So cute. Eating outside is a must. Seating is not the most comfortable, no padding very hard metal seats I take so people don't linger around. Sangria was very sweet. Did not taste the alcohol but was very good. Meatballs was the most moist I'd ever had. Calamari was good as well with a spicy homemade wine sauce not marinara. The Furtti De Mare was delicious and so was the chicken parm. Very attentive staff.

Delicious food in a very cool, clean concept. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal and so did my friend. Make sure you leave room for dessert!

I must say I lived in yonkers all my life and never came across this gem until now. Very relaxed cozy feeling. My only inconvenience is that it opens at 3pm. Now food excellent, I order the ravioli meatball and I was blown away, service was on point always someone making sure if we were ok, some of the pictures in the website ate not exactly what they serve unless is a daily special. Price seems reasonable, I would of suggest to have a wine open for tasting, specially with the special wine they advertise. Hot sauce it should be a better variety or at least make a house hot sauce themselves for spicy eaters like my wife, Tabasco sauce too plain. We sat at the patio. The wife loved the music and the dessert to die for. I had the trio cannolie and the wife had the scores dessert with ice scream. New favorite place.

Great restaurant with a nice outdoor patio seating for warm weather visits. Servers and bussers were responsive and attentive to needs. Food was served hot and tasted fresh, with good flavor.

The place looks small, but it is pretty big inside. Not enough parking, but you could always find one. Food and service 5 starts. Everything in the menu is delicious. Make sure you're hungry because they served you enough food. I noticed everyone had a doggie bag to go. ( leftover) everyone is very friendly from the staff to the customer. If you visit, I hope you enjoy like I did. 👍🏻

A GEM! From the hostess, to the bartender to the wait staff the service is A1. The food is spectacular, tastes fresh, nice presentation and full of quality ingredients. The outdoor seating is comfortable and beautifully decorated. There’s a parking lost across the street, I recommend & am definitely coming back!

I came on a Saturday for a 6:15 pm reservation. Hostess was friendly and sat me and my guest right away. Water for the table was served very quickly but that's where the quick serviced ended unfortunately. The restaurant itself is cozy on the inside and beautiful seating on the outside. Our appetizer of the spicy garlic shrimp was good. Very enjoyable. For my meal I got the ceasar salad with salmon. The salmon was overcooked and dry. My guest got the lobster ravioli and that was actually pretty good. I am not sure if the air conditioning was broken but it was faint which made the restaurant very warm. The service was slow and unattentive. Waiter never checked on us unless we asked. Felt as if we had to beg for service. However, despite all that went wrong I had a good time with my guest. So that made up for what went wrong. My rating is actually 3.50

One of the better Italian restaurants in Yonkers. Portions are above average. I appreciated that I was able to get a table on Valentine’s Day and within two hours of making the reservation. Meatballs were good, pappardelle was good — the carbonara wasn’t good. Unfortunately, nothing was great. Sort of like an above average local pizzeria. The pappardelle: seems that from photos others posted: the pappardelle was in a more watery tomato sauce at one point and has since evolved into a red/pink cream sauce, which I prefer. My only dislike with the dish is that the whipped ricotta should be popped in the oven for maybe 30 seconds — thus, I didn’t like the clump of cold ricotta over hot pasta. The carbonara: It seems that this dish is using an Alfredo type sauce, I could be wrong. There was a funky aroma like burnt cream or maybe like a cream base sauce stored in plastic prior to service. I’ve had carbonara everywhere, this one missed the mark I must say. Seems to be more like a less creamy Alfredo with bacon cooked prior to adding the sauce. The Meatballs: surprisingly good when reading on the menu that they were stuffed with mozzarella — I didn’t see any mozz when inside when eating. So, unsure of that. I think the price was very high for this dish. If I’m not mistaken, I believe it was $19. Should be priced at maybe $14, tops. Service: it was ok, the waiter did fix a wobbly table, but that was upon request. I feel the tables should’ve been sorted before hand so that you do not inadvertently spill your drinks from the table moving. Further, the waiter didn’t ask if we wanted a refill, but that’s ok, ultimately it was a success. However, nothing to write home about. I’m giving four stars for the immediate seating on a busy holiday. I appreciate the owner asking each table how they were enjoying themself, and, the atmosphere is nice for a mom and pop establishment.

