  “Had a lovely evening dining here on 8/5/26. VICTORIA PROVIDED IMPECCABLE SERVICE. The drinks were constantly filled and she was always checking up on us and ensuring all dietary restrictions were accommodated. She has the sweetest personality and made it seem like I was dining at a Michelin star restaurant with her level of attentiveness. I will always want to come back and eat here if VICTORIA is serving me.”

  “Nice place. Beautiful dining in the back. There was some sort of impromptu method acting or something going on that was kind of interesting. Good prices on wine. Had a margherita pizza and carpacci. Food wasn't anything exceptional but atmosphere was top notch.”

  “Large menu, delicious pizza, pasta, cheese, etc. Ordered a margarita which was average. Liked the tiramisu. Service was attentive, I think there was a bit of a language barrier. The lasagna is so rich and tasty. We were seated in the back patio which was really cute and a nice setting for a work dinner or really any occasion.”

  “Great Italian spot for good food and drinks. Indoor patio is a nice place to sit and enjoy an outdoor garden without the heat. Rustic old world charm. Main dining room is small but there are more seating options downstairs. Lively …”

  “Lasagna flights are a great hook. Personally not the biggest lasagna fan but when this place came up on my instagram feed I was eager to try it out. They have three different flights that each come with four mini lasagnas. We ordered a few …”

  “Charming and welcoming Italian eatery in New York City. The lasagna flights are a highlight—absolutely tasty. We also enjoyed the soup of the day to warm up on a chilly day. Their menu is extensive.”

  “La Lanterna di Vittorio was the perfect place for a relaxed and enjoyable lunch. From the moment we arrived, everything was simple, efficient, and welcoming, creating exactly the kind of atmosphere you hope to find in a great neighborhood Italian restaurant. The food was excellent. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care, showcasing authentic Italian cuisine without trying to overcomplicate it. The quality of the ingredients really stood out, and each bite reflected the restaurant’s commitment to traditional flavors. One of the highlights was the service. It was fast, friendly, and efficient, allowing us to enjoy our meal without unnecessary waiting or excessive formality. Everything flowed naturally, making for a very pleasant dining experience. A special recommendation goes to the bruschetta—it was absolutely delicious and a perfect way to start the meal. Fresh, beautifully balanced, and full of flavor, it’s definitely something you shouldn’t miss when visiting. Overall, La Lanterna di Vittorio offers exactly what a great Italian restaurant should: delicious food, prompt and attentive service, a warm atmosphere, and an experience that feels genuine rather than overly complicated. I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent lunch in New York.”

  “This place is GORGEOUS! Such a beautiful and cozy spot - perfect for date night, solo dining or with just a couple of people. Went recently with a friend and we fell IN LOVE with the place. Unfortunately the Garden sitting area in the back was packed that night (the main floor dining area on the other hand was not packed). We did sit at a corner spot which gave us a glimpse into the garden area. I literally felt like I was in some Italian restaurant. Loved the overall ambience. The food was good...I docked it one star because although we ordered one of their most popular items (the classic lasagna-pictured) we noticed that the lasagna was more cheese than pasta making it excessively greasy. Literally tasted like we were eating baked cheese with meat. Drinks on the other hand were delicious.”
