The large welcoming space with high ceilings draws you in. The interior is inviting and charming, matched only by the warm hospitality and carefully crafted dishes. The space blends old-school with modern in a comfortable "neighborhood" vibe. A family-run business, La Lanterna has large menu that has more offerings than other restaurants of this size and caliber. The squid ink pasta is excellent..
The head chef Ramon was drawn to the simplicity combined with bold flavors of Italian cooking and never looked back. After twenty years of working at other fine establishments his dream to open La Lanterna was realized in 2001. Since then he has continued to develop and refine many of the dishes offered. A family-run business, you'll frequently find all six members of the family helping to make your visit a memorable one.
