La Lanterna Restaurant Wine & Beer Garden

The food was great as always, and the atmosphere is really nice. This place has always been five stars for me. However, because of an issue my party and I recently experienced, I have to give it one star and this is specifically due to the manager who was there that night. My party and I were celebrating a birthday, enjoying our food, and having a wonderful time together. I had been calling for an entire week trying to make a reservation. No one answered despite my repeated calls until I finally got through and spoke with TJ, who was extremely kind, accommodating, and went above and beyond to secure our reservation. I was very appreciative of his help. I completely understand that restaurants get busy and operate on time constraints. However, the way the situation was handled that evening was unacceptable. According to the allotted time stated on the reservation, we were already being rushed out by 7PM. I had informed the server that I wanted to order dessert and sing happy birthday to the birthday girl. Instead of taking our dessert order, he brought the check and never acknowledged our request for dessert. If they felt that we were not going to finish the dessert on time they could have offered us to take it home and not completely disregard our request for dessert and just bring the check. But what truly upset us was the manager’s approach. Not only was our request for dessert disregarded, the manager came to the table in a rude and abrupt manner and essentially told us we needed to leave because another party was arriving at 7:30 even though it was only 7:15 at this point and we were already being rushed beginning at 7pm. Everyone at the table was shocked and embarrassed by his tone and the way he addressed us publicly and loudly and that is my reason for this review. I had to step away and speak with him privately to explain that his approach was inappropriate. I told him that if there was an issue, he could have respectfully pulled me aside instead of addressing us in that manner. I also expressed that I felt an apology was warranted due to how loud, dismissive, and unprofessional his behavior was. To his credit, he did apologize and provided a dessert on the house to each of us, which I appreciate and they did end up singing happy birthday. However, the tone, attitude, and way the situation was handled left a very negative impression. It completely took away from what was supposed to be a special birthday celebration. I hope management addresses this, because while the food and atmosphere were great, customer service especially from management makes all the difference.

Had a fantastic dinner at La Lanterna. We started with the meatballs appetizer and they were absolutely ginormous, in the best way, and packed with flavor. For mains, I had the spicy lobster pasta and my wife ordered the spaghetti carbonara, and honestly, both dishes were out of this world. Everything was cooked perfectly, rich without being heavy, and full of authentic flavor. A great meal from start to finish and definitely a place we’ll be coming back to.

La Lanterna is my go-to spot. The food never disappoints—my favorite is the spicy vodka lobster, but every dish I’ve tried has been incredible. Everything from the bar to the kitchen is consistently on point. Marcella and the bartenders make perfect drinks every time, and the kitchen always delivers. It’s family-owned, and you feel that warmth the second you walk in. La Lanterna makes you feel like family—and that’s why I keep coming back.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant! Everything was delicious! Service was outstanding! Very attentive servers. They work together like a fine oiled machine. 💕

I had an amazing experience here from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. You can tell they really care about quality and presentation. The staff was super friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect the whole time. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making it a great spot. Definitely one of the best places I’ve been to in a while—highly recommend and I’ll for sure be coming back!

Small inside dining area, so make reservations. They also have a beautiful outside dining area, and a small bar area. The food her is great, and portion are large. Great place to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or just your love for food. If you have not yet, this is a must go.

