I saw this restaurant had a great rating and was in a neat town so I checked it out. The first thing we get is complimentary bruschetta. Are you kidding? That's already worth 5 stars and it only gets better! There was a large selection of beverages including Italian beer. The menu was great for a full meal or a light lunch. Having been to Italy this is the only "authentic" Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at in North America that deserves that title. All of the food was fresh and tasted delicious. You cannot buy the food that was served in city grocery stores. The prosciutto was not overly salty and had proper texture, the boccocini tasted fresh and was not over powering, and the fenel in the sausage was well balanced, enhancing the flavour instead of destroying it. The canolies we're fantastic, the best I have ever eaten. The shells were crisp and and foavourful, and the filling was very fresh and not too rich. I highly recommend visiting Lanterna Ristorante North even if it is a bit out of your way, it is worth the drive. Can't wait to go back!

The town is famous for its elegance and stunning scenery. After wandering around the beautiful town, we wanted to find a place with great service and food for lunch. When we arrived, I saw a small shop that also sold Italian groceries. There are only few tables, but the friendly service of the young man made us comfortable. It turned out that the research was correct. Not only was I not disappointed, but I was surprised to find that they used high-quality materials and reasonable prices. Like other customers, I have to give them high praise. The Caesar salad was moderately seasoned. The two of us had little appetite and ordered a plate of pasta to share. Not only did they not dislike it, they also took good care of us and divided it into two plates. I didn’t expect that a small place would be so good! But we soon knew that they deserved the name, because we saw a constant flow of takeout customers while dining, and the restaurant was soon full.

I would have given a Zero Star if possible. Had terrible experience at this restaurant. On May 19, 2024, at around 1.30pm, our group of 7 people and 1 kid reached the restaurant and we are just parking in the front, when one of the servers/restaurant guy puts a sign on the door saying 'Today - Take out only' while there are people already dining inside and points a middle finger to us. Till now we have not even stepped down from our vehicles. Considering we didn't want to have terrible experience, we left from the place without even going inside. Luckily, in just an hour time (2.35pm), we happened to cross by in front of the restaurant and they had that sign removed and for them it was business as usual. People like this brings negativity and terrible customer service to restaurants. This is a genuine review and would have given them Zero starts if possible coz these restaurants doesn't deserve to be in business. Horrible behavior, would never ever come to this type of restaurant.

Decided to eat here based on reviews and we were not disappointed. The penne arrabbiata with chicken parmigiana had a flavourful authentic taste. My wife found the spaghetti bolognese with grilled chicken heavy on parmesan, but the menu warns you that most meals come with parmesan. The garlic bread needed slightly longer on the toaster. The strawberry shortcake which the manager did not charge us for was light, fresh and a perfect dessert to end a great meal. The manager had no reason to offer us a free desert. Plus the complimentary bruschetta was a very appetizing starter. Service was great. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic! This is my first time here and I came for the breakfast buffet, I came with high expectations and was not disappointed! From the eggs Benedict to the fried ones, all was made fresh and was tasty. I had an amazing cappuccino, some lovely French toast, and more! Oh , the cannoli and the Tiramisu was to die for. Congratulations to an amazing team. The waitress was attentive, detailed and kind. You can tell she loves what she does, it truly makes all the difference. When you come to Lanterna, you're welcomed like family. I'll definitely be back here for dinner.
