable y atento. Me encantó la ambientación todo con motivo de limones. Al comienzo nos trajeron de entrada unas olivas negras y focaccia. Pedimos pasta a la carbonara, valió es de muzzarela y espinacas y pastas con frutos de mar, todo exquisito! De postre pedimos tiramisú y tenía una cremosidad increíble! Sin dudas regresaremos!

What a beautiful Italian restaurant! The place feels so cozy, almost like being at a nonna’s house. Jhonny took care of us in such a warm and special way—he recommended amazing dishes that we truly enjoyed. The pizza and carbonara pasta were full of authentic Italian flavor, but the real star was the tiramisu… simply unforgettable! Can’t wait to go back. 🌟 ¡Qué restaurante italiano tan hermoso! El lugar es súper acogedor, de verdad se siente como estar en la casa de una nonna. La atención de Jhonny fue especialísima, nos hizo sentir muy bien y nos recomendó platos deliciosos. La pizza y la pasta carbonara estaban llenas de sabor auténtico, pero el tiramisú… ¡inolvidable! Sin duda quiero volver pronto.

ambiente muy acogedor, comida muy sabrosa y porciones generosas y con un excelente servicio del staff, por parte del mesero Ruslan. Lamentablemente quedamos muy llenos y no nos quedó espacio para el tiramisú… será para la próxima

Lemonica is a very good Italian restaurant in Hollywood. We went with our two kids and the staff was wonderful with them, they brought small games to keep them entertained and served their pasta early, which was a great gesture. The food was excellent, and the service was attentive and friendly. Be aware that the restaurant automatically adds a 20% tip to the bill without asking, regardless of party size, so check your receipt carefully.

This small Italian restaurant offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere with outdoor seating. The food is just as warm and inviting, with a comforting and homey flavor. However, I removed one star for the ossobuco, it was soft and pleasant, but lacked flavor. The wine was also not to my taste. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

In the heart of Hollywood, this Italian restaurant offers a variety of southern Mediterranean specialties in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We tried the Porcini Fettuccine which was pretty tasty and the Branzino which we did not enjoy as it felt not fresh. In general, the waitstaff were not very attentive.

So… this restaurant wasn’t it for me but it’s decent. The atmosphere was very beautiful, they’re in a great spot space-wise. My friend and I were seated but it took a while to get a server since their outside seating was pretty busy. We got Anastasia as a server and she was pretty good. The food was okay, nothing that I would come back for. I had the beef bolognese and my friend had the meatballs. Presentation is cute and everything but like I said, the food wasn’t something I’d come back for. Total was just over $10and that’s without ordering alcohol, it was overpriced in my opinion. I can’t lie though, the appetizers are pretty fresh, but the food was not worth the hype girls!

Food looked better online than when eating it. Nice place but will not visit again. Table ordered the mushroom pasta and the seafood pasta and both did not have that much flavor. Also had the Proscuitto Cotto pizza and that was the best part of the meal. The live music was a nice touch. Service was just okay.

​Stay Away: How Lemonica Ruined Our Anniversary Dinner ​I recently went to Lemonica for an anniversary dinner and it was easily the worst experience we have ever had. We had a reservation and were seated right away, but then we sat there for 25 minutes before a single person even spoke to us. I tried waving down several staff members who just looked at me and kept walking like we weren't even there. ​When I finally got someone to acknowledge us, they told me they weren't our waiter and didn't even know who our waiter was. This young guy eventually took our drink and dinner orders just to "help out," which felt incredibly disorganized for a place like this. ​We specifically asked if they had a kids menu or smaller portions for children. They said yes and we ordered a meal for our child along with two entrees for ourselves. When the food finally showed up, both my wife’s and my child’s dishes were cold. To top it off, when the check came, they charged us the full adult price for the kids portion. Even though it was a visibly smaller plate and looked nothing like the adult version my wife ordered, they acted like they never told us there were children's options to begin with. ​Between being ignored for a half hour, being served cold food, and the dishonest move with the bill at the end, this was a total disaster. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else if you’re celebrating something special
