    We hadn’t dined at San Lorenzo for awhile and we were so pleased upon our return to find that the restaurant was even better than we remembered! The service was wonderful, thoughtful and professional - the greeting upon entering the restaurant was welcoming, the atmosphere charming and relaxed, not rushed or pushy. The food was superb - Amazing pasta and the fish was perfect. The deserts even tempted us! Thank you to the entire team! We highly recommend a visit to San Lorenzo!
