A Little Piece Of Napoli In Orange County!
Who we are?
We are two Italian guys who came to California to follow the American dream. We were both born and raised in Napoli, the origin and home of the best limoncello. We share the same values & traditions and our mission is to bring a little piece of Napoli to Orange County.
We were given the opportunity to work here in California at several amazing establishments. During our time working, we were encouraged by many guests and friends to open our own little business. When it was finally our time, we chose “Limoncello Cafe” to honor and impart the values and flavors of our home, here in Orange County. We hope to take you on a tour of Italy through our amazing dishes and beverages.
Now, you may ask, “What is limoncello and what does it mean to us Napoletani?”
Limoncello is an Italian lemon liqueur. It is produced in Southern Italy in the Gulf of Naples, the Sorrentine Peninsula, the coast of Amalfi, and the three islands of Naples (Procida-Ischia-Capri)
Limoncello is made by steeping lemon zest (peels) in highly concentrated ethanol or vodka until the oil is released (1 to 4 weeks), then mixing the resulting yellow liquid with simple syrup. When the water is replaced with milk, the result is creamy limoncello.
Limoncello is a delicious stand alone liqueur, as well as an exceedingly versatile culinary tool. Chefs around the world use limoncello to create amazing dishes including homemade pastas, limoncello sauces, cakes and desserts. Bartenders use limoncello to create unique cocktails or to end a fantastic dinner with a “digestivo,” a shot of pure limoncello.
Limoncello is more than just a drink to us Napoletani. It’s an opportunity to share special moments with family and friends, to create happy memories and to give your day a great start or end.
