La Lanterna di Vittorio

Established in 1977. The second restaurant established by Carlo and Marissa Antonini in the late 70s, La Lanterna was one of the first real Italian Cafes in Greenwich Village. Under the management of Vittorio Antonini since the mid 80s, La Lanterna has evolved from a cafe serving largely coffee and dessert into the full service restaurant and Jazz Club that it is today. Stop by to visit Marisa, Vittorio, or Vittorio Jr 7 days a week. We love to meet and chat with our customers, old and new, and always strive to make you feel at home in our family's dining room.
