Came here to try the lasagna flights and they were awesome! We ordered one flight with meat and one without so we could try eight different types of lasagna in one meal! All were delicious, some simply outstanding.We went on a Tuesday night in July and it was very quiet. We made reservations in advance but most tables were empty. We were sat in the enclosed back patio which is so charming and romantic but we were four adults and our cafe table was only big enough for maybe three of us. The two men at our table were laughing about how their legs were entwined so we all fit. It was also VERY dim in our little elevated corner of the patio area, again, romantic to a point, but when everyone has to lift the candle on the table like we are in the Renaissance to read the menu at all, maybe a little more light is warranted?The menu is extensive so you are sure to find something to suit every taste although my daughter was surprised there weren’t any other pasta dishes save for the lasagna.Our server John was warm and attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I loved the history of the place and could feel the warmth of the woman who established La Lanterna in everything the restaurant offered.We had two kinds of cheesecake and the Nutella “pizza” in addition to dinner and it was so good - especially dipped in coffee!We were just tourists passing through, but thank you La Lanterna for making our last night in New York a happy - and delicious - experience.

The lasagna flight was great but I think I’d get a single or try something else next time- they have an extensive menu! Lots of vegetarian options but didn’t really see any vegan options. We also got a salad which was good. Sat in the back indoor garden which was cute and fun!

A lovely restaurant, we had a great time for a dinner for two. We ordered two lasagna flights so we could try them all! (Well, 2/3). Food quality was excellent. Lasagna was a tiny bit heavy on the cheese (yes, even for lasagna) but my favorite was the cacio e Pepe. Id highly recommend this place for a small, cozy dinner. Service was good but not great as our waitress forgot a drink order and was unavailable for a while mid meal.

This cozy, authentic pizzeria in Manhattan was a delightful find! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind after exploring the city. The pizza was absolutely delicious—perfectly crisp crust, fresh ingredients, and full of flavor. Plus, the prices were surprisingly affordable for Manhattan, making it a great value. A must-visit for anyone craving a genuine New York pizza experience!

Ive been here many times since 1985, 8 years after La Lanterna di Vittorio opened up. Initially it was a cafe, with delicious coffees and desserts. In later years, it became an Italian restaurant and now, their specialties include various pizzas and lasagnas.My husband and I came here last night for dinner, with a reservation prior to a performance at the Blue Note Jazz Club, less than 2 blocks away, We opted for dinner here, for more selections + better food and it was a good choice.Our waitress Gaby, was very friendly and went over their specialities of lasagnas and pizzas, We decided to share the arugula salad which was delicately dressed with lemon juice and shaved parmigiana reggiano cheese and the gorgonzola and walnut personal pizza - 12 of pure yum, enough for the two of us. We topped off our dinner by sharing the bread pudding. La Lanterna has an amazing menu of home made desserts.Love coming here anytime - for dessert, for lunch, for dinner. A staple in the village. Highly recommend!

Came in for lunch on a weekday, where there was plenty of seating. The ambience in the outdoor seating area was nice. We both got the meat lasagna flight, and I thought it was very delicious. Every dish tasted distinctly different, and it made for a very enjoyable experience.

Great pizza and ambiance. it really hit the spot although it is a little small and a little more expensive than other spots, its still good and worth stopping by. Staff was friendly and helpful. Give them a try!

This is a small, cozy restaurant in Greenwich Village that offers delicious Italian food. It offers an interesting, relatively quiet atmosphere and a delicious array of simple, affordable Italian food options, mostly pizza and lasagna. Our waiter was friendly and charming, and kept the conversation going, always coming to check up on our group throughout the meal. It was an overall good value for money, especially the garden area at the back, which was relatively busy but also offered the exclusiveness and privacy that we wanted. Would definitely come back and visit again.

Went here for the lasagna flight, was pleasantly surprised by the service, decor, and extensive food and drink menu. My partner and I got martinis that were poured in front of us at the table, a candlelight was at the table for ambiance. I was given a paper to rate the different lasagnas, and this is all happening after midnight on a Friday night, love it!

