Lorenzo's Ristorante in Lambeth

Comida increíble. La mejor comida italiana. Gran servicio de ambiente relajado para una cena de citas por la noche Mucha comida vegetariana para elegir

Una verdadera joya en medio del Palacio de Cristal. Miramos hacia adentro y casi nos fuimos ya que no podíamos ver ninguna mesa. Afortunadamente entramos y preguntamos y tenían una preciosa zona de abajo que era amplia y más tranquila, pero todavía tenía un ambiente encantador. El personal era atento y genial. Pero la razón principal para compartir el amor en esta reseña fue la comida. Precio razonable pero auténtico y delicioso. Cada bocado era el cielo. Probamos los chisporroteantes langostinos al ajo, arancinos y hongos rellenos para empezar todos 10 / 10. Mains seguido de albóndigas, lasaña y una pizza Bella todo 10 / 10 de nuevo! No queríamos empujar nuestra suerte ya que todo había sido perfecto y estábamos rellenos, pero vimos que el tiramisú era una receta familiar de 40 años, ya que mi hija lo hace con frecuencia en casa tratando de crear la mejor versión que tenía que probar. Fue la versión más ligera y deliciosa que hemos tenido. ¡Una chica feliz! Dos limoncellos para que terminemos vienen en vasos helados. Wow solo wow .. mientras nos íbamos le dijimos al personal lo increíble que había sido toda la comida y significó mucho, ya que puedo ver cuánta pasión y amor ponen en su comida siempre es agradable decir gracias!

Visitó aquí con la familia en su primera apertura de noche después de las vacaciones de verano. Vale la pena esperar. Nuestra familia de tres tuvo una cena de tres platos con entradas, platos fuertes y postres variados. La comida era deliciosa y todos estábamos contentos con nuestras comidas. Cuando nos fuimos la gente estaba haciendo cola para entrar. Normalmente es una buena señal. Si estás en la zona, acércate.

Estaba deseando una lasaña que Lorenzos solía hacer muy bien. Éste era un pequeño trozo de lasaña precocinada en el microondas... carne grumosa, salsa estándar de ciénaga... no diferente a una congelada de supermercado... tan decepcionante... El camarero no sabía hablar inglés. Mi amigo tenía una carbonara abrumadora con tocino graso. ¿Qué ha pasado Lorenzos? Hay tanta competencia en Crystal Palace... Lorenzos has sunk.

Almorzamos ayer, la comida era muy buena y el servicio era excelente, no he estado allí durante un par de años, pero la última vez que fuimos el lugar estaba muy bullicioso, pero esta vez, aunque reservamos, una familia de 4 que llegaron se mostraron directamente a una mesa. Parece una gran pena para un restaurante tan excelente

We have been coming to Lorenzos for over 25 years with friends and family. This was unfortunately our last visit. Service was quite slow but it was very busy. Young male waiter VERY grumpy and not friendly other staff were pleasant. The menu has changed but not for the better. My daughter ordered the chicken Milanese - when she cut it open it was very raw. Immediately sent it back. My pizza was soggy and watery. A real shame as this used to be a lovely restaurant.

I have driven past this unassuming looking restaurant on the Crystal Palace triangle for years and always noticed how popular it seems. I finally went along this week and ordered a takeaway for all the family to celebrate a birthday. The food was knock out amazing. We had a mixture of pizzas and pastas - all flavorsome, authentically cooked Italian fare. Really kind friendly staff too. Highly recommend.

This is a genuine Italian restaurant managed by a team delivering high quality delicious meals and with genuine customer service. Chef’s specials were absolutely delicious. Thoroughly recommended.

Outside view is a basic Italian from the inside and outside. Though, the restaurant was fairly full. Menu....well the worst menu I have ever seen in an Italian restaurant. Starters very basic, a few prawn dishes, and a mix if others. Mains....two chicken dishes Pizza... quiet a few but only two authentic Italian pizzas. In my opinion, if you want a pizza go to Dominos. When I eat out at an Italian restaurant, I expect traditional cooked food, not pizza. Desserts were again basic nothing to write home about, I had Cinnamon Apple crumble and vanilla icecream. More crumble than apple, in the ice cream portion was smaller than a ping pong ball. Waiter service was slow, though the delivery of the food very rapid. Asked for the bill twice, was told we are busy, so is it free then...."no" , well you had better hurry up. Still took a further 15 minutes to have the bill at the table. So bottom line, not the best Italian I have been in , but close to being the worst. Price wise, over priced for the food delivered.

