About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for business meals
  • Good for special occasions
Created by the founders of El Tiempo Cantina, Houston’s First Family of Tex Mex, Laurenzo’s Restaurant features the other side of their family’s Italian, Mexican and American Culinary Heritage. The menu, one of the largest in the city, is packed with recipes dating back generations, and includes fresh Gulf Seafood, Prime Rib, and home-made pasta. If you’re in the mood for good ‘old home-style cooking’ made from scratch daily with the freshest of ingredients, then Laurenzo’s is your place. The family has been cooking with love in Houston for over three generations, just the way their matriarch Mama Ninfa Laurenzo taught them.

    Everything was excellent! Service was expedient, hot bread servers immediately upon being seated. The French Martini was light and refreshing but yet just right amount of bubbly. The crab fingers appetizer was delicious, nice and meaty! You will not be disappointed. The crab cake was also on point, light crust with all meat inside. My husband and O both got red fish, his lemon butter creamy sauce melt in your mouth! Lumps and lumps of crab meat and shrimp on top, and same with my ponchartrain sauce. My son loved the dark roux in the seafood and okra gumbo!

    Brought family for Easter lunch and had a great experience. The Prime Rib was the star, but all the food was great. But the service was even better, with the Service Manager checking on us. Looking forward to my next visit.

    I always feel at home when I eat dinner at Laurenzo's. My drive in the city was one hour in traffic but it was worth it. We celebrated my girlie birthday 🎂 and it was full of laughter and happiness.

    What a wonderful place to find. Full of sports memorabilia and old school restaurants vibes. Staff was attentive and polite, and prime rib was first class. Really enjoyed our first visit and we will be back.
