"If you have been here already then you already know. This place it top notch. The service, food atmosphere is all terrific. We had dinner on Saturday night and you just feel like you are at a event. The place is just buzzing. Great food great time terrific family owned. The kind of place that's worthy of my hard earned coin for a dinner out"

"I'm still so full. We shared a large antipasto salad and a small Margarita Pizza. Everything is good to eat in this restaurant. You will love the food. We sat in the new enclosure with those heat lamps with fire directed in them... yeah it set off the ambience. Nice. Water with lemon set out ahead of time at our tables. We had 16 people together. Awesome service. We were greeted with small plates of something similar to tomato pie to me. It's complimentary and yummy. They have a pretty good selection of drinks. The menu selection was sufficient. Everyone had something different from us and everyone ate everything. There was a good crowd there and the owner came out to say hello to everyone and my companion in particular. They know each other. Good food. Great service. Looks nice, feels nice in there. What more do you need? Go try them out. You won't be sorry!"

"I'm working a contract in the area for a couple of months, and have been trying a lot of restaurants. This has definitely become one of my main go-to places! The pizzas are great, the pasta dishes are great. I've gotten great service every time, doing both takeout and dining in. My favorite pizza is the Americana, just perfect every time. Also the wings are awesome with their special honey garlic sauce! House salad Italian dressing is creamy and tasty, I don't normally care for Italian dressing but love this version. The chicken parmesan was a huge serving, and the gnocchi special one week was some of the best I've ever had."

"For those biking the Empire State Trail, Lorenzo’a Southside is PERFECTLY located directly beside the trail and in the shadow of Amsterdam Castle. The restaurant has a roomy “outside” seating area in addition to the inside portion and was very accommodating to large groups, the possibility of pets and, well, me. The wait staff was fabulous and the pasta was to die for! I ordered the gnocchi pomodoro and it melted in my mouth…SO GOOD! A Sam Adams Oktoberfest was perfect for the season and if you are interested in a cocktail, try the Italian Old Fashioned."
