Lorenzo's is a family run Italian restaurant, which also has a fantastic selection of specials on a regular basis. These are advertised on the chalkboard. Today they included a variety of moules and involtini di melanzane (rolled aubergines stuffed with goats cheese and baked in a tomato sauce). You can really imagine the mama mia behind the scenes here giving instructions and tapping away intruding hands from her sauce with the back of a wooden spoon.
The decor is also fairly simple, with the walls lined with fabulous pictures of the amalfi coast from the seventies.
We went straight in for the £4.95 lunch options. Mine was the delicious crespoline vegetariana, which is pancakes filled with spinach, ricotta and mushrooms, baked in a tangy tomato sauce, then served with fresh parmesan. Gipsy Spread had the Capriciosa pizza which included ham, onions, peppers and artichoke hearts. Not bad for a fiver!
The lunch set menu is available Monday-Saturday until 5pm. It is a real treat and can be supplemented with a side of garlic bread or salad for an extra £1.
Lorenzo's is a fantastic local gem and I wanted to mention it on my blog as the first of my favourite eateries around the triangle. Long may it continue to do business.