THERE WAS A HAIR IN MY PASTA So let me start off by saying I went back and fourth with even wanting to write this review because I feel as though writing a review (especially a negative one) takes too much energy. My husband and I came here last Wednesday (first timers but live locally) and were excited to try it. The bartender didn't really acknowledge us much-but we just assumed she was busy so we didn't think much of it because in the moment when we arrived, it was busy. We ordered food and there was a hair in my pasta, usually I can get over something like that, but I think because I already had an upset stomach from an exam I took that evening and I was waiting for my professor to post my grade, I just couldn't get over the hair. I told the bartender and even apologized while letting her know, because I felt bad even having to tell her I found a hair in my pasta. She then apologized and took it back, and I was able to order a different pasta with her. 45 minutes later and the pasta never came out& bartender never came back after taking my order, never acknowledged us or gave us an update on the pasta (and by this time the bar had cleared out and the restaurant was no longer busy as opposed to when we first came in, so really there wasn't even an excuse anymore for her unattentiveness especially to customers who found a hair in their pasta) So after 45 minutes with still no pasta or update on why we have no pasta, we kindly asked to close out. And the bartender just simply said "okay no problem" no regard to the fact that our food never came out, no apology, no acknowledgement whatsoever it was so bizarre. Like we found a hair in my pasta, and you would think they would prioritize bringing out my meal, or at least-bare minimum-give me an update on why it's taking so long and apologize. Even my husband, who never complains and is the sweetest man ever even spoke to the manager (he would never do such a thing) which is how you know this treatment was unacceptable-but I digress, the manager did apologize & said he was unaware about the whole situation and offered to give us something to go (which we did not accept, but I suppose was nice of him to offer) the bartender made the whole experience such a disappointment which was unfortunate because we live so close and we were really excited to try it. Her behavior towards us was just so strange and bizarre and emotionless. Just so odd because we were kind the whole time. We even tipped her generously (which she did not deserve but instead of bringing ourselves down to her level, we decided to be generous) because why not just choose kindness? Also unrelated but I went to Yard house in ridge hill a few days later with just my kids & no hubby-I couldn't believe it. The service was top notch and I was just in shock that I got better service & treatment at a Yard house then I did at a cute little Italian restaurant 😂😅 mind blowing. Also another side note, in case my review seems like I'm nitpicking about service-my husband and I are pleasures and not complicated or rude. it may seem as though I am being harsh on service but in no way did I reflect this in person. We were so kind to our bartender and to the manager even when we expressed our distaste for the service. Trust me it took a lot for me to even write this review because I do not have the energy for negativity but this service was just a little mind blowing to me that I almost felt obligated to share it with others 😫

This was a great place to eat! The food was amazing...our server "Peppito" was awesome! Our food came out in great timing. Loved the outside atmosphere! If you plan to eat there please make sure to make a reservation, but the outside defeating does not require a reservation, but there may be a wait.

Came here Friday with some friends who were raving about the food . I have to say the food was so absolutely delicious & elevated. The presentation of the dishes did not disappoint. The aromas just slapped you in the face as the dishes came out . I had the chopped cherry stone clams & the Lamonica spaghetti & I was so impressed with the level of cooking. Mind you we eat out quite a lot so that was no easy feat . The food was so good that we were tasting each other's dishes because we just had to lol . Our server was Javier who was also excellent and very accommodating. The ambience was beautiful like the day . This place is definitely a new found gem for us and close to home so we'll definitely be going back in fact I'm talking to my wife about going back today lol . The only minor negatives is that the bathrooms are very small and one of my drinks I found to be to seltzery compared to my wife who ordered the same drink . It was immediately taken care of by our waiter and I don't normally like to rate anything five stars because there's always room for improvement but I have to give this place five stars for the food service and ambience . .

I love this place!!!!! It's been on my list for a long time so finally was able to go. The place is truly off the beaten path of the Saw Mill Pathway! It's lovely and such a nice ambiance. Since it's basically winter, the outside was closed but it looked like it would be vibey during the warmer months. The food was soooo good. I don't eat seafood but everyone recommends the clams. I got the 10 dollar pasta deal which was delicious! I ordered the meatball on the side and it was huge, juicy, and flavorful. The portions were humongous. Only con - they took a while to seat is even though we had a resy!

This place has been all over my Tik Tok, especially their outdoor seating area, so you know I HAD to try it out and I dragged my sister with me. From what I could see the outdoor area is really nice - we decided it was too hot to sit out but I definitely would like to go back as the weather cools down. We ordered meatballs, chopped salad and a pizza with mushrooms and onions. I wanted pasta too but didn't order it so it will give me a reason to come back lol. Everything was really good - the meatballs while huge, were very tender, the salad was absolutely delicious as was the pizza. I actually don't have any complaints about this restaurant and look forward to going back for some pasta.

