Pros: Sits on P Street with a unique indoor atmosphere that combines the feel of a classy restaurant with a warm and welcoming home. We were sat at the window overlooking the street. The 5-course meal came over a 2 hour period, so there was no rush out. Great explanations of each course by the staff, and it was delicious. Things to consider: Expect to spend a somewhat considerable amount on this meal; it is an experience and priced as such. The drinks are similarly expensive, we did not opt for the optional wine pairing but enjoyed a glass of wine each. Although every table was taken, the volume is low. Conversations happen at a near whisper.

It's a typical choice-style tasting menu where you choose a dish from each of the courses. We started by sharing the antipasti that everyone gets and it was so good. The bread was perfect and the burrata was incredibly delicious. There was an excellent wine list and the staff gave great recommendations when I couldn't decide. We found a new favorite white wine! Everything was delicious from beginning to end but our favorites were the eggplant fritters, the antipasti, the wagyu (not A5 but still melt in your mouth and delicious), and the desserts. The butterscotch custard is one of my favorite desserts of all time now, and the chocolate cake with raspberry chip ice cream was incredible. Would absolutely love to come back, especially since the menu changes all the time!

All the food was great from the table bread w rosemary, creamy burrata, fried mozzarella, to my meal. Everyone in the party left pleased. Word of warning. If you order the chicken parm the chicken is massive. Three people ate off one person's plate and she still took some home. Would recommend this for groups or just a fun meal w friends.

I made a reservation for this spot on the wharf with my partner and kids. They sat us on the second…read morefloor, which is a gorgeous space. The restaurant is interesting, with a bar area on the first floor, cafe and store also on the first, a nice inside restaurant on the second floor, an outdoor balcony that is enclosed on colder days and a rooftop section. The overall experience was good, though did have some kinks. The place has a lower rating, and I guess I can see why. But overall, we did enjoy our evening. We were seated on the outdoor balcony. The windows were all closed except for the one, which really cooled the place down on the cold night. We asked several staff about closing it. They were insisting that people wanted it open. After a few times asking, they did close it and everyone was cheering us since they were freezing and wearing jackets as the sun went down. They also have heaters on the balcony. They don't turn them on unless asked. We moved here from LA and that is something they always do at night. It surprised us they didn't turn them on since it really helped after they turned the one on by our table. Our server was very friendly and sweet. We appreciated how nice she was to our family, but at the same time, it felt like she had a lot of tables. Our food arrived fairly quickly, and we didn't get our wine until about 45 minutes after the food was served. The bar apparently was really backed up. But still, a little shocking that a carafe of wine would take that long. We were hoping to enjoy the red wine with our pasta, but we enjoyed it as an after dinner drink. The prices are a little high, which is something a lot of reviewers dislike. It was fine and in our opinion, typical of a higher end Italian restaurant. I think the main issue at this place is the slow service of the bar and the overwhelmed staff. It really felt like it was on a skeleton crew and there was a real lack of action as everyone had to check with management before anything could happen. A great example is that we had reservations for the outside balcony. I asked if we could be inside instead and every person said they'd have to check. We ended up just staying outside but we would have loved to go indoors. Throughout the night, there were multiple empty tables inside. It just felt like the place was not managed well. The food was good overall. My partner got the risotto, which was by far the best of all the dishes. I got the Tagliatelle, which was also good but I still liked my partner's risotto the best. We also ordered pasta for our daughter, meatballs over polenta (also really tasty) and our son got a Caesar salad. There is also bread that you can order, but not on the menu which struck us as odd. It's $3.50 extra. Fine but not exactly told up front after ordering when we asked if we could get bread. Overall, the service is friendly but feels very inconsistent. The food is good and the ambiance is great. Are there other greater places on the wharf? Yes! But it's still a nice option. We'd come back. But it was still a little frustrating overall since some aspects just seemed really odd. Like why not close the windows outside when clearly everyone is freezing their, you know what off!

