La Lanterna is a neighborhood restaurant known for its excellent and delicious food, offering a wide variety of pasta dishes and a fabulous apple strudel with vanilla ice cream. The service is consistently prompt, courteous, and friendly, creating a warm and cozy, yet formally friendly, atmosphere. Customers have praised the outstanding and consistently high-quality food, with highlights including the appetizers and desserts. The Petrale Sole is also superb and a very generous portion. The restaurant provides great value for money with plentiful food portions, often leaving customers with leftovers to take home. Although it can get busy, the service is fabulous and the space is comfortable with little crowd noise. La Lanterna continues to thrive and deliver a pleasant dining experience, making it a great place to celebrate special occasions, like birthdays, with a personal touch, such as dessert with a candle and Happy Birthday written in chocolate.
