    Wow!!! Best Italian restaurant I have ever visited. We came 4 friends. The waiter was very friendly and informative about the dishes. We were hesitant about what bottle of wine to order. The waiter recommended their best wine and gave it with a discount. In order to satisfy all of us he served a glass of other wine to one of my friends on the house. Than we had this tasty warm bread with an wonderful sauce. All the dishes comes with sides. I invited one of the soups that was superb. All served food was marvelous. In the end the waiter served us a teramisu desert on the house. On top of all that he gave us a military discount of 15% and all this delightful meal coast us 20$. For this best service we gave a big tip which he definitely deserved. I m definitely coming back to this beautiful and enjoyable place!!

    Great Italian restaurant with very friendly staff and delicious food. It is located right off the freeway so it’s a great place to eat while in a road trip. Definitely coming here again next time I’m in New Mexico.

    While this is not the best Italian we've ever had, for Las Cruces, it is the best. I really enjoyed the Green Chile Lasagna, the sauce really melds nicely with the filling. My husband thought the Tour of Rome was really good, too. The Sicilian Flatbread is tasty when dipped in some olive oil and parmesan located at the end of the table. We will definitely be back, God willing. Sorry about the photos, we had already started eating, so portion size is inaccurate. 😆

    Visited Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant. Overall The Service And Atmosphere Was Great And Friendly. The Service Was Quick And Excellent. The Spaghetti Dinner Was Hot And Delicious Really Good Portions. The Bread Was So Awesome. The Only Issue Was That The Meatballs Were Sweet And Had Raisins In Them Not A Good Parring In My Opinion Still A Great Dinner Will Be Going Back.

    I had high hopes for this place arrived and the parking lot was full and many people inside. Don’t get me wrong the garlic fries were delicious also enjoyed the green Chile soup and Caesar salad, but the chicken parm and the tour plate that has chicken Alfredo were horrible. I am not a picky person but the Alfredo sauce tasted like old butter and my chicken parm was rubbery chicken and soaked in a ton of super sweet tomatoe sauce. To be honest we didn’t complain just paid and left the food as in the picture. Going home feeling nauseous and sad finally got a date night and this was the result ☹️

    We took it to go and loved it! The Fire Roasted Tomato Soup was delicious and everything else too! Went back for my Birthday and picked up spaghetti and meatballs with sausage and green chile soup. Yummy!

    I work at a medical facility and our clinic orders from here often. We love this place and we do our best to support locally owned businesses. Our orders are never perfect but we don’t really mind nor throw a fuzz. However, this time I was really disappointed on how careless they have become when preparing their plates. I had ordered the shrimp Alfredo pasta. They forgot the Alfredo sauce and thought that one shrimp would be enough to compliment the pasta. Mind you it’s not cheap! Other then that their staff is friendly and bread is amazing!!

    I ordered takeout for the family here and it was amazing ! A very busy and am isn’t location and quite crowded so we decided to do takeout. It was worth it. The bread is soft luscious and delicious. We ordered the minestrone and tomato basil soup and it was also amazing. One of the best tomato basil soups I have had in my life. We had also ordered a pizza and it was very well made and delicious. The winner for me was the shrimp Alfredo as it was so creamy and rich in flavor and they use real wild caught shrimp. This was all for a very fair price ! A must try if your in Las Cruces !

    Burrata had a great flavor, bread was slightly burnt. Rigatoni with the creamy pesto was so tasty!

    I've tried their food from catering before at school, and had been wanting to try this restaurant in person for a while. But I haven't gotten the chance to because they can get quite busy on the weekends. I recently went on a Sunday afternoon and luckily there was no wait for a table. Service was good, the decor is quaint and cute inside. Their complimentary bread is amazing ! I got their build your own 2 item lunch plate for $13 which was a great deal. I got an 8 inch personal 2 topping pizza and a half sandwich which were both delicious ! I can't wait to come back here and try more items.

    Wow! Lorenzo's definitely blew us away! I only got a pic of the bread because when the food arrived, it was so delicious we dug in! The bread is their special foccacia-type bread, and it's different than any Italian restaurant I've ever been to! So yummy! The side house salads had so much flavor, too! We tried just about every pasta between all 5 plates, and each had so much unique flavor, none disappointed! The best was the spinach and artichoke ravioli! My toddler obviously tore up the red sauce pasta! The service was also so friendly and well managed. Everyone worked together, and we were well checked on, even for being so busy before the Bataan March! We will definitely be back!

    The food here is down right delicious. The service is exceptional too. Everything is very flavorful and filling. Do not miss out on the rolls as they are probably the best part. The interior is a bit dated but don’t let this throw you off.

  • 5/5 Fran L. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was amazing. The waitstaff was very attentive and wanted to insure everything was right. Food was delightful. My dinner, pasta with eggplant, was delicious but not quite hot enough for me and they fixed it immediately. They watched to see when we needed refills on drinks. We were impressed. Food was plentiful, included salad was delicious and the bread was AMAZING! Our time there was perfect with the exception of some kid who didn't stop his blood curdling scream. Thankfully the family eventually left and the rest of our time was pleasant.

    It's our first time and we LOVE the food. We love how the tomato sauce is a little sweet and the other pasta dishes are so creamy yummy. The bread is so good even just by itself. The green chile soup is so special too, you cannot find this in Italy :p

    Good food, great service. Our waitress was very friendly and split our check without a fuss. The food was great, especially the bread. Highly recommend the lunch menu for an affordable bite to eat.

    I had heard great things about the sausage green chile soup! I ordered 2 “BOWLS” of their sausage green chile soup and instead I received this sorry little CUP of soup. Not to mention each of these was $7. Extremely disappointing.

    Where can I start? My server was superb! I was looking for a beer and a sandwich. Brought me two samples of 7k IPA delicious. And the turkey sandwich was amazing. The ambient was so relaxed!