So good Ive been back three times in two months. The lasagna flights are delicious, service is great, and Ive never had anything less than a great dinner, especially considering the price. Id love to see them step up their wines by the glass, but I cant wait to go back.

Definitely recommend if you like lasagna. The lasagna flight is such a fun and tasty concept! The atmosphere and food here reminds me of the restaurants in Italy.There are three options for the flight: meat, vegetarian, and combo. We had the meat flight and a single serving of the bolognese lasagna. Really liked that each lasagna in the flight tastes unique and distinct from one another. The complimentary bread is also very flavorful, and pairs well with the cheese plate.

Loved the lasagne. In menu there is an option which you can experience difference lasagnes in smaller portion. Definitely loved it. There is a garden inside which is cozy. There are lots of seats outside as well.

This place is on point. Absolutely delicious. We’ve had pizza from all over the world and this was top 5 for sure. Awesome atmosphere, and, Devon, the waiter was top notch.

La Lanterna is a tiny little restaurant that they PACK people into, but you better believe it is worth it. We went on the recommendation of an actual Italian who said this place is one of the few to nail the real flavors of Italy, showing up without a reservation, and even though they were packed the owner or manager sat us right away by a cozy fireplace.We started with a pizza with prosciutto that was absurdly good. The crust was perfect and the sauce had a fantastic pure tomato flavor. The Italian who recommended us was spot on. We then had Lasagna - mine the arrabbiata, which was legitimately spicy, and my wife the pesto, which was delicious.Our waitress was excellent and attentive and the owner or manager came over to check on us as well. Perhaps most impressive is that we got a pizza and two entrees and it was only $70.

First time here, while visiting our daughter, who recommended it as amazing Italian.Just got the Salsiccia lasagna, and it was delicious. It’s incredibly filling and very heavy, so come with a big appetite.

Highly recommended!Hearty, homemade food and excellent service. Unlike many other restaurants, servers are not overbearing but just notice what you need and bring it when you need it. Owner / manager very involved and the service reflects his attentiveness.Atmosphere was typical of NYC, closely packed and many conversations around, yet we never felt rushed or closed in.

It was our anniversary, and our first time in an upscale restaurant, and the service here was by far the best service we’ve gotten ANYWHERE!! Adina, our waitress, has only been here a week to this point, and she was PHENOMENAL!! Kind, genuine, and all around friendly, it was absolutely the energy we needed to make this night magical. Thank you guys and the whole team at La Laterna was awesome! Definitely will come again!

Went here for Valentine’s Day and it was amazing! This place is the perfect combination of great food, atmosphere, AND service. Specifically went to sit in the covered outdoor area and it was beautiful. Would go back again and again.

I went to La Lanterna Di Vittorio with my brother and sister; we all agreed it was amazing! Everything we ate was delicious and the service was impeccable. My sister had the vegetarian lasagna variety which was flavourful and creamy. My pizza had a perfect crust with a delicious amount of cheese. My brother had a calzone which was perfectly cooked, with a crispy exterior and a deliciously moist interior. We also really enjoyed the restaurants charm; we were greeted by an Italian Nonna at the entrance - What more could you ask for?!

We had delicious dinner in the garden. We reserved the spot same day. Our waitress Sophia was amazing! We were impressed with the decor. The tables were a little too small for the food we ordered. Also it was a little bit hot there. Overall my husband bday dinner was a hit!

My wife and I had an incredible experience at La Lanterna di Vittorio. The food was phenomenal, and we were both thoroughly impressed. She had the Margherita pizza, which was perfectly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a delightful, thin crust. I enjoyed the lasagna with Italian sausage and broccoli rabe, which was simply outstanding – a perfect combination of flavors.For dessert, my wife chose the strawberry cheesecake, and I had the Italian cheesecake. Both desserts were the perfect sweet end to our meal. Our server, Jae, was amazing – her recommendations were spot on, and her attentiveness and warm service made the evening extra special.La Lanterna di Vittorio is a must-visit for anyone looking for authentic Italian food and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. We can’t wait to come back!

This place is SO adorable! A hidden gem imo. The garden in the back is so cute and the menu is quite extensive! Got the lasagna flight and a lychee martini which was t too sweet which is what i prefer. The lasagna flight was really good and a good portion! Also reasonably priced for the area!

