La Lanterna

Super reataurant in amazing place. Makes feel like in Italian vacation. Super food , super workers!!! :)

First off, let me begin with the small and quite unfriendly entrance! In which we had to wait 10 minutes for our reserved table. Once we had been sat down, on this small table with a cold wind everytime the door opened, the waiter immediately expected from us to tell him what we would like to eat as starters. I mean, c'mon, we just sat down 1 minute ago. He even was ill tempered when we responded with the question to see the menu. After a bit of hassle, 1 waiter came up to take our orders, whilst we were calling it out he interrupted us with an advisory plate. Before any of us really had decided he took it as a done deal and went to arrange the dish. Since they took the menu's rather quick after, we were just in awe/doubt to see what we would get. Eventually, after about.. 30/45 minutes, we had 3 plates which contained fish and a small portion of meats. 2 plates fish, and 1 plate with small meat ( 3 types ). Since 2 of the company of 4 didn't like fish, the dish was quite dissappointing. The taste of the given dishes was rather enjoyable though! It would have been nice to know though, that this particular dish was going to cost us €75,- Well.. starters done, up to the main dish.. which, well, we had to wait another 1,5 hour for to get. That's just amazing right? Since they had so much time to prepare the main dishes, you'd think it was to be perfect... right?? Well.. think again, they weren't. Main 1 and 3; chicken with massala sauce, chicken had a "glassy" texture.. it tasted very neutral, no flavouring at all. Main 2; entrecote with gorgonzola sauce, i mean.. it was nice.. I ordered this, however.. when you want medium/raw, and you get the steak like.. fresh from the butcher rare..after 1,5 hour? Something is wrong there. Main 4; steak dish, no comment, was good according to friend who ordered this. With all of this, you'd expect some garnishes whom lift the mains up, but.. we had a DAMN plate with, raw cauliflower, watery broccoli and rather well tasting jagged potato's. We didn't even make it to the desserts as we had lost all trust.. but mostly all time in that evening. We went home rather dissapointed and with empty wallets. In total we were billed a staggering €256,75.. wonderfull.. not. My advice.. avoid this establishment, but if you go, avoid the advisory waiters and take your time to explore the menu. Also plan your entire evening for a dinner here..

Large and extensive menu with a lot of choice. Well priced considering how large the portions were. Their gnocchis are some of the best I’ve had in the Netherlands so far. Service was fast and friendly. Would highly recommend this restaurant!!

The Food was soooo good and tasty. We went there two times in 5 days. The workers are really frindly. Thanks so much .

I ordered it twice, all food great and one of my favorite pizza! Unfortunately both times delivery in Rijswijk was delayed more than half an hour
