La Lanterna Caffe

In a neighborhood strewn with coffeehouses and cafes, La Lanterna di Vittorio is a charming little lover's paradise, perfect for those first dates or tete-a-tete over coffee. Sit inside in the lovely warmth of the plush wood interiors with a blazing fireplace, or teeter away to the dreamlike lamp-lit garden area that is never too crowded. The menu is a selection of authentic Italian fare like soups, pizzas and pastas. But their desserts, especially the gelato and tiramisu, will take you by surprise if you are expecting anything ordinary. The drinks lineup is also quite impressive with a choice of both hot and cold beverages, and a carefully assorted list of wines.
