A classic Italian spot doing all the right things. While in Cruces there aren't many spots to eat,…read morebut this should be one of them. We ordered the following: -fettuccine Alfredo, delicious and so creamy -cheese raviolis, love the marinara -green chili lasagna, my partner really like it (has meat) -house salad The complimentary bread is so soft and warm. So many vegetarian options! Pet friendly patio. Service was very friendly and quick. No servers here, but you don't need it. Just order at the counter and pick a seat. There is also plenty of seating inside and out. So glad I skipped out on the other big box Italian chain for this.

There is an area for water and your Togo containers and napkins and silverware. There is no one to waits on you it is self serve. The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars is for the food and the decor. The very nice young man and lady that took our order, They deserve 5 stars helpful and attentive when we were looking over the menu. The food on the other hand...The pizza and bread was good. The chicken Alfredo tasted like Marie calendars microwaveable trays. Seemed like this place was hanging on by a thread.

My girlfriend and I came in tonight and honestly... wow…read more I got the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and she got the Pesto Penne with chicken added, and both dishes were incredible. I've eaten a lot of Italian food over the years, and this was easily some of the best I've had. The Alfredo was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor without feeling heavy. The pesto penne was fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. We kept trading bites because we couldn't decide which one was better. Even before the entrees came out, the salad and bread were amazing. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. Nothing felt rushed or mass-produced. You can tell there is real pride behind the food here. What stood out just as much was the hospitality. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and made us feel genuinely appreciated. We had the chance to chat with the owner's mother before leaving, and that level of warmth really reflects what this restaurant is about. It's rare to find a place where every part of the meal hits, from the bread and salad all the way to the last bite of pasta,but Lorenzo's absolutely delivered. We'll be back, and we'll be bringing friends and family with us. If you're in Las Cruces and wondering whether this place is worth trying, the answer is yes.

I ordered delivery tonight, and was extremely disappointed in the chicken Piccata. , this was not…read morechicken Piccata it was more like soggy, paper thin, breaded chicken, in a lemon noodle soup, and really, that was not pulled off either. This dish was 24$! Outflippenrageous!! On the upside, I ordered the Green Chile sausage soup, and it was wonderful flavor wise. I think it was at the bottom of the pot, most of the veg was dissolved, but super delicious! I've had their pizza before, also not a fan, it's always so soggy. The topping choices are fabulous but I can't stand a wet pizza. But I love their chicken fettuccine alfredo!! So, in all, I now realize that I should've known when I couldn't find 1 review for the Piccata, it was not well liked. My advice, get the green chile soup, green chile alfredo or regular alfredo w/grilled chicken, and you'll be happy.

Disappointing meal on this visit…read more We have been here multiple times, and usually order the same things. I have previous 5* reviews here. I'm hoping tonight was an off night. The insalata paolo was half the size it normally had been. It's supposed to be a salad for 2, tonight it was a salad for 1. The salmon pasta was plain, the salmon was raw, and seemed to be deep fried. We sent it back, and after a long wait we got another piece of oily deep fried salmon that was raw on the inside. The focaccia bread served with the pasta was rock hard and stale. We gave up and checked out. The server seemed busy and rushed, but was nice enough to take the salmon off the bill.

We had their Tuscan Tortellini with shrimp and it was absolutely delicious. Because they prepare their food with an artisan approach the ingredients (including the pasta) was so fresh and possessed great seasoning and texture! Their website also made it so easy and straight forward to order online for a takeaway pick up. Highly recommended! Thank you Zeffiro's and thank you Las Cruces (we were just passing through, you see!) : )

Updating my review of this amazing spot for moles just to add some more photos and details. Many…read moremoles later, this place is still my very favorite place for moles. They are simply magic here both in terms of flavor complexity and texture. Their texture here is truly the best. I literally was licking the plate at the end of each of these. I tried all four of their moles as plates and also as a sampler on four different occasions and all are very complex, rich, creamy and satisfying. -Mole Poblano. "A not so sweet ajillo pepper mole sauce with traditional ingredients and a touch of Oaxaca chocolate." This was the first we tried here and what brought us back for more. -Mancha Manteles mole: This mole is described on their menu as: "Sweet pineapple, red apples, fried plantain and a wonderful choice of spices make this mole a great and unique experience". This mole like their other ones came out piping hot, creamy, thick, complex and delicious. -Mole Negro: Chichilo pepper and tomatillo mole sauce with a smoky taste and a hint of ash. -Mole Verde o Pipian. Toasted pumpkin seeds and tomatillo mole sauce with a hint of hoja santa (root beer plant) My husband and I get their enmoladas stuffed with vegetables and get double serving of the black beans (rice has chicken stock so we avoid it to keep the meal vegan/ vegetarian). The plates are always piping hot and soooo yummy. When they have all four moles available they offer a sampler as well. We did this on our last visit and it was fun to revisit the 4 moles we had their side by side and compare them. I really love the ambiance out on the peaceful patio and there's cover form the sun. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out!

My husband and I were really excited to try this restaurant after hearing so many great reviews…read more Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to our expectations. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with fried chicken. The chicken was cooked well, but the Alfredo sauce tasted like it was store-bought rather than homemade. I also added the potato and sausage soup for an extra $1.99, and it reminded me of a less flavorful version of Olive Garden's soup. Considering the prices on the menu, I was surprised that soup or salad wasn't included with the meal. My husband ordered the steak, and it was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. We also really enjoyed the garlic olive oil with bread and the spinach and artichoke dip--both were definite highlights of the meal. One thing that caught us off guard was the drinks. We each ordered a soda, but instead of receiving fountain drinks, we were each given individual bottles. I'm not sure if they don't have a soda fountain or if it's their way of serving soft drinks, but it felt a little unusual, especially given the higher prices. Overall, the food was a mix of hits and misses. While the steak, appetizers, and bread were excellent, the pasta and soup left us disappointed. We may come back for the steak and appetizers, but probably not for the Italian dishes we originally came to try.

I tried both their pizza and their famous mixed grilled meat. Pizza is Neapolitan-like and it is good even if not so authentic. Nice dressings and good floppy crust. They are good on grilling, but don't expect anything crazy good... just good without any bad remarks. Professional service and very nice hosts. Cool spot!
