This Italian deli and market is a true staple in the community! I've been coming here for many…read moreyears, and growing up in the Santa Monica and Venice area, it's one of those places you simply have to know about. If you're visiting the area, I highly recommend making a stop here. My biggest piece of advice is to go early because it gets incredibly busy by lunchtime--and for good reason! Keep in mind they are closed on Monday and Tuesday. While you can order online, I'll always choose to go inside so I can browse everything they have to offer. Their selection of fresh pasta salads is fantastic, and the desserts are always tempting. Whether you're craving lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, a chicken Parmesan sandwich, or one of their many other Italian specialties, you really can't go wrong. Be sure to check out the wine section in the back left of the market. It's extensive and absolutely incredible! This is the kind of place that keeps people coming back year after year, and it's easy to see why. Being Italian American and growing up with an Italian mother who loved feeding everyone, this was one of our favorite places to visit together. Those memories make every trip here even more special. My personal favorite is the Godmother sandwich--hands down one of the best you'll ever have. It's packed with flavor, made with quality ingredients, and it's the sandwich I find myself craving every time I come back. One of the things I love most about this place is the atmosphere. It has an energy that immediately makes you think of family. Everyone is genuinely kind, welcoming, and happy to help, making you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door. It has that warm, old-school Italian family vibe that's becoming harder and harder to find, and it's a big part of what makes this place so special.

I'll be thinking about this sandwich for a LONG time. I had the large godmother ($15.50) which…read morecomes with prosciutto, ham, capicola, mortadella, salami, and provolone. I had it with "the works" (lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, mustard, Italian dressing, pickles, and peppers). The bread was absolutely phenomenal and made the sandwich. It was extremely filling and the meat was a great proportion. They also have a serious selection of cold antipasto - I tried the cucumber salad and the marinated mushrooms and both were good. They have seating outside where you can enjoy your prepared foods and plastic silverware at the checkout. They have a great dried goods selection (one of the best tinned fish sections I've ever seen) and a wine shop that I didn't check out but that looked pretty impressive. The hot bar (with things like chicken parm, meatballs, lasagna, etc) smelled wonderful. I wish they were open for dinner because I would have gone back for my second meal of the day! Overall one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. A must visit if you're in the area.

I forgot the name of the person helping but she was super friendly and helpful! Shout out to her…read moresince she was so kind to let me know they dog friendly. I would recommend the spot, they have a parking lot that they share with F45 so depending on when you come, could be full but you can always park on Sepulveda. Food was fantastic, I like the garlic yogurt sauce with the Mamani and the tuna salad was delicious. They have protein shakes (they're right across from F45 so genius move on their end) with the option of whey or pea protein. Seems like a new local business so definitely go to give your support! The staff is really friendly and nice. Biggest tip: if you're walking or didn't park in the garage, the entrance to the place is a doorbell you ring on the gate next to the bus stop. I circled around twice until I finally noticed that.

It was more so a sweet pistachio milk with a hint of matcha. Pistachio flavor was good though. A solid option if you want a matcha, but don't want a "real" matcha lol. To eat, the baba's chicken caesar wrap and that was okay as well. It tasted pretty healthy which I do like, but a lot of the components made it feel like I was eating cardboard. The creamy sauce did help though and I loved the crunchy and refreshing side salad. Interior and bathrooms are pretty clean with a good amount of seating, tables, and outlets. The baristas here were super nice and welcoming. The music can get a bit loud though especially the one coming from the fitness room it's connected to. To park, you just need to follow the signs inside the building for the free covered parking. Solid study spot with decent drinks and food. I would consider coming back.

