Sometimes all you need is a little help to see what has been in front of you all along. Lorenzo's is so very close to where I live, but I was just introduced to it this weekend. Thank You!! :)
My friend suggested we order some fantastic take-out to enjoy while watching the playoff games. A quick call and we were zooming down Pinnacle Peak towards some of the tastiest Italian food I have had in a while.
Two words... Garlic Knots. Beautiful little twists of dough that have been marinated in an aromatic blend of chopped garlic and olive oil... heated and served with a tangy marinara sauce. After getting them home they never even made it onto our plates - we attacked them right in the container! It is too bad that my mom raised me to have good manners, since I grudgingly gave my guest the last one. Seriously, the order could have been twice as big and we could have polished it off without a problem.
Next... Antipasto salad. A generous serving of all kinds of good things including fresh mozzarella, salami, provolone... delish!
The Main Event... a killer ham & cheese calzone. This thing could have doubled as the football on the TV. Huge! Beautiful! Stuffed full of ham, mozzarella and ricotta. Topped with the marinara sauce it was truly a sight to behold. Yesssssss!
My car still smells like garlic. I really like that!
