I have had the Raffaello at Lorenzo’s multiple times now, and it is consistently phenomenal. The focaccia is perfect, the mortadella is high quality, and the sweet-salty combo with the fig jam and creamy stracciatella-style cheese is unreal. Crispy onions and pepperoncini give it the perfect crunch and bite. One of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had in LA or anywhere else.
The owners are always friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about what they’re doing. It makes the whole experience even better.
This is the kind of place you’re happy to keep coming back to.

Read about this place in the LA Times 100 list. I’m always on the hunt for the world’s best sandwich .
Ordered the caponata and the special crudo sandwiches. Starting with good bread is the foundation of a good sandwich. Lorenzo’s focaccia passes the test ⭐.
I really liked the caponata. The eggplant, zucchini and cheese were a very tasty combo. I liked the prosciutto sandwich too.
I’ll be back again for more delicious sandwiches. Can’t wait to try them all .

Lorenzo is my favorite place for an Italian sandwich in LA. I absolutely love this place. Everyone who works there is so kind, friendly, and genuinely caring. It’s always such a pleasure to go back. On top of that, the food is amazing. Their sandwiches are easily my favorite Italian ones in LA. I’ve been there so many times and it never disappoints.

Wow!!! Just when I thought I couldn’t be surprised by a sandwich, the special Chicken Parm from Lorenzo’s completely blew my mind, in over 40 years of eating Chicken Parms, I think I’ve found the holy grail!!! And sadly it is leaving this coming Sunday the 23rd of Nov, what a tease to have just tried it for the first time today! Well hopefully it contes back asap, in the mean time there is always the Lorenzo which in itself is a work of art, amazing!!! Please if you can get one of these chicken parm’s before they’re gone, do!!! But if not, I’m sure every sandwich here is of the same caliber and I look forward to trying them ALL!!!

The sandwiches are tasty, although you do not get enough meat in my opinion. Very small place barely any seating. Staff is fantastic. Great place to visit every 6 months or so.

Absolutely worth the wait!
My daughter and I have been wanting to try Lorenzo California ever since they opened two years ago — and today we finally did. Let me just say: it was beyond worth it.
We ordered the Chicken Milanese sandwich (a weekend special), and it was absolutely divine. The chicken was perfectly crispy, topped with creamy stracciatella, fresh lettuce and tomato, and perfectly seasoned with a subtle touch of citrus that pulled everything together. The bread was outstanding — flavorful and sturdy enough to hold all the delicious components without falling apart.
We also tried the Rafaello, one of their most popular sandwiches, and it was truly amazing. It struck the perfect balance of sweet and salty, and every bite was thoughtful and indulgent.
Portions are generous — one sandwich can easily be shared, though you’ll probably want one all to yourself. The quality is exceptional, and it’s clear that care goes into every detail.
We’re already excited to go back. Highly recommend!

Lorenzo is hands down the best sandwich shop in LA. The tuna sandwich is the best I have ever had. It is fresh, full of flavor, and always made with care. The pesto fusilli is also amazing, simple, rich, and incredibly satisfying. Everything on the menu feels thoughtfully prepared.
Customer service is excellent. The woman at the front is welcoming, kind, and always makes you feel taken care of.
If you are looking for the best sandwiches in the city, this is the place. I can’t get over it!

I have been on hunt for LA’s best Italian sandwich of late. Mamie on Fairfax has been quite a pleasant revelation. I just recently discovered Lorenzo California , located just off Rodeo Drive.
I went on a Sunday and it was packed.
There is very limited seating, so don’t plan on dining in and consider a take out instead. I was lucky a seat opened up while my 20 minute was going on.
Be warned, parking is also quite a challenge..
I had the Cotto. Truffle flavor is greets you as peep the sandwich wrap. They certainly did not skimp on the prosciutto. It was creamy through and through in each bite.
I’ll have to say though. It was a decent sandwich, the excellent ingredients do come through. The focaccia bread was crispy while fluffy inside.
There was just that lack of a wow factor in the end. I’d say perhaps it was the lack of layers of flavor I was looking forward to. Perhaps it was just the plainness of it? I was certainly expecting a lot more for a $21 sandwich.
I still plan to try the other ones next time.

I came back another day for the Special Cruddo. You can tell they did not skimp on quantity of the ingredients.
I have to say I was not impressed with the taste right from the first bite however.
There was a bit of tartness that came through from the first bites. The cream sauce tasted like grocery mayo. Overall the sandwich leaned towards more salty in flavor and overall it just did not give me the impression that there was a refinement for a $21 sandwich. I seriously can’t even finish my sandwich. It was that bad.

Lorenzo is by far the best Italian sandwich I’ve ever had! The bread is light, the meats are top quality, and the flavor combinations are outstanding. The customer service is excellent, Cynthia is always so friendly and accommodating. It’s my go-to spot every time I’m in the area.

I may have found sandwich Nirvana! I had the Tonno – tuna salad – and the combination of savory flavors on fresh made bread was absolutely mind-blowing!! Hands down the best tuna salad sandwich I’ve ever had – restaurant or homemade – in my life. A friend had the Cotto – prosciutto ,cheeses and truffle oil – and he was over the moon for his sandwich. Normally he’s the “eat some and save some for later but later never comes” type of guy. But when he got home 90 minutes later he devoured the remaining half! And yes the Black Truffle Fettuccine is a must have, even at the surprising price! The shop is stylish, clean and small with a few tables, perfect for a sunny day. The staff was also kind and friendly, with a relaxed, “welcome to this gem of a restaurant” vibe.
This place is totally worth braving LA traffic (drove in from Long Beach), and you won’t be disappointed.
