Saturday Night Live connection

The New York Times reported in 2025 that "Every Tuesday evening before a new episode of “Saturday Night Live,” Lattanzi is where you’ll find Lorne Michaels, the show’s creator and kingpin, and that week’s celebrity host, along with a rotating cadre of eight or so carefully chosen “S.N.L.” producers, writers and cast members.

Reviews

USA Today wrote "Italian-sized portions will waken your appetite but not overwhelm, perfect date place with softly lit tables just distant enough to have a private conversation." [5]
