I Only can say excellent things about this place, first of all the wellcoming was inusual , we were late due to the traffic, but they told us to not worry , they were going to wait for... More

Quite a cozy restaurant inside, not much space between tables. There was not a spare seat in the house when we dined on a Saturday night. Always a good sign of a positive meal to follow. Perfect environment for group dining up to around 12-15 people I would suggest. We shared some starters, garlic bread (with and without cheese), calamari,... More

Very friendly, family run business. We were in Edinburgh just for two nights and we're pleased we chose to eat here. Delicious antipasti spaghetti. Restaurant was full of locals which is always a good sign.

The food here is second to none - really good quality Italian cuisine. Staff very friendly, gets busy at weekends so best to book but well worth a visit.

We came here for lunch before taking a train back home from Edinburgh station. The place was completely full which we took for a good sign. We were glad we booked - apparently they have lots of regulars. It is located within just a few metres of other Italian restaurants but we gather they have been there for many years.... More

The deserts were particularly good. I would... More

We found the staff at La Lanterna to be great from the moment we stepped in the door until we left. We stopped by for an early evening meal and the place was not that busy; however more customers came in and the place soon filled. Service was very good and timely; menu had great variety and food was outstanding.... More

Lovely little restuarant which we visited for my husbands 30th birthday on our weekend in Edinburgh. Nothing glamorous inside but it didn't need that. The staff were lovely and very funny. They had a laugh with us which was great. They food was really nice too and very fresh. They were happy to accomodate our needs when we asked to... More
