I'm from NY and grew up with my Italian great grandmother making family dinners - Lorna's really tasted so nostalgic and comforting! The ambiance is very casual and cozy, and the service is very attentive.
The portions are very big so be careful not to over-order!

$20 for some mid pasta and a drink. I got the tortellini- a few pieces of pasta covered in a bland tomato meat sauce
Based on the reviews, I was excited to try this restaurant. Unfortunately it wasn’t a good experience. They sat us in the back in the corner by the kitchen. We ordered a glass of wine and it was in a water glass? That’s first time drinking wine from a water glass.
We ordered a bruschetta. It was very garlicky and way too much balsamic vinaigrette. We also ordered several pasta dishes. My son didn’t even eat his linguine with meat sauce after one bite. I got clam with linguine. The texture was hard and no flavor at all. Clams were from a can which obviously wasn’t fresh. I told the waiter about it. He took my pasta to the kitchen and modified it. It turned out to be salty, spicy and a bit sour. I couldn’t eat it at all. By far, that’s the worst Italian food I’ve had in San Diego (Yes, I’ve been to Italy and I’ve had lots of Italian food in SD). They seem pretty busy though so maybe we ordered wrong dishes?

I’m giving a star for the waiter’s service trying to make my pasta taste better.

Love the food and service is great! Great Italian comfort food, good sized portions for the price. My favorite is the homemade cannelloni.
We recently had our wedding and had Lornas Cater it. Ethan was super helpful and friendly throughout the whole process. The food was amazing! All of our guests enjoyed it! He gave us more than enough food that we had a bunch left over for our guest to take home. Let me tell you when people heard they could take some to go they were on it! Huge thank you to Ethan and his crew for a great dinner!
