"Ensconced in a Federal style townhouse dating to 1828, La Lanterna is one of those old coffee houses that line MacDougal, where you might expect to see Bob Dylan sitting by the fireplace smoking a cigarette. The provender is strictly Italian, with lasagne options that emerge bubbling, brown, and cheesy. The fireplace is in the main dining room betwixt bar and enclosed backyard — which is down a few steps and where the eponymous lanterns hang." - Eater Staff
