As its name suggests, Lanterna is a shining light in British Italian food. The atmosphere is simple and unassuming, but this only serves to highlight the culinary expertise behind every dish served at the restaurant. The food is an authentic take on the Northern Italian food that chef-owner Giorgio Allesio grew up with in his native city of Piedmont. His team is not afraid to fuse this with the best of British to create intriguing new dishes, like a fascinating black pudding-filled ravioli, making for a unique dining experience.
