" We had heard rave reviews about La Lanterna and were excited to try it out. The food was delicious and packed with authentic flavors, but we found that the portion sizes were a bit on the smaller side for our taste. The ambiance was warm, and the staff was wonderful. We would consider visiting again for the food and service! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an excellent meal last weekend with friends. The environment was warm and inviting, and the food was delicious. I especially loved the gnocchi!
