Excellent artisan pizzas, and if you want to know what real marsala sauce tastes like and you are luck enough to go when it's one of their specials, get it, you won't regret it. Salad and bread are ordinary, but their shine on whatever specials they have for the day. Skip the menu and just order from the specials board. It's the best in the house.

So-So Food – I walked in with my party around 8pm on a Tuesday night, and it was semi-busy. There only seemed to be one waiter doing everything from seating, taking orders, serving the food and bussing tables, which was fine. He did a good job, although his service was definitely rushed. We ordered our entrees and were given a salad and some bread. The dressing on the salad was watery and the chunks of lettuce were MASSIVE. Trying to cut them on such a small plate = salad all over the table. The bread wasn't anything special... read more

i will never go back that is for sure – I love Italian food and that what make me visit this restaurant with my wife last weekend. the welcome was very cold for being Italian restaurant even though Italian music was playing . the service was below normal but what cut my eyes and ears is the way how this man and i think his the owner acting so uncivilized with his staff cursing cussing and screaming at all of them and you can hear every thing, it was disgusting to see some one traits his workers that way, and then my food was... read more

so-so – I live near the area. Was so hungry and craving for some pasta. I googled and found this quaint resto. When i entered the place, there were two couples inside eating. I ordered their sauteed mushrooms and capellini. It was okay--kindah watery tho. The servers were okay but they did not even bothered to ask if i needed water. All in all, i think its a nice place for young couples--- place is kind of romantic at night (with italian songs playing in the background) and budget friendly too.

The BEST ITALIAN Hole-In-the-Wall Joint west of Italy!!! – I have been to Lorenzo's a few times, and every time i go - i leave there delightfully full and IMPRESSED. This last time we went on Friday, and were treated exceptionally well by our waiter for the evening, Rudy, whose recommendation of not bothering to open my menu, was odd at first but turned out to be a delightful way of him describing the on-board specials of the evening. I went with the Shrimp Corinna, which was breaded shrimp in a rich and super delicious lemo... read more

This family-run business is a joke – The food isn't bad,...but it isn't good and the chef isn't really Italian! He likes to talk like he is, which is confusing because he's speaking with an Italian accent. What's funnier and even more pompous is the fact that Patricia, his ex-wife who works for him because she can't get a job anywhere else thinks she's even more Italian than he is. (She's not. At all.) They live in fantasy world up there, and the entire show is disfunctional as hell. The place is packed with chairs and table... read more

STOP COMPLAINING! – I absolutely love Lorenzo's! I go there at LEAST once a week for lunch and I am so glad I found this small little restaurant. The food is great and it's cheap. I'm reading some of yalls complaints, and really your probably just fabricating the story. I know the manager/chef & he does a pretty damn good job. As far as the lady who said all of her food was stale and so was the bread, why in god's name would you order a desert if your food was so bad? Wouldn't you assume that "oh, my bread was stale... my sp... read more

More a pizza joint than ristorante..... – As a disclaimer, as far as Italian ristorante's are concerned, I grew up in New York and recently spent 4 years living in Italy, so I can judge italian ristorante's a little harsh. But even with putting the "living it Italy" aside, Lorenzo's was more like a neighborhood pizza place in NY that a restaurant...or ristorante. The place is really small and quaint.....not much of a romantic place. Nothing on the menu really jumped out at me. As the place struck me as more of a pizza place,... read more

Vegetarians have it kind of hard in this city, espeically if the spouse is a die hard carnivore. But at Lorenzo's everyone can leave happy and still have enough money for a movie afterwards. The generous portions of pasta ( chicken alfredo for you canrivores- or the ziti and marinara for the vegetarians) may mean you'll be taking home some leftovers. The menu has tons of options for the vegetarians (veggie to the max pizza, lots of pastas and some old world favorites like lasagna for the carnivores). The salad is fresh and p... read more