I booked a table for a family of 15 to celebrate my daughters 16th birthday, the staff were very accommodating, food was delicious and staff were incredibly welcoming and super friendly. No one had to wait to long for drinks and food. We were so happy with everything... thank you so much Lorenzo’s ♥️🎂

Great place to visit if you want to pop in for a chilled, hearty meal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. The staff are all polite and attentive, Sam in particular was great. Would definitely recommend.

We came here for Valentine’s Day. £37 for three courses which I thought was ok value - taking into account that it’s always a little bit more on Valentine’s Day. Lovely charming setting - it manages to be both capacious and cosy at the same time. The sort of place that probably had the same atmosphere thirty years ago and if it closes everyone will say they will miss it. It was quite busy but the service was good and consistent. Food is traditional, unfussy Italian. Lovely stuffed mushrooms and tasty salad to start. The main was chicken in white wine sauce and steak cut chips - I can’t speak for its “authenticity” but it was lovely food. Decent pizza. Nothing overly complicated about the food but it was tasty and comforting. Decent wine at reasonable prices. My only criticism was the desserts - they didn’t meet the standard of the mains or starter. A tiramisu that was a bit flat and a tasteless ice cream. But overall this was a good experience and I will be back.

Popped in on the off-chance, Starters, bruschetta and garlic bread were excellent as was the Calzone pizza. Wife had tagliatelle fish which was excellent although the penne arabiata was very spicy (chilli hot). Service was superb - be aware, a lot of the dishes have fresh chilli!

Comforting, tasty food, nice atmosphere and lovely staff. Always so friendly. We have been coming for years… Chris is such a lovely maitre d… the chef is fab… Lorenzos always pick such good people to run their establishment … Suzanne & Colin

I agree abut the red house wine being cold.and surprised this restuarant would do this.Love the house red and what I liked most was always at the perfect temperature.Food still good and the atmosphere and still my fav. place.I too have been visiting since the 90s Wish they opened for lunches not just weekends as it is also child friendly and good as a treat in school holidays.

I went for my Godfathers birthday two weeks ago, they are quite foodie so pressure was on. It was amazing. Starters were so lovely Gamberoni were amazing as were most of the other starters . The crostini was on the small size. The staff were so helpful and attentive without being intrusive . The pastas were to die for. I don’t especially like heavy pasta dishes but any of the seafood pasta I’d frankly say were amazing. They seem to have quite a lot of seasonal seafood as well. Some of our party had pan fried seabass which was lovey. And limoncellos to end . It was a lovely evening.. a lovely family party atmosphere.

Honestly an insult to any Italian. It’s a nasty little place with horrid food. Cheap, dated and not worth the money. Avoid.

I have visited this restaurant occasionally over many years but this time we both left feeling disappointed . The food as always was lovely but the service fell very short. We were sat downstairs at the back , after ten minutes cutlery was laid but no menus or drinks offered . When the waiter arrived we asked to swap tables as the air condition was such that I had not removed my jacket . We were moved drinks ordered and menus provided ( my husbands menu had a few more options ?!) . When the waiter placed our main meals down he disappeared , we asked another waiter for cheese , pepper etc and after 3/4 minutes these arrived . As I said the good was very nice and the main waiter apologised for the service , it was clear he was doing his best but one waiter for all the tables downstairs was not enough . As we left , the ground floor appeared better staffed so maybe the service was better there …

Ate at Lorenzo yesterday. Ambience was very good with many families out. Food was very good and the staff were very friendly First return in 18 years but will make sure that we can come back in the not too distant future We had calamari which was so light and crispy unlike some that we have had in other Italian restaurants and both the pescaratore risotto and spaghetti were superb

Been coming to Lorenzo's since the mid 90s .Favourite Italian restuarant.Staff have changed and some new furniture so was a bit wary following lock down.Staff arefriendly and welcoming.Food superb up to the same standard.Good atmosphere too.A small complaint.Had the red house wine which I love and it was stone cold.Palatable but I always enjoyed the red there because the temp perfect and brings out the flavours.That wine should be served ar 16c-18c.Tiramasu large portion light as a feather and I enjoyed, but not the absulute best I have had.Could do with a tad more Marsella. Having said all that can't wait to go back!!!!

