Lauria's Italian Bar & Bistro
Lauria's Italian Restaurant in Orange Beach is the perfect casual restaurant with great food.
I went for lunch with friends and it was so good I called my husband on the way home and told him we need to go back asap to try the breakfast menu.
The Burrata appetizer platter is worth a visit alone! I would drive from Gulf Shores to Orange Beach just to enjoy this cheesy goodness.
