What our guests are saying about their experience with us

Google-Review I'm from NY and grew up with my Italian great grandmother making family dinners - Lorna's really tasted so nostalgic and comforting! The ambiance is very casual and cozy, and the service is very attentive. The portions are very big so be careful not to over-order!

Google-Review This place is a hidden gem in San Diego. I grew up in San Diego, and I've never been here before, when I went the first time I told myself I have to come back, the food is delicious. The service is great. It's very authentic. The servings are the perfect size, I will be going back for sure. It's good for families, kids, even just a date . I will be coming back.

Google-Review Absolutely incredible dinner in a casual atmosphere! We drove from our beach house rental on Mission Beach…more than worth the drive. Under $80 for a family of 4. Thanks for a great meal!
