The lunch special remains mandatory. In and out in 38 minutes after bruschetta, pasta bolognese, a little salad, tiramisu and 2 glasses of wine, can't argue with that Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: House Special Offer

My partner has celiac disease, so finding a good Italian restaurant has been a nightmare, but La Lanterna was a great discovery. La Lanterna offers all pasta dishes except lasagna and cannelloni as gluten-free, including their monthly specials. They also have gluten-free bruschetta. The staff is incredible and very accommodating. And the food is delicious. Service: Dine-in.

We booked for 16 of us for our Tuesday morning tennis group. The food was delicious, we pre-ordered which made it efficient and the service was fine. One of our party was ill but we were not charged. There was a delay to our getting in as the place is so popular the staff were still laying up the tables. Thoroughly recommend for good Italian food at competitive prices. Service: Dine in
