I fell upon this place on accident and I am so glad I did. My husband and I ordered the Tiger Roll for an appetizer and is so wonderful!! We then split 2 meals, Brisket Dip and Pork chop. We could only eat half of our halves, but man was it phenomenal!!! Our waitress was super attentive and nice. The atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful evening. Meatloaf fantastic, Penne con Broccoli great and my husband said the white chicken chili was the best he’s ever had. We have been long time patrons of The Lemp and are so happy it’s still going strong!!

About the restaurant

Lorenzo’s features Northern Italian fare with a touch of contemporary flavor. Look to our menu for some of the classics as well as some modern Italian cuisine less prevalent on The Hill. Look forward to experiencing the authentic house-made gnocchi and risottos; or our signature dish, braised Ossobuco; our guests' ever favorite, Chicken Spedini; or a couple of the staff favorites, the Grilled Barramundi or Fabulous Veal Picatta.

At Lorenzo's the atmosphere is classy and laid-back. It is the type of restaurant where you can have a nice business dinner or enjoy a meal with the family.

We offer two beautiful private rooms, The Boardroom, which seats up to 14 or The Chefs Table which seats up to 8. You may choose to enjoy our patio on a beautiful day and savor one of the great Italian wines off our extensive wine menu. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable no matter what meal or day you visit. We look forward to showing you all we can offer at Lorenzo's Trattoria.

Great date night dinner choice. We had never been to this restaurant and so I picked it based on reviews and the menu. The food and service were excellent. We had the beef medallions and the tortellini. Both were very well prepared and delicious. The arancini was amazing and not like any that I have previously eaten. Finally, the tiramisu shined! I definitely recommend and will be back.
