Definitely not up to the task - Edit
Every time we have to write a bad review about a fully vegan business our heart bleeds, but fair is fair.
Read moreThe food here is just no good and the very ingredients are low quality.
We had the radicchio gnocchi, which were undercooked, didn't taste like radicchio and were extremely salty. If someone fed them to you blindfolded, you wouldn't know what you are eating (ultimate proof of bad food).
We also had the seitan tortellini. They looked and tasted like store-bought tortellini. The "sauce" had olives and artichoke. The olives seemed straight out of the tin and we had to look very hard to find the artichoke. Regardless, it tasted like plain salt.
Finally, we decided to try a slice of white chocolate cake. It was advertised as made by a pastry chef, but we were faced by a slice half as big as any normal serving and which tasted "stiff" like store-bought mass produced cakes.
Nothing in our experience justified the price paid. We can't fathom how people could find this food any good.
Regardless, also the "vibe" was off. First, the waitress, although not rude by any means, seemed disappointed that we had ordered only a first course each. Secondly, an worse, the person who handles the dishes with the food had a very long and ungroomed beard and hair, which is not hygienic in a restaurant. Not what you expect in a restaurant that's advertised as high-end (and priced as such).
Again we are very heartbroken, but it's not fair to praise something just because it's vegan and it's not fair to businesses that really deserve praise. A job should be well done.
Pros: Decoration of the place
Cons: Food, Overpriced, Hygiene of person handling dishes

Average Restaurant - Edit
Having read a lot of these reviews I expected a lot. Staff were blunt and not hugely accommodating. Food was ok but too salty and also cold. Genuinely feel like this is a Jekyll and Hyde place, either great or very average.
Read morePros: Nice location , Reasonable choice , Nice interior
Cons: Salty, Quite expensive for what's on offer, Nothing special & terrible music

Really bad Italian kitchen - Edit
I came to the restaurant because they have typical italian kitchen. The stuff is really friendly. First we get bread which tasted like stale bread. The zucchini Flowers stuffed with Cicerchie Mousse with rocket pesto was disappointing. The pesto was so bitter that it was inedible. The Carbonara was the worst I have ever eaten and the Basil Gnocchi were undercooked.
Read moreMaybe they kitchen had a bad day…
I also didn't like the atmosphere.

Very tasty vegan food - Edit
We had a very good dinner in La Lanterna. One of our antipasti dishes was not seasoned enough, and unfortunately, the zucchini was undercooked. Additionally, the portion was a bit small in relation to the price. However, the main course was excellent. We had two pasta dishes, and they fully convinced us. The seitan in both dishes was very good! We also enjoyed the dessert, and the wines we chose to accompany the meal paired perfectly with the dishes. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Feeling of authentic Italian food - Edit
Loved this place. Tucked away near the river. Staff were lovely. Pasta courses were excellent and a great tiramisu to finish. Check out their sister place Magnolia for pastries too.

Perfetto!!! - Edit
I was excited to try this place and had the best food! Felt so bad that I got anxious and didn’t speak Italian too well, but the staff was friendly & helpful. I had the pizza steaks along with a pistachio cake. Both were amazing! The cake melts in your mouth and has an amazing flavor. The seitan steaks were cooked well and the grilled veggies on the side were a great touch. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!!!

Molto buono ma migliorabile - Edit
Ristorante Vegano storico a Verona, nel bellissimo quartiere di San Zeno. Ci sono stata un paio di volte, la scelta è ottima e il cibo è buono ma non mi ha entusiasmato. È comunque ottimo che ci sia questo ristorante a Verona, ci tornerò sicuramente per provare altre cose nel menù!

Delicious pasta and dessert - Edit
Several days later, I'm still thinking about the carbonara I had at La Lanterna. It was fantastic, exactly what I'd been hoping for!
Read moreFirst of all though we ordered bruschetta, which I did not enjoy much. The bread was a bit too lightly toasted for my liking, yet at the same time it smelt like it was burnt (it didn't taste it, but whenever I raised it for a bite that was all I could smell). The tomatoes were really fresh and tasty, but the dish was a bit under seasoned for me, I would have loved more salt, garlic, and oil. I was a bit surprised that it was served with a pot of guacamole as well - not sure how those two elements go together.
The carbonara got things on track though. I was worried it might be quite a small portion because it was about the same price as the bruschetta, but it was fine. The sauce was really creamy and flavoursome, and the meaty strips were savoury and delicious. My mum tried the basil and potato gnocchi, and was a big fan. She loved the basil flavour running through the gnocchi and the crunch from the almonds, and thought the tomatoes were really light and refreshing.
For dessert I ordered the special panna cotta, which was basically a cheesecake in my opinion - a thin biscuit base, a cream layer, some chocolate piped on top, raspberry coulis and some nice chocolate work around the sides and top. I love a rich, chocolatey dessert so it was absolutely perfect for me. My mum tried the lemon tart and raved about it too. She found the pastry really fine and not soggy at all, and the lemon was really tart and refreshing, just as she wanted. The dessert menu is quite long and everything looked amazing!

Please avoid. Microwaved food. - Edit
I’m not sure how this place is rated so highly. My wife and I went and the food was hot on the outside and cold inside like it had been microwaved.
