We went back, after an initial visit, hoping things would be better. They weren't, it's a bit cramped in there. Also after eating, what we all thought, were small portions, we were enjoying friends company, when we were asked if we could pay our bill...as they wanted our table!!! The table next to us, were there before us and like us, had finished their meal and were drinking, the same as us. Having felt being pushed out, if it was the last Italian restaurant available, I would rather stay at home or have fish and chips. At least I would be full. We will never return.More

This is our favourite Italian restaurant and have been quite a few times ,however this visit was a bit different...I know everything as gone up in price and I was accepting of the 20% price increase but I didn't expect adjustments in the menu clearly...done to cur costs...For the starter we had ribs...delicious but much smaller in portion size,normally 3 decent sized ribs now reduced to 2 smaller ones....We both ordered the chicken with spinach our always choice Normally 2 decent sized chicken breast in a delicious sauce with spinach...what we got this time were two chicken parcels....chicken around the outside with the spinach stuffed inside...yet again a clear cost cutting exercise... I know things are difficult for everyone at this time but doing this will lose regular customers..Sorry for this review but it has to be saidMore

Our first visit and certainly won’t be our last. We were a party of 7 and everybody commented on how good the food was - nibbles, starters and mains. The service was equally as good - polite and efficient, despite me being delayed by 90...minutes due to attending a medical emergency.More

Great food and great service, we cannot fault this place. One of our favourite restaurants in town. Recommend booking as they are nearly always full. Salmon Thermidor is definitely worth a try.

As it was our anniversary we came across this Italian family run Restaurant last minute, and as big fans of Mussels we couldn’t wait to try it. Absolutely delicious and such a warming customer service, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely too. We...will surely be back to try out more. Would definitely recommend for any occasion at any time. Thankyou San Lorenzo.More

My sister and I have frequently eaten at San Lorenzo over the past few years. It’s an independent, authentic Italian restaurant, small but perfectly formed, with a welcoming atmosphere and generous menu. The service and food are excellent and we would highly recommend it. The...filet steak is the best I’ve ever tasted and I’m reluctant to order it anywhere else. The restaurant is licensed but you can also take your own wine. Well worth a visit.More

Another visit to our favourite place, this restaurant ticks all the right boxes, It's clean with flavoursome food and good portions, friendly staff and reasonable prices. We were a bit astonished about a previous review about how badly they were treated, this doesn't sound like...the San Lorenzo that we dine in, there must be another side to the story. My husband is disabled but when ever we visit the restaurant the manager is always at the door to help him in and same again when we are leaving when the taxi arrives.. The fillet steak here is the best in town. The goats cheese starter with marinated pear and walnuts is delicious and so is the avocado with crab and prawn salad. Everything is good that's why we're always stuck for choice.More

No room for a wheelchair at the tables and no disabled toilet. Horrible experience would not recommend. Added photos of...steps to toilet and front of restaurant.