My wife and I had were on a short stay in the nearby Caravan Park. On a recommendation from a friend we decided to eat out here. He grew up in the area but hadn't visited for a number of years, but hey if the place is still going they must be doing something right eh? Booked online, really simple process. Arrived 15 minutes early for our 7.15 booking, no problems. Restaurant was fairly busy considering the current climate. Service was superb, we'd had our starter and mains within an hour! Drinks were served really quickly after ordering. We had bread and olives to start and for mains we had Paccheri Ragu (slow cooked sirloin with pasta) it was fantastic, the beef was in very small chunks, quite different to any ragu I've had before). Another couple were sitting down next to us as we were served they said that looks fantastic and on my advice the also had it and loved it. It was £12.95 which I thought was reasonable. After the meal we had a nice chat with the manager Natalie, her father originally opened the restaurant in 1985, he has taken a back seat and she now runs it. This is a really nice, honest little restaurant. Did I mention we were celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary? We were so glad we visited Lorenzoes for it, right up our street. Today we're going to try their French Cafe just around the corner for lunch.

The restaurant is cosy and we got a warm welcome when we came in, the food was good we had a risotto pescatora and spaghetti with sea food. We really enjoyed it.

My footy team had our christmas social here last night. It was amazing food with great friendly service. Really reasonable, tasty 3 course set menu with generous portion sizes. I'd be keen to go back here! Thank you all at Lorenzo's, love the Sunflowers FC...

Very authentic Italian dining… food was incredible and the staff attentive. Thank you to Ivan who was a pleasure serving us! I would suggest booking if you are going in the evening as they get very busy. Will definitely be back soon

My friend and I visited Lorenzo on Friday to celebrate his birthday, but when we arrived a man told us to leave as they were fully booked, even though it was early and there were several free tables with no 'reserved' signs. He never asked...

I left stuffed. There was more seafood in my sauce than I’ve had in a long time. Perfect meal to end an enjoyable day with a lovely bottled of wine. Hubby demolished his lasagne

Have visited Lorenzos since it opened in the 80s. Yes, the staff have changed, but it’s always the same menu. Tonight we visited and had bruschetta , spaghetti Lorenzo and a vegan pizza. Everything was delicious, well cooked and to the original recipe. We had...

As a group of friends we went back to Lorenzos last night, but left disappointed and thirsty! Many of our favourites were gone from the menu. We asked if there were any specials and were given a sheet with them on, but upon ordering some...

We turned up on Saturday early evening with an extra unexpected guest and you’d have thought we’d brought along a gun for all the welcome we got. We were made to stand at the end of the (entirely empty) restaurant whilst they called across repeatedly...

We visited last night, still great service and good people but sadly no meatballs or tiramissu. Bring them back please! :)

It was suggested by a friend at the begging I was not sure because the menu is quite big , however we had Arancini and parmigiana as starter and mushrooms gnocchi and ravioli al pesto. All the food was delicious. Definitely an experience to repeat.

I don’t know how they do it but the garlic mushrooms are done to perfection, the pasta is made in the most perfect sauce, their salads come with the most unique dressing and the cinamon cake is a must. This restaurant operates on three floors...

Went here on a busy Saturday night. I know in these times, staff are reduced and there are fewer tables but this visit was completely average. Booked a table for 7:00pm to be told we had to wait 10 minutes for another table to finish...

Excellent food and good service. Authentic Italian - recommend the lasagne and the ice cream is delicious too.

Charming old family-run Italian restaurant in Crystal Palace with delicious food. We enjoyed fantastic paccheri al ragu and melanzane parmigiana. With Peronis and espressos the bill for two came to a reasonable £32.50 (‘service is at your discretion’). The restaurant was almost full when we...

