" La Lanterna is a delightful gem in Detroit! I always share great meals with friends there. Recently, we went for a pre-concert dinner, and every single dish we ordered was impeccable. The chicken parm was probably the best I’ve had. My friend tried the wood-fired pizza, which had an amazing crust. The ambience was vibrant, and it felt like a lively Italian eatery filled with genuine charm! I would advise making reservations due to its popularity. I can't recommend this place enough!