I really like this place for its outdoor space. The chicken parm was super tasty and the portion is huge - great for sharing. The shrimp ravioli was just ok. Service was good.

Plenty of spots to take photos, with neon signs and flower decor. We came here for the beer garden, but could not secure a table outside with our reservation, as there seemed to be a lot of rules about reservations. The waitress was really nice and patient, as it was really loud making it hard to hear and we were a large party. The garlic pull apart bread was my favorite! Doughy and gooey but with a little crunch and LOTS of garlic. The stuffed Sicilian was also good. Overall the portions were large. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. Desserts were okay. Fun for birthdays, as they have a big fake cake with a sparkler. If you bring a cake, I believe there is a cake cutting fee.

Loved this restaurant, went to go celebrate a friend's birthday. Food was delicious and they had big portions. The staff was very attentive and drinks were delicious. Would definitely go again

didn't think the best pepperoni slice would be so far from the city but I was wrong! Slices are crispy and the crust is super fluffy, light & flavorful. I love how they come in small cut up squares rather than the traditional triangle slice. Highly highly recommend if you're in the area & looking to grab some pizza

Stopped in to skip the afternoon commute. Excellent service, nicel location, huge portions marred slightly by heavy-handed breading and sauce. Still, the place is very charming as evidenced by the exuberant crowd.

We had the..... PULL APART- SUPER CHEESEY GARLIC BREAD Crispy fluffy house-made focaccia bread perfect for the table!! roasted garlic confit Sicilian herb melted mozzarella cheese buttery garlic glaze LUMACHE LALA VODKA (Rigatonis 1st Cousin ) vodka sauce with house made lumache, topped with hints of fresh straciatella-(creamy mozzarella) We added a side chicken cutlet to ours And last, the MY MOM'S FUSILLI Freshly made cork screw shaped pasta, meaty bolognese topped with whipped ricotta. The garlic bread was sooooooo good. My vodka was soooooo good and my friend said the meaty fusilli was good and she would get it again. Love the food here. Plentiful servers around to help also.

The food is wonderful. Brought my wife and kids. Enjoy the appetizers and the main course. Service was great and ambiance makes you feel like you are at someone's home. Definitely recommend! Two thumbs way way up!

Haven't been here in a while . Decided to go out to dinner with another couple and hopefully get to sit outside since it was a nice night out. Loved it , the decorations, the colors the ambiance was all so pretty . The food was delicious, and the young lady that served us had a great personality. I loved the night, the only thing I would do is try to put something out for mosquitoes.

Wow! What a gem to find. This is exactly what we'd hoped to find to celebrate a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon. The al fresco dining ambience is unmatched and I would say a can't miss experience if you're ever in the area. The food was very tasty ranging from unforgettable to solid mid. The lobster ravioli is what caught my eye when looking up the place but the meatball appetizer is what has me still drooling as I write this review! The service was friendly and helpful, though the bussing could have been a little quicker since we struggled to fit all the dishes on the table. Definitely plan to come back with an even bigger appetite to sample more!

Went for Hudson valley restaurant week. Everything was absolutely delicious. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. The herb butter with bread has to be requested and I recommend doing so. We would definitely return. Can't wait for the warmer weather and drinks in their outdoor space.

Pretty restaurant tucked away on a side street off of the Saw Mill. Parking is a bit challenging as their lot is small, but managed to find some street parking. Bar area is crowded and restaurant itself isn't huge, but has nice area for larger tables. Drinks were pretty good. Food was really delicious and had large portions. The pasta to meat ratio was a little off though (more pasta please!). Service was on the slower side, but not terrible. A little pricey, but I'd say the food was worth it. Would love to see their outdoor patio area when it's nicer out!

Absolutely amazing Its been a long time I have rated a restaurant five stars, but they deserve it. Fresh pasta made in house, absolutely delicious! I am coming back for seconds, next week! We also had the calamari. Absolutely fresh and delicious.

