Great vegan Italian food

Original items, great flavors, friendly service. Starters and mains were great. So was the wine, didn't try the deserts but they looked yummy too.

Italian but vegan and organic

La Laterna in Verona is a gem for vegan diners. They offer delicious Italian food using only seasonal, organic ingredients. The cosy, rustic atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. It's impressive to find such authentic Italian flavors in a vegan restaurant. Highly recommended!

Pros: Good atmosphere, Local, seasonal food, Budget friendly

Worth its fame

This is a fine dining restaurant. No special lunch menu available. Note that even if you ask for still water it'll be bottled and not from a tap.
I had the tempeh and lemon cake dessert.
Tempeh is excellent. Cake taste was a bit off.

Pros: Taste

Cons: Price

Rich, generous, flavourful food

We went here without reservation, therefore there was only a table available for 75 minutes. We chose to only order primi and dessert. We had a pasta carbonara, which had a very rich creamy sauce, made less heavy by tiny airbubbles, on the salty side but nicely fitting the dish. This was what I was hoping for in a carbonara.
Also, we had a stuffed pasta with a filling of smokey seitan, lightly sweet, sour and salty and very well balanced. The dominant taste and consistency of the pasta was nicely complemented by light/juicy cubes of zucchini.

We ordered the small portion of the pasta, nevertheless it was quite heavy/filling so we decided to skip secondi. We finished by sharing two desserts; the pistachio tiramisu and a hazelnut cream pie.
The tiramisu was quite heavy on the pistachio cream, which caused the cookies (with less prominent flavour) to disappear a bit.
The hazelnut pie was exquisite. Sweet, creamy, hazelnutty filling with a very crispy crust.

The food was good, the portions generous and the service very quick. We could have had three courses in 75 minutes if we wanted. Definitely recommended, also just for one or two courses in little time.

A place to come back

We really hope to visit Verona again, and if we do, we will for sure eat in this restaurant again.

They have so many dishes, and everything we tried was very nice.

Our favourites this time were the "FRIED DUMP WITH VEGETABLE SLICES AND CREAMY VEGETABLE CHEESE" (appetizer) and the "PEASANT'S FENNEL" (side dish). They had so many more things that we wanted to try, but we were truly full (we couldn't even try a dessert).

Pros: So many options, Tasty food

Seriously incredible

This place has been open for 10 years, one of the first vegan restaurants and now opening the first vegan pasticceria. We had 2 primo and 1 secondo and 3 deserts and everything was so delicious, creative, and an interesting twist on traditional Italian cuisine. Honestly for being organic, in the center of Verona and so exquisite, the price is so honest. 120% recommended, don't miss this incredible dining experience when in Verona!

Verone’s vegan light

I had a nice time, eating "plin" stuffed pasta with smoked seitan and zucchini which were alldente.
For dessert I had a dark chocolate cake which I really appreciated.
The vibe is really nice. Everyone there seamed to have enjoyed their meal too.

Pros: Nice staff, Great meals

Big recommendation!

This is one of the best vegan restaurants I have had the pleasure to dine in. The desserts, in particular, are spectacular.

Ottima esperienza

Molta varietà di pietanze e diverse opzioni gluten-free (compreso il pane). Ho assaggiato Sushi di verza, arrosto di lupino e una cheesecake ai frutti di bosco. Tutto molto buono!

Amazing evening

The food is delicious, the menu deep enough and balanced, the prices are fair and the staff is friendly, fast and honestly treats you like you're paying twice what you actually do.
If I had to pick things to improve it'd be to add a variety tasting option for antipasti and secundi the way they have it for primi piatti. Or have their menu website redone - the language selection is either broken or the translation very incomplete. But these are so tangential to a good dining experience that I'm more than happy to give full 5 stars.

Pros: Great food, Nice menu, Friendly staff

Great food, nice atmosphere and very friendly employees

I went to this restaurant last summer and just realized I could write a review. The atmosphere was very nice, combined with delicious food and very friendly people. Really enjoyed it and will definitely come here again when I am in Italy next time!

Excellent restaurant

Visited La Lanterna twice in the last week. One of the best vegetarian/vegan restaurants we've visited anywhere. Quality food, a wide but not too extensive menu, pleasant ambience in a nicely-decorated dining area and helpful staff. Oh, and very reasonable prices. We are vegetarian so cannot really comment from a vegan perspective but the menu is certainly imaginative.
The only negative we noted was the need to select dishes from a QR code scanner. Used to looking at a card menu I found this rather difficult, especially when it's not my first language, but maybe it's an age thing!
Highly recommended

Pros: Great food, Good wine list, Relaxed but efficient staff

Cons: QR code scanner needed to access the menu

Good enough

I guess I expected more fireworks from the only vegan restaurant in Verona, so I don't know if this is a fair review. The food is good, but missed a tad of oomph. Dessert was better though.
I had a healthy meal, not a mind-blowing experience, but then again, that doesn't need to happen everytime you go to dinner ;-)

Delicious vegan food

We were very lucky they seated us- the restaurant was very busy. It’s very close by of a monthly flea market (we went there on the day of said flea market). The staff was very friendly and the food super delicious. I don’t post pictures- they have an online menu with photos and all dishes look exactly like on the pictures. Don’t skip desert.

Pros: Super delicious vegan food , Friendly staff, Reasonable prices