Superlative choice for a cozy, romantic date night. I went here with my girlfriend, and they sat us in the lower level where there was dim lighting. Jae our server was friendly, considerate, and provided top-notch service. The flight of lasagna is a MUST! There is no secret that this is their specialty. The tiramisu is phenomenal and I highly recommend it. Overall, terrific quaint restaurant in NYC. I will come back here for more deliciousness and well round service

My fiancé and I visited La Lanterna di Vittorio last week for the first time. We made a reservation and dined in one of the igloos outside. It was very private and romantic.We split the cacio e pepe lasagna and lasagna bolognese. We ordered the tiramisu, but our waiter forgot and delivered us the check instead. The service was not the best, but Im not sure if it was because the restaurant was busy, or if you get worse service sitting outside.Overall, I would visit again. Great lasagna and lovely ambiance.

Ive never heard of a flight of lasagna until I stopped in here. Its four mini lasagnas of different types. I went with a vegetarian ones but theyre also meat options.This was an accidental find while wondering the Village. I went in because they had both the pride and the trans flag outside, and I left extremely happy after enjoying a flight of a veggie lasagna.

This place is awesome! The food was so good I recommend the goat cheese bruchette and the lasagna flight. Also the service was the best our server was super attentive and nice. I highly recommend some of the best Italian food Ive ever had!

The pizza was pretty good but we loved Pete’s Banjo and the roasted eggplant lasagna.The garden area is lovely but it can get a bit congested when at full capacity.

Review 31 (2024-09-30 - Rating: 5)
Had a wonderful dinner w/ friends here. Food is pretty good - I would skip ordering the pizza. Tiramisu is to die for! Service was really poor but maybe it was just our host.

Review 32 (2023-04-19 - Rating: 4)
I was craving for some good old lasagna and this place did good! I got their lasagna flight - perfect portion size for someone who doesn’t enjoy a lot of cheese at once. There was mushroom, arrabbiata, pesto and 3 cheese. The arrabbiata was was very flavorful with the right amount of spiciness and pesto was my favorite! They have vegetarian options too. For dessert, I got their tiramisu - it was a bit too bitter for my tastes with the espresso. The vibe was okay, felt it was too loud so it’s definitely not a date place during the evenings. I definitely wanna give this place a try during the day and try their martinis next time. The server was really kind and attentive. Their interiors and decor with all the creepers and lanterns was really pretty. All in all this place gave a very cozy Italian restaurant vibe which I love! This place is definitely must try for their lasagnas!!

Review 33 (2023-10-06 - Rating: 5)
If you live for lasagna, this place is definitely must try. Their other food is excellent too. Large selection of pizza and desserts, very friendly staff and atmosphere inside is comfy and inviting. Hidden gem

Came by after work and the ambiance was amazing. Very cozy brick wall spot with art on walls and real fireplaces. In the back they have a glass roof seating area with blue lateen lighting. We got pizza, tiramisu and tea. I wasn’t a fan of Japanese tea however the pizza with chili oil and tiramisu were perfect. Highly recommend this spot and will definitely be back

Review 35 (2023-12-01 - Rating: 4)
Went there to celebrate my husband’s birthday as he is passionate about lasagna. We had their 8 flight lasagna tasting. To me, the vegetarian versions beat the meat & seafood ones but was the opposite for him. We started with bruschetta and ended with the ricotta cake and tiramisu. We topped our evening with a Riesling.Our waiter seemed new but was knowledgeable and provided professional service. Their quaint vibe is also appealing.I was amazed at how affordable and reasonable their prices were, especially with wine service. Highly recommend!!!!! Go before it gets too fancy and they double their prices.The only con is the bathroom was so small and lacked ventilation. You can always smell was all the others accomplished in there before your arrival.

We had been wanting to try this spot for a while, and ultimately ending up coming here on a Sunday for lunch. We shared the brunch pizza- thin crust topped with prosciutto and eggs- which was well portioned and tasty. Nat wasn’t a big fan of the wine she got, but the ambiance was perfect- you definitely want to be seated out back in the garden.

