Although Lorenzo's is located near the Fox Valley Mall, this eatery is not part of a mega-chain. The restaurant is family-owned and operated and specializes in Italian fare, steaks and chops. Look for choices like pennine al brivido, pasta tossed with crushed red pepper, olive oil, a touch of tomato sauce and topped with sweet Italian sausage. The pork chops are another best bet, and lamb chops make regular appearances on the daily specials. Seafood options include grilled shrimp and scallops with Moroccan couscous and gorgonzola cheese. The theme is a contemporary Italian villa with a terra cotta and stucco exterior, and lots of windows, fresh flowers and warm hues in the dining room. The Mediterranean-style open kitchen includes a meat showcase and a wood-burning brick oven.