I’m writing this review three days later and I am still full from the amazing dinner I had at La Lanterna. What a great experience! The staff were friendly and accommodating of our party even though we arrived late for our reservation. They got us a table quickly. We enjoyed specials of the day and menu classics like the Chicken Parmesan and pasta dishes. The portions are large enough to share between the table so you get a good sampling. The food was delicious no complaints. I can’t wait to come back.

This place is definitely a hidden gem in Yonkers! I loved everything about this place and will definitely be coming back! The food was exquisite especially the Spicy Garlic Shirmp, it was my absolute favorite and I recommend it 100%, And the cocktails are also GREAT!! If you're looking to have a good time while in NY La Lantera is definitely the place to go!

The food was surprisingly awesome! This was a recommendation from a friend and so we put it in the GPS and in the way we thought we entered the wrong address because it is located in an odd area. But we got there at 3:30 on a Sunday and there were lots of people already. The food was really amazing and we'll executed. The margarita pizza was so tasty (their sauce is really superb). Then we also got a fig prosciutto pizza that had some fresh burrata on it. As for the beer, they have some good beers, but it's not that they have a long list of craft beers from random breweries in the area. But they do have an option to drink from a boot!

This delicious italian eatery is tucked away in North Yonkers. The indoor and outdoor space is great for couples, families or solo meals. Their pretzel is delicious served up with three difference sauces/sides. Their chicken is fresh and tasty. Some of their wait staff are attentive and caring however our experience has been great overall. Their drinks are delicious and made to perfection. Highly recommend this italian eatery especially in the warmer days and months. Cheers - well deserving of their five stars

Came here for the first time for Valentine’s Day. I must say the food we ordered was pretty good. We didn’t have a reservation, so we sat by the bar. The food prices for our orders was reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place, and come back for sure.

Beware of the bees!!! Other than that the food was outstanding, you can definitely tell this restaurant cares about quality ingredients and the presentation was everything. Wished I lived closer.

It was Thursday evening after work and we didn't have reservations and we was 2 seated immediately in the main dining room. Automatically I suggested the Lobster Ravioli w/ Shrimp in creamy lobster sauce. And Chicken parmigiana with pasta to split between us. And my business partner noticed The Avocado fries. Yes we certainly busted down our meal topped off with 2 Arnold Palmers Sweet lemonade mixed with unsweetened ice tea a perfect tasting blended drink. So yes we will be back for this in the cut spot.

The food is superb. The service is attentive. The German/Swiss dishes like the schnitzel are excellent as are all the Italian offerings. The risotto balls, the buratta, the salads, the chicken Parm, the salmon, everything is beautifully prepared. I am allergic to shellfish, but friends rave about the frutti di mar, the seafood soup, the mussels and clam dishes. The flourless chocolate cake is so dense and rich. The tiramisu is one of the best I have ever had anywhere.

Had dinner with a friend today. It was my first time here. Everything was delicious! We got Caesar salad and calamari to start and I got the cavatelli as an entree. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I also got some zeppoles to go 😋

Best date restaurant in Westchester! Especially on their lovely low key outdoor patio. But they welcome families too and any size group at this part-Swiss, part-Italian eatery that’s off the beaten path. My daughter went Swiss and got the schnitzel with pappardelle. Delicious! I opted for Italian with a perfectly cooked Chicken francese. As you see from the pix, the portions including dessert are very generous. I don’t know why I had not heard of this place before, butt try I will be coming back. In fact they should rename La Lanterna, La Returna! Because once you visit you will want to return.

Amazing experience here! The staff is wonderful and attentive. Never felt like I had to wait around for the person that was assigned to our table. The food was quick and absolutely delightful. We got the rigatoni lala vodka, risotto balls, lobster ravioli and chicken parm. The ambiance is good and calm. Can’t wait to come back!!

I had been wanting to try this place for months after finding it on Instagram... I came in early on a Friday by myself to beat the dinner rush... I ordered 2 entrees. *Friendly, great service. *Complimentary warm bread. Food came out fast, fresh and super hot. Hands down the Rigatoni Lala Vodka was AMAZING!! 🥰 (addictive) Would definitely come back with friends to dine out on their outdoor patio!