Review 37 (2023-10-14 - Rating: 5)
Came back after 7 years. Flights of lasagna were delicious and fun to experience. Service was very personal and helpful. The back enclosed garden is a great space.

Review 38 (2023-01-15 - Rating: 5)
Amazing pizza and pasta here! I had the vegetarian lasagna flight and each dish was absolutely delicious- but the quattro formaggio was by far my favorite. The service was very prompt and kind. We sat outside and they provided a heater, and when that died it was quickly replaced. We finished with a chocolate mud cake which was fantastic as well. Great Italian spot, will definitely be returning!

The dining room may be quite dark, but the food shines bright at La Lanterna Di Vittorio. My best friend and I were looking for a late night dinner and found ourselves at their door and we’re glad we did.First of all, the ambience is lovely. We sat in the back semi-covered dining room, which felt big on account of the high ceiling, yet still intimate with its low lighting. I quite prefer the back dining room versus the front.My best friend and I ordered two items that we could share between the two of us. The lasagna flight and specialty pizza were wise choices. The lasagna flight is a perfect split decision meal as it offers four of their lasagnas: Bolognese, Salsiccia e Rapini, Pancetta, Cavolfiore e Piselli, and Peperone Rosso, Gambero e Carciofi. They were all well cooked, beautifully, seasoned, and each unique. We ordered the Pizza con Salsiccia (sausage) and we chose the lamb sausage. (I really love that they offer you the choice of sausage of which there are 3: lamb, sweet sausage, and hot sausage. The pizza was beautifully cooked with perfect proportions of each of the ingredients. It was a delicious combination of harmonious flavors.Lastly, the service was tremendous. We were seated very quickly, our server came in smiling and warm, and remained attentive throughout the evening. We had an overall very pleasant dinner experience, and I would highly recommend the spot to anyone looking for delicious pizza or lasagna, and a casual, intimate evening.

We had an unique experience here. We were sitted right away. They had multiple floors with different experience, it was hard to choose which floor we should be in. Listen to jazz or sit in the green house ambient with low lights. Desert tasted great, definitely a place to come back to. Wish the waitress was a bit more friendly, otherwise great.

I can’t fathom how good the lasagna bolognese is, I literally wanted to explode. At some restaurants you eat but at this one you EAT especially the lasagna. In terms of venue it’s very quiet and definitely a good girls night out! Staff is always kind too!

My favorite restaurant to visit in NYC. Their lasagna flight is AMAZING. I always get the vegetarian one because I love the options: spicy, cheese, pesto, and mushroom. All SO YUMMY! Definitely enough for 2 to share.We love sitting in the garden area out back that is enclosed in glass. Its such a beautiful place to have a nice Italian dinner.

Had a wonderful dinner here tonight with close friends. Enjoyed a Pete’s Banjo (a drink associated with the famous musician Pete Segar), it combines hot cider with bourbon. For dinner no starters…my wife and I shared a Napolitano pizza—delicious—and then the lasagna flights, the meat version; basically four different lasagnas in separate little soufflés dishes, one was traditional bolognese sauce, another seafood, already forgotten the names of the other two. It doesn’t matter all were good.

Review 46 (2023-02-05 - Rating: 5)
This is my favorite restaurant in nyc! I’ve been a handful of times, I always get the vegetarian lasagna flight and every time it’s incredible. The aribatta lasagna and the mushroom lasagna are my favorites. Their martinis are awesome too, I recommend the key lime martini or the limoncello martini. Sit out back in the garden room if you can! It’s a very romantic spot but is also great for groups of friends.

The indoor garden was beautiful , the pork lasagna was divine, the chardonnay excellent. As was the mesclun salad with cheese. The tiramisu was out of this world. Italian cheesecake was OK. The tables could be a little bigger & we could have done with some serving spoons.

