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.

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.

Not bad place is nice ambiance lovely. customer service with a smile.. very welcoming place. Will go back to sit on the patio once the weather is a Lil cooler bc the humidity is just too much for now.. I had spicy lobster with ribbon pasta not too bad needed more flavor. The mister had the hot honey pepperoni pizza which was smack!!! the pizza dough is so damn good. Highly recommend 100%

This restaurant was a complete delight. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was amazing. The location may look a little deceiving, but as soon as you walk into the restaurant, you completely forget about everything else and you are transcended into an amazing atmosphere that’s welcoming. Kind of make you feel like you’re somewhere overseas and they also have an amazing outdoor seating area for spring and summer.

We stopped by this restaurant on a Saturday around 5 PM without a reservation and were seated by 5:30, which wasn’t bad at all considering the weekend rush. The service was definitely on the slower side, esp for drinks. As for the food—The pizza was excellent, especially the gluten-free pie, which was surprisingly flavorful and well done. On the other hand, the burrata and whatever it was paired with lacked seasoning and was pretty bland. The meatballs and Caesar salad were just okay—nothing memorable

It’s always a pleasure dining at La La. They have recently redecorated the dining area to match their outdoor theme, and the result is stunning, beautifully done and full of tasteful touches. The ambience truly elevates the whole experience into fine dining, perfectly complemented by their delicious food. La Lanterns is always packed, so we made our reservation a few days in advance- and it was absolutely worth the wait. Every dish hit the mark! From the Chilean Seabass to the stuffed Sicilian, everything was cooked to perfection. Let’s not forget the whipped butter that comes with the table bread I could not stop eating it, even while reminding myself to save room for appetizers and entrées (reminds me of Texas Roadhouse whipped butter but lighter). The bartender was efficient and kept the drinks flowing while we waited for our table, and both the waitress and food server were friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The portions are generous, and the pricing is very fair. We also had a chance to try their restaurant week menu, which was exciting. The appetizer was a half portion, followed by a full-size entrée and choice of three desserts. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and are already planning our next 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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Maybe we came on an off night? It was a busy night, but our table of 2 was definitely serviced less than the larger tables around us. Our dinner turned into 2 hours of mostly waiting for our food. Yikes. Our meatballs came out barely warm which makes me think they must have been waiting to get to our table a while. Stuffed pizza was good. Disappointed, wish things went better! Cute decor,though!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

This is a little gem in Yonkers that I have been going to for years. I have celebrated birthdays, father and mother's day many of times here prior. Always my preferred place. I decided this is where I wanted to spend my pre-father's day celebration with my family. I called two weeks ago and made reservations for 5pm for six for today Saturday, June 14th 2025. Despite my confirming my reservation online, I was contacted by the hostess to confirm again. At that time, I was told I had 1 hour and 45 minutes from arrival to eat and depart. I was flabbergasted at what I was told. I responded to the hostess, not her fault, I found her comments insulting and told her so. I have spent, on average of $500 and $700 each time I have eaten there. There are other ways to "HINT" to the patron you need to HURRY UP eat your food and dessert. Pay your large bill and get the F**K out so we can turn the table over. I have frequented more exclusive places like "Capital Grill" on the east side of Manhattan, Chart House, etc... and never was told I have a time limit. My family felt rushed throughout the meal and nervous. As long as I am spending my hard-earned money, I should not have a time limit. I am cognizant of my time and realize the restaurant industry is still trying to recover from COVID. Also, they are now passing the credit card processing fee to the customer, if not paying cash. It wasn't like that before. Lastly, after my sister paid the bill north of $600, plus tip, for treating me to father's day, we were still finishing up our desserts and coffee when the owner whispered in my ear "there were other patrons waiting on the table". That ruined the entire night. My family felt the same. In short, I will certainly consider other restaurants like GIANNAS or ANGELINA Italian Restaurant as a preferred place when planning an event. I would still go to La Laterna if I need a last minute place and just my wife and I. Food was good as was the service. When calling be sure to inquire about time limits. Hope this helps...

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.

I've gone to La Lanterna a few times, and each time, it never misses. The food is fantastic; the pasta is fresh. I've had the Pin Wheel Lasagna and Spaghetti Carbonara. On Wednesdays during the winter and spring, you may relish in $10 pasta. The service is excellent, and they have made it look so nice. They have a beer garden, which is lovely in the summer. A great place to visit!

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.

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.

I managed to get in without a reservation, turns out the restaurant was like half empty and they kept trying to make us thankful that they just barely managed to squeeze us in. We ordered the fried calamari appetizer, a soup, and accidentally ordered the fried calamari dish (sorry forgot what its called, its a bunch of fried seafood, but mostly calamari). We had asked the server what it was, and she told us to just look it up online. We accidentally ordered it cuz we had been hyper fixated on the dish, and she didnt bother to tell us that it was basically the same as the calamari in front of us; that we had just mentioned to her was too much to finish, and that we specifically came here to try their pasta. So service was pretty meh at best. The food though was bomb, even though we really only ate fried calamari and some clam chowder (to which we had to ask for bread seperately).

Food is solid here. Love the outside dining. It will not be the cheapest meal you eat but won't be the most expensive either. The fusilli bolognese special was very good. We also had shrimp in olive oil and they were super fresh. The fudge cake was the the only rub for me - it was cake, it was a slice of chocolate fudge filled to the center which made it a lil tough to get through. As long as you like very rich, chocolate desserts, you'll be fine. The avocado appy was super original and tasty. I'll have the sauce on the side next time - it was really good however.

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.

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!

I have been to this restaurant three times already with my partner. What we love: the food is delicious, tasty and very fresh. I love their bolognese sauce with gluten free pene and ricotta cheese. My partner's loves their lobsters ravioli. Their salads are fantastic (my favorite is the chopped salad). Unfortunately, I have no photos of the plates. Its very busy so if you want to seat right away make reservations. The outdoor area is beautiful, but they dont take reservations for the outdoor. (Outdoor area is gorgeous)

I did my friends bridal shower at this location. I was so impressed, i went back several times for dinner with friends and family. The food is top tier, the service is amazing, the scenery is beautiful I definitely highly recommend this location for events or just to meet up with friends. I can't rave about this spot enough.

I came on a Saturday for a 6:15 pm reservation. Hostess was friendly and sat me and my guest right away. Water for the table was served very quickly but that's where the quick serviced ended unfortunately. The restaurant itself is cozy on the inside and beautiful seating on the outside. Our appetizer of the spicy garlic shrimp was good. Very enjoyable. For my meal I got the ceasar salad with salmon. The salmon was overcooked and dry. My guest got the lobster ravioli and that was actually pretty good. I am not sure if the air conditioning was broken but it was faint which made the restaurant very warm. The service was slow and unattentive. Waiter never checked on us unless we asked. Felt as if we had to beg for service. However, despite all that went wrong I had a good time with my guest. So that made up for what went wrong.

Food is delicious and of high quality; atmosphere is superb. They have comfy outside seating. Live music on occasion. Also indoor has seating availability for large parties. Highly recommend. Right off Saw mill. Plenty of parking and near hiking/biking trails
