So...I decided last night to give Lorenzo's another try. And again, I wasn't impressed. It seems to me when he was at the old location...the food, portions and service were much better. The bartender was arrogant and I don't think he knew how to smile. Our waitress was just as bad...didn't seem like she cared about the quality of her... More

I've been to the old location up the street which was so-so. Not the greatest but not the worst either. More recently and at the recommendation of a friend, I took a client there to supper. With the exception of a couple of other patrons, the dining room was deserted. I've often heard it said that if a restaurant's bar... More

It took a while to get our drinks and although our waitress was friendly she had many tables to wait on and thus the service was a little slower than we would have liked. They had a kind of cheesy Frank Sinatra imitation singer doing karaoke and between that and... More

After finding this restaurant after a short stint around West Haven, this place was a pleasant surprise. Since this was a "family" outing, pizza was on my mind and the pizza here was definitely a delicious choice! It wasn't oily or greasy, it wasn't flat and tasteless - it was absolutely delicious! So much so that I will be going... More

Our first experience was three years ago, when we first moved to West Haven. The meal was good, the service decent. We often had take-out pizza, but found it too salty, and inconsistent. Our last meal there was a real bummer. We treated friends of ours to dinner, and we were embarassed by the slow and sloppy service, and the... More

Warm and inviting atmosphere and great food. My family loves the soups - the chicken tortellini and the minestrone. Their vodka sauce is delicious. My husband had a stuffed pepper as a special and he loved it. Will return for sure!