Review 50 (2024-11-19 - Rating: 5)
The dim-lit ambience was exactly what I pictured it would be! When I made reservations I was hoping to get seated in the main enterance area because of the decoration and coziness combined with the fireplace, or the back area with the lanterns so I could get nice photos but ended up in the downstairs/basement. It wasn’t too bad just felt claustrophobic after a while it being a tight, crowded area. The food quality was great and had that homey touch to it, portions were exactly perfect for two people. Drinks were great and decently priced. Their desserts are defintely worth saving room for. Their extensive menu is one of the reasons I chose to dine here. Would reccommend!

Review 51 (2024-06-14 - Rating: 5)
The lasagna flight was fantastic, just like all the other reviews said! Great atmosphere but the room didn’t hold sound well so everyone’s voices were echoing and super loud- gave me a bit of a headache and it was hard to hear the person sitting directly across from me. Our server was wonderful and prompt and the drinks were delicious. I’d definitely come back.

Review 52 (2019-07-23 - Rating: 5)
Three friends and I came in with a 6 pm reservation for a Friday night. (They accept ressos for 4 people or more, but you just have to call them). It seemed pretty busy by then already, but our food still came out relatively quickly.We decided to just order a bunch of things and share:3-cheese course ($15) - choose any three cheese from the list. We went with the brie, stracchino, and mozzarella di bufala. All were great. You really cant go wrong with a cheese plateMesclun Con Anatra Affumicata ($14.50) - warm smoked duck breast with mixed greens in a lemon mustard dressing. This was a nice way to start the meal. I was afraid the smoked duck would be too salty, but it was perfect. The lemon mustard dressing was nice and light - not too mustardy. Even my friend, who doesnt like mustard, said it was goodPizza con Prosciutto Arrostito ($16) - pizza topped with tomato sauce, ham, mozzarella, basil & EVOO. This was nice and thin (not overly thin) and was the perfect size for four people (one slice each)Lasagna al Pesto ($15.50) - homemade pasta layered with pesto sauce,bechamel & parmigiano cheese. This was definitely the star of the show. I had never even heard of pesto replacing tomato sauce for lasagna before, so it was a welcomed twist to a classic. It would be pretty heavy for one person, so Im really glad that we decided to do family-style with all the dishesWe also ordered a bottle of wine, and our total for everything came out to $40 pp. With all that food, I dont think youd find a better price for the quality elsewhere. Our waiter wasnt that friendly, but then again, Im not really that friendly either, so its not a deal-breaker for me. At least he was attentive.Cant wait to come back!

Got there as soon as it opened 10a.m so we were the first there (love) . Dim lit place with outdoor glass roof seating..the kitchen is downstairs along with the bathrooms and some extra seating space. they sat us in the back with the option of going outside which looks pretty btw... the tables are nice but pretty small so careful... anyway the drinks and wine were tasty . We realized the menu stated pizza after 12p.m nooo thats what we came for so i asked the waitress about it & she said we can order anything on the menu! Great... the pizza was very good not salty, crust crispy tastes just right ... we also got lasagna to go.. ok so the lasagna was a little disappointing maybe because it was take out? it had no sauce & not much cheese and when reheated it produced so much oil...i would give it another shot but not to-go .. ill definitely go back... nice place and the waitresses were also nice

The best lasagna I ever had, no exaggeration. The cacio e pepe lasagna will send you to heaven on earth. Its a safe guaranteed bet. Tiramisu was pretty damn good too. The only knock is that its a tight space but it works and the restaurant is very popular, so its to be expected. if you have a large party, I recommend you make reservations.

Review 64 (2020-02-16 - Rating: 4)
Pasta is really good here - but I must say, their tiramisu is delicious. Only thing is for me tiramisu should not be served like a slice of cake (which it does in this place) but nonetheless it is yummy. It is a great friends get together kind of place. Backyard seating is recommended - it is a nice ambience.

Beautiful, cozy, welcoming and expensive place but ok its Manhattan and im from Italy! Perfect place for a break where to enjoy a coffee or coffee with liquors or very good cocktails. Supposed to be good also for dinner considering the good smell inside. We tried a caffè mola with whipped cream and a Martini (pretty strong and good). Beautiful cozy and romantic atmosphere on the small terrace in the covered garden behind!

