"The food was good the bread was soft yet crunchy. I tried the cheese ravioli in a green chile sauce; it was outstanding.I had been told to try the spumoni; wow! Sadly, I didn't take a picture of it.The service was not good. I arrived for lunch around 1:15; it was not crowded, nor would I say busy. The server seemed annoyed to seat me, then didn't return to take a drink order for a few minutes at least 5. He was slow bringing bread out; he brought it with my salad that was spectacular.I ordered the spumoni to go and it seemed he forgot about it. I paid my bill, then he said he still needed to get the spumoni, which took an additional 10 mins.Another table had tried to get his attention and he didn't see them, so I notified him when he was at my table; he shrugged and walked away not to the table who had been signaling him.Perhaps he was having an off day, but he was the only dreary spot in the experience.The food was excellent!"

Authentic Itlian food in the middle ? of the desert of New Mexico. Hade a bit of a wait to get in due to a pre concert dinners awaiting the start of a concert nearby. However, the wait was worth it as the food was exemplary! We go there everything we're visiting from Hawaii. View menu

The only thing really good about this restaurant is the bread. It was GREAT! The food took a long time to come out. Main dishes are pretty mediocre, and it was luke warm like it had been sitting there for a while. Had the Rome dish. The red sauce has a lot of sugar in it. It's almost like a homemade chef boyardee sauce. I'm not a fan of the pesto sauce. The basil taste was overpowering. The Alfredo sauce was okay. Probably won't go again.

I was in the mood for some good pasta for dinner last night and discovered Lorenzo's. The atmosphere was peaceful and inviting. The service was outstanding—attentive, prompt, and friendly. And the food? Absolutely delicious! The calamari was cooked to perfection, and the main dishes were generous in size, full of flavor, and satisfying. I had read plenty of reviews praising the bread, so I had high expectations, and I wasn't let down. My family and I devoured two pieces each before the appetizers even arrived. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience, and I'm definitely planning to return. View menu

This place was a major letdown. We ordered takeout, and the food was truly unimpressive. My husband got chicken Parmesan, while I went with fettuccine Alfredo. Both meals were supposed to come with soup, and we requested sausage and green chile, but what we received resembled country gravy instead. It was bland and excessively thick. The sauce on my husband's dish was overwhelmingly sweet, reminiscent of something you’d find in a frozen dinner. As for my dish, the sauce had no flavor at all — it felt like creamy grease. The bread was decent, but we couldn't even finish our meals. Given that we spent nearly $50 on this dinner, I’m very disappointed with our experience.

My family and I dined here this evening, having driven from El Paso because the food is truly worth it. It was my first visit, and I will definitely be returning. You can really tell it’s a family-owned restaurant; the atmosphere is so peaceful and inviting. Our server, Tony, was fantastic and very attentive—it's clear that he loves what he does. The bread was absolutely incredible! We ordered calamari, and I can honestly say it was the best I’ve ever had. I have no idea how it tasted so fresh and was cooked to perfection! I tried the soup of the day, which was tomato basil chicken, and it was a chef's kiss for freshness. The scallops and jumbo shrimp had just the right amount of kick. We al...
