Carciofi Alla Griglia Restaurants

"My wife and I tried Lorenzo's recently. We like to try new things and they had plenty to tempt us. We settled on the Bruschetta, the Torta di Caprino, the Pear Salad, and the Beef Raffinati. The Torta di Caprino was great. The Bruschetta was hard to eat as the tomato chunks kept falling off the toast. The Pear Salad was worth the trip by itself! Lastly, we fell in love with steak all over again with the Beef Raffinati. I have never said “wow” eating a steak until our night at Lorenzo’s and we have eaten at other high-profile steak houses downtown. The steak is sautéed in a brandy cream sauce and is fork-tender. We also had the zucchini and squash side dish that really complimented the steak. Our visit was made extra special by our waiter Jimmy, who answered all our food questions, as in how the dishes were prepared. Yes, we will be going back!"

"This restaurant is located at AZ Hwys Best of AZ 2010, which is why we tried it on a day trip to Sedona. It started well. The decor and ambience, while a bit dark at the tables is strong on Spanish Italian influences. Pull-off points to go over the service area to our back-room table, instead of through the front dining room. The Antipastis: the grilled artichoke with lemon Pesto aioli was excellent and the Affinato, Radicchio with Croatian fig marmalade mozzarella cheese rolled in Prosciuttio and grilled would have been excellent, except one of the reels was not thoroughly grilled to melt the cheese. The Vitello Justino, thin calfs with mushrooms, Gorgonzola and Orzo riso was excellent. Tender is a beautiful Marsala. Like an article I can't call because while it was a regular menu item, it doesn't appear on the website menu. It consisted of chicken penne with vegetables in a chipolte cream sauce. I had one of the nightly specialties, a mahi mahi mahi with green beans and orzo riso. Mushy fish ruined the court. My dessert was a flourless chocolate cake. I had several restaurants all over the country and they can be quite different. The interior of this was more pudding consistency than cake, although the taste was good. The port paired with it was a great disappointment, very surprising as they have an Award of Excellence, 2007 by Wine Spectator. As a “chocolate harbour”, while a ruby, it had the strong alcohol bite of a Tawny that I did not enjoy. I would recommend combining a Graham's port with chocolate (A Grahams with some chocolate can not beat! either the Grahams Six Grapes or their vintage port. The service was good, but not from the fine detail we expect from a restaurant of this level."
