La Lanterna Ristorante

The best place in Edinburgh to enjoy traditional Italian cooking and hospitality. Toni runs a wonderful restaurant with an excellent chef and efficient, helpful and friendly staff. I have been a very satisfied customer for 20 years

Went for lunch at this restaurant March 2009. The waiting staff were very nice, polite and welcoming but I'm afraid I thought the food was not of a good standard at all. The sauces which were used in their pasta dishes tasted like something out of a jar and full of preservatives. The garlic bread was dried up and stale-like, certainly not fresh!

The prices are what you would expect for a lunch time menu, but I have been in other places which have better quality food and is far better value for your money.

The whole place really needs re-decorated especially the toilets! I think one toilet (per gender) for the size of that restaurant is not enough, and it could be quite dangerous walking through the passageway past the kitchen area. Overall the place looks quite grubby.

Had meal there with friends on 9th August on recommendation of another friend.We were at the Tattoo for the week-end. Found it very good, friendly, efficient. Would recommend to anyone. Everything just right, liked it so much, went again in the 11th. Great place, food and people.

Lost count of our visits. The Lasagne is the best we have tasted and always cooked to order. House wine is good too. Consistent efficient and friendly service.
