January 12, 2020This perfect little restaurant is tucked away in the corner of strip mall. It is hard to find a restaurant that cooks authentic Italian food without it being too greasy,... read more salty or overly spiced up. All their dishes reminds me of the food we get in Italy whenever we go visit our family. Would definitely recommend! Service is always with a smile too. We had the gnocchi in vodka sauce which were just like my mom made them. Also ordered the chicken piccata which was made to perfection..

November 3, 2019Two of us visited this cafe for the first time. It is small and intimate, seats about 25 inside (with brick patio open in warm weather). Server Lucy was very... read more welcoming and efficient. Chianti by the glass was available. soup and salad starters were fine (salad dressing was unusual, a banana/poppy blend). I enjoyed my spaghetti with seafood (shrimp, mussels, clams) with marinara sauce — pasta was properly cooked al dents, sauce was savory, seafood was tasty. My wife had the tortellacci stuffed pasta in cream sauce — not overly rich, blended well with cheese stuffing. For dessert we split a tiramisu, very nice. And we selected some Italian cookies from the glass case to take home — the chocolate covered biscotti were excellent. Definitely will be coming back.

February 9, 2020Love,love,love it when a restaurant beats my expectations! I must also add, that when a restaurant is rated as highly as Lauretta’s, those expectations are rarely beat. Service was friendly... read more and paced nicely. Well prepared, perfectly seasoned foods with that “homemade “ taste. The bakery items are the finest I’ve had in the area. My wife and I were blown away. Don’t let the strip mall location and the sliver of a store front fool you into passing this gem by. Enjoy.
