Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant

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

So because it's in the middle between where you want to go, spend no expectations. But woah, this place is one piece of southwest gem. From their flavorful exquisite Italian in the desert menus (who would've thought) to the staff, sincerely great and amazing eats..

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.

This is now one of my favorite restaurants in Cruces. Presentation, atmosphere, and quality were all five stars. You can tell pasta is made in house and it is delicious! I had the ravioli this time and it was incredible, but I can’t wait to try others when we go back. If you are looking for a variety of food in Cruces, start here.

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!!

What a wonderful dining experience at Lorenzo's. We are on a spring break roadtrip and chose this place. On entering at 5pm on a Thursday the place was pretty much full, but we were seated within 5 minutes. The menu is extensive and well thought out. Prices seemed very reasonable, but the magic was on the back page. There are for choices where you can order a trio of samples that may up a full meal. I had the spaghetti and tomato sauce, with chicken Alfredo and green chili lasagna. It was amazing. The bottomless homemade bread was to die for!
What made this place extra special for us was our server Tony, who was also one of the owners. Where do you see this, an owner actually working the dining room.? He was warm, friendly and busting with personality. I believe his brothers are the the head chefs. To top it off was when his Mom, Mary, came out from the kitchen to say hello, bring us a portion of tiramisu, that was actually made in Sicily and flown over regularly! Don't leave without trying it! There's a lot of love, passion and tradition that goes into the food at Lorenzo's. These's a reason a restaurant has been around for 30 years. We will be back if we are ever in this area. Don't pass by without stopping in.

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!

It's my favorite Italian restaurant in Las Cruces. It's always worth the wait! My favorite dish is the green chile lasagna 😋. The bread is amazing too!

I always get the Bella Roma pizza with the insalata di lusso. So delicious. Excellent service and atmosphere.

Passing through and stopped here for dinner. It was absolutely delicious! I had the gluten free penne chicken Alfredo and it was delicious! There was a salad that came with my meal and it was amazing. My family had other dishes that were amazing and the bread was perfectly delicious! I will definitely return the next time I pass through.

The food was excellent and so was the service :) I will definitely eat here again...the bread here is better than the rolls at TRH and our wonderful waitress just kept bringing us more of it, truly delicious

Wow! I was just driving through on my way back to Palm Springs California when I came across this place and decided to give it a try. Let me start off that I had an appetizer. I had the calamari and it was absolutely to die for. The coating on the calamari was light. There was plenty of it. I ordered pasta and meatball half order. It also came with a salad. The young lady also brought bread over as well. I was absolutely stuffed. The food was absolutely outstanding and the service was even better. This is a authentic Italian place. If you live in the area or if you are passing through, I suggest that you try this place out. I'm glad I didn't miss this.

This restaurant is way way better than the Olive Garden. The food is fresh and very tasty. Great price and lots of food for the money. The waitress was awesome, our party was 25.

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!

Wonderful and friendly place. Juanita, our waitress was very friendly and took care of us very well. Since we were unsure of what to order, she recommended we try the Tour of Italy - Lasagna, Fettuccine and Spaghetti. It was terrific as can been seen in the photo.

We were driving to Phoenix from Dallas and came across this amazing Italian restaurant on our way.I wish they were located in my city.I highly recommend this place. Everyone of us truly enjoyed every dish we ordered

Food was 10/10.
Recommended dishes: their house bread, tomato soup, eggplant with Penn, grilled chicken with fettuccini with pesto cream.

The food was amazing and large portions. Chi ken picatta is one of my favorite dishes and theirs was one of the best I've ever had! Staff was fantastic, friendly and helpful.

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. 😆

Stopped on our way home across state. Not planned…. It was the best unplanned dinner! Everyone’s food was awesome! The bread alone was awesome! Had the salmon salad 🤤 we may have to drive 6 hrs to come visit again.

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.
