San Lorenzo restaurant

You'll find San Lorenzo tucked away on Northfield Road, in that stretch where the city starts getting a bit more neighbourhood-y. It's the kind of place where they take their Italian seriously without being pretentious about it. Walk in and you're met with warm lighting, wooden touches, and the sort of relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to linger over a second glass of wine. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing with fresh pasta and proper risottos, and locals keep coming back because it delivers proper flavour without the theatre.
