Head to Antica Hostaria della Lanterna for a traditional, family-run Milan dinner. Order classic Italian dishes in a lively, crowded room and take your time over a long, unhurried meal.

📖

Full description

Antica Hostaria della Lanterna is a mid-range Italian restaurant that locals and visitors use for traditional cooking at fair prices. Reviewers describe a crowded, family-run room where a single waiter, apparently the owner, juggles the whole service, so dishes can take a while to arrive when it is packed.

Opinions on the food are split, with some enjoying authentic, good dishes and others disappointed by the pasta and wine, which makes it a place to approach with realistic expectations. It stays open late in the evening, suiting couples who want a no-frills dinner.

Reviews

Fairly priced authentic italian food. The place was crowded and the waiter - which I suppose is also the owner - was managing everything by himself, so it was a bit messy and it took a while, but in the end it was worth it! Definitely recommend.