From the intro milk bread to the caviar sorbet to the fried bread pudding, each bite was perfectly crafted and absolutely delicious. The pork and lychee salad, as everyone says, is a huge standout! The pasta in papillote was hearty and rich, while the udon with clams was light and fantastic. The cod, while a little less flaky than I prefer, was served on a delicious sauce with perfect wasabi on the side. And the fried chicken was EXTRAORDINARY! Probably the best fried chicken I've ever had. Our server Jacob was fantastic: extremely patient, thoughtful, and funny as well. He made the night a huge success for us and took care of us extraordinarily well. Every staff member was extremely kind and constantly enhancing the experience without being overwhelming. The interior is beautiful, and I love the open kitchen. I hope I can come back one day and sit at the kitchen counter!

Going in, I knew the restaurant was gorgeous but pictures don't do A.B. justice. As soon as you enter, you see the semi-circle velvet seating, the intimate booths and this amazing bar display. I immediately had a snap a picture! Early as usual, I started off at the bar where they have a nice HH menu. I tried one of the recommended cocktails that was very good. The calamari was BANGIN! My friend schooled me and said it was tempura style which was why it tasted so good. Well, other restaurants need to take notes.. For real! Once we were done at the bar, the lovely hostess led us to our booth for dinner. We kept it simple, I had the Delmonico Ribeye sliced and she had the Branzino. She's a hard critic, much harder than me and she had to admit, both meals were BOMB!! Prepared perfectly, we both agreed.. We'll be BACK!

We chose the risk and slipped into San Lorenzo Restaurant for the second time. It felt less like dining out and more like returning to a place that already knows how to treat you well. The service was impeccable. Not stiff. Not hovering. Just that rare choreography where every plate arrives at the right moment and every glass is refilled before you realize you are looking for it. It is the kind of hospitality that makes a weeknight feel like an occasion. The food? Absolutely delicious. We started with squash blossoms. Then, the ravioli-- tasted like it had been crafted with quiet confidence. Then came the pasta with rabbit, which I will admit made me hesitate. Completely unnecessary. It was buttery, tender, and rich in the most balanced way, the kind of dish that makes you pause mid bite and rethink your previous fears. I also love their non alcoholic wine options. So often that category feels like an afterthought. Folks have N/A wine that tastes like juice. But, theirs felt intentional, curated, and worthy of the meal. Second visit, same delight. We will definitely be back.

The waiters were very attentive with waters, clean up, and following up with our dishes. Although, I could tell they were trying to upsell me every time I tried to order something, which I rather not deal with for most dining occasions. Place is cozy with some Italian decor and Italian music playing. Everything was pretty good in my opinion; can't say that I can choose which course was my favourite! We had the duck prosciutto as an appetizer, which was a special. It was delicious with the cooked duck taste, alongside the toast with very vibrant jam. My vongole pasta was good too; I do like pasta more on the firmer side, which it was. It tasted great with the calm, garlic, and olive oil - simple, yet tasty. The tiramisu itself was fine, but I believe it was enhanced even more with the sauces and cookie bit on the top; the cookie bit was too good. I definitely would like to come back to try some of their other things!

OK it's time for another update on my love affair with Al Tiramisu!…read moreTonight was no different than all the other nights I have eaten dinner there. It was perfect! The atmosphere? Warm and inviting on a cold February night. The service? Professional, friendly and efficient. The food? Excellent and unique, even a dish that could be mundane like chicken breast. Honestly, how - after 66 years on this earth and countless chicken breasts consumed - can I rave about a chicken breast??? But the chicken breast at Al Tiramisu is different. The presentation was beautiful - sliced and then arranged back together like the chef was Michelangelo himself. The small amount of juice around the chicken was excellent - butter and salt and rosemary and a veritable symphony of umami flavors! Divine! The lobster bisque is like no other I have ever had in my entire life and I go back and forth to Maine several times every year! But I have never eaten lobster bisque as smooth, as liquid-gold as this with so much banging flavor!!! Every spoonful exploded in my mouth. When I was done, I used the bread to soak up every leftover dribble! I know, I know, this review is a little bit over the top, isn't it? But Al Tiramisu deserves it! Luigi, Nadja and the entire staff run a restaurant which cannot be surpassed. Treat yourself! Go to Al Tiramisu!!!!
