    Booked through Open Table for a very special occasion and the restaurant was CLOSED. Had a half hearted apology from Open Table which in no way makes up for the massive disappointment.

    Despite booking the night before and receiving email confirmation from Open Table, I arrived to find the restaurant locked up. How can it be taking bookings if it is closed? Horrendous experience as I then had to look for somewhere else to take my guest for lunch. WHAT A FARCE!!! Would give it ZERO stars if that were possible.

    From the outside looking in La Lanterna is a wholesome family restaurant. Unfortunately that was as close as we got considering it was closed. Thanks for the heads up :)

    It was closed and no notice of this was on the website or an answer phone. No bookings should have been taken by this site or restaurant

    Reserved a table with friends for a reunion - not seen one another for a long while. Arrived at the restaurant to find it was 'Closed' with no apology or explanation. We managed to get a table in A restaurant nearby. Very disappointed with La Lanterna. I gather this restaurant has changed management over the last year or two. Not a patch on what this restaurant used to be with a great reputation. Such a pity to see this venue go downhill. This is the second time I have been disappointed here, and will definitely not be returning.

    I chose this restaurant for a dinner with friends. After reading the reviews I was impressed and certain I made the right choice. The food was good for the price. Nothing extraordinary, but good. My portion was large. My partner and our friend's portions were smaller. But that was acceptable, since we opted for the dinner menu that included 1 starter, 1 main and 1 dessert for £18 per person. Surprisingly, the bill didn't reflect that. They've tried to charge us £20 more. The bill was just a handwritten paper with some digits on it, without even specify where that total amount came from. We complained, and they took the £20 extra from it without even arguing (they knew they were wrong). They probably thought we were tourists and tried to ripe us off. After this experience, I'm not planning to go there ever again.