This was my first time at this restaurant. My sister asked if I wanted Italian and this is where we ended up! Great choice! We were told it would be a 45 minute wait, but it was only 15 minutes. There was an outside garden where you could sit and have drinks while waiting. There was great music for everyone to hear throughout. We all ordered salads with different toppings. My salad was topped with Salmon. It was delicious. I also ordered the cheesy garlic bread for us to share. That is a must have!! The atmosphere was great, the food was great, the music was great. Just because we were being greedy, we ordered the tiramisu for two. That honestly could have been shared by four, so some of it went to waste. When in the area, I will definitely return. Good times!

Miraculously great food--creative and sparkling fresh--with gracious service to match. And a gorgeous garden to sit in during summer, and to look out at during fall and winter. Order anything: everything's a knockout.

The food is delicious. I love the pizza, it's the perfect combination of sweet and savory! The drinks are a miss but the food completely makes up for it.

Big portions served at this well known Italian American restaurant which has been in the community for years. They have a lovely outdoor patio, where you can dine al fresco . Lots of Instagram photo ops in the outdoor area. Although I requested outdoors, I rethought that decision considering the current heat wave we've been having. I updated my Resy for indoor dining. It was a little warm inside but nothing unbearable. It would have been more comfortable had it been cooler, but it was an oppressively hot day. Our waiter was friendly as was the host who greeted us when we walked inside . We were given a nice table and proceeded to review the menu before ordering. We opted for the pitcher of white sangria with peaches. For the three of us, this was a better deal than ordering by the glass, which was $10 but the pitcher was $36 or $37. I don't remember exactly but we each winded up with three glasses of sangria so definitely get the Pitcher. Bread is available on request and since we were ordering meals, that would go well with bread we asked for it . it was sort of warm with a softened butter on the side. very nice. The chicken Parm bites were delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly. The vodka sauce was yummy and the portion was big. It was a generous size for the three of us. Our next appetizer was char grilled oysters with I believe a cream sauce, spinach, and some tiny bits of lobster on top. They were OK. I opted for the pork schnitzel which was served with a warm German style potato salad, and cucumber salad with dill and sour cream . The cutlet was massive, and I could only eat a small portion after consuming some of the appetizers. It reheated well the next day. The spicy vodka lobster over their handmade pasta is spicy . There was one very small lobster tail, and a few small shrimp as indicated in the description of the menu. The menu described small shrimp, but did not say how many ounces the lobster tail was? Maybe 2-3 oz? It was small but tasty. Lastly Mom ordered the soft shell crabs over pasta francese style. She loved the sauce. She said it was very good, but the softshell crabs were chewy. My parents owned a fish market for many years so mom knows her seafood very well. I would like to return when the weather is a little cooler and enjoy the outside dining area.

We had been going to La Lanterna for years and then life just got busy. We live sort of far. Anyway, for my bday I wanted a La Lanterna dinner. Our service was friendly and accommodating. Our food was very good. As always. For me, I typically get chicken parm, but changed it up and tried the pinwheel lasagna. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't order it again. The top was definitely not have a crispy top layer or pecorino romano cheese on top like the pics. But, that being said. Everyone at my table had gotten their food and mine was about 10 minutes later. So I think they rushed mine out after I brought it to their attention. We ate inside, because it was too hot out, but I'd love to get back on the patio another night. Definitely make reservations for inside. We had a 6:30 res and had to wait a little for the table before us to leave . Patio is also first come first served. We will be back. The stuffed sicilian was my fave.

We enjoyed a few apps at the outdoor space at La Laterna and it was very nice. Lots of umbrellas and big enough space that each table gets a bit of privacy. Will return.

