| Post subject: | Limoncello- Sabores de Italia |
This is an excellent little Italian restaurant located in Barrio California. Limoncello is a cozy location to romance your favorita while enjoying an exceptional meal. I ordered the House Special Espegueti Carbonara (great for hardening those cornary arteries). The flavor was full and all the ingredients were fresh...the pasta was cooked to perfection. Novia #2 ordered the Lomito smothered in gorganzola and mushroom sauce. After tasting it, I realized I should have done likewise. I have never eaten a better filet anywhere in San Jose. The meat was tender, and the delicious sauce complemented the slight hint of charcoal. The cuenta for 2 came to 17,000...not bad for overpriced SJ. The details: Phone: 257-6616 Hours: Monday - Saturday 11:45 am to 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm to 10:30 pm. Located in Barrio La California behind the Magaly Cinema Directions to the taxista: "En Barrio La California, detras del Cine Magaly, 25 metros al este, junto al Parqueo Alma Roca" Plenty of parking on the street and in the lot. |

Blue, Did you notice if they have Lemoncello in the bar. My redneck buddy in the Carib likes the stuff, thought I could hit the place for an afternoon refresco. |

They do have lemoncello at the bar, and I rec'd one on the house after dinner, so i'm assuming that is standard practice. |

I dislike lemon cookies. Lemoncello 10 Lemons peeled no rind (causes bitterness) 1 Ltr. Good Vodka Let sit for 14 days covered in a ceramic or stainless steel bowl Day 15 Make a simple syrup 1 ltr of water 2 lbs of sugar bring to a boil dissolve sugar until clear, cool and add to vodka and lemon peel and let sit for 1 day. Remove lemon peel, use old wine bottles or whatever (clean and sterile) fill and place in freezer. |

A barmaid told me that what we call lemons can be found in some stores in CR and are called "limones criollos". They are said to cost quite a bit more. I haven't run into them here, but the Mas X Menos I usually frequent isn't exactly a fancy place catering to foreigners. |

Found limones criollos at the Pavas feria yesterday. They were small light green on the outside. Bought a bag of 25 for 500 colones. Tried them today when making my Sunday football bloody marys. The flesh is green like a lime but the taste is almost the same as the citrus lemons you get in the US. All in all I would say they are a big improvement in things like fish, shrimp, etc. dishes where you normally use lemon. |

HolaB, I just bottled 2.5 litres of lemoncello that I made based of your recipe. When it got cold enough in the freezer, I sampled it. Superior.The cost was about $18 dollars including big lemons, vodka and sugar. Thanks again. I may look for an Amaretto recipe next. |

El Viejo, Glad you're enjoying the homebrew. Beats the heck out of $24/Ltr off the shelf stuff. You can experiment with your favorite lemon enhanced vodka such as Absolut Citron on Kettle Limon. Also, using Spanish Clementines makes a nice Orangecello. Acouple of well timed shots will make a kitten purr.....meow

Thanks. I will try the Amaretto recipe too. I presume that I should make a big batch since it needs two months to 'cure'. Molto grazie. Tutto e bene. |