After paying $24 for a veggie sandwich at Gjusta, I have new found appreciation for the team at…read moreBread Head. Their mozzarella sandwich is a masterpiece with Fresh Ovoline Mozzarella, Avocado, Alfalfa Sprouts, Pickled Red Onion and a delicious Za'atar Spread. What makes it stand out as one of the best sandwiches in LA is the bread. They make their own focaccia several times a day and it is divine. Probably the only other place that can dare to match their creations is La Zucca at the Beverly Hills Cheese Store. Some of our other favorites is the tuna sandwich. Service is always on point and the sandwich travels well for consuming it at home. There isn't a ton of space to sit, but there is some counter style seating. Tip: Their menu is limited by choice. Check their Daily specials (Sandwich of the Day) for inspiration. They have 3 kids sandwiches (all are meat based). Tip: The biggest challenge is parking, sometimes metered parking is available. Otherwise, park for free in neighborhood streets away from Montana. It's a pleasant walk.

We liked it so much that we made a plan to come back next week. So we went to today and I ordered a BLT with turkey added, no problem. My girlfriend asked for the veggie wrap in a sandwich form and the guy at the register said "we don't do modifications". My girlfriend responded by saying they were able to do it last time so could you check. He looked fairly new and had trouble putting in my order in the register since I modified it by adding turkey. So he went to the back and just asked, do we do modifications? To which the guy in the back said no. She's vegan and that's all she can have off the menu so she ended up not getting anything and she was bummed since she really liked the sandwich they made last time. So we won't be coming back here and this place gets one star based on the customer service. It's a sandwich shop, if it's an extra charge to put a veggie wrap into a sandwich no problem. But the hard NO when it was made last time is PRETTY LAME for a sandwich shop not being able to make a veggie sandwich.

We got the giardiniera sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches I've eaten. The prosciutto and cheese with the homemade giardiniera was an amazing balance of flavors. For those who don't know what giardiniera is, it's pickled veggies. After having this sand which, I googled a recipe to make giardiniera asap! The bread was perfectly soft and crunchy. I HIGHLY recommend this sandwich if you're considering eating here at Lorenzo. The location is small - space for about 6 people inside and two small tables outside. The service was fine - not bad but not necessarily friendly. I will be back in a heartbeat for this sandwich!

First time here and opted for the Cotto, which had Prosciutto Cotto, truffle cream, brie cheese, lemon zest and truffle oil and black pepper for $22. Their homemade and freshly baked focaccia bread was sooo good! Toasted perfectly. Not too crispy, not too soft. Their finely shaved prosciutto felt like butter, along with the perfect combination of Brie and Lemon. SIMPLY DELICIOUS! Cynthia and Renato have brought an incredible sandwich spot to Beverly Hills! Cynthia took my order and she is as sweet as can be! And Renato was busy preparing all the orders. It was bustling with the lunch crowd so super busy but I was able to snag a spot inside and listen to the great music they had playing. I rarely give a five star review but I truly love this place! I definitely need to come back over and over again to try all the other sandwich options. One of the best!

I ordered The Old Sport, my husband had The Peter, and our three-year-old daughter went with the classic PB&J. We all absolutely LOVED our sandwiches. We also had the chance to meet the two owners (a woman and her partner), who were so friendly and incredibly sweet to our daughter -- such a nice touch that made the visit even more memorable. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the ingredients are refreshingly simple. I really appreciate that they don't use fake processed meats -- they keep it straightforward, yet the sandwiches are still outstanding. The bread deserves a mention too: crisp on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside. I rarely hand out five stars, but they've earned it here. Making sandwiches taste this good with such simple and whole ingredients is no easy feat, yet they pull it off nicely. Highly recommend this spot for both carnivores and vegans alike!

We finally made the trek to north Montana! We ordered the Peter and Wanda. I liked the Wanda more…read more The eggplant in the Peter was a little heavy handed on the salt or soy sauce. I loved the caramelized onions and mushrooms in Wanda. The bread was top 10 breads we've tried. The lettuce was crispy and the tomatoes had a bite. The $20 sandwiches are a little sticker shocking considering there is no protein. Maybe the cheeses are made from nuts. I would definitely appreciate like a marinated tofu slice or even slab or tempeh with the existing dressings/sauces. The old sport had the chickpeas so we'll get that next time. My partner was obsessed with the walnut date syrup brownie.