Everything I ordered was delicious ,pizza , chicken parm portions were generous service was impeccable my new favorite place

Wasn't feeling great on a rainy day and decided I wanted to get some comfort food from this place. The reviews are amazing and their pastas looked incredible so decided to go out of my way to get some food to go. First off, super impressed with the customer service. I called ahead to place the order and waited 15 mins to go in and somehow when I arrived they didn't have the order (things happen) they were so apologetic and got the order to me very quickly and even brought it outside to me which was above and beyond service. I will always remember that as someone who wasn't feeling good! The food: definitely worth the drive. Got the Lamache Lala Vodka and wow, it was super fresh and delicious. The NY Style pizza was really good too. Next time I would sit inside to get the full experience but for takeout had a great experience.

well worth the wait, esp if you're looking to sit outside. the ricotta white pie was by far one of the best things ive eaten. ive been here twice and cant wait to go back!

This place is always suggested in local food groups so I decided to finally try it and all I can say is, IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The pasta was so fresh and the portions are huge.

TLDR: Recommend going! Huge portions, great outdoor space. Must try Sicilian pizza. Outdoor area is very nice. We did not have a reservation on a warm, busy day and were told the wait was an hour. Joined the waitlist, got a drink at the bar, and sat outside by the fireplace. Table was ready within 40 minutes. We ordered a lot of food, not realizing how large the portions are. Calamari (3.5/5) was good but not a huge fan of the sauce it came with. Meatballs (4/5) were large and very tender. Comes with focaccia bread and ricotta. OG Sicilian pizza (5/5) was the best thing we ate. We added pepperoni to half of the pie- highly recommend. Chicken francese (3.5/5) was as expected, but would have liked it to be a bit more lemony. Spicy vodka lobster pasta (3/5)- we found this to be very spicy. The dish itself is good, but was not a huge fan of the lobster. Service was a bit disappointing. It was a busy day, but it felt as though our server was not very attentive as compared to other tables. Nothing major, but it did stand out during our visit.

Don't be fooled by this restaurant's back alley exterior, because once you park in their dedicated parking lot you'll enter thru the side gate and are welcomed with a beautiful outdoor seating area full of flowers and foliage and lighting. You enter and it's a small bar, with a few seating options and nice staff. Once seated, you'll be brought into their bigger space which is also playfully lit and decorated. While their menu seems small, their portions are huge!!! Definitely meant to be shared and eaten family style but if you have a big appetite, this will satisfy it for sure. Even with a bunch of cheesy filled bready appetizers, my family of 10 came hungry and left VERY full and happy. I highly recommend the calamari, the cheesy pull apart bread and my entree, the Spicy Lobster Pasta.

Amazing food, great service, beautiful ambience! Wait time for our meal was a bit long, however, it was worth the wait!

My family and I spent some of our Sunday afternoon at the a newly discovered restaurant- La Lanterna- I fell in love with their outdoor dining space. Tables surrounded by beautiful trees and decorated with flowers every where. It was definitely a place I will go back to. But that is not all, besides the beautiful space surrounded by nature, we felt very comfortable and enjoyed the friendly vibe from the staff as well as a delicious meal. We started with a refreshing white sangria and tried their NY style pizza- it did not disappoint, my mom tried spaghetti a carbonara with their freshly made pasta, I kept it light with their chopped salad which was also very good. Everything was . I can't wait to go back and try other interesting things I saw on their menu and also their indoor spaces!

Visited this spot after seeing it on social media. Everyone raved about the pizza and pasta so we gave it a try. To be honest, my expectations fell short. The pizza was okay, not great. It was just too much bread In my opinion when compared to the cheese, sauce, and pepperoni ratio. We also tried the spaghetti carbonara and it was below average. It did not have much taste and it was not enjoyable. Maybe we got the wrong pasta and pizza but the food was not on par with other Italian restaurants. I will say the calamari and Brussels sprouts were the best items we've had at this spot. The staff here were amazing so they made up for the food.

