    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!

    I made Giada's limoncello recipe then used it in these squares. It is easy to buy limoncello at the liquor store too. They are awesome. I have had made them many times. I've received compliments on them and made for a couple of parties. Thanks for sharing this one.

    Not only was this easy to make, it was really fun! I followed the recipe, but used lemon juice instead of limoncello. This cheesecake was so lemony and perfect. This is definitely a new favorite!

    I needed to make a dessert ahead of time for a weekend party and came across this receipe. I was not sure if I would like the limoncello, but it really gave the squares a unique flavor. It was perfect to make ahead of time- they came out flawless and everyone raved about how good they were- especially the biscotti crust!

    My husband and I had a limoncello cheesecake made with ricotta cheese and an almond biscotti crust during a weekend getaway at a very nice, upscale restaurant. I thought about writing to a cooking magazine that often obtains recipes at readers' requests as the dessert was so unique and so incredible. However, I decided to search the Food Network website first, and there it was! I made the cheesecake today and it certainly did not disappoint us! We are true lemon lovers, so I also added a 1/2 t. of pure lemon extract. The restaurant served the cheesecake in mini (individual springform pans, so I will try that next time, now that I know the recipe was a success and the flavor I was looking for. This recipe has a wonderful texture and flavor -- it's definitely one I will make over and over again.
