Come for the space, there's a lovely enclosed patio in the back! Stay for the pizza and the drinks, both of which were surprisingly good. Be warned, however, that the menu is a novella. So many options, it's approaching overwhelming. If you like Neapolitan-style pizza, you'll definitely enjoy La Lanterna's. It was the right chewiness, and the toppings and sauce were tasty. I also had one of the many available adult beverages, opting for a hard coffee. It was excellent. The cheese and pate plate was good -- the bread it came with was well seasoned and had a nice crisp. But the presentation definitely leaves something to be desired, it definitely looked like an elementary school science fair project on the plate. Overall, good food, not too pricey, and a nice patio. Solid option!

After the Jazz Brasil performance around the corner at Zinc, we all ventured out in the pouring rain for a bite to eat at La Lanterna di Vittorio on the famous MacDougal Street, West Village. The Lasagnes and Pizzas are the stars on the Menu here. Yes, it's very dark, it's noisy, it brought back memories of our good old college days lingering over conversations in tight spaces . We couldn't really talk but we were nourished for the return home. Still pouring rain outside. It was the company that mattered. Four stars this time. Thank you for reading.

Came here for a birthday dinner and had a rather disappointing service. We booked this restaurant for its romantic ambiance and authentic Italian food. Since we wanted our own space, we booked an outdoor/patio seating. The menu was overwhelming as they have an extensive drink/food items. We ended up ordering the Pizza con Prosciutto Arrostito, Meat Lasagna Flight, , Formaggi e Paté, and Tiramisu for dessert. The lasagna flight wasn't very flavorful and it wasn't anything that was extraordinary that would make me want to go back. The pizza was ok...The tiramisu was a bit too wet for my preference. What was more disappoting was the service. The food took almost 45min to come out after ordering and our server was not really attentive. It didn't hep that the outside seating that we were sitting was faced directly from the main entrance door, where we were able to see our server go on her phone multiple times (which wouldn't bother me if she was actually taking, and brining our order timely) The only thing I liked from the entire dinner was the lychee cocktail. lol. Would not recommend as there are plenty of other Italian restaurants that offers better food, service and ambiance.

-Great Ambiance (obviously) -Service was excellent Jae was our server and she was very helpful and very attentive. -Food was excellent, me and my wife got both the Lasagne flights and shared them all and had plenty to take home. -It was a fun experience, perfect for a date night trying the different versions of lasagne, comparing them and raving about the good ones and sharing why others were not your thing but still trying, they knew what they were doing with the little rating papers they gave. Also apparently Taylor Swift ate there, so that if thats your thing.
This place was a good experience. The lasagna flight was solid. I would give it a 7.5 out of 10. Could have way more flavor but I loved trying them. The pizza was delicious! 8.5/10! I actually liked the pizza more and I would just be decisive and choose one delicious lasagna next time lol. The service was middle of the line but it was busy.

The food was delicious! The waiters were salty, but if in the area again, I would go back for the lasagna.
