About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
Created by the founders of El Tiempo Cantina, Houston’s First Family of Tex Mex, Laurenzo’s Restaurant features the other side of their family’s Italian, Mexican and American Culinary Heritage. The menu, one of the largest in the city, is packed with recipes dating back generations, and includes fresh Gulf Seafood, Prime Rib, and home-made pasta. If you’re in the mood for good ‘old home-style cooking’ made from scratch daily with the freshest of ingredients, then Laurenzo’s is your place. The family has been cooking with love in Houston for over three generations, just the way their matriarch Mama Ninfa Laurenzo taught them.

    Lauren I’d always delivers a prime experience. They make you feel like you have been coming there forever, in a good way. Their prime rib is fantastic and their horseradish is nice and hot! The bar is where my husband and I usually sit and they have nice big TVs for sports. Service is great! Definitely recommend!!

    Ordered from the Mardi Gras celebration menu Redfish topped with crab with a side of broccollini . I’ve never had a bad meal at Laurenzo’s. Everything on their menu is delicious and consistent.

    Excellent night celebrating my mom’s 80th birthday. The service staff are amazing and they treated her like a queen - and as always the food was fantastic. That’s why Laurenzo’s is our family favorite.

    Henry greeted us as we came in to celebrate the our new salon it was sweet and very much appreciated! Adam was our waiter and he was very accommodating and very attentive and over all a delight to have him as our waiter. I will definitely be coming back more often with more business. The restaurant as a whole was very clean and great environment.

    This restaurant was very disappointing. We were expecting a nice valentine’s weekend meal, but service was disappointing. Not very attentive even though the restaurant wasn’t overly busy. Food was served lukewarm and almost cold. Most of the food tasted ok but the Oysters Rockefeller were mushy, and the lamb was so cold we couldn’t eat it. We sent it back to be warmed up. I can say the bottle of wine we chose was nice - marked up x3 from the stores but that’s typical for a restaurant. Ultimately we spent nearly $300 for a meal where we walked away feeling just as lukewarm as the food. We won’t be going there again.
