Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Uptown

Everything was awesome! The bread pudding was amazing!

My girlfriends and I gathered from all over the country back home in New Orleans to have a Christmas meal together. San Lorenzo exceeded exceptions. Our server Madison A made sure we had the most special dining experience and shared her knowledge of the wine selection and which would pair best with each dish of every course. We felt like family with smiles and greetings from all the staff and the overall warm atmosphere. The dining area itself is very cozy with an exclusive feel. Sort of like a secret local gem where you can come as you are and always feel like a VIP. My friends and I will definitely be making this a regular rendezvous when we’re able to make it back home and we will certainly ask to be in Madison’s section everytime!

Awesome ambience during the holidays. The drinks and food were great and our staff made us feel special. The dark chocolate pistachio balls at the end of the meal are amazing.

Sofia is always an incredible experience but especially tonight’s! We had 10 people and the waitress was so attentive (I think her name was Rhianon) and fast with our drinks and food as well as being so kind. Thank you so much Sofia for giving us a fantastic night out! 12/18/2024

This was our first visit. The overall experience was good but was disappointed that the hostess counted locate our reservation. After a couple of minutes and several questions, she did seat us anyway. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food was great. The salad dressing was a little on the tart side but that is simply personal taste. The entrees were very flavorful, prepared as ordered and served promptly. Dining room noice level was low, even as the room filled. Overall, will return and recommend to others.
