After reading all of the reviews for La Lanterna Caffe, I expected this place to be the perfect Valentine's Day dinner spot; boy was I wrong. I can certainly deal with the slow, ...

Don't Go Down to the Dining Room!!! 1/25/2004

The place is a perfect place for couples to go, very romantic and cozy. The chocolate mudcake is the best in the city. However, the service at the downstair dining room was HORRIBLE!!! The waiter was rude and obnoxious. We had a party of 3 and he ""commanded"" us to sit at a table suitable for 2, and he told us the other empty tables (MANY) were all reserved. I strongly recommend you to stay upstairs or go to the bar next door. Pros: atmosphere, food Cons: service downstairs more

great place, clumsy service 11/14/2003

this place is very cozy and great if you want to spend a romantic late night with your significant other. the pizzas are delicious, and so are their desserts. i always get the apple pie, but the past two times i visited, the waiter burnt the pie while he was supposed to warm it up. he served it to me like it was a big pile of burnt mush on the plate. Pros: romantic Cons: clumsy service more

Great Place for an Intimate Evening 1/12/2003

Both the upstairs (with a fireplace and comfy round tables) and the basement (dark, and intimate with Billie Holiday music playing) are great. The food is delicious, the thin crust pizzas are incredible. For desert take the tiramisu, it is by far the best there. Overall a great place for a date. Also good when getting away from the wintery weather at night..take a seat by the fireplace then. Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Great Atmosphere more

As good as it gets 1/11/2003

For the best brick oven gourmet pizza La Lanterna is the place to get it from. A bit tight in space but very intimate and romantic for a first time date. The array of selection of wines allows you to transport yourself to a winery in Italy. It is delicious, romantic, cozy and convienently located near washington square park, for that romantic stroll after dinner. more

good break from starbucks 9/17/2002

Everyone is pretty chill at this charming little west village late-night spot. No one bothers you about leaving, and the coffee is good. It's a great place to hang out and talk or sober up after a long night bar hopping. It's a young crowd, and you can hang out by yourself without feeling self-conscious. Pros: location, atmosphere, house more
