La Lanterna

It was truly an enjoyable meal. We didn’t have a reservation, but thanks to arriving early we were able to get a table. When we asked for a wine recommendation, they kindly let us taste it first. The food and wine were excellent, the staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was great. The tiramisu was amazing. Highly recommended!

Undoubtedly 5-star! This restaurant is by far the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in the UK. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The place was buzzing with people, so making a reservation is highly recommended.

What a great find hidden just a few steps from the station. Buzz through the door and down the stairs into an extraordinary restaurant. Great staff good food excellent dining .make it a stop when you visit Glasgow

Called in for an off the cuff lunch date requested by my wife. They were able seat us with no issue and we ordered from the lunch menu which was a starter & main for £20 each. The restaurant is very artfully decorated with an Italian theme throughout. Starters were Pate & Bruschetta Mains Chicken Escalope & pasta with pancetta Unfortunately my chicken was overcooked but was replaced with Fettuccine with salmon wh8ch was superb. Overall, 2 lunches with 2 rounds of drink came to just under £70.

I had heard so many great things about this place, and I was excited to finally try it. Let me start by saying—the food was spectacular. Beautifully seasoned with a light, creamy sauce Ravioli, the dish was rich in flavour yet light. I finished it quickly—not because I was rushing, but because it simply wasn’t very filling. The atmosphere of the restaurant is elegant and aesthetically pleasing, which made me look forward to a cosy solo dining experience. However, I was disappointed to be seated alone at the very back of the restaurant, in a tight spot right next to what looked like wine storage or rubbish boxes. It felt out of place, especially given the restaurant was nearly empty when I arrived around 7pm. It took away from the experience a little. After my meal, I had to wait around 10 minutes for the bill, which added to the sense that solo diners aren’t quite prioritised here. That said, the food really was a highlight, and I would return—but I hope next time the service and seating arrangement will better match the standard of the kitchen. A place with such excellent dishes deserves to offer an equally thoughtful experience.
