Lovely meal, excellent service. However we ordered a half portion of gluten free pasta as a starter and a gluten free pizza. There was a surcharge of £3.50 per dish! whilst we were advised that there would be a small surcharge, we didn't expect it to be more than 30% of the cost of each dish! Eating out at other Italian restaurants we've never been charged more than £1 extra and quite often there is no extra charge. This is excessive since you can buy a 500g pkt gf pasta for less than £1.50. Even the pizza base at £3.50 more than the standard one is ott. The bill spoilt our experience and even though part of the extra charge was refunded after we queried it I don't think we'll go again unless they bring their pricing in line with other just as good establishments.

Food was excellent, staff friendly and efficient. However the noise level was so much we were yelling at each other to be heard. I appreciate there were a lot of people there from the Gosforth races but the previous time there it was just the same, possibly because of it being a small narrow restaurant.

I took my family for afternoon lunch and it did not fail to deliver. Three of us ordered from the early bird lunch menu and my six year old from kids menu. He got to make his own pizza and wear a chefs hat provided by the staff. Needless to say it was the best pizza ever (according to him and the manager) We had starter and pasta main which was delicious. Total bill including soft drinks for everyone was £44. Great value in my books. We've been a few times to San Lorenzos and will continue to visit. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and good service... went on a Monday evening so the management maybe underestimated the number of staff required, as we were a little slow to be served to start with, but I would definitely recommend.

Service was quick and friendly. The food was nice, although there are other Italians on the High Street that I would say are slightly better. The portion sizes for the starters were generous.
