Pizzaiolo Italian Eatery

Walking into Lorenzo's felt like stepping into a modern take on the classic Italian-American…read morerestaurants I grew up with--cozy, welcoming, and unpretentious. The ambiance has a nostalgic charm, updated just enough to feel fresh without losing that comforting neighborhood vibe. The menu sticks to the classics--veal parm, spaghetti and meatballs, eggplant parm--the kind of fare you expect and appreciate. While it doesn't quite reach the level of homemade pasta and authentic dishes you'd find in Boston's North End, it's solid, satisfying food. A nice touch: warm Italian bread served in a paper bag--simple, smart, and it stays warm throughout the meal. The homemade soups were excellent. Both the minestrone and chicken orzo were hearty, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The eggplant fingers appetizer didn't quite live up to my expectations, but they were crispy, not greasy, and still had a good flavor. The kids' spaghetti came simply with butter and Parmesan cheese--classic, but a bit heavy on the butter this time. The meatball sub was a hit, served on a proper Italian roll with a good balance of meat, sauce, and bread. Service was a highlight. All the staff were friendly and attentive, and our server was especially outstanding--she even retrieved my granddaughter's favorite bracelet after it fell behind the booth. Above and beyond! Overall, Lorenzo's is a dependable local spot with a homey feel, traditional Italian comfort food, and excellent service. A great place for a casual, satisfying meal with family.

Drove around twice however in the second trip around the blonde hair manager was walking outside so I told her we had reservations and where should we park. Her response after shrugging her shoulders!, "I don't know..maybe across the street?" And turned away and kept walking ! So I made my own parking spot ! Went inside and was seated! Had to wait almost 15 minutes for the waitress to come over....took our drink order.....took a while to get them! We had to ask for them. She then took our order....asked if we wanted bread and walked away. Came with bread but no butter so had to ask for that too! Meals came and never once did she come by to see if we needed anything or if your meals were good and please know the restaurant was NOT busy at all! The parking was for their outside entertainment! Just so sad. We have been dining here for over 30 years! Won't be returning ! Waitresses there do not care enough to accommodate their patrons but I'm sure complain when their tips aren't good! Gone are the days where customers were treated well and waitresses cared!

In the course of our time only two other tables were occupied in the dining room. The food was good, nothing to really blow your mind. Pasta wasn't home made and how they price it, it should be. The service was VERY slow. I'm not sure if our waitress was also cooking maybe ? I got a martini and my fiancé got a beer. It took ten minutes to get to us. The food took even longer. We sat for a long time before our waitress noticed and brought us our boxes and check. I would say go if you have a long time to spare, but if you're paying a babysitter by the hour definitely budget for a longer time out. This isn't something ide normally write about especially if they were busy but it was a Thursday night, only two other tables so it wasn't busy. My lobster seafood ravioli was good but didn't come with a good portion. It had 4 ravioli, two shrimp and two scallop. Not a ton for the high price tag of $36. Ide like to give them another shot since we are very local ! Hopefully this was just a one off ?

We were given a 40 min wait time, about 30 min in my husband and I got a seat at the bar. I was charged $33 for 2 dirty martini with Tito's. That is Boston prices in Middleboro. Burnt ends were ok, but meat was tough at times and gritty. My husband got the brisket Mac n cheese, I got the NY sirloin with rice and broccoli. Both my husband and I agreed it was a mix of overpriced SYSCO food and the "two crazy millennials with dream to make a restaurant!" Which translates to paying too much money for mediocre food. The inside looks good, and their whiskey selection is extensive. Staff was attentive, I was just hoping for more. Attached a pic of the bill bc I was charged for "Tito's" and "make it a martini" as well as drinks and food.

She was attentive without hovering, giving us just the right amount of attention throughout the meal. The food also came out warm and fast. We ordered two cups of chowder, and both were hot, delicious, and filled to the brim. The kids really enjoyed the french fries, which was a huge win for us. We sat out on the patio, and the experience was perfect. There was live music starting at 5:30 on a Monday afternoon, which was ideal for anyone who likes to be home early. I also have to mention the entertainment--Jim Armstrong was one of the best singers we've heard in this area. Stone Forge offers outdoor seating, an outdoor bar, indoor seating, and plenty of shaded patio spots with umbrella coverage if you don't want to be in the sun. The bathrooms are large and very clean, and the restaurant itself is also spotless. Highly recommend Stone Forge--between the warm, quick food, the great atmosphere, and Jamie's excellent service, we'll definitely be back!

You will find a true taste of Italy when you stop by Pizzaiolo and sample their genuine cuisine. Authentic Italian food at its best. Fresh bread and pastries brought in daily from the North End, homemade sauce, delectable pizza and pasta. I had the Italian Sub and some mushroom pizza, and they brought me back to my youth in Boston and the old world eateries of the North End. SImple and delicious. If you love Italian food and want the real deal, simply put, this is the place to visit. read more

For decades my husband and his family were loyal patrons of Middleboro's, most popular pizza…read morerestaurant, Central Cafe. However, for the past 2 to 3 years, whenever we've visited my husband's hometown, Central Cafe has not lived up to those glorious memories of family dining. In the past year on at least five separate occasions, we have had one bad experience after another ordering from Central Cafe. We've experienced burnt pizzas, stale sub sandwich bread, Caesar salad with NO Caesar dressing available (???), and now the latest order with French fries that tasted as if they'd been sitting in the car for a week!! On top of the downhill trajectory of Central Cafe's food quality, in the past 5 years, their prices have skyrocketed, with some menu items, like their "Meat Lovers" pizza increasing more than 50% in price! On top of the price changes, for more than a year, with their new menu prices in full effect, Central Cafe refused to supply menus to customers that requested them. When my husband asked for a new menu, he was told that they only had the laminated ones available to those ordering from inside the restaurant. On this last occasion, my husband planned to take a picture of the menu when he went to pick up our order, but he was told that "so many people complained that [they] brought [the paper menus] back". As if the doubly-priced subpar food wasn't enough of an insult to its legacy, Central Cafe charges an additional $3.00 "takeout fee", a hidden fee added to all takeout orders that nobody mentions until you question why your total is so high. And if you order "plain chicken fingers", an employee will kindly ask "mild or hot?" in reference to the buffalo sauce (that you did not order) that they charge an extra 75¢ for. For a burnt meatball sub in stale bread comes with soggy fries, an order of chicken fingers, and 2 orders of soggy sweet potato fries, the total of our takeout order was $55 and some change. After calling to confirm the order was correct, that is when we were able to take the 75¢ sauce off of the order, and I decided that $9.00 was just too much for sweet potato fries, especially once we realized they were stale and l most ikely reheated in a microwave. Needless to say, today's visit to Central Cafe is our last. Our previous visit would have been our last, but because of our last visit's lousy food, we were given a gift certificate for the next. In the end, the food we received today wasn't worth the money we paid even with the $25 gift certificate reduction off the total. Longtime patrons of Central Cafe are aging and I would be surprised if they are gaining any new ones. It's time to make a change or they are doomed to fail.
