I made this cake for my cousin's birthday. It combined two of his culinary loves, lemon and cheesecake. He LOVED it. He said it was the best cheesecake that he ever ate - and he has eaten a lot of them.
Thank you for sharing this recipe, Giada! As usual, it did not disappoint!!!

Made it last night and everyone raved about it. Didn't change a thing. Light, not too sweet, great subtle lemon flavor but you have to use Lemoncello. Can't imagine how lemon juice would give it the beautiful flavor. Wasn't grainy but I did use a food processor. I think that is the trick. The crust wasn't too greasy at all. It even tastes great frozen if you ever have any leftovers. Easy to take out of pan too. You can tell I loved this!

I have made this several times and have even made it with Splenda. It always turns out terrific!

Love this recipe. I first tasted this recipe at a party when my sister-in-law made it. I had to try it myself, and have made it several times since. It's so light and creamy, and the video is very helpful. I used Anise Biscotti (anisette biscotti and it makes for a delicious crust! Just a note, it's important to make sure all ingredients are room temperature, and the ricotta is drained overnight. This makes a difference in the consistency of the cheesecake.

I have made this many times and everyone enjoys it. The Biscotti crust is a nice touch and because a blender is used, the texture of the cheescake is smooth

I made this for work and everyone loved it. It wasn't overwhelmed with alcohol taste - perhaps the brand of limoncello wasn't that great for others. I'm adding more limoncello and removing the zest as I don't think I liked the texture of it in the cheesecake. Biscotti crust is a great idea!

Sooooo Yummy! My boyfriend is Sicilian (the birthplace of Limoncello and they don't typically eat cheesecake there...but he and his family absolutely LOVE this dessert. They even had me convert the measurements to grams and mL so that they could make it overseas. Giada is the best!

I made this for my cousin's graduation party and the taste was not what I expected. At first I thought it was going to be a great hit with all the 5-star ratings, but I suppose this recipe isn't for me. It was way too sweet and it had this burning taste of alcohol. It was my first attempt, so maybe I made an error in something. But if I were to make this again, I would put in about 1 cup of sugar instead of 1 1/4 cups :

Made this for Easter Buffet, it was easy and great, but unless the guests have different tastes and not the same old stuff, don"t do it. I loved it and will make it again. I had homemade Limoncello, and it really had a kick and it got better as the days went on.

We made this for Easter and it was just not right for us. Maybe I had high expectations because of the raving reviews, but no one took more than one bite - the initial taste was great, but then the strong very taste of alcohol took away from the lemon. If I were to make it again, it would be with lemon juice instead...not limoncello.

I usually love Giada's recipes, but not this one!
