San Lorenzo's in one of the city's premiere Italian spots that isn't relying on the homely, rustic style that is the usual hallmark of Italian restaurants. The aim is modern cuisine that fuses classic Italian ingredients with a New York style of cooking. The interior is dark with light wooden benches in booths. You can just about peek into the action of the kitchen while sitting but when you take a trip to the unisex bathrooms you can find yourself transfixed with an eagle eye view of the culinary action.
The cooking uses great ingredients to create upmarket versions of some classics like chicken cacciatore, bruschetta and pannacotta. Local producers supply the high-quality meat and fish and the wine list is also excellent. A different and more interesting take on your usual Italian.