What a lovely little gem of a restaurant, we had the steak which was cooked just right and the seafood pasta and pesto pasta which were both excellent! The ice cream was gorgeous and the sticky toffee pudding was just the best! Lovely waiter, only...

Mi esposa y yo hemos estado visitando Lorenzos durante varios años de manera bastante regular por buena comida italiana a buen precio y sin lujos. Normalmente las mujeres que sirven son encantadoras y muy divertidas. Aparecimos anoche para ser recibidos por un chico más joven que nunca había visto allí antes. Había 6 de nosotros, incluido uno pequeño, y había usado su sitio web para reservar en línea. Lo he hecho dos veces antes y nunca recibí un correo electrónico de confirmación las 2 veces anteriores que llamé para verificar y me dijeron que nuestra reserva estaba bien. Llegué y este tipo me dijo que nuestra reserva no había sido recibida y me preguntó si había recibido un correo electrónico de confirmación a lo que respondí que no. Luego fue a decirme que no teníamos reserva, eran las 6 de la tarde y había otras 2 mesas llenas en el restaurante. Estaba empezando a llevarnos a una mesa y sintió la necesidad de repetir el problema de reserva nuevamente, le pregunté por qué eso era necesario ya que tenían el espacio, a lo que dijo "es su culpa". En este punto me enojé, este chico tenía unos 18 años y, siendo extremadamente condescendiente y grosero, lo detuve y comentó "lo que sea" y se fue. No hace falta decir que nos fuimos después de esto. Fuimos a Thai Crystal y gastamos 150 libras allí. Durante un momento en que todos están demasiado asustados para salir de la casa y estás parado en un restaurante con 6 miembros del personal trabajando (que pude ver), pensarías que la gente querría pagar a los clientes por la puerta. Es una vergüenza enorme y espero que se deshagan de él porque no volveré ni recomendaré este lugar a la gente, como lo hice a menudo, hasta que lo hagan.

Always a great meal here , good food, very reasonable prices and excellent service , what more could you ask for, one of my favourite restaurants in the area

Sunday lunch with family here today. Good service. Very tasty food at reasonable prices. The seafood risotto was particularly good. Packed full of seafood.

Always great value for money and friendly staff good food and reasonably priced drinks always returning

My friends booked this restaurant for 8pm on NYE as they had been before and really enjoyed the food and general experience. On NYE, service was slow as you might expect but we managed to order drinks, starters and mains. However as more time passed and no food appeared, we began to realise that the restaurant was struggling to deal with all the bookings they'd taken. People around us were also waiting, and getting hungry and frustrated. The waiting staff kept bringing everyone more drinks but still no food. It took them over an hour to finally bring our table some bread and one of our starters to be getting on with. At the 2hrs 15min mark (10.15pm) the rest of our starters emerged but by then we had reached the end of our tether and went to Yak And Yeti to get take away instead, where we were given our food within 15min. On our way out of Lorenzo's they were still accepting more customers which seemed highly optimistic.Towards the end of our ordeal we were offered free wine by Lorenzo's (in a rather blase fashion) but this was no good - by then we were desperate for food. A real disappointment Lorenzo's - was so looking forward to a nice NYE meal in a restaurant with my friends. You bit off more than you could chew.

Tuve un plato de pasta muy sabroso y mi novio y yo nos encantó el pudín de caramelo pegajoso! Estamos tentados a volver solo por eso. . . Sin embargo, mi novio estaba un poco decepcionado por su calzone, pensó que estaba un poco seco. El servicio fue bueno y el ambiente es encantador. Vale la pena una visita.

Went for a family meal out. Seated in the basement. The pizza was decent the pasta dishes were good. The whole family were happy with their choices. My 5 year old ordered from the kids menu. Good service.

