" The ambiance at San Lorenzo is simply charming. I loved the warm lighting and rustic decor reminiscent of Italy. The food was quite good, particularly the grilled calamari and a hearty tortelli dish. While I enjoyed my meal, I felt the portions could have been a little larger for the price. Overall, a pleasant dining experience, though the service could use a bit of polishing. I would return but with slightly lowered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited San Lorenzo for a brunch event and was impressed with the creative twist they put on classic Italian dishes. The frittata was fluffy and packed with flavor, and I especially loved the zucchini flowers. The portion sizes were generous, especially for a brunch setting, making it a great value. The atmosphere was very relaxed, making it a perfect place to catch up with friends. I look forward to trying their dinner service soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about San Lorenzo, I could not wait to see for myself! While I found the dishes to be delicious, I did feel that the portions were a bit on the small side. The atmosphere is charming and upscale without being stuffy, perfect for a night out. The service was friendly, but I did have to ask for things a couple of times. Overall, I would recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food at San Lorenzo was decent, I must admit I expected a bit more for the price. The veal I had was tender, but not particularly memorable. The service was efficient but felt a bit rushed, which detracted from the overall experience. However, I must say, the atmosphere was lovely and made the dining experience somewhat enjoyable. I might come back to explore different dishes, especially their famous pasta. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is truly a gem in DC! The ambiance is perfect for a romantic dinner. I particularly enjoyed the seafood linguine, which was fresh and flavorful. The service was attentive and the staff genuinely seemed interested in making my dining experience special. The portion sizes feel just right for the quality of the food served. I won't hesitate to recommend San Lorenzo to any of my friends looking for an authentic Italian meal! " (*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*)
