Lorenzo's Restaurante Italiano de Old Messilla

Frommer's Review

In a spirited building with lots of brick and with murals depicting rural scenes on the walls, the restaurant offers the feel of a Sicilian village cafe, a good indication of the quality of the food here. Rather than fancy Italian food like you find in many cities, this restaurant serves traditional Sicilian meals, with lots of red sauces and homemade pasta. It's big with locals, and it fills up, so you may want to make reservations. The atmosphere is jovial and the service is good, though it can be a bit slow because the food is cooked in-house. You can't go wrong with standards such as spaghetti marinara or lasagna, or for something more adventurous, try the linguini and clams. Meals are served with bread so good you'll have a tough time stopping yourself from eating it all, and a salad of freshly tossed greens. Wash it down with a carafe of Chianti or your favorite beer.