Comí la peor pizza de mi vida aquí, incluyendo comprar en la tienda y llevar. La base era gruesa, sin sabor y empapada debido a la combinación de demasiado tomate acuoso y enormes trozos de hongo blando y esponjoso que sospecho que provenía de una lata. El queso nadaba en un mar de champiñones líquidos.Traté de comer, ya que, como tú, agregué un poco de aceite de chile, pero admití la derrota (esto es raro, me encanta comer fuera).Ahora, sé que la ruta aceptada es presentar una queja, pero realmente, ¿a dónde vas desde allí? Ordenando otro plato principal y comiendo solo porque todos los demás han terminado sus comidas. Una vez que hayas servido un trago, hay un rescate limitado que un restaurante puede hacer en cuanto a la comida sin perturbar totalmente el flujo de la noche, especialmente cuando tienes niños contigo. En este caso, era el cumpleaños de mi hija, lo que expliqué en la reserva, porque no quería el menú infantil, pero quería la lasaña en el menú para adultos, pero le preocupaba que fuera demasiado grande. Afortunadamente, Lorenzo hace una porción inicial de cualquier pasta por 2 menos. Esto fue positivo. Sin embargo, nadie notó que era un cumpleaños de mi reserva.Cuando el camarero me quitó el plato, le dije que no había sido muy agradable ya que estaba empapado y le señalé los enormes trozos de champiñones que no eran apetitosos. Dijo que le diría a la cocina. Eso fue todo, sin disculpas, nada que compensar mi plato de decepción. Este era el momento de hacer las paces, pero mi pobre experiencia de comida fue recibida con poco cuidado.Mi pareja disfrutó su Pasta Lorenzo, 'deliciosa', mi hija mayor amaba su lasaña. Mi hija menor era indiferente con respecto a la pizza de margherita del menú de sus hijos, así que tal vez la pizza es donde cae Lorenzo.Menú de postres bastante poco inspirador, helado habitual, poco soso en general para los amantes de los helados. Curiosamente, fue Swiss Movenpick, no helado italiano.Mi compañero tenía la tarta de chocolate con caramelo salado, dijo que era demasiado chocolate y no suficiente caramelo salado y que hubiera sido mejor con una caja de hojaldre en lugar de chocolate.Cuando llegó la factura, mencioné la pizza empapada que fue una sorpresa para la camarera. Se preguntó por unos 10 minutos y luego regresó diciendo que había quitado el helado del niño de la cuenta pero que el sistema no le permitiría quitarle la pizza. Todavía no me disculpo. Extraño.Si hubieran ofrecido una disculpa con un postre o una bebida gratis, esto habría indicado que les importaba lo que pensaban sus clientes, pero no lo hicieron; así que no creo que lo hayan hecho.Tengo muchas dudas sobre una visita de regreso.

Came for an early dinner 3 adults 4 children. Food was all delicious. Service was great. Really nice to find a friendly restaurant with happy staff. Will return for sure.

We had a family gathering of 29 people on Sunday the8th September. We were placed in a private room lyas our waiter was brilliant and patient with all of us. Nothing was a problem. I would definitely recommend this resturant and we will be returning

I recently had a private party upstairs at Lorenzos to celebrate my 60th birthday . The food was really good, as always, but more importantly the staff worked really hard to make sure the event went smoothly and everyone had a good time.

We booked a table to celebrate a uni graduation...our party was 6 adults & we had a great meal on a very busy Friday night. The service was really friendly & the menu extensive, there was so many options choosing was a challenge in itself. The starters of squid, bruschetta & garlic king prawns were served quickly & were tasty. Followed by our mains choices, various pizza, calzone & 4 cheese, pollo a la crema which also has a tagliatelle pasta or chips option & beef ragu were good too. Whilst the food was good, the service was very good. What surprised me though was when we asked for our bill, they processed our card payment without even giving us the option of a gratuity...so I requested the transaction be cancelled & topped up the payment with a tip. This is a good example of the staff here being genuinely attentive & willing to please without “working the table” simply for a tip. Sadly we’re never likely to return as we live several hundred miles away, but if your in the Crystal Palace area & want authentic Italian food & great service...this place is an ideal choice.

Had a truly fantastic meal here. We only had mains which was more than enough.

I prezzi sono abordabili ma non aspettatevi una cucina di qualità. La carbonara ad esempio è da evitare.

Ate such more here I had to collapse - not because the portions are huge but because everything on it is delicious and mooreish! King prawns with garlic were to die for, creamy pasta with mushrooms and the coconut ice cream is a treat to cleanse the pallet! Keep this independent place going, far better than any Italian chain!

This is a really good restaurant with great quality food, kind employees and overall a great experience!!! I would highly recommend it!!!

