I have been to a lot of Michelin star restaurants including in Italy. I have to say that the food at San Lorenzo in terms of taste is even better than some of the Michelin star restaurants in Italy. Of course the ambiance and service is not up to par but it's not meant to be. This restaurant is not too loud and it's quite a cozy atmosphere away from the bar. The food is excellent and the pasta seems to be freshly made in house. I was extremely surprised by the quality. The service was very good as well. I strongly recommend this place, it is a hidden gem.

Fantastic food. The fried squash blossoms and the tortelli were phenomenal! My partner loved the fried calamari salad and pappardelle as well. Excellent and fast service.

Came in for lunch on a Saturday and had just a great experience. I ordered the combo - prosciutto sandwich (so good!) and the cauliflower soup (incredible!). Service was amazing - I couldn’t recommend San Lorenzo more. Must try.
