" San Lorenzo blew my mind! I have traveled extensively through Italy, and this restaurant evoked the very same feelings of authenticity I experienced abroad. The pasta was fresh, and their signature dishes are fantastic. I had a delightful evening thanks to the welcoming service. Book a table soon; you won't be disappointed! " (*Curated Review*)

" Your experience at San Lorenzo will feel like a special treat. The ambience transports you instantly to Italy, and the food is just as delightful. I had the veal chops that melted in my mouth and the accompanying polenta was divine! The staff checked on us regularly and were genuinely caring, enhancing the visit. Slightly pricier than expected but worth every dime! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at San Lorenzo was absolutely delightful! The moment I walked in, I was enchanted by the warm décor and the inviting atmosphere. I opted for the rabbit pappardelle, which was divine; the pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection. The service was attentive but not intrusive, making my dinner feel special without being rushed. My dessert, the panna cotta, was the cherry on top of this fabulous meal. Highly recommend this place for a date night or a special dinner with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" San Lorenzo has quickly become my go-to spot for Italian food in DC! I can’t get enough of their fresh pasta dishes. The pappardelle with rabbit ragu is one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever tasted! The service is always on point – friendly and efficient, making me feel very welcomed. I appreciate the authenticity here; it really feels like dining in Italy! Don’t miss out on their tiramisu for dessert. This place is a real find! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried San Lorenzo after hearing great reviews, and it did not disappoint! The menu was delightful, featuring everything from traditional pastas to inventive specials. The ambiance fosters a cozy atmosphere ideal for intimate dinners. The food was superb, and the portion sizes were adequate; however, I found a few dishes a bit over-seasoned. Overall, I will return without question. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say that San Lorenzo lived up to its reputation! The pasta was homemade, and I tried the tortelini and pappardelle—both were exquisite. The only drawback was the price; it felt a bit steep for portion sizes. However, the taste was incredible, and the ambiance was nostalgic of quaint Italian restaurants. I would return for the pasta alone! " (*Curated Review*)
