Hire them! If you want to feel taken care of, Lorna’s is the place for you! Not only was our food amazing, but Ethan is so wonderful to work with! He was amazing from day one, worked well with finding what was right for us and even helping us find other non food related things we needed! My wife loved his commitment to us. Our guest would not stop raving about the food! The lasagna was my personal favorite!
Aside from Ethan and his food, Lorna’s sent amazing staff to help with our event! The guys were great! We honestly loved their vibe so much we asked them to stay and enjoy the rest of our wedding! Thank you Ethan!!! We will be seeing you again as Lorna’s is and will continue to be our italian food place to go
I hired Lorna's Italian for our holiday party. This is the first time we've ever had our event catered by an outdoor vendor and I was nervous to say the least. Ethan and his team exceeded my expectations. The food was fantastic, it was reasonably priced and their service was amazing. I will be recommending them to all my friends and colleagues.
