La Lanterna

Comemos allí cada vez que venimos, excelente pizza, cálida bienvenida, volveremos por la pasta, excelente lugar

Reservamos este lugar, sin embargo, por lo que pude ver, aceptan visitas sin cita previa.
Para empezar, comí bruschetta, que era grandiosa pero bastante básica (tal vez esperaba algo más que tomates sobre una tostada en un restaurante italiano) y mi otra mitad tenía langostinos y champiñones ligeramente picantes. Este plato estuvo increíble. Aunque probablemente sea el entrante más caro del menú, los langostinos eran enormes y estaban cocinados a la perfección.
Mi único aspecto negativo es el precio de las patatas fritas: 6,50 € me pareció bastante elevado para un plato pequeño de patatas fritas.

Ambos comimos una pizza como plato principal, auténtica pizza italiana al horno de leña que estaba deliciosa.
La factura para dos fue de 64e con 2 refrescos.

Definitivamente una de las mejores pizzas de puerto del carmen.

Disfruté de pizzas absolutamente deliciosas, ensalada (y papas fritas.que realmente no necesitábamos.pero bueno. ¡¡estamos de vacaciones!) y una deliciosa botella de vino tinto.
Comida fresca, sabrosa, saludable y simplemente maravillosa. ¡Encantado de haberte encontrado! Gracias x

Comimos una pizza tipo farol, una margarita, dos vinos de la casa y una tarta de queso, todo muy bueno, una pizza verdaderamente italiana, un personal amable y servicial. También hacen primicias. Si buscas cocina italiana, estás aquí, muy recomendable. El precio es promedio.

INCREÍBLE. El mejor restaurante de mi vida, fuimos de vacaciones y repetimos, las pizzas.la pasta buenísimo! Vaya sabor! Nos ha encantado, mucha calidad! Precio muy bueno

¡Pizzería italiana auténtica en Lanzarote!
Cenamos aquí la tradicional “pizza del viernes por la noche” y después de una excelente salsa de mejillones comimos dos pizzas que nos dejaron sin palabras! ¡Quizás una de las mejores pizzas que he comido es sin duda la mejor que he comido en el extranjero! Excelentes ingredientes, masa ligera y corteza alta. ¡Realmente podemos decir que nos sentimos como en casa!

Todo excelente, muy buena pizza. Excelente y cortés servicio, rápido, ambiente agradable y bien cuidado. Excelente relación precio/calidad. ¡Lo recomiendo altamente!

Llevamos veraneando en el Puerto del Carmen más de 10 años, este verano nos ha dado por probarlo, y ésta es la segunda vez que hemos venido a cenar. Ha sido un acierto total en cuanto a la comida: la pasta, las pizzas y la lasaña nos han recordado a los viajes que hemos hecho por la Toscana, Roma, Bolonia, Florencia… además de la simpatía de los camareros. Por si fuera poco, tienen opciones sin gluten que, según mi cuñada que es alérgica al trigo, están muy ricas y muy logradas. Sin duda, lo añadimos a nuestra lista de favoritos y lo recomendaremos.

Así que fuimos aquí durante una visita fugaz a Puerto del Carmen después de ver las excelentes reseñas de Google. Lo que puedo decir es que este lugar no defrauda. El personal fue muy amable y acogedor. La comida está fuera de este mundo. La pasta de gambas con mascarpone y pistacho estaba para morirse. El tiramisú, la pizza y el limoncello casero también fueron como bocados de estar en Italia. ¡Sinceramente, sería una locura ir a Puerto del Carmen y no comer aquí!

Gracias de nuevo a La Lanterna por la increíble comida de esta noche y si volvemos a Lanzarote, definitivamente volveremos.

Lovely little authentic italian place right at the beach front. Had the homemade seafood ravioli and bruschetta, was excellent. A classy yet homely place, recommending.

Came here last year and had a much better menu.
Sadly they didn’t come up to expectations this year.
Paper placemats which were awful.
Dated interior.
Service took ages to arrive.
Looked absolutely delicious BUT it was cold in the middle for both meals so sent it back and took 15 mins to reappear!
Still not piping hot hence this review.
Gave it a second chance a few days later but still the same issues.
Quality is key in the food industry.

The restaurant was busy when we arrived but not as rowdy as some of the other restaurants along the strip. It was nice to have Italian food on offer as the other restaurants were all very similar, but the food was disappointing. The pizza dough was dense rather than light and airy, and the quality of the toppings was not great. I saw someone get lasagne, and the portion was very small. Calamari could have used a dip and the bruschetta was not as good as others I have tried.

