Really delicious Italian food in a cute bistro. The spinach salad was absolutely perfect! The service was fast and attentive.

Food was good (4/5). Unfortunately service was slow because it was very under staffed (1 waiter for entire restaurant) like many restaurants post COVID. Staff was very friendly. Atmosphere was nice, bathrooms were clean.

Wow, it was our first time here and we were impressed. The tortellini and gnocchi were both amazing with rich sauces and perfect mushrooms. We will be back!

The service is impeccable. The food tastes great to me. Very authentic Italian as I was told by friends. But I wouldn't know. The desert selection is pretty great. We work next door and pretty much eat here a few days a week. Still not tired of it.

We recently got take out from La Lanterna. They said it would be ready at 6. I showed up at 6... and stood at the door until 6:34. No offering of a chair/water, how long it would take, or why... I just stood there like a door man, not sure what to do. They also forgot croutons in the salads. Paying top dollar, we expected more

Highly recommended. I have dined there dozens of times. It is always a great experience.
High grades for both food (try the cannelloni) and the very friendly service.
The cannelloni and Caesar salad are so good, I have a hard time ordering anything else!

I ordered Tortolloni, it tasted so sweet which I didn’t like at all. I felt eating honey!!!
The food taste is well below average, it is not pricey though as google map shows.
The customer service was great, very polite and kind employees. There was a guy, his name was Ali, made me feel home,. If I go back there it is just for customer service, my three stars are for service too not for products.

This is our favorite local Italian restaurant mainly because of the caprese and because the waiters are super friendly. They have a big cocktail selection. The Ganster martini was good but was a bit too sweet after sipping it for a while. The Italian sunset was better but it had so much ice it was gone in a couple sips. I got the seafood linguini was which pretty standard. My wife got the risotto which was really unique. I wish they didn't take so long to break the check at the end of the meal. It's also kind of expensive.
