Dear Lorenzo: I just became aware of your illness and passing and am so shocked and saddened (tears). In the long past you ordered cheesecakes from me for your iconic North Beach restaurant. That is when we met and an instant fun friendship began. Soon thereafter you would always address me as the “cheesecake lady.” Then, when I let you know that I would be moving on from that particular company, you exclaimed with arm and hand gestures, “no more cheesecakes then.” That was so loyal of...

I saddens me and my family to say goodbye to Lorenzo.He was always so gracious and generous to us. My fondest memory is of when I saw him shortly before my Father passed . He asked me how Dr Bill was .I told him that just before arriving for dinner at NBR I visited my Dad .I said to Lorenzo that my Dad was sorry he could not join us and eat some fresh petrale sole.The next night I was sitting in the hospital room and 2 waiters arrived. They served Dad his sole.I will miss Lorenzo.

Our heartfelt sympathy to the Petroni Family. We will miss him very much.
Riposa In Pace.

Peter and Drinda, my deepest sympathy on the passing of your wonderful father. He built a little Tuscany on top of Cavedale for us all to experience and enjoy so he left a legacy of his beloved heritage and for that we are all so grateful and will never forget him. Of course, we will be reminded of his contribution to North Beach as well when we go into SF. Bill was just at the restaurant a week ago. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers and hope that all the good memories you have...

My prayer is for you. My husband, Renato Ghiozzi, thought the world of you and your wonderful restaurant. If he were here, I know he, too, would have you in his prayers and heart. Rest in Peace, Lorenzo. Mrs. Renato (Nikki) Ghiozzi

You will be truly missed my friend, thank you for all the great times...

Dawn. Crissy Field. Here he comes! Bundled up. Goofy hat. "Bella! Come!" Pockets full of treats. And all the dogs come running. They know. He stops. He chats. We pass. Arms wave. "Good morning! Good morning!" Oh, Lorenzo. Old fellow walker. Old friend. It's not the same. Goodbye.