One of my favorite places to eat in the area. Everything is so delicious !! The stuffed Sicilian was to die for - I added pepperoni and holy cow !! I could eat an entire pizza to myself (it's definitely enough for 3 people it's just that good!) Their baked clams are also so yummy ! The vodka lobster pasta is my favorite entree but I would eat everything off the menu. We didn't have to wait long for any of our food despite it being busy. The ambiance is beautiful during a warm night. The outside garden is gorgeous and there is an outdoor fireplace. Parking can be annoying because they only have a small lot and there isn't much street parking but that isn't enough to deter me from coming here. I recommend this place to all my friends and we all love it!

Would highly recommend! Food was excellent - we loved all the pizzas & pastas we ordered. Large portions with plenty to take home for leftovers.

The food and service is amazing!!! The ambience and decore is breathtakingly beautiful!! Loved it! Definitely get the hot honey pepperoni pizza.

La Lanterna is an amazing place! I'm glad I finally came here for dinner. I've passed this restaurant many times but it was my first time here. I'll definitely be back again soon. Everything we ordered was incredible. I tried the white sangria, the garlic bread, my friend ordered the rigatoni, and I ordered the pappardelle. I love fresh pasta and I'm glad we stopped here. I would order everything we had again, but I'd love to try more of their other options, too. Their pizza, other appetizers, schnitzel, etc. all looked delicious as they passed by our table. The outdoor space is very nice. There were a lot of people seated outside, but with the trees and spacious seating area, our table still seemed very private. I can't wait to head back here soon.

This place never fails, from their yummy calamari with their unique sauce to their cheesy garlic bread, and drinks you can never go wrong. The inside was totally renovated with beautiful decor that sparked up the room with their amazing wine selection and menu. The lemon butter shrimp with the garlic pasta and toast was absolutely delicious. Cocktails recommended as it was national margarita day was the Peach flavored. Went really well with my main dish. For desert I had to taste their famous tiramisu, portion is definitely great to share with a group of 4 guests. Along with a cappuccino to seal the night.Best place in Yonkers for original Italian cuisine with a modern delicious taste. Can't wait to return and try other dishes on the menu! Thank you La Lanterna for the great service!

We always enjoy our meals, whether we bring the kids or not. Ambience is great and food.

The food is decent, portions are enormous, atmosphere is cute and service is friendly. We've had La Lanterna on our list to try for quite some time, and finally had the opportunity to try it when we were in the area recently. We went with 2 other families and had an 8p reservation. We didn't sit until close to 8:30, which was challenging with 6 kids in tow. The restaurant was packed on a Sunday night. We ordered immediately and bread came out quickly. All staff we came in contact with were lovely. 4 of the 6 adults opted for the Restaurant Week menu, which included "1/2 portion" app, full entree and full dessert. It was an incredible deal. Burrata and prosciutto app was flavorful, tender and filling. The stuffed sicilian bread was delicious. The chicken parm was enjoyable, the risotto was a little too creamy, the individual pizza was massive, and the kids loved it. The chicken francese might have been the winner. Great lemon-y flavor, tender chicken and it was enough to feed an army. Chocolate cake and cheesecake for dessert were also very good. I'm happy we were finally able to get there, but with the overabundance of good Italian restaurants in Westchester county it won't become a staple.

Very attentive service. Excellent food and beautiful decor. Great place for family celebrations. Can be a bit noisy though.

The food and service was very good!!! I would definitely recommend the restaurant to friends and family.

When we pulled up, it was beautiful (very sexy) fire place burning with the outside seating, looked so romantic. (I'm playing third wheel tonight) lol. The host said there wasn't any seating, we should've made reservations. (He was wrong) there was seating in the bar area. The Starmaid was pleasant beautiful and could sure as heck pour a good drink. Service here is GREAT, Food is even better. Had the spicy Vodka Lobster.. (a must!) only complaint is the tail was tiny for a heavy weight like me. Tried the grill chicken with the BIGGEST pasta noodles I've ever had. DELICIOUS. Did I mention the drinks? This is why I didn't take any pictures (I Hate when I do that) I enjoy the atmosphere, the staff and the people so much I didn't have the thought of pictures. I was truly living and enjoying the moment. If in Yonkers you should treat yourself. Cute quite sexy and grown.

