Wingman Metrics
You walk into a warm Palm Beach Gardens Italian spot and expect the usual suspects — Chianti, maybe a Pinot Grigio, call it a night. Then the wine list lands and suddenly you're staring at Giacomo Conterno, Biondi-Santi, and Sassicaia in a strip-mall-adjacent restaurant off PGA Boulevard. This place is not messing around.
Limoncello has quietly assembled one of the most serious Italian lists in South Florida, earning a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2025 — and it shows. The Piedmont section alone justifies a visit, with Barolo from Bruno Giacosa, Gaja, Ceretto, and Vietti sitting alongside Conterno for those who want to go deep. Tuscany holds its own with the full Super Tuscan trifecta — Sassicaia, Tignanello, and Ornellaia — plus Chianti Classico Riserva from Antinori and Felsina for drinkers who don't need to flex. Whites get less love but La Scolca's Gavi di Gavi is a smart, honest pick that keeps the list from being a pure red-wine temple.
With 15-25 pours on offer, the by-the-glass program is legitimately strong for an Italian restaurant of this size. You're not just choosing between house Pinot Grigio and house Chianti — there's real range here. The daily half-price wine promotion changes the math entirely, making a solid glass pour an almost unreasonable deal.
Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva — $40-$60 est.
Felsina is one of Chianti's most consistent producers and chronically underpriced relative to what's in the glass. On a half-price night, this is practically theft.
La Scolca Gavi di Gavi
Everyone's ordering Barolo and ignoring the white side of the list. La Scolca's Gavi is crisp, mineral, and built for the Vongole Posillipo — it's the move most tables miss entirely.
Masi Amarone della Valpolicella
Masi is a reliable producer but it's also the most widely distributed Amarone in the country. You can find it at your local wine shop for less. With Allegrini also on the list, the better Amarone pick is right there.
Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino + Handmade Pasta
Casanova di Neri's Brunello has the structure to stand up to a rich ragu or braised meat pasta without bulldozing it — it's generous enough to drink young but complex enough to make a handmade pasta feel like a proper occasion.
Daily — Half-price wine every day — applies to the full wine list, making this one of the better wine deals in Palm Beach County.
The Bottom Line
For a neighborhood Italian in Palm Beach Gardens, Limoncello is punching well above its weight — a focused, Italy-only list with serious producers, fair prices, and a daily half-price program that makes drinking well here almost too easy. Send your friends here, but warn them: the Barolo section is a rabbit hole.

La Masseria is the rare PGA Boulevard restaurant that earns its wine credibility through the actual list, not just the ambiance. The pricing is what it is at this tier, but if Italian wine is your thing, this is one of the better rooms in South Florida to drink it.

· Lincoln · Italian
Lincoln Ristorante is doing something genuinely unusual: running a wine list in central Nebraska that would hold its own in most major American cities. The Italian focus is deep and well-curated, the by-the-glass program gives you real options, and the pricing — particularly on the reds — is fair enough that you won't feel punished for ordering well. If you're in Lincoln and you care about wine, this is the only room that answers that call.

Il Tavolo isn't trying to be a wine destination, and that's fine — it's a reliable Italian spot with fair pours, sensible pricing, and enough range to keep the table happy. If you're in Jersey City and want a glass of Chianti that won't cost you a car payment, this is a safe and honest bet.

Sorellina has done something genuinely weird here — built an all-dessert-wine list and committed to it fully, with enough range and producer credibility to make it worth taking seriously. If you are coming here expecting a broad Italian bottle list to drink through dinner, adjust your expectations before you walk in. But if you want to spend an evening exploring Italian sweet wines poured by the glass at prices that do not insult you, this is one of the more interesting niche programs in the area.
