Editorial Review for Fat Lorenzo's – by Annamarie Adkins

In Short
Chubby cherubs waltz with plump tomatoes on the ceiling, while the dining room is snug with high booths and little tables. Friends, neighbors and families come for red-sauce, old-school Italian-American fare. Everything is big, filling and usually delicious. The grilled stromboli is packed with meat and oozy cheese, and the rich, hot artichoke dip is served with garlicky little slices of Italian bread. The appropriately named Fat's pizza--New York style--is loaded with hand-cut ingredients.

Pizza ok for a real Italian, but for all american city boy, toppings scarce, too much tomato sauce, little flavor except tomato sauce. However, the steak and cheese sandwich is 'to die for'. A Hot Hoagie thats toasted, full flavored, red dipping sauce, a real taste treat. Plenty of melted tasty cheese, don't forget extra pepperocini's (sp?)....Prices moderate to high for takeout food. Eat in is a questionable experience. Overall, if you already know what you like on their menu, you're safe.

Pros: great hoagie, experience you will remember

Cons: ambience, parking, experience you will remember, pizza

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
