We have over 100 restaurants in the No. End & if there are 15 Italian Chefs in the Neighborhood cooking, that
is a miracle. Limoncello 2 has a chef from Naples, Italy & what a plus that is for the neighborhood. Great
food, atmosphere, music & an outstanding staff, thanks to Susan Lopez, daughter of Joe Lopez, who most
No. End residents are familiar with. Joe had Joseph’s Aquarium, Joseph’s in the Mercantile Bldg. & Joe’s on High,
which was located on High St. Boston. The fruit does not fall far from the tree, Susan is an excellent asset to
Limoncello 2 & I wish them the best. Kudos to you SUSAN.
