Great place for a quick bite to eat. Service was friendly, prices were very reasonable and the food was delicious. The interior was clean and ambiance was that of a diner. It has a comfortable vibe about it. I enjoyed it and will be returning. Check it out and experience it for yourself. Don't judge the cafe based on the neighborhood, it's a working class area which most of the country is. There are a lot of good people that pass through their doors and depend on Lorenzo's for a hot meal.

My friend Tate told me about this place and I finally stopped by a couple of weeks ago, boy am I glad I did. I had the eggs benedict and it was one of the best I've ever had, the home fries are indeed homemade with just enough seasoning. The 2nd time, I had the eggs benedict with their homemade hash and that too was delicious. Today I had a simple BLT on their homemade Italian bread with a side of crispy, seasoned french fries. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous, staff is friendly too.

Yummy biscuits & gravy with enough to take home later as a snack!! Lucky us to enjoy this establishment again, food & service is exceptional!!

The food is amazing. Big portions and made worh care. Lots to choose from Daily soups. Salads sandwhiches breakfast Yum. Yum. A neighborhood gem Support Local

My wife and I eat here pretty often for breakfast in the last 5 yrs or so. It's a hidden gem. Food is always fresh, hot and reasonably priced, and the portions are great. Staff/service is always friendly and attentive. There menu for breakfast and lunch have an abundance of choices. I keep saying to my wife, we have to try it for lunch at some point. The sausage biscuits n gravy are the best I've had anywhere, other then my own...it's always consistent. Pancakes and waffles are also outstanding. Bacon is of good quality thick cut. Coffee is fresh and hot. My only complaint is there sausage links...they cut them in half length wise and cook. They lose there juice that way...I usually opt for there sausage patties. Overall it's a great no frills local diner that just gets it!!!

My wife and I are always on the lookout for someplace to go for breakfast after church on Sunday's. I have been driving past Lorenzo's for years, but never at a meal time. Well, this week we were in the area looking for breakfast and stopped in. The atmosphere is bright and friendly, the service excellent. I was happily surprised to find homemade hash, and even happier with the taste. The home fries are seasoned wonderfully and the Italian bread toast is light and airy. We've added Lorenzo's to our list of places to come back to. UPDATE: We've been back a number of times and always happy with both food and service. Then we stopped in for breakfast on Mother's Day. Lorenzo's was very busy and we had about a half-hour wait for a table. How any business deals with a situation that goes wrong is a true measure of the business and its commitment to its customers. We ended up waiting well over an hour for our food. There was a mixup with tickets in the kitchen. Both our waiter and the on shift manager apologized. They comp'd our entire bill. The wait was inconvenient, but not catastrophic and the apology was heartfelt and very welcome. They did not try to make excuses, just admitted their mistake and apologized. We'll be back. 2019-08-24 UP Just had the best "Bacon / BarBeeQue" burger I have ever had. Listed on the specials board as the "Cowboy Burger", beef patty, bacon, fried onions, cheese, and BBQ sauce. The balance between all the ingredients/flavors is perfect. 2019-11-24 Update We keep coming back and the food and service continue to be excellent. My current favorite is a meatball park sub with added pepperoni and onions 2023-03-18 Update Lorenzo's is still here and both food and service are great.

We ordered take away on a snowy Saturday and the wait time was reasonable, 45 minutes. My favorite dish was the chef salad. The iceberg was crisp, tasty vinagrette, lots of razor thin sliced white onions and several roll ups of swiss and ham and swiss and turkey. The beef sandwich with carmelized onions had a peppery au jous dipping sauce and was served on a big roll. The cheese quesdilla was some what bland and the sour cream and salsa were needed to spice it up. I was disappointed with the calamari. The portion was small and over fried. It seemed like the order was burnt and the cook gave us the only pieces of squid that were somewhat edible. A plus, the marinara sauce served with the calamari was excellent.

It's the details. They make their own corned beef hash. They make their own Italian bread for Italian toast. They ask if you want onions in your potatoes. They fill their cannoli to order. Yes, it's still a small ramshackle diner in Schenectady. And it does not put on any airs. There is traditional canned corned beef hash on the menu too. Syrup is "pancake" syrup served in a mystery squeeze bottle. The fat used to fried the potatoes tastes like food service goo. Placemats are printed with ads for businesses in the community. Sugar replacement packets are generic versions of brand names. But the crust the kitchen gets on that corned beef hash goes on for miles. And the tender strips of meat are just incredible succulent. Additionally, the lingering flavor satisfied me deep down until dinner. Plus the soft poached eggs crowning the whole thing had beautiful golden yolks. Real butter was used copiously, where it counted most... on the Italian toast. What I truly loved was when I asked the waitress if they filled their cannoli to order, she sounded almost insulted by the question. And it's an insulting insinuation. I get it. I really really do. But there are plenty of places where that's the norm. Even in Schenectady. Oh yeah. Also there was no line to get on on a Sunday around noon. Yet. This was my first visit, and I'm already a big fan. There will be many more. Five star love comes over time. But Lorenzo's is off to a very strong start.
