La Lanterna is a family-run Italian restaurant popular for its pizzas. The extensive choice of toppings is available in small and large most people don't even manage the small one Everything is XL here: the restaurant itself extends across two large rooms, plus a conservatory for smokers; the choice of dishes on the menu; the portions except the prices which are extremely modest. Probably the best value for money in the entire area. Unfortunately, the complimentary schnaps after each meal was only an introductory bonus when the restaurant first openened or they were plainly too busy on our last visit. Living in London, I am spoilt for choice and would probably not choose La Lanterna over any average pizza chain here. By comparison the pizzas are overloaded too much cheese, and almost every one includes meat (there are a few vegetarian choices avoid the aubergine one as this is extremely greasy!). A good alternative is the grilled sole if you like fish. This is quite heavily seasoned and more greasy than you would expect from a grilled fish but very tasty! To sum up: probably not worth a special trip, but definitely worth a try if you happen to be in the area.

We were staying in a nearby apartement on our way up to Sweden. This place was within walking…read moredistance, has a fine outdoor beer garden and good reviews. So we decided to have dinner here. Service and the owner were friendly and our dog was welcome. Choice of pizza was plenty and prices really fair. We decided on two beers, Seafood Spaghetti and the Pizza Rustica. Beer was nice and cold on this warm summer evening. The Pizza was a great deal, just about 7 Euros for a pizza with plenty of mushrooms and spicy salami. Good cheese on top as well. What brings the overall rating down though is the Seafood Spaghetti. We've been in Italy lots of times in countless restaurants, so we know what we talk about. But this Seafood Spaghetti here - besides the fact that they were a bit overcooked - did just not taste fresh. At least some ingredients must have been frozen and you can tell. Seafood Spaghetti can be a real delight, but the flavour and taste of these were just way off. All in all an ok place, just come for the Pizza.
