If you’re in the mood for good ‘old home-style cooking’ made from scratch daily with the freshest of ingredients, then Laurenzo’s is your place.

    Our first time here, celebrating an early V-Day dinner. Our family gave us some gift cards, so we figured we would give this place a try. It all started great! Ordered our drinks, ordered our appetizer , ordered our salads, ordered our meal. Got our appetizer, then waited a LONG time and we were wondering what happened to our salads, next thing we know.... Our main course came out. The waiter came to the table and we asked what happened to our salads? Well, I guess he forgot. He apologized and asked if we still wanted them. We didnt want to eat a course dinner so we passed on the salads and ate our dinner. The waiter felt bad about the salad and gave us a dessert on the house. Everything was delicious. We paid the bill with the gift cards that we THOUGHT were $25 each, so we gave the waiter 5 gifts for our $115 bill. The waiter came back, gave me back one gift card and said we were good. The waiter told us that the gift cards were $50 each and that we had more than enough to cover the bill. He thanks us and we were on our way. As I walked to the car, I did the math in my head and concluded that there was still at least $35 left on one of the gift cards we gave him. So we went back and told him that the cards were $50 each and that I had given him $200 in gift cards and that one of the cards still had $$ and that we wanted that card back. After looking in the garbage can, he took the cards out and gave us the gift card back that had $35 still on it. Even though there were a few hiccups in this evening, we still enjoyed ourselves and we WOULD FOR SURE go back.
