I googled Restaurants near me and one Restaurant caught my attention...It was just a few blocks away...Lorenzo 's Cafe Espresso Ristorante Italiano. I arrived at the BYOB Restaurant at 4741 Princeton Ave. and was seated at a small table by my server, Christina... Lorenzos has a family oriented atmosphere and it seemed like everyone who entered knew each other. They all seemed happy to see each other and the Chef and Chistina welcomed them all individually ! The Chef even pulled up a chair to one table to welcome his friends...I felt at home here. A house salad came out with a house dressing and seasoned olive oil and bread that helped prepare me to order. I started with something new to me. Eggplant Caprese, fried eggplant topped with fresh mozzarella, tomato, roasted red pepper and basil. The three slices of eggplant were breaded fried and topped with roasted red pepper, fresh mozzarella and basil. The crispness of the warm eggplant contrasted well with the chilled mozzarella, roasted pepper and tomato...The fresh basil made it wonderful ! For my main course, I chose, The Sinatra... shrimp and lump crab meat tossed with penne and a lobster cream sauce. It was WONDERFUL ! It was loaded with shrimp and the cream sauce had plenty of lobster! When desert was offered, I had to decline... I was stuffed... The next week I was in the neighborhood and I had to stop in again ! Christina remembered my name and welcomed me back ! Lorenzo 's is a place I will continue to explore !
Everything super super fresh. Family owned and operated made the service friendly and outstanding. Awesome food, the gravy was perfect. Garlic bread was like the best I've ever had. Chicken was tender and juicy. Everything just perfect. We will definitely be back!! Glad we found this neighborhood gem! .
Cute little place that we just stumbled upon... after trying a new church out of our neighborhood. It's a small neighborhood type coffee shop, that also serves breakfast and lunch. Our part my of 5 just came in for coffee and cakes. We ended up trying a few cappuccinos and some espresso. It all was topped with whipped cream and tasted delicious! The staff was friendly and very helpful. We hadnt realized that we came late and they were About to close- and the staff continued to be nice and suggested items for us to try. We also ordered a few cakes to share and ordered a lemon cake And chocolate mousse cake. Prob the tastiest and moist cakes I've ever eaten. I know we found this little gem on accident and would definitely be returning when we come back down this way in the future.
This place is so awesome, food is excellent, staff is so friendly and warm, just like being with family!!! Excellent service, excellent people and excellent food!!! I'd recommend this place to anyone!!!!
Went to dinner with the hubby on a Wednesday night. Meatballs are incredible as mentioned in other reviews. We got them as an app with cheesy garlic bread and smashed those suckers on there. Hubby had chicken parm, a bit on the thicker side, but super tender. I had the chicken Angelina: chicken breast; roasted peppers; prosciutto; provolone; asparagus; light white wine sauce. It was light and delicious. There was a bit of a wait time between courses for food to settle and grab dessert. Not a horrible wait. Reason being per the chef was everything is made fresh to order. Limencello cake was great. We will be returning and I suggest you go!
