Description: Osteria la Lanterna è una piccola realtà sul confine con la Svizzera. Pamela, la chef, propone una cucina innovativa ma tradizionale al tempo stesso, prediligendo materie prime di ottima qualità e il più possibile a km0. La nostra piccola osteria oltre al cibo, offre una cantina, sempre in trasformazione, con numerosi vini selezionati. La vicinanza con il lago permette di godere di una graziosa vista sul Ceresio sia d'estate in terrazza, che in inverno dalla nostra veranda.

On our way back from Menaggio towards the Swiss border we decided to stop before Suisse for dinner. Just by hazzard we saw the little sign a few meters before the restaurant and decided to go and have dinner. This restaurant is really a bright light in our trip around the Como and Lugano lakes. Very creative kitchen with high quality food. Enjoy the lake view the food and the excellent service.

We were staying in Lugano, Switzerland and a friend recommended this pleasant little restaurant in Italy just across the border near Gandria. We enjoyed our dinner very much. We had a prix-fixe menu but there were many other interesting choices a la carte. A young woman chef is in charge of the kitchen and is creating attractive and innovative dishes using fresh local ingredients. The atmosphere is friendly and prices are very reasonable.

We had a lovely meal at Osteria La Lanterna.
The fish was outstanding, we really enjoy the location and food.
We had the table looking into the kitchen, a rather nice experience as well.
We'll be back.

The food was pretty average. Really nothing special and in some cases quite dissapointing. The service was very rushed, as lunchtime serice was winding down and we were not offered coffee or dessert. The staff are very nice, but this only makes this review tougher... I liked the people but everything else was a let down.
