Came from the children’s hospital and decided to order from this location which was near by. I ordered the margarita pizza and it was delicious the ambience is calm and pleasant which is a residence for students attending USC it is a nice residential area.

So our Church had an Event close to the area and we decided to have “lunch” at the “Central Kitchen” located at the Lorenzo apartments. BIG MISTAKE lol anyway its a supposed student luxury housing area over by USC. And altho the scenic views of the Buildings seem beautiful, the food was NOT Good at all. In fact it was just plain NASTY and inconsumable. I specifically asked the lady cashier to have the cooks make my so called “Trojan Burger” well done, and even gave her a tip for it, and of course not only was it NOT well done, but it also looked disgusting. Like dogfood lol It looked like some fake, processed imitation meat. I ended up tossing the whole thing away after a couple of bites coz it was Yuck-y. My “cheese fries” was lousy as well, similar to what you might find at 711. Now I couldve probably easily forgiven the very LOW and subpar, horrible food, had they at least followed my request by making it well done. But alas they didnt, thereby ruining my lunch. And PS: Dont let their so called appetizing looking pictures on Google fool ya. It is very deceiving. The food does not taste the way it looks. AT ALL.

Absolutely horrendous customer service and physically aggressive behavior.
On August 25, 2025, I was in the Central Kitchen at The Lorenzo, where I live as a new resident, getting a drink from their refill soda machine like I always have. I had my headphones in because I was on my way to class, and suddenly a man approached me in a completely aggressive and threatening manner. He demanded to know what I was doing, and when I explained I was getting a drink that’s supposed to be free for residents, he literally tried to grab the cup out of my hand and force it away from me.
I repeatedly told him to let go, but he refused and accused me of stealing. I even offered to pay for the drink just to get him off me. After I paid, I told him not to grab my cup again and explained that management should make it clear which drinks are free because The Lorenzo advertises “free drinks on the ground floor.” Instead of apologizing, he continued with his physically aggressive, threatening behavior and called me a thief even AFTER I paid for the drink.
I later learned this man is the owner from the Lorenzo. This is beyond disgusting. No resident should ever be physically grabbed, threatened, or accused like this in a place I pay a lot of money to live in. It made me feel unsafe, and honestly, I can’t believe a place like this exists. My parents wanted me to call the police and file a report, but we reported it to the city and state instead.
This experience was the absolute worst and scary customer service I’ve ever had in my life. Avoid this place if you value basic human decency and safety for USC students, there’s plenty of good food right down the street.
Edit: Apparently the owner is a liar too because I was in Canada when I wrote the review and he wants to try to repair their horrible image and say I went there on the day I wrote the review. Great example of the aggression as he still tries to say I stole even AFTER I paid, embarrassing. Thank you to all the support in reporting this business!

Pasta lovers! Try the Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo from here. It’s just the perfect comfort food! Creamy battery sauce, with well-seasoned tender grilled chicken, everything cooked to perfection including the mushrooms. Perfect size for two people to lunch and no more than $15. The ONLY downside of it was… NO BREAD WITH PASTA! But, still Totally worth it! I would do it again.

I placed an order, but it wasn’t ready; the system marked it as “ready.” Because of this, I was kept waiting unnecessarily when I arrived at the store. The staff didn’t give me a clear explanation of the problem and acted indifferently. This constitutes customer deception and is unacceptable. It was a waste of time and a very bad experience. Recommended in America.

This is a tucked away cafe. I found out about when dropping food off to an student at the Lorenzo apartments. Since the scenery was so nice I wanted to see how they living. Hella Nice, I must say. And this cafe offers a variety of dishes that’s freshly cooked. A nice place to even take a day date too.