My partner and I had a great experience at this restaurant. Our only wish is that we had come earlier so we could sit at one of their outside tent tables. But we got there around midnight. We got the veggie lasagna flight and the mushroom one was so good that we had to order a full size on of it. I also would recommend the pesto lasagna so yummy. The ambience is romantic, I like how it’s very dim lighting with little candles illuminating the table.

Great food and nice place, but the indoor patio was SO loud and the pizza sauce was watery. We ordered buffalo mozzarella and there wasn’t much on the pizza. The lasagna flight was good; I got the truffle on it but wished I didn’t because it somewhat overpowered the food. Would go back, but I would sit on the street in the private cabanas and not the back patio.

I rarely stop to write a good review but let me tell you i was just reminded of how much I love this place. Its no surprise they have been open since 1977. Their approach to hospitality and customer service is one that has become a lost art.Not only is the food good, and reasonably priced but they are one of the most laid back easy going places that I have visited in the city. Easy to throw a larger group birthday. Always willing to help. No demands or strict rules.I have had three birthdays here, and i have been back more times than i can count. I cant say that about many other places in Manhattan. I just love everything about them so much!Dont forget to sit in the winter garden. Its a gem.

Exceptional service. We were traveling for our anniversary weekend in NY and stayed at the Mandarine Oriental hotel across Central Park. This was the best pizza Ive had since I started visiting New York. Well worth the trip and its a great place to stop on the way home or the way to the 9-11 memorial. Ask to sit in the back patio area- Magnifico!!!Ask for Tammer as your waiter.

I loved everything about dining here! The food was amazing and everything about the atmosphere exuded that this is exactly the way a good Italian meal in the village should be experienced. We dined on the back yard patio which was bright and airy and the inside had several small dining rooms and bars in a quirky and classically old NYC layout.

This place is the best. The atmosphere is second to none. The place is so much bigger on the inside, beautiful garden seating, downstairs seating with live Jazz on some days, or upstairs in the main room. Food is great with very reasonable pricing and the wine list is extensive. Very romantic and cozy. Real old New York charm.

The lasagna flight was delicious, nice variety and big portions so you leave feeling full. Their desserts are also good, we each got different things and all enjoyed them, Id recommend La Lanterna for a small group, 3 people or less bc their tables are small, a perfect date spot

Very friendly staff and owner, excellent pizza and paninis. Only lasagne no other pasta. Pizza was great. Panini very good. And the dessert of Nutella pizza was awesome and feeds 6 people or more, 8 slices, though it went so fast. Yum!

Such a lovely place, day or night. Parisian charm. There are three areas: the front cafe & bar, the veranda in the back of the place, and a huge basement with live music. The large menu has all sorts of Italian things (small plates, bruschetta of several kinds, pizza), a whole page of drinks like European coffee and tea, and half a page of delicious desserts. I went twice in one day - for a cup of an afternoon tea and evening wine and sweets with friends. The place is booming day and night. Friendly waiters, fast service, delicious food.

Nestled in the heart of Greenwich Village, La Lanterna is a true gem. Their pizza is nothing short of spectacular, boasting a perfect blend of a crisp, yet chewy crust, fresh, flavorful toppings, and the ideal balance of cheese and sauce. Whether youre a traditional Margherita lover or seeking something more adventurous, each bite delivers an authentic taste of Italy. This spot is a must-visit for any pizza aficionado.

If you’re looking for a cosy and warm place to have dinner with indoor and outdoor patio seating then come to La Lanterna di Vittorio.Food/drinks: The drinks were great, we had the lychee martinis and the espresso martinis which were both made perfectly and strong. We ordered lasagna, pasta, and the margarita pizza. All were delicious and had fresh flavors.Atmosphere: This place has such a warm ambiance with the outdoor patio being very homey and inviting. It’s a great place for a date or to have dinner with friends and catch up. We made a reservation as this place does get busy quickly.Price: The prices here are fairly normal for the prices of restaurants in this location in NYC.Parking: There is street parking available but taking the subway or Uber is probably best to avoid the hassles of parking.

