    I was gifted with a bottle of Villa Massa limoncello, which I've finished to the very last drop.

    Does anyone know where to get this in Chicago? Or, can you suggest a store that might carry a good variety of italian liquors?

    I'm hankering for some more.

    Thanks.

    I saw some last weekend at Sam's at North/Clyborn.

    Not sure if it is the same brand.

    Thanks for the tip about Sam's. I looked on line, and they don't list it as one of the brands that they carry. I haven't tried one of the brands they have, so if my search is fruitless (lemon that is), I may resort to that later...

    It's really easy to make your own, and I like mine better than any I've had except the housemade at La Piazza (now closed). I think the recipe I use is attributed to Mario Batali.

    I've tried making my own, also with Mario Batali's recipe, and it turned out all right. I enjoyed it much more, though, when I mixed it 50-50 with a store-bought brand. The only one I've bought so far is called Gioia Luisa. Where I live I've only seen this and maybe two other brands in the store. Does anyone have a favorite?