Edit following owners response.

I have not altered my original score as it is based upon my experience at the time. The waiters that served us were polite and friendly hence I rated their service 4 stars, but the owner has come out rude and defensive. The owner gets a zero.

There appears to be an issue with the translation of my review. I stated it was busy but not in a bad way, for example it did not impact on the good service we got from the staff and we could still hear each other to have a conversation. Other restaurants are so busy that you wait for a long time, music is too loud etcetera.

The owner clearly doesn't know their own menu. I uploaded a photo of my calamari starter and a photo of the menu which shows calamari under the starters - it is the fifth item under the starters. Rather than being rude you can read your menu or learn the difference between a prawn and calamari.

With respect of the pizza and using the owners words I would describe their pizzas as a frisbee - the crust was thin and dense, it was not thick and airy. There was the odd bubble on the pizza but a good pizza would have had more air right round the crust. The thin dense crust can be seen in photos from other reviews. It is certainly not neopolitan standard. For clarity, I did not think the artichokes were very tasty and I usually enjoy them.

I did not comment on the quality (good or bad) of the lasagne, but I noticed how small the portion was which is an opinion I am entitled to have.

Amazing! If you want to eat authentic Italian food this is the perfect place! From pizza to pasta to dessert everything was home made with care and good ingredients, everyone was very helpful and prepared and the overall experience was just great! We will definitely be back before leaving. It's hard to find such good pizza even in Italy!

This is an insult to Italian food. Having travelled throughout Italy, this was awful.
The seafood risotto was a very poor quality paella. It was rice boiled with seafood shells, awful.

This Italian is a hidden gem in Lanzarote. The food here is amazing and such great value for money. The service was excellent also. I would definitely recommend if you're searching for a high quality meal - which can be difficult to get, given the bombardment by those canvassing the endless array of restaurants on the strip. Booking was made extremely easy via WhatsApp too!

Una certezza assoluta: ristorante italiano, con vera cucina italiana, senza compromessi
Ottimo staff, sempre presente e disponibile. Meriterebbe più di cinque stelle.
Locale consigliatissimo.
Diffidate dalle imitazioni vedi lanterna di Glasgow

Had a wonderful meal there last Saturday. Run by Italians with extremely friendly Italian staff. Home made pasta traditional Italian dishes very reasonable prices. Best meal by far we've had in Lanza since we arrived - going again before we leave.

Really really good food. Lovely small restaurant much better than the large one further along the strip. Definitely recommend and will return.

Süsses kleines Restaurant mit sehr schönem Ambiente und freundlichem Personal.
Von oben sieht man gut über den Strand und das Meer. Das Essen war sehr lecker und authentisch Italienisch. TOP es hat ums sehr geschmeckt.

Just had the worst carbonara ever.
I have had carbonara from Italian restaurants all over Europe, including this one and generally find that they are ok, but this time the quality was not up to standard and then to slag the customer off by basically telling them they don't know what real Italian food tastes like or how it is prepared is down right insulting. It takes more than a list of ingredients to prepare a good meal.

Un buen descubrimiento en la vorágine de restaurantes de Puerto del Carmen. Son realmente 100% italianos. La pasta casera, muy sabrosa, y la focaccia, muy gustosa. No os vayáis sin probar el tiramisú!

Splendid meal tonight. Everything was delicious and the service was 100%
Smiling happy staff and the desert menu was translated and described.
Thank you.

Authentisches italienisches Restaurant mit kleiner, aber sehr ausgesuchter Karte. Schöner Ausblick auf das Meer von oberhalb der Promenade im ersten OG. Sehr freundliche und zuvorkommender Service. Wir waren so begeistert, dass wir gleich zweimal in unserem Urlaub dort waren.

Lugar recogido e intimo en plena zona turística. Se come muy bien y el servicio es atento y muy amable. Lugar muy recomendable.

