We had a great time. Joyce was our waitress, and she is a paragon of customer service. The food was just as good as the pleasant service. We were both pleased with our Broccoli spaghetti and pesto tortellini. Looking forward to coming back again.
Saturday Lunch with the girls. Ate at Laurienzo’s for the first time yesterday. Great table in the window. Nice and sunny. Server was vey nice. Food was excellent! I had tortellini with tomatoes,chopped asparagus, pesto.Plenty of it. I would go back in a heartbeat. Place was nice and clean, well appointed,etc. When they clean the tables, they might want to check the cracks between the tabletop boards. Crumbs have a tendency to settle there and you have to scrape them out on occasion. I was setting at the end of the table so I was able to spot it . Loved the food,service and ambiance! Would highly recommend it! I’ll go there again.
Great food….. My wife and I eat there or have takeout 2-3 times a month.the spinach salad is fantastic, and I hate salad!We have NEVER been disappointed!If you have not tried it yet..TRY IT, and if you have…go back!
Delicious and Cozy. My fiance and I were visiting friends in Mount Airy when they showed us Laurienzo’s. I come from an Italian family and am used Grandma’s cooked-from-scratch everything. We decided on mussels for our appetizer. There were about 24+ mussels in the dish and they were all tender and perfectly cooked. The white wine sauce was delicious and the basil was wonderful. Two in our party decided on the Frutti de Mare, which they loved. Another ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo which was delicious. I ordered one of the specials – a Orechetti pasta with artichokes, sausage, feta, basil and a light wine/cream sauce. I took a chance on the sauce and was very pleasantly surprised. The portions were huge aside from the Frutti de Mare, which was a reasonable portion but not enough to fill the belly on its own. A manager came over and personally offered us fresh baked rosemary bread and it was perfectly toasted. The restaurant is cozy and romantic and just perfect. The place is about 40 minutes from where we live, but I would absolutely go out of my way to make the drive to go there again!
Let customers leave with half full restaurant. My family and I went to Laurienzo’s last night at around 7pm. When we arrived, we noticed that the restaurant was about half full. The outdoor seating area had 3 tables open (all four tops) and numerous open tables inside, including two 6 tops. We were greeted by the hostess and advised that we had four people in our party. The hostess then informed us that it was going to be a 20-25 minute wait. I then questioned all of the open tables. The hostess responded that they are not seating anyone to allow for the servers to catch up from the Dinner service. I advised that it was only 7pm and the Dinner service was not over and she reiterated that it was still going to be 20-25 minutes. I then advised that was a very difficult excuse to accept and that I would have to take my business elsewhere and she stated that I should do what I have to do and let me walk out the door.What??? I have never seen a restaurant allow customers to walk out the door, prior to being seating, with a half full restaurant. If this is how this restaurant does business they will not be successful for very long. Being a former chef, I know a great deal about the ins and outs of running a restaurant. There are many issues that arise during a dinner service. I can accept that. Just being up front with the customer is important. Tell me you are behind and that the food is food/service is slow. Tell me that you just got slammed, your understaffed, your chef just walked out. I’m OK with that, just be honest. Just offer us a seat and take our drink order and let us know things are running slow. Telling me that you are allowing your servers to catch up from dinner service is either complete B.S or a major issue in management. Either way it is unacceptable. My family eats out quite frequently in Mt. Airy and Laurienzo’s has lost a potential long term customer for life. In the end, my family drove a mile down the road, saw the Mt. Airy Inn and decided to give it a try. To our surprise they also have a brick oven. Wow, what a correct decision. The inside of the restaurant was inviting and the service was even more so. While the food was a little simpler than what was described by the menu of Laurienzo’s it was excellently executed. They also have one of the best beer lists I have seen in years!
I will give it a second chance. Service was slow very few people eating. and the staff was on their dinner break . that must be a great job to have The staff is very young and more worred about texting freinds and talking to one’s that walk in and out.9 of them 6 of us? had to get up from table twice to get service IE refill on soda and bread. and the check. the restarurant looks great clean and inviting the bill is a little heavy considering the service the food is fresh and hot. I give it a second chance every body can have a off day.
Pricey and Insulting. $50 for a pizza and salad. Insulting staff.
