Owners Lorenzo and Cosima employ their entire familial clan at Lorenzo’s Pizza and Pasta, a family-oriented eatery that regales guests with a menu of made-from-scratch Italian fare and New York–style pizzas. Homemade caprese ($8.95) pairs homemade mozzarella with tomatoes and basil, priming patrons for an opulently stuffed calzone ($6.95) brimming with ham, mozzarella, and ricotta. Crafted from scratch daily, thin-crust dough welcomes a medley of fresh ingredients, including spinach, sausage, and eggplant, also lending itself to such specialty pies as the Gran-ma pizza ($20.95), which hushes hungry diners with a gooey quilt of homemade mozzarella and marinara sauce before slipping a dime into their pocket for moon pies later. Served with piping-hot garlic knots, pasta dishes swim in any number of homemade sauces, such as the a la vodka’s creamy, pink vodka concoction, which teams up with diced prosciutto and onions to drench penne, ziti, spaghetti, or linguini noodles ($9.50). Kaleidoscopic scoops of spumoni ice cream sate sweet teeth as diners relax or watch majestic birdwatchers in their natural habitat beneath lush foliage on Lorenzo’s outdoor patio.
