Cafe Trattoria Limone, located on the on the corner of E Wardlow Rd and Orange Ave, is a great family-run, Italian eatery. My favorite kind of place in Bixby Knolls. If you’re in the mood for great pasta, it’s worth checking out.

When you first walk in the front door you have the choice of sitting at the large L-shaped wood kitchen counter, which seats 8 people. Or you can wait for a regular table. If it’s packed, there are also two tables in the kitchen half of the restaurant. The atmosphere is very cozy, just perfect for small groups or couples.

When I go there for dinner, I order their Tagliatelle alla Bolognese. I know, I know, it’s not very exciting, but I just love this dish.

And while you wait, they serve hot crispy garlic bread and fresh bruscetta. Their menu has all of your Italian favorites, such as Lasagna, Cannelloni, Manicotti, Fettucini, and much more. As much as I like the Spaghetti, it’s hard to resist menu items that feature Applewood bacon, fresh spinach, ricotta cheese and creme sauces.

Along with beer and some other drinks, they serve 13 different red and white wines. You even have the option to bring your own and pay a reasonable corkage fee.

With prices ranging from $4.95 for appetizers and $14.95 for entrees, it’s a tasty and affordable restaurant to take the whole family. Trattoria offers great food, cooked fresh every day by the owner. You can’t ask for more.

They don’t take reservations, but they do serve large parties for special occasions. I’ve tried to get a table several times during the rush and I’ve noticed that they really take care of their customers.

I have to say, Cafe Trattoria Limone is probably the best dinner restaurant in Bixby Knolls. if you plan on check it out, be prepared to wait in line.

But, believe me, it’s well worth the wait.
