La Lanterna In Vitorchiano

Excellent food, friendly staff and quick service.

Delicious food, patient and attentive service, I recommend :)

For a last-minute midweek summer evening with friends, we decided to come to this restaurant, determined to try their pizzas. Parking wasn't easy; it's in an alley, so you have to leave your car as close to the road as possible, but you'll most likely have to walk a few minutes. They seated us in a beautiful, well-kept and atmospheric garden—truly pleasant. We started with a trio of truly delicious fried pizzas. Next, I tried a Vicolo S. Antonio, with a Vitorchiano-style sauce, which has a lovely garlic base, grilled sausages, and fennel. Served pre-cut. Quality ingredients! I loved it, but I couldn't finish it. Personally, it was a bit heavy, unfortunately, probably due to the rich sauce. The dough was very good!

Fantastic pizza with well-leavened dough and very digestible. The ingredients are also very good and refined; I don't recommend just getting a Margherita. They also have a completely vegetarian pizza, which is very good.

A truly wonderful experience! The setting is idyllic, just what you'd expect when you come to Italy. The food is homemade and of excellent quality! The staff is very pleasant. It's a must-do when you come to Vitorchiano!

While the overall experience was meh, ok, the time it took for our order to be delivered was very poor. Once we were seated, it took about 10 minutes to get our table. 25 min to place our order and a whopping 90 minutes from placing the order to the meals being delivered to our table. We were seated outside, so by the time our meals arrived, it was nightfall. Consistently had to ask for water to be refilled Wait staff ignored our request for table service. We saw other patrons getting their meals before us. Servizio, terrible & slow, slow, slow. Pizza arrived tepid, so by the time it reached our table it was beginning to cool. This restaurant came highly rated, it was anything but. Price was fair for what we paid, but there is nothing here that would compel me to return. A disappointing visit to an otherwise excellent day.

Lovely restaurant, right beside the medieval part of town with good views of the city. The food, wine and service were very good with a wide selection of interesting options.

We booked during the #PeperinoinFiore2025 party and ate in their garden, which enjoys a beautiful view of the walls of Vitorchiano that blend in with houses and peperino. The environment, the quality of the food served and the helpfulness and kindness of your staff did the rest. Our choice included pappardelle, characteristic cavatelli, excellent free-range chicken as well as desserts. Average quality/price. They have provisions for celiacs. They accept dogs. Correct to book.

The restaurant is very nice, we had lunch in the garden in the shade of the umbrellas, it's very nice. Even in case of light rain the umbrellas offer excellent shelter without having to go to the internal room. The food is good especially the bread they make, it's a real drug, with the platter of cold cuts it's an excellent combination. Even the pappardelle with wild boar were a good choice, both the workmanship and the cooking of the pasta were perfect, not to mention the taste of the sauce obviously cleaned with bread. The garden is inhabited by some very sociable and non-invasive cats, but they frame the garden. The only flaw found: half of the lunch menu is not available, the pizza and fried food part cannot be ordered, without any written notice on the menu or on delivery of the same, you only find out when you order from the waiter, which is not nice because you choose and maybe your mouth waters for something and then it is not orderable, so you have to fall back on something else on the fly.

Excellent food and good service. Delightful environment. Thanks for everything.
