5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

Family owned and run for 30 years, an intimate Italian restaurant in "uptown" Port Townsend. Always excellent food and wine and always busy. This evening "Buzz" was quietly playing the piano, a mix of easy listening contemporary selections which rounded out the atmosphere. Never a worry about quality or quantity here. Although we don't live near by, we make the... More

We dine here every time we are visiting Pt Townsend and we always come away very happy! We shared a tasty appetizer of sundried tomatoes, pesto and goat cheese (I believe that was the cheese) followed by delicious pasta (Penne Bella for me and Spaghetti which they generously allowed my husband to have with 1/2 meatballs and 1/2 sausage). The... More

We were 90 minutes early for our reservation (5:30 instead of 7:00), but the staff was ready to seat us and welcomed us warmly. They had a children's menu--great for the 5-year old with us. Our portions were large enough for take out and tasted even better the second day! We were looking for a cozy, semi-romantic post-wedding dinner location,... More

Being a local, I can tell you Lanza's is the best Italian food in PT. The food is amazing, staff is friendly and cheerful, and the atmosphere has that relaxed PT vibe. Be sure to make a reservation if you are planning on going Friday or Saturday.

I had a wonderful meal at Lanza's. The bread was delicious and they make on site. Cameron was my server and he was great.

We had wonderful food at Lanza's. Neat, small restaurant. The staff were very kind. Portions are HUGE. The restaurant got busy; I would recommend reservations to ensure you got a table. There was live music as well.

We get to Pt Townsend once a year and Lanza's is a must. I love the cheese and veggie lasagna and my husband goes for the perfectly cooked lamb. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff mekes you feel like they've known you forever. The experience is wonderful.

Very nice ambience , excellent service , great food. This is Mom's house Italian . I had the house spaghetti with a meatball and... More

An absolute hit!!! My wife grew up going here as a young adult and told me about when I first moved here in 2009- I am remiss in not having reviewed Lanza's up until now! Our first time as a couple was back in 2011 and it was superb just as my wife had told me it would be. Fast... More

I guess I didn't order the right thing but the Canneloni I had was solid cheese. too gooey. should have had the putanesca. The service was good. This is a nice family restaurant but not a place for interesting meals. Good for the basics of which I will choose differently the next time I order if I go there again.
