The Lemon Tree

The Lemon Tree Review

If Italy had old school luncheonettes, this is what they'd look like: a storefront of yellow walls, dark-green booths, white linoleum tables, and cascading sconces of faux ivy leaves and hand-painted Tuscan serving pieces for artwork. It's self-described by the husband-wife owners (who are always at the front) as an "upscale diner," and locals swear by it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (breakfast only on Sunday), so expect a short wait in season at peak hours. There's always a treat on the house, like a glass of sorbet to finish lunch, and don't miss the shrimp scampi after 11 am—the sauce is so good, you'll want to dip every bit of the fresh focaccia in it.
