    Great apps. Best brick oven pizza in northern Delaware, deserving of comparisons to Pizzeria Vetri.

    Friendly and happy service provided. We did find ourselves waiting to order apps and entrees! Also, waited for our check once complete. They were busy, but need to pay more attention! Food was great, the place was loud, we did enjoy our experience. Thanks.

    The staff was friendly. Our server was excellent - very knowledgeable about the menu and personable. Everything we ordered - from the crab bisque to the crab dip to the shrimp and crab pasta, the pizza, the grouper special and our cocktails - was delicious.

    Lore has a new menu that is a must try! We had the tuna appetizer which was the best I've ever had. For dinner we had the meatloaf and the chicken picatta. Both were so delicious and perfectly prepared. We can't wait to go back and try more of the new menu items.

    Lots of extra charges on changes off the menu. Like extra for arugula or tomatoe sauce on pizza. 1 oz of amaretto 9.00

    The new menu items are great! We had the Crab Dip and it was filled with quality lump crabmeat just like the Crab Cakes.

    The atmosphere is nice, and the staff was gracious. The parking is plentiful and near the restaurant. It took us over 40 minutes to get our food for a group of three, and the gap between the first and third dish was over 25 minutes.

    We had a late lunch that included the calamari appetizer, a burger and a brick oven pizza with prosciutto. Everything was perfectly prepared and very tasty. The burgers and pizza are among the best in the Middletown area. There were some new craft cocktails on the menu that were very well prepared and delicious. We look forward to our next visit to Lore for the Valentines special weekend menu.