We've been there with my husband yesterday to have a lunch. I would recommend to everyone this place. It was clean and quiet. Our waiter was very kind and nice. The food was amazing. We loved it very much. We definitely go back in the future.

Had the linguine gamberoni was very good and saltimbocca was very well made compliments to chef will definitely go back again for the saltimbocca

Back from holiday & tried Lorenzo, couldn't fault the food.

I recently celebrated my birthday in the upstairs Capri room of this brilliant restaurant. I arranged this at relatively short notice but the manager Abbas and his staff ensured that everything ran smoothly and that the experience was great for me and my guests (there were around 30 of us). The space was lovely - they had decorated this and let us play our own music, plus there is a nice roof terrace for anyone who wants to pop out for air or to smoke. The food was wonderful, and I'm still getting compliments about it from my friends a couple of weeks later! Would definitely recommend the private room for an event for 20-30 people, or the restaurant itself for the delicious, good value food.

While walking through Crystal Palace one day, we came upon Lorenzo's. We marked that as a place to try, and came back later for dinner. Great choice. Service was prompt and attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant. I ordered the Lasagne, and was NOT disappointed. A small salad was nice, and the Lasagne was fantastic. Not too wet, just the right amount of sauce, and cooked just right. hmmm... very good. Certainly one of the better meals we ate while in England on this trip, and the prices were reasonable. I can certainly recommend Lorenzo for your dining pleasure.

Excellent food, reasonably priced, a victim of their own success. There were only two waiting staff serving this very busy restaurant so the service was a bit hit and miss. Despite this we really enjoyed ourselves. We will come here again

un lugar encantador, visitado un sábado, no reservamos, pero el personal logró encontrarnos una buena mesa, tuvimos el FUNGHI RIPIENI y el AGUACATE ALLA CHEFF como entrante, ambos han probado un sabor increíble y hemos tenido spaghetti lorenzo y spaghetti pescatore para nuestro principales que recomiendo encarecidamente, sin duda volveremos pronto

A very enjoyable experience once again. Fantastic food, fantastic service, amazing place. We will definitely be back

Nos encanta la comida italiana siendo visitantes frecuentes a Italia.

Visited Lorenzo on Saturday with friends, had an amazing time with great service. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and excellent cuisine. We shared the bruschetta and avocado prawn for starters. Then the penne arrabbiata, penne amatriciana and paccheri cilento for mains. The tomato sauce was incredible. Definitely returning.

Fine food,warm atmosphere and excellent friendly staff. I cannot speak more highly of this establishment. My wife and i will.be spending many more hours there!

This is a fabulous place. It's been here for years and is still going strong. The lunch specials are astonishing value: a range of about 20 brilliant thin crust pizzas with generous toppings, and about 15 different pasta dishes, for just £5.95 - £7.95. And you can add garlic bread and/or salad for just another £1 !!. The main menu is not expensive either. Great service, lovely ambience, right in the heart of Crystal Palace. Hope it's there forever!

Been coming here for few years now and good honest Italian food at reasonable prices. Can’t go wrong with Lorenzo’s, always serve delicious pasta and pizza. Thank you Lorenzo’s!

This was a regular haunt when my family lived in Dulwich some years ago . I had the pleasure of returning last week to find it has not changed and still serves excellent food at reasonable prices .

Me and my family visit lorenzo at least once a week .we have been going to lorenzo since my son was 4 ..he is 28 nowww ..tasty food and great atmosphere. Highly recommended

I’ve visited this restaurant many times and I always love the food. My favourite is spaghetti Lorenzo the flavours are wonderful. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The staff are very lovely and welcoming.

We went to Lorenzos for the first time, as we entered the Aroma in the restaurant was delicious. The food was amazing and the service was very friendly. Would go again. The restaurant was busy but the food came quick.

Haven't eaten here for a while as felt it had gone down hill. Really pleased I gave them another try. Food was amazing and the chef very kindly made one of my favourite dishes which was no longer on the menu. Glad they've bounced back!!!

Etant en vacances à londres, nous sommes allés manger 2 soir de suite dans ce restaurant. Ce fut un regal. Nous avons pris des pizzas le premier soir super. la deuxième fois nous avons pris des pates. Toujours pas déçu. Je le recommande.

