We visited La Lanterna at the recommendation of our priest, who said it was the best Italian he's had outside of Rome. It didn't disappoint. The pasta was perfect and the service top notch. If you're travelling, this is a MUST STOP for your vacation.

Had a solo Valentine’s Day dinner here and was made to feel right and home and so well taken care of by the chef, manager and wait staff. The tagliatelle bolognese was just how I like it very rustic and homey just like you get at a farm stay in Italy . Chocolate cake was also delicious. Thank you for making my evening so special

We were fortunate to find a this place offering great take-out near our hotel during a COVID shutdown. It’s been in the family for 52 years and they take great pride in what they serve. As exceptional restaurant, reasonable price for quality. Let’s support them so they don’t loose a great place when COVID finally ends!
