★★★★★ 5.0 John Tran · Nov 2025

We had a wonderful dinner service for a special occasion. Shout out to Marjan and the team for an impeccable experience. The food was light and very flavorful. We really enjoyed the calamari, ravioli, and halibut. Don’t sleep on the dessert either! The strawberry cobbler and limoncello were sublime! Will definitely return on our next trip to DC. Thank you again!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Elias Chelala (Chewy) · May 2025

San Lorenzo offers an incredible dining experience with warm ambiance, attentive service, and delicious food. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the seafood was fresh and flavorful. The wine list had great regional selections that paired beautifully with our meal. Whether you're stopping in for a casual dinner or a special occasion, this place delivers. Highly recommend the house-made tiramisu to finish things off!

★★★★★ 5.0 Young K · Feb 2026

The cocktails here are excellent, and the wine pairing recommended to us was particularly good. The seafood was clean and aromatic with no fishiness, which made the pasta very enjoyable. Even the bread was stunning. Overall the cooking is impressive! The meat dishes were tender and well prepared. It is slightly on the pricier side, but well suited for a special occasion. If I had to note a drawback, the space is rather small and the surrounding area feels a bit rough around the edges. Still, we left very happy and thoroughly satisfied.

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Maziarz · Oct 2025

Came in for lunch on a Saturday and had just a great experience. I ordered the combo - prosciutto sandwich (so good!) and the cauliflower soup (incredible!). Service was amazing - I couldn’t recommend San Lorenzo more. Must try.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 YJ · Jul 2025

I heard that this is one of michelin Star Restaurants in DC. We ordered ravioli and tonno with two salads. The ravioli was good, and the tunno was very well cooked, which is our favorite. After that, we ordered tiramisu and affogato. We thought we were going to taste real Italian tiramisu, but it was so so.
