San Lorenzo serves exceptional Italian food in a bustling atmosphere that reminds guests of warm, tucked-away trattorias. Portions vary, but dishes like ravioli and Fiori di Zucca (fried zucchini blossoms) are tasty and satisfying, with the latter being a favorite for its delicate, crisp texture and fresh tomato sauce. The staff is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, providing great recommendations and prompt service. They have found perfect solutions for accommodating larger parties and last-minute reservations. Guests can enjoy outdoor seating, especially on warm nights, with highlights including the amazing food and service. The menu features specials like seafood linguini and papardelle with rabbit ragu, all praised for their flavor. Desserts like peach cobbler and gelato are highly recommended. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for a special night out, with low light, brick walls, and warm energy that creates a classic “date night in Italy” vibe. Noise levels can be high, but the quality of food and service makes it worth a visit. Guests should note the policy that bills increase by 4% if paying with a credit card, so paying cash or using a debit card is advised. Overall, San Lorenzo is an excellent spot for top-notch Italian cuisine, although some have suggested that portion sizes could be slightly larger for the price.
