About La Lanterna

Our family is back in Capitol Park where it all began in 1956. Featuring a brick oven pizza, full bar, beer and wine. We have a 12 seat marble bar, casual yet trendy dining. Located on the first floor of the Albert building, the new La Lanterna will debut with daily dinner service and a menu of Neapolitan-style brick oven pizzas, salads, paninis, pastas and other classic Italian entrees. A full bar, anchored by a selection of affordable wines from California and Italy, will also be available.

Pizza places in the United States run from a counter with two stools and a stack of boxes to a full sit-down pizzeria with a bar, and most neighborhood shops do all three things at once: dine-in, takeout and delivery. Ordering by phone is still common and often faster than an app, and many independents charge less when you call direct because there is no platform fee. Sizes are usually listed in inches (a small around 10", a large 14", an extra-large 16" or more), and a large feeds two to three adults. Slices are sold from a display case at New York-style counters and reheated to order; whole pies take 15-25 minutes at a busy shop. Most spots take cards and mobile pay, though a few older pizzerias remain cash-only, so check the door or the listing before you order.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 12–9 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach La Lanterna at (313) 962-8821; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, lalanternadetroit.com.

Been twice, both times I enjoyed myself immensely. House made pasta 10/10 Best espresso martini I've ever had. Period Sat at the bar both visits and the bartender is lovely attentive and makes sure everyone at the bar is having a good time. Worth the 90 minute drive every time. ❀️ Until next time ill be dreaming of the food. 🀀🀀🀀

This place is amazing. Totally made our visit to Detroit memorable. Sat at the bar for dinner. Fun time with great service. Try the Calamari Arrabbiata. It’s a little spicy but so delicious. If you cannot figure out what to have get the Tris Di Pasta for a sample of three dishes. Loved it. Atmospheres is laid back and it is not a big restaurant, so plan accordingly. Highly recommend!

Have no idea how this place isn’t rated 5 stars! The food is incredible, staff is so friendly and down to earth and the vibe and energy is easy going and authentic. We sat at the bar and we loved everything … we stayed with the melon and prosciutto, and moved to the sautΓ©ed and spinach with sausage and white beans (which is drool worthy) and ended with the chicken parm β€”one of the best we’ve ever had. Dont hesitate… go!

The staff was able to accommodate our party of seven over the phone even though they said they didn’t take reservations! The food was amazing and didn’t take long to come out. The environment could have been better; it’s a pretty crowded and narrow restaurant. I don’t think they usually do big groups because the tables are quite small as well. It might be the time we went, but it was quite loud and hard to speak to one another as well. Overall, great staff, great food, the restaurant and environment itself could use a little work!

Not even sure how to describe this meal besides, beyond amazing! For my next international trip, it clearly needs to be Northern Italy if this is what I can expect. The rosemary fries really hit the spot for that craving I was having and was an unexpected surprise at an Italian restaurant. The pasta was perfectly cooked. The white cream sauce was devine. ❀️ I'll dream about this for months. I don't recall the name, but shared the pic with this review. My friend is vegetarian and the bartender was able to point out all the items that were already vegetarian or could be modified. She said her pasta was really good, as well. We sat at the bar and the bartender was great! He was so funny and personable! The cocktails were sooo good and the menu had more options I wanted than I could try in one visit. I cannot wait to return! Maybe I'll save room for dessert next time, lol.
