I received the best service of my life here! Attentive staff that genuinely wanted to assist you and was happy that you were there. They even took our food to the back and boxed it up for us when I’d only asked for a box.

Don’t let the storefront appearance fool you! We randomly found Lorna’s through Google maps. It is far better than expected!!! The kitchen and dining room are not clearly delineated, and you can walk through the kitchen to the second dining area and the restrooms, so you can see the food being made. Portions are large, and quality is great. We had four adult entrees which we shared with each other (two couples) and our four year old, and still took leftovers home. The specials included shrimp primavera and stuffed eggplant. Both were awesome. Prices were very reasonable as well. Oran, our waiter was very helpful, not intrusive, very professional.

Ordered for the first time here and was very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the linguini with clams (turned out to be clam sauce and not clams in the shell, however it was SO GOOD) and eggplant parm. The restaurant was packed with patrons on a Thursday night which was my first sign that I made a great choice. Price is right and portions were great. Will definitely be returning when the Italian crave hits

Excellent restaurant! Food was delicious! Lots of to-go orders and a full restaurant which tells you how good it is! They cycle through quick though so there’s not a wait to eat! We got the meat lasagna and chicken alfredo with added broccoli as well as the garlic knots and sauce. The chicken alfredo could feed 2 people, I was surprised how much chicken was included! It all tastes very homemade, everything is exceptional. We also got the chocolate cannoli cake which was also delicious. Their pistachio ice cream is made in house, full of pistachios and a must. I’d recommend this place, two thumbs way up!

Absolutely obsessed with their Tagliatelle Bolognese! Doesn’t get any better. So glad they’re close by – it’s a neighborhood staple and favorite for me and all my neighbors. Service is top notch and food is so comforting and delicious.

We had not been to Lorna’s in many years since moving to North County. Our decision to return was rewarded with the same outstanding food that we loved so long ago. The atmosphere is simple and casual, but that takes nothing away from the experience.

Lorna’s is a solid Italian restaurant. They give you humongous portions and the food is tasty if you like a good marinara based dish. The chicken parmigiana is enough for two people to have a meal given the amount of pasta they give on the side. Same for the calzones. I ordered a custom calzone and really liked the combo of ingredients they allowed you to choose from. No comment on the service, because I’ve only had takeout here, however, the place is always packed so they must be doing something right!

Morena is a staple for our family. The food is world class, the setback is great: attentive and thorough with out rushing. The prices are amazing for the quality of the food; that is sine of the best Italian in San Diego.