If youre looking to get sexy and intimate, the dimly lit patio with giant Moroccan-inspired lamps will probably seal the deal. There are plenty of dark corners to get your hanky panky on, and people will never notice because its way too dark and loud in there.Anywho, we stopped by here for dessert after a disappointing dinner. The Strawberry Cheesecake was meh--the cop-out kind where its just NY cheesecake with an over-sugared strawberry topping. But the Zuppa Inglese was creamy and welcoming. Gotta love that a green tea from them is still around $3, instead of the marked up $6 at most places.Will come back for real food one day.

We reserved a month in advance for a nice family dinner (party of four on a weekday), and they got us sat 30 minutes before our reservation. We sat on the patio and really enjoyed ourselves. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. We tried all three flights of lasagna: Vegetariano, Carne, and the Mare e Monti. All three flights were pretty outstanding, I don’t believe you can go wrong with one or the other. Nice wine menu to choose from.

We ate here after an early Comedy Cellar show and specifically reserved the lantern room. We loved the atmosphere and the food had great portions. Most of our group ordered calzones, and I had the lasagna flight which was a unique, tasty experience. Would recommend for a date night or to bring your out of town friends who like Italian food. Reasonably priced as well!

I had a soup of the day (minestrone) and a pizza. Both outstanding, the pizza is really great and very big for one.

Review 100 (2024-04-10 - Rating: 5)
La lanterna is popular for a reason. Please make a reservation if you have more than two people in your party. The indoor garden is gorgeous and the outdoor section is just not it. The atmosphere indoors is romantic and you feel transported to a New York summer in the late 1890s when you dine here.There is so much on the menu but I have to spotlight their somewhat ridiculously long list of lasagna choices. They are so indulgent and mouthwatering and you can’t go wrong with any of them. I had the vegetarian lasagna flight and I would recommend the arrabiata lasagna and the pesto.The food is delicious, the pizza, the calzones. It’s everything you could want in an Italian feast. Don’t skip this place if it’s on your list. And definitely don’t plan on skipping dessert. They have homemade tiramisu.

Came here for dinner before a show at the Comedy Cellar. We were seated in the cellar level-- didnt get a great look, but the main level and back patio looked nice than the cellar vibes. Overall, my friend and I had a great time. The food and drinks were good, good portions and not crazy expensive. l definitively wouldnt come here as a tourist visiting ny, as it isnt super special or unique, but as a New Yorker who doesnt need a fancy restaurant every night, this did the job. We split a pizza and the lasagna with truffle and had various wines by the glass and came away spending about 65$ each. Not bad for ny!

Wow and wow and wow again. I can’t say enough good things about this place. My partner and I sat in one of the igloos outside and it was so so cozy and romantic. We had the Pomodoto E Basillico bruschette, Pizza arabiatta, bolognese lasagna, and plenty of Prosecco. Our waitress Jae was delightful and recommended the lemon ricotta cheesecake with vanilla gelato — which you must try. My partner and I were looking for a nice, romantic and quality spot to celebrate me getting some of the best news I’ve ever gotten in my life and they did not disappoint.

I absolutely loved my first time back here in a while. I used to frequent La Lanterna in my younger years. Loved that the cozy front area is still as I remembered it pre-2000. Thats where I used to sit and I felt almost transported back to my younger years. My friend and I shared the Lasagna Ortolana, Pomodoro e Basilico, mesclun salad and Caramel Custard with dulce de leche gelato, and I had a glass of the Matua sauvignon blanc (happens to be my favorite). The combination made for a perfect dinner. To top it all, Omar was a wonderful waiter and Vittorio was always coming by filling our water and I had a brief conversation with him about how I loved this place and so glad to return after so many years. His greeting guests outside and his friendliness not only made me feel at home but flashed me back to my trip to Italy last year. I will always remember this dinner, and cant wait to return again soon.

