Lorenzo's Restaurant

by Drew
(Howell, New Jersey)

What a find.

I believe that we might have stopped in on the day before their grand opening when they were training, but they were very gracious and allowed us to be seated.

The bar is large and elegant. We didn't sit there, but we'll probably stop back for cocktails in the future.

After being sat in the dining room, we began with cocktails which were good.

They served us bruschetta while we perused the menu.

I ended up having the Chicken Sorrentino, and my wife had the lobster which she ordered right out of the large tank in the foyer.

The food was exceptional, and the service was beyond belief. I think part of the reason that the service was so good was because we were there before they opened and there were three servers. :)

There was a glitch or two later when we ordered a second drink but it was to be expected as they were just opening for the first time.

All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and we will be back.

Lorenzo is BACK!
by: Geri

I'm so glad he didn't disappear, or retire much too early. His was the was best spot in Freehold for many years. The months have passed, and his absence was glaring! The menu at the new rustic Howell restaurant just open since Dec. 20th is essentially the same reliable perfection you would have found at his old stomping ground. There are a few new surprises. Lorenzo, manager Brielle, and his staff always present a warm, inviting atmosphere, excellent service, and perfectly prepared dishes. Last Sunday, I had a special Osso Bucco prepared with a rich smothered onion sauce over rissoto. No, I've never had better. Around the table we ordered antipasto, hot potato leek soup, pasta, veal, and seafood. No one was disappointed! Do not run in for a quick bite- fast food dinner is not typical. Meals are individually prepared with care, therefore, give yourself time for dining. Lorenzo has a fabulous bar, tended by an experienced and friendly staff. This might be a better option if you want to run in for some drinks and appetizers.
Not sure what I'll order for dinner tonight!