Me and friends we all enjoy the food and service, find the real buffalo mozzarella, garlic prawns, mussels in garlic and tomato sauce, pizzas and the pastas all very enjoyable, very friendly floor staff

De la cuisine italienne convenable, rien à dire la dessus, nous n'avons pas testé les pizzas mais la carte, lasagnes et gnocchis sont très bien.

Has this restaurant changed hands? Been going for years and did not recognise any of the staff. Spaghetti Bolognese changed beyond recognition. The daily menu charge has increased but not the service. May have to try elsewhere!

Hemos estado yendo a Lorenzo's por más de 20 años, ha tenido altibajos, cuando es bueno, es excelente, todo lo que debe ser un italiano local y cuando es malo, no hay gracia salvadora. Desafortunadamente, volvieron a cambiar la receta del Spag Bol, algunos de ustedes recordarán cuando lo cortaron todo y se sirvieron juntos como un cuenco de sobras, pero pronto regresaron al método original. No sé qué ha pasado con la receta ahora, pero es insípida y acuosa, también hay muchos cambios de personal, aunque tenemos que admitir nuestra primera visita desde Navidad, generalmente vamos una vez al mes. El trato de la hora del almuerzo también ha cambiado.

Booked a table for this evening for 7 people, when we arrived they clearly had no record of our reservation. Rather than admitting their error, they lied and said we had called to cancel our booking, total nonsense! I booked 6 days ago and was left on the street with my party. Luckily found a table at Pizza at the Palace, who were far friendlier and salvaged our night!

Last came here around 25 years ago, it was good then and it still is! Lovely service from Rabah, I had the Capri pizza my friend also had pizza, followed by dessert. All four dishes were fantastic, compliments to the chef. It was like being back in 5 ⭐️ would recommend.

Il locale è molto piccolo, ma accogliente. Cercavamo un ristorante italiano e le recensioni ci hanno portato da Lorenzo. Abbiamo mangiato discretamente bene. I camerieri e il titolare praticamente assenti, infatti erano più contenti i clienti del tavolo a fianco a vedere noi italiani a mangiare li, che coloro che ci lavorano dentro. Ci volevamo sentire a casa, ma ci siamo sentiti in un ristorante inglese che cucina piatti tipici italiani.

Nunca me decepcionó la comida aquí, fui allí con mi familia pedimos calamares (muy ligeros batidos, lo que es bueno!), Souop del día y pan de ajo fue genial! Seguido por el postre realmente me encanta el pudín! En general es muy sabroso y un gran servicio!

I last visited this restaurant about 10 years ago when I worked in the area.

We have been going for many years to lorenzo but it has gone down hill. The spaghetti lorenzo did not have any capers nor green chillies nor anchovis in the dish at all.This has happened on 2 other occassions.. The dish consisted of only some small pieces of olives tomato and garlic. When i rang lorenzo, i was informed the dish might have had a little of anchovis etc . This statement was unbelievable because the dish did not contain any of the ingredients as stated in the menu and i was basically called a liar. We will not come back anymore.

And it has never changed thank goodness and hope it never will.Cosy happy atmosphere, big menu and super food

My mum has been going here since before I was born 30 years ago. She now lives in the states and every summer she has to go to Lorenzos! Great Italian food at reasonable prices. My recent obsession is the Capri pizza . Staff and owner are so sweet and were so lovely to me when I brought in my 4 weeks old. Lorenzo will always be special to us and it's nice thst a restraint in crystal palace has lasted so long!

Never eaten here before. Needed a restaurant to suit a party of 12 , aged 11-88 , for a birthday meal

Delicious food and ambiance very good staff was so friendly thanks a lot for Lorenzo I will defiantly come again

We visited for a birthday evening meal. We found the service to be very slow but granted the staff do try to make it up with a friendly service. Good portion sizes for starters and main. Sadly there isn't much else to report as we didn't bother with desserts or hot drinks after the meal. There is parking available outside the restaurant or on the surrounding roads. Loads of public transport options as well as local bars and pubs, if you fancy a drink afterwards.

