Ambiance is in the eye of the beholder. Youngsters love Lorenzo's because there is room to move around and, at least on this occasion, enough privacy that no one is disturbed by toddler antics and the rest of us can enjoy their exuburance! Probably not a great pick for date night, but if you are looking for an outstanding Italian red pasta sauce and a reasonably priced night out for the fam--Lorenzo's is the place in Belton!
We started with the fried ravioli, mozzarella sticks, and meatball appetizer. The star of the bunch was the red sauce accompanied by each. Lorenzo's meat sauce can't be beat. Great depth of flavor makes this the "go to" selection from the menu. That being said, don't overlook the seafood ravioli recommended by the server. Honestly, I was worried that this was going to be frozen pasta cooked from a bag purchased at Costco, but the ravioli was full of big chunks of crab and seafood--very impressive for the cost. My only disappointment was the edges of the dish were dried out including exposed areas of the ravioli. Did it sit under warming lights too long? While our server did a great job servicing our group of 9, perhaps the kitchen struggled with the timing of the pastas. And let us not forget to mention a crisp, tasty glass of Riesling for $4.50.
Mrs. Refs final score at the restaurant was 3.5/5.0, but on reflection--I think I will move it to 4.0/5.0!
