    This was the best of our Restaurant Week choices in the years we have taken advantage of RW. We were seated in an area that allowed easy conversation. The staff was very gracious and chef Jonathan Spence stopped by and chatted. We have been to Modena a number of times previously, but each dish this evening was a winner. We especially loved the pork coppa with truffle risotto, and hope this makes it on to the regular menu. We would go back soon for that dish alone. We were thoughtfully reminded at the time the check was presented, that a 20% service charge was already included, and a tip was not necessary. We felt that the wonderful service we received, warranted an additional tip. Thank you Modena staff for a wonderful evening. It felt like an early Valentine's Day.

    We had a fantastic night at San Lorenzo - food was amazing, service attentive but not obtrusive with helpful recommendations, and the restaurant itself lively and warm but not loud. Highly recommend!

    Always enjoy the food. A party of 6 was seated next to us that was pretty loud. Couldn’t really hear the conversation at my own table

    Truly incredible!!! I’ve been many times and last night brought 5 non-vegan friends to try it and they were all blown away. Our server, Bean, was so sweet and made great recommendations. 10/10 will be back again and again! By the way, get the pizza - half Gabriel, half Toum Raider. And the kale Caesar with blackened chicken is to die for. Also, the miso mushroom bucatini is very good. You really can’t go wrong here. Oh and it’s BYOB! Which is so fun! Go! Seriously