I visited La Lanterna after a night out with friends in NYC. This is a mid-sized restaurant right on McDougal Street offering Italian cuisine. The most unique thing is its outdoor backyard patio that is enclosed with a clear roof. If you get the chance, try to snag a table there instead of the indoor seating. They have a wide selection of foods, drinks, and desserts. We only came to grab some desserts so I cannot speak on the dinner menu, though I would come back to try it some time. We ordered the Tiramisu, Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Cake Martini, and Creamy Chocolate Martini. They is nothing to say besides that they were all worth ordering because they left us leaving happy and satisfied. This was the perfect way to end the night and I am glad we did so!5/5 Stars

I highly recommend la lanterna. I started with a chinotto soda, a bittersweet nonalcoholic alternative to an aperitivo that also goes well with food. Then I had minestrone soup which was prepared in the Genovese style with pesto and no tomato. Finally I had a white lasagne made with lamb, bechamel, parmesan, walnuts, carrots, onions, and nutmeg. Soup and lasagna were both from the specials menu. I will be back for sure.

And the price is fair.They have a lovely garden on the back and cute little tents in front of the restaurant.Will definitely go back.One less star for the service. The server was not knowledgeable of their drinks and dishes who couldn’t give any recommendations. He was simply saying everything was good without even a little bit details.Update on 2/26/2021Came back with friends without a reservation on Friday night. Luckily got the last outdoor table on passengers way.It was nice, the server (maybe manager) made sure we have heater on and enough chairs and the table is not shaking😁I ordered a melbec, it tasted sour like vinegar taste. I guessed it was from a bottle opened a few days ago. I was afraid to talk to my waitress about it because she looked stressed and not too happy. But when the guy(manage) came back to chat with us, I politely mentioned it, he replaced a new full glass for me.We ordered pizza again, still good😋In general, I like this place and will keep coming back.

My girlfriend and I were able to walk-in and get a table on a Friday night (8pm) because they have a lower level for additional seating. The atmosphere and overall vibes were nice. The food was delicious and pretty decent for the price. We ordered the Carna Lasagna flight ($25.50), Vegetariano Lasagna Flight ($25.50), and Tiramisu ($7.50). Lasagna was solid - loved all the different flavors and styles with my favorite being the Funghi and Pesto. The tiramisu is delicious too but overpriced. Overall, I would rate this place a solid 8.5/10 - great taste and vibes but a bit pricey. Would come back for the lasagna.

My girlfriend and I were in the city and decided to catch an early dinner. After tossing around a few ideas, I mentioned this gem in NYC. We had lunch here during the summer and soon found ourselves outside requesting a table for two. After showing proof of vaccination, we headed to the lower level and had some of the best lasagna around. The food was spot on and the coffee afterwards was just as good. They also have a lasagna flight but we left that for another time. Each time Ive come here, the food has always been great and the staff as well. Great place with fair prices.

Great Greenwich Village location!! A fun spot. We had beers and dessert after hearing jazz nearby. I had the Italian cheesecake, which was so delicious. Nice vibes here.

Such a beautiful sweet little garden out back- and super cheerful, deferential service. My husband and I loved the pumpkin cognac cheesecake during one of our first dates. We loved it so much we called to have them order us a few for our nuptials. A lovely spot for special occasions and day to day.

You have to try it y’all! We also had the crostini it was also delicious. For drinks we had the menlona it’s their twist on the Manhattan also good.

I came in with a large group of friends Sunday afternoon and we couldnt have had a better experience! The service was tip-top and friendly. The food, especially the pizza, was exceptional. Perfect thin crust! We will be back!

Best lasagna I have ever had. My girlfriend ordered the pesto lasagna which I couldn’t help but take more than one bite of. And I ordered a flight of 4 meat lasagnas which I cannot express how good each one was. Short and simple review but will definitely be back soon.

This place is amazing. My girlfriend and I came to this great establishment to share our anniversary. She was stunned by the ambience of the place. Very romantic spot for a couple outside in the back and a great place to gather with friends inside. Did I mention that they have the most fulfilling lasagna dishes even though they seem like small portions. Homemade lasagna, couldnt get any better. I would definitely recommend this place.

I have been here twice and it has impressed me on both visits. The lasagne is flavor-packed delight and the pizza is also a must try. Pastries are worth giving a try, Tiramisu and the chocolate ones were yummy. To my surprise the Nutella pizza was also a great pick from dessert section. I’d also recommend Mocha Coffee for the coffee lovers.Overall a great vibe and a good place for Vegetarians.
