The lasagna, alfredo, and any pizza here is good every time. One of the best lasagnas I’ve ever had. The flavor profiles for most of the pastas is similar- usually including a mix of meats & veggies, except for the alfredo. And the pizza is absolutely huge. Box took up the entire top shelf of my fridge.

I stopped here recently for a lg. Fat Special. Very tasty and nicely done crust. Super fresh and generous toppings. I especially like the family-owned establishment vs. the national chains...a gr8 value for the buck. Highly recommend if you're in the neighborhood. And bring your appetite, friends!

We planned on only getting gelato here but as we walked in, we were seated and decided to get lunch. Our server was very kind and efficient and checked on us regularly. I ordered the lasagna and the spinach feta stromboli as an appetizer, both very delicious. We all shared everything and everything was so delicious. My mother ordered shrimp Alfredo, my dad a slice of cheese pizza, my sister the manicotti. The sauce was so delicious and the noodles were cooked perfectly

This was our first time at Fat Lorenzo’s and it did not disappoint! We both had a little of everything; we each got a slice of pepperoni and a pasta. I had Paolo’s Pasta Alfredo with shrimp, my partner had the Garlic Fettuccine Alfredo. Both the pizza and the pastas were AMAZING! We also topped it off with gelato, (which they make in house every morning), we had a strawberry and a chocolate chip. Delicious! 100/10 we will be back the next time we are in Minneapolis.
