La Lanterna
A brick-oven Neapolitan stop tucked into Capitol Park.
NOAH’S TAKE
La Lanterna returned to the neighborhood where the family began in 1956. The current restaurant pairs Neapolitan-style brick-oven pizzas with pasta, panini, a marble bar, and the easy energy of Capitol Park.
THE MOVENEAPOLITAN
Make the brick-oven pizza the center of the order, then use the bar and the rest of the Italian menu to turn it into a full dinner.
GO HERE WHEN
You want a sit-down pizza night downtown with wine and classic Italian options around it.
MAYBE NOT WHEN
You are chasing a thick square or a fast counter slice.
