Sandwiches In The Style of Florence Amaze With Fresh Ingredients and Crisp Bread
Lorenzo California is an Italian sandwich shop that is very authentic and specializes in sandwiches in the style of Florence, the capital of Tuscany. The shop had little fanfare when it opened about four months ago. However, the word is spreading about this special sandwich restaurant that also serves pasta fresche, or made-to-order pasta, salads, and desserts. Lorenzo California is located at 9529 S Santa Monica Blvd.
Their website states, “Lorenzo California is committed to serving you the best Italian cuisine possible.

When they say that the sandwiches’ meats are sliced thin, they aren’t joking. The Italian meats are sliced paper thin, and the meats are so soft. The bread is crisp yet airy, and the sandwich itself tastes incredibly fresh. The crunch of the crust gives way to a butter-soft interior. The restaurant does have daily specials, Wednesday’s special was either a tripe sandwich, don’t be scared, it sold out, or a Caprese sandwich.
The shop is small but does have seating inside and out. It also has canned and bottled drinks and a brand of kettle-cooked chips. Such quality is not cheap, but the sandwiches are worth it. The Cotto comes with Levanti ham prosciutto, truffle cream, fresh brie cheese, lemon zest, and fresh pepper. The service is friendly and quick. There are nine different sandwiches to order on a daily basis in addition to the specials. You can satisfy your premium sandwich cravings with Lorenzo California.
