La Lanterna by Franco Seccarelli

The walk into the restaurant is magical. The staff greeted us with that 5 star service you would expect. Our sever Hanabal was knowledgeable and attentive. The food was amazing. So delicious I didn't want it to end. The cocktails were perfectly balanced. I give this restaurant 5 Stars all day.

Absolutely wonderful, from start to finish! My cousin and I stopped in the bar while our husbands ran an errand, and we had a delightful time with the bartenders as they created their amazing libations. They were so nice and full of stories. The evening continued as we were seated for dinner. The entire place is beautifully laid out, yet you get an impression of coziness. I wasn't particularly hungry, so only had a Caprese salad, but the mains of my companions were phenomenal. My husband had one of the daily specials, grilled branzino. It was perfectly cooked and flavorful. My cousin had the other special, halibut in a tomato caper sauce. Her husband had the lamb meatballs, which he consumed with gusto. We all shared a starter of pasta with a truffe sauce - Holy cow, it was amazing! The bread was fresh and a great accompaniment. We split our desserts, basil panna cotta and chocolate soufflé with vanilla ice cream. Our servers were attentive but not overbearing. So, so good - very happy we stumbled in!

Amazing place. Quiet, sedate atmosphere, Amazing food, great service. In the heart of Old San Juan. What's not to like? Would go again in a heartbeat.

Enchanting atmosphere, phenomenal service, exceptional food and drinks. Not many places deserve 5 stars but this one has earned it.

In my opinion La laterna could be one of the nicest places restaurants in San Juan, perfect atmosphere to a romantic date, kinda dark with beautiful architecture, sculptures and plants who makes you feel connected with the atmosphere. My real opinion about food is 10/10 , so delicious and perfect cook. Manager is really kind and makes you feel comfortable.i ordered fetuchini with truffles it was amazing.

I came with my girlfriend with plans of a romantic night for us after a long week. As romantic as the scenery was, our service was very underwhelming. We felt very isolated as many staff continued to serve all other tables around us and implying our presence wasn’t valued. The food was great, but it was hard to over look the amount of time we spent waiting for someone to take our drink order, entree order, and provide us a check. Unfortunately I don’t feel welcomed to return.

This place was amazing. We were walking through old San Juan and found this place I was starting to get tired and hungry and they sat us immediately without having to have any reservation even though they were booked for the night. Our servers were great and explained everything to us. The food was excellent. For desert I got the house favorite the Chocolate soufflé and also tried their apple tart desert I’m not sure what it was called but it looked amazing.

For sure is one of the best restaurants 👌🏽 in PR 🇵🇷 The old fashioned vibe is marvelous. This place is when you want to letting know your love ❤️ friends or parents that you take that time 🫶🏼 so they can have a good foodie time. Recommendations is very easy get everything! At least you must get the house cocktail 🍸 expresso vanilla martini. ¡ Enjoy !