Omg this place and the food is amazing! So I did a walk-in and it was a 3 hour wait, but they offered a seat at the bar. I am so glad they did because the bar area was AMAZING!! The people had good vibes and the bartender Marcella was super considerate, suggestive in the orders and a true professional. For a first timer like myself, her service was superb and I am so glad I came. I will definitely cone again. 5 star!!

Always an amazing meal. It's my family go to place. Loved it before it became Insta famous. because we always were able to roll in and get a table. Now reservations are a must. However my boy for top restaurant in Westchester.

Was excited to try this place. Their food was really good and big portions. They really did alot with the decor which made the experience really nice. The flowers all over which is key for a date spot. Service was good also.

Back again to celebrate my mother's birthday. Thursday evening was full, expected of course. Had a great time. The red sangria to my surprise wasn't good. They allowed me and my guest to switch, the white tasted much better. The food was delicious and service was good.

The food is Excellent as well as the service. The restaurant has a great vibe it is very inviting. The drinks were great if you have not been this is a place you must try.

Ok let start by saying I took my friend there for her bday I had seen the place on instagram and was intrigued by the location look good etc unfortunately it was raining so we couldn't enjoy the outside patio but we walked through and loved it . We took a chance and went without reservation the host was ver pleasant and said there was a wait of about 30 kins which was fine with us I asked like any place can we go to the bar and order drinks as we wait he kindly said yes . We go to the bar which is mainly occupied by men I found a spot where I can Lena over to get drinks we stand there waiting for the bartender/ waitress to get her attention and let her finish what she was doing we stood there for about 5 mins and she didn't acknowledge us then the bday girl gets her attention she goes I be right with you another 5 mins goes and still nothing she gets her again and she says one min ok she attending everyone except us now another 5 mins my friend goes excuse you you forgot about her and the bartender says yes I did im so sorry ...what???? Who does that? We the o ou females standing at the bar waiting to be served unacceptable and Because we wanted to try the food we didn't leave and I still tipped the rude female like is that a way to treat people??? Why? My friend said it's race but I didn't want to play that card because what would the bartender be like that.. we got our drinks and waited outside to be text. Got inside and the waiter Javier was amazing. He gave us suggesting for our first time. His recommendation were amazing. He was very pleasant and polite. He also sang happy birthday to my friend who at end enjoyed her time there. Bottom line everyone should take Javier and the hosts attitude there was no reason to be ignored or treated a certain way. That was the only bad experience we had everything else was great. I rated it what I did Because can't let one miserable rude person mess up the experience.

Everything was great Such a cute spot for a date night or GNO Would definitely go back

I love this place! It was the perfect day to stop in for lunch, so I did. We got there a little before opening, but it was no problem at all. We were greeted with Smiles and immediately seated. We ordered the truffle pizza and the arugula salad with grilled chicken. The pizza was so amazing, really great cheese and mushrooms on top. Also a great chew to the crust.Excellent! My salad was perfectly dressed in a white balsamic with lots of grated cheese on top. Loved it!. But the chicken... The chicken was so moist and tender and amazing. I've never had chicken that good on top of a salad. Perfectly cooked and executed. The waiters were excellent and the staff was friendly and nice, also,Very attentive. This restaurant runs like a well oiled machine and the food is absolutely delicious. We will be back!

This was my first time back to La Lanterna in a while, especially for Pasta Night; luckily, it was just as good as when I was here last. This time around, I ordered the Linguine Pesto with Shrimp and some shredded parmesan on top-the flavor was great, and the portion size for the price was good too. I also ordered the Sicilian Sour which, while still good, was a bit sweet for my tastes. Our dessert was Tiramisu for Two (though portion-wise, you could call it a "tiramisu for five") and a couple of Mexican Coffees, both of which tasted great; I only wish there were a couple of warm dessert options to be had (especially for "Pasta Night" season-October to March). All in all, great food (as usual), good service, and a good experience all around.