Very cosy little Italian restaurant, although you would never know there were another two floors.

We had a table for 4 booked and I had mentioned on the online booking form that it was for my daughters 11th birthday. We arrived and there was a banner and balloons up. All of the food was very good, especially the garlic stuffed mushrooms. Our waitress was very good and efficient. We didn't have a birthday cake organised but they put a candle in my daughter's dessert and sang happy birthday. The effort put in by The staff made a good meal a very memorable one.

Not sure why we haven't tried this place yet but glad we did after a year in crystal. Tried the lunch special for £5.95 and we ordered the Pepperoni Pizza and Penne Arrabiata each. For those who like it spicy... ask for chilli flakes.

La primera vez que vino a Lorenzo nos encantó - gran lasaña en el menú del almuerzo, que nos pareció que era bastante razonable y sabroso. Gestión de personal (especialmente) era increíblemente acogedor y amable, que parece ser que han cambiado (aunque la camarera que nos servía era encantador). Parece que ha ido cuesta abajo, que es una lástima. Pedí el pollo a la milanesa que sabían como goma en miga - yo no quería hacer una gran escena y así me comí la parte del pollo que estaba bien informado y un miembro del personal, que dijo que haría pasar la información a un gerente, no e hizo absolutamente nada. Él no viene a disculparse o sugerir un postre de cortesía. El plato en sí era 14 libras que era apenas tocado y nos dieron la factura sin descuento. Mi marido era nadar en los linguini al pesto pesto así él no disfrute de su comida, pero él no estaba a quejarme. Por desgracia no nos volveremos a Lorenzo.

Non sono ancora riuscito a trovare un ristorante che mi soddisfacesse pienamente a Londra, tuttavia devo dire che almeno questo ristorante italiano ha prezzi accettabili. La qualità del cibo non è il massimo, ma è quantomeno sufficiente, niente di speciale nemmeno il servizio, ma a sua volta è ok. Un posto indubbiamente da provare se si cerca un posto con prezzi tutto sommato contenuti senza troppe pretese...

We went there for a casual dinner. The ambience is simple and laid back. The starter was good, quiet old fashioned but didnt mind. The pasta was a very big portion soaked in sauce that tasted OK but nothing special or mentionable at all. We were expecting something much better.

My husband and I treated our grandson, his wife, and their two small children to lunch after a stroll in Crystal Palace Park. The restaurant is just up the hill from the park. My hubby and I had the pesto pasta which was good; the kids had pepperoni pizza, which they loved. For dessert I had the lemon sorbet served in a frozen lemon shell. It was delicious. The waitress was gracious and friendly. Everyone in our party left happy with bellies full and thirsts quenched!

I visited this restaurant with a friend. I had prawns to start. They were amazing and a good sized portion. We both had rib eye steak it was really good and cooked perfectly. The peppercorn sauce was lovely. Wine was great and the price was reasonable. Service was brilliant, very attentive and warm despite the restaurant being quite busy. Will be returning soon.

I visited this restaurant earlier this year and was so impressed, made a return visit. The aroma of Italian cooking hits you as you enter. Reasonably priced (for London) and great tasting food. Decent sized portions too. Excellent service.

Dieron un lujoso para un poco de pasta y no nos decepcionó, tuve spaghetti carbonara y estaba delicioso, así que bueno que volvimos dos días más tarde y una vez más, la comida era muy buena. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente, agradable restaurante acogedor, comida deliciosa y buen servicio.

Good food , plesent service. Good atmosphere. Rather cramped as the tables so close together, miserable waiter.Don’t agree with paying £16.00 as a tip for a group of 5 people.

Aparecimos aquí después de que nos dimos cuenta de que el restaurante indio habíamos planeado visitar había cerrado. Habíamos estado un par de veces antes, más concretamente para mi cumpleaños 40.

My wife and I visited this Restaurant which was close to our hotel several times during our week stay in March. It had a good atmosphere with good food and service. It is a very busy restaurant for obvious reasons so I would advise booking. Easy to find on the main street.

Very tasty food, good and fast service, nice and comfy ambience. Cant wait to go there again. Probably one more time this week will be there. It reminded me like i really am in Italy. Cos of the music as well
