Casa Limone makes a case for serious Italian food in Goa by bringing a focused, chef-led approach to Italian cuisine in the state. The format combines classical Italian technique with coastal flavour profiles.
Executive Chef Shardul Nigam leads the hotel’s culinary direction, known for his expertise in menu innovation and in building disciplined, high-performing kitchen ecosystems that balance creativity with operational precision. At Casa Limone, Chef Alessio Cosma Amodio brings a focused expression of coastal Italian cuisine, drawing from his experience across European kitchens and grounding his approach in regional traditions, with a strong emphasis on ingredient integrity and sourcing.
Casa Limone’s menu is structured around established Italian culinary formats, with starters including Burrata Pugliese, Tonno Tonnato, Gamberi Genovese, Arancini and Truffle Bomboloni, alongside Neapolitan-style pizzas such as Scamorza & Truffle, Prosciutto Crudo and Diavola. Handmade pastas and risottos are a defining part of the menu, featuring Spaghetti Limone e Gamberi, Tortellini all’Astice, Risotto ai Frutti di Mare and Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, while main courses like Branzino con Patate, Aragosta alla Griglia and Agnello Milanese reflect both coastal and inland Italian cooking, ending with classic desserts including Tiramisù, Cannoli Amalfi and Torta Ricotta al Limone.
The restaurant’s interiors draw on Mediterranean whites, citrus accents and natural materials, with minimal references to the Amalfi coast, while supporting functionality and service flow in line with the culinary focus rather than acting as a thematic statement. At Casa Limone, the space reflects coastal Italian dining through southern Italian and Mediterranean cues, using citrus tones, whitewashed surfaces, tiled textures and natural materials to create an environment that is recognisably Italian and distinctly regional, reinforcing authenticity across both food and setting.
Located in Arpora, Casa Limone offers a dining experience shaped by both place and perspective – where coastal Italian flavours meet the rhythm of Goa.
