Answer

Not true.

Work Step by Step

This not true. The counterexample is $$f(x,y)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} \frac{\sin xy}{xy},&(x,y)\neq(0,0);\\ 0,&(x,y)=(0,0). \end{array}\right.$$ This function is continuous in every point when $x$ and $y$ are nonzero as a quotient of continuous functions $\sin xy$ and $xy$ but it limit is $$\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)}\frac{\sin xy}{xy} =1$$ which is different than $f(0,0)=0.$
