February 6, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 19 Brothers Jimmy and Remmy Qosja invite everyone who needs a treat to visit Limoncello Ristorante for a fine lunch or dinner in a relaxing atmosphere. Named for the popular Italian beverage, this still-new eatery is conveniently located at 32 Franklin Turnpike on Waldwick’s “Golden Block.” (Long-time area residents know the location as the former site of Cathay Chinese Restaurant.) Although Limoncello Ristorante will not celebrate its first anniversary until the spring, Jimmy and Remmy have been in the restaurant business for many years. The brothers have been involved in their family’s Livingston-based restaurant, Il Vicolo, for just over 15 years. The brothers chose Waldwick as the home for their new restaurant knowing that people in this area appreciate high quality food and service. Limoncello is family owned and operated, and the staff works overtime to ensure that each customer leaves happy. Diners can look forward to fresh food, good prices, and professional service. Limoncello Ristorante seats 75 to 100 diners, and catering is available both in-house and off-site. Jimmy and Remmy invite anyone who is planning a corporate event, business lunch, private party, Christening, bar or bat mitzvah, or other special occasion to call for details. The lunch menu includes appetizers such as calamari friti, a popular selection, and mozzarella caprese, which includes mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, roasted peppers, and basil. Entrée salads include grilled chicken served with Romaine, tomatoes, onions, olives, gorgonzola cheese, and balsamic dressing.
