"I went to La Lanterna on the off chance and was more than pleasantly surprised. In what looks to be a family run business the staff were friendly and thoroughly enjoyable to be around. The restaurant was extremely busy yet the service and food was top class. The food is typical Italian and although I only had Pizza and my companions simple pasta dishes they were all delicious. With more than competitive prices and in an ideal location I can only think of positives and would recommend you go there!!"

Walking around Edinburgh on a sunny afternoon (so rare!) to find a nice place to have lunch outside, we stumbled upon two tables at La Lanterna

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this restaurant. It was recommended in a city guide and the prices were reasonable, so we decided to check it out.

Without a doubt, one of the best Italian's I've had! Great location, rustic decor, the staff were friendly and most importantly the food was outstanding. I went for the courses lunch and would have happily paid more, all homemade by passionate people. Make sure you check this family run place out! View menu

Delicious food and great atmosphere! We had a group of including a former chef, and our entire group thoroughly enjoyed our orders, which included sea bass, chicken, and pizza. If we are ever in Edinburgh again, we will definitely return! (this is my first time ever writing a review if that is any indication).

Really enjoyed my meal here. Although the food is your standard Italian, the staff here make it special. It's always busy but the service is great and you feel they actually want you to be there rather than trying to rush you out to get the next set of tourists in. Definitely recommend it! Not too pricey either

My wife and I were traveling with our good friends and had a craving for Italian food. Looked up this place on Google and we were very impressed. Everything you would expect from a hole in the wall Italian restaurant and much more. The food was excellent but, the personal touch and welcome to my home attitude of the owner really made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend. View menu

I had visited La Lanterna a while ago when it was under different ownership, so I decided to give it another try. I was craving a hearty lunch, so I opted for the three-course lunch menu which is popular among those looking for good value. The deal includes a choice of soup, dough balls, or potato skins for starters, a pasta or pizza dish for the main course, and coffee or the dessert of the day to finish off the meal.

This restaurant may be easy to overlook, but it is definitely worth a visit. Run by a small family who lives upstairs, this place may not have the flashy appeal of a popular restaurant. However, the food is delicious. I ordered fried goat cheese, asparagus with fried eggs, white sauce pasta, and buffalo mozzarella and tomato pizza. Everything was fantastic, although the pizza was just okay for me. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. A must-visit if you are in Edinburgh.
