If there's one thing Lorna's loyal fans yearn for, it is that the restaurant would expand. As it is, the row of plastic chairs on the sidewalk in front of this strip center eatery frequently is occupied by hopeful diners, who usually find that the wait isn't too bad. And the wait usually is worth it, too, thanks to a menu replete with one-of-a-kind, home-style salads, pastas and chicken entres. Much emphasis is put on vegetables, and we're frankly nuts about the eggplant appetizer. We like the veggie-rich pastas, also, but when we can, we persuade the table to share one of the huge, fluffy-crusted pizzas, which the servers place on stands so that they seem to float above the table. The same dough also is folded around stuffings to produce some of the best calzone in San Diego.
