Limoncello at the Orange Inn, located in Goshen, NY, is a remarkable establishment that opened in August 2006 under the stewardship of brothers Luigi and Victor Kapiti.

The Orange Inn, dating back to 1790, is steeped in history, making it a significant landmark in Goshen. Over the years, it has played host to numerous notable figures, particularly during the Revolutionary War era. Among its distinguished guests were prominent individuals such as George Washington and the celebrated actor James Cagney. Furthermore, during the Civil War, the inn served as a sanctuary for escaped enslaved people, adding to its rich narrative.
The building is built on the foundations of an old prison, which lends an intriguing layer to its storied past.