Hicimos un pedido para entregar a domicilio. El servicio fue muy rápido. Pero la comida no nos gustó, muy pobre las pizzas en ingredientes. La pizza con rúcula, demasiado amarga, 4 langostinos literalmente. Cuatro pegotes de salsa BBQ en la pizza barbacoa. Salchichas de mala calidad en la pizza de salchichas y 4 papas gajos, nuestros hijos no se la comieron. La lasaña, ni la comimos. No nos ha gustado. Me parece una falta de respeto que me contesten en inglés en vez de en español, que es en el idioma que yo me he dirigido a ustedes. Evidentemente, mi opinión es personal, de eso se tratan las reseñas. Pero sé contar langostinos, sé detectar cantidad de pollo o salsa BBQ y sé cuando unas salchichas son buenas. Y por supuesto, si hubiera querido comer comida rápida, hubiera pedido a un sitio de comida rápida y hubiera invertido menos dinero. Pero no era lo que nos apetecía ni es en el tipo de sitios donde solemos comer. Para no querer discutir, su respuesta no es nada acertada. ¡Ojalá hubiéramos comido en el sitio para que vieran como dejábamos la comida en los platos!

Volvimos a repetir y, como el buen vino mejoran con los años. Nunca defrauda. Muy buen servicio, buenas recomendaciones para no pecar de querer comer mucho, ellos te aconsejan y no defraudan. La pizza espectacular, la mejor de Lanzarote y de cualquier otro sitio. Caseras y muy buenas

Very good place, we ate very well, fresh fish, pizza and good wine. We were 5 of us. I suggest it to go!

A parte la comida excelente y italiana 100%, un amabilidad y buen trato que te hacen sentir muy a gusto, repetir no es una opción. 5 Estrellas merecida

Ieri sera avevamo voglia di PIZZA e dopo una ricerca su TripAdvisor abbiamo trovato “La Lanterna”. Pizza gustosa e di ottima qualità con una gestione completamente italiana. Personale cordiale e molto disponibile.
CONSIGLIATO!

Amazing views and pizza too. Had the vegan option and definitely would go back. The waitress who served us was brilliant, clearly loved her job and attentive to boot! 10/10

Best pizza I've had on holiday by far. As close to authentic as you will get over here. Perfectly cooked and fresh. Will be back over the next few days.

Before we ordered we checked they could cater for Vegans.advised us which pasta's we could choose as they are made in house. Ordered an aubergine and tomato spaghetti dish and spaghetti with vegetables in a tomato sauce. Both were beautiful.

Una de las mejores pizzas de Lanzarote, una masa casera deliciosa y con la opción de elegir dos sabores en el tamaño xxl, ideal para dos personas.
Trato muy amable y buen local con vistas al mar.

Average was really looking forward to it as we have been before their tomato sauce was terrible tasteless watery.

Il miglior ristorante dove mangiare italiano, gestito da personale gentilissimo, tutti italiani a partire dal titolare al cuoco e ai camerieri. Abbiamo mangiato benissimo, ottimo cibo. Lo consiglio vivamente a chi vuole trovare un buon piatto italiano.

Great family friendly restaurant, professional staff, nice authentic Italian food, no delays. Wine and drinks served perfectly. Good coffee!

La pizza est assez bien mais le reste ne suit pas, peuvent faire mieux pour des italiens. ça manque de soin malgré une serveuse bien sympathique

El sitio es ubicado en la planta alta que es accesible por la escalera.el restaurante es pequeño y acogedor.fuimos a por pizza y fue la opción correcta buena masa y el staff completamente italiano.ottimo

La pasta riquísima, probamos la carbonara y los ñoquis con salsa de gorgonzola y nueces y estaban deliciosos. Los camareros muy atentos y el local agradable.

Frequentiamo questo ristorante da anni e ci siamo sempre trovati bene, da quando è cambiata la gestione nonostante la buona volontà del proprietario, la qualità dei piatti e delle pizze è peggiorata. Il mio calzone era secco fuori e l'impasto poco cotto, quindi un pochino pesante da digerire. Le pizze dei bambini avevano poco bordo ed anche questo impasto che sembrava avere molta farina integrale era poco cotto. Alle 21.15 di sabato sera, il buonissimo tortino al cioccolato non era già più disponibile.insomma forse una serata sfortunata, però devo dire che la differenza rispetto a prima, si è sentita.

Fabulous authentic Italian Restaurant.owned by an Italian family. Beautiful fresh food. I ordered the Bruschetta and Lasagna. Both delicious! My husband had seabass.he totally recommends.definitely our favourite restaurant so far in Lanzarote

Lovley little Italian restaurant. Well worth a visit. Had the calamari and gnocchi. Would call again.

Great food (best tiramisu i’ve EVER had), great services and very nice view. And the prices were fair as well.
