" An exceptional dining experience! Every dish we ordered was amazing, especially the ravioli filled with cheese. If you appreciate fine Italian cooking, La Lanterna is the place to go! Our dinners came out quickly, and the servers were attentive and kind. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I celebrated a birthday at La Lanterna, and it couldn't have been better. Service was exceptional, with our server going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The veal was recommended by her and it was the star of the night—tender and flavorful! The ambiance was historic and charming. I would highly recommend this gem to anyone in the area. We're already planning our next meal here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Savor the flavors! The homemade lasagna was divine! I believe I could make a meal of just that. Service was excellent as we were checked on regularly. The ambiance is warm and welcoming. This place definitely earns a repeat visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely dining experience here last week. Our server was prompt and knowledgeable, and I really enjoyed the pesto pasta. The only downside was it took a bit longer than expected for our main course to arrive, but nonetheless a great meal overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family loves La Lanterna and consistently comes back for the gnocchi! It’s hands down the best we’ve had. The lively atmosphere really makes each meal feel special, and the whole menu has something for everyone. Great service too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've dined here several times and am never disappointed! The pasta dishes are a highlight, and the attention to detail in preparation shows how much they care about their food. The service is warm, making this one of my favorite Italian spots! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! The homemade ravioli was to die for—the stuffing was rich and perfectly seasoned. The portion size was generous, and the bread they served with olive oil was addictive! I enjoyed my time here, but I wish the service had been a bit quicker; waiting for the check was a bit long. Overall, a fantastic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
