My bf put together a dinner celebration @ La Lanterna for my bday w/ friends. He & I arrived w/ 1 friend & waited for the other 4 to arrive. The staff offered us a corner table nr. the front to wait for our party to arrive while they readied our outside garden table. Finally, when no one had showed 20 min. late, we asked for our table. The staff was understanding about our missing party members & quickly readjusted unneeded xtra tables & chairs. An hr. past the declared dinner time, the missing 4 people showed up, scooting over the tables the restaurant had left open just in case. They were very accomodating to the late comers as well. Even though the service can be a lil' slow, they have great food & drink @ this restaurant! Some say it's noisy & unromantic, but I really enjoy the atmosphere of La Lanterna & will always enjoy introducing friends & family to this place.
Pros: Great garden ambience, Amazing Italian fare
Cons: Service can be slow sometimes because they're SO busy! But the servers are really nice & politely accomodating.
