Padua, La Lanterna Pizzeria Ristorante has been serving up delicious,
Mediterranean-inspired dishes for more than fifty years.

The many speciality dishes on the menu are influenced by the
origins of the owner, Signor Antonio Ruggiero, who comes from Salerno in
Campania.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is very welcoming and the
staff are friendly and always delighted to describe the ingredients used in the
many tempting dishes on offer.
The menu has a wide range of antipasti, a good selection of
pasta dishes, traditional fish dishes, such as branzino and orata, and classic
meat dishes, such as filetto al pepe verde (fillet steak in a green pepper
sauce) and scaloppine al marsala (veal marsala).
The pizza oven serves up all the classics, as well as some
adventurous concoctions, on bases made in the traditional style of the city
where the pizza was born, Naples.
There is a good choice of reasonably-priced wines as well as
a selection of spirits and soft drinks.
Speciality dishes include scampi alla griglia, pacheri allo
scoglio (tube-shaped pasta with sea food) and pizza mediterraneo.

| Tagliatelle alla Lanterna |
The Best of Padua editor says: ‘My favourite pasta dish is
Tagliatelle alla Lanterna, which is tagliatelle served with prawns in a
delicious, creamy, tomato sauce, and I particularly enjoyed the local white wine
I had ordered to go with it.’
La Lanterna Pizzeria Ristorante is on the right side of
Piazza dei Signori as you look towards Palazzo del Capitano, with its elegant
Torre dell’Orologio, a tower that houses clockworks that are believed to be the
oldest still in existence in Italy.
La Lanterna is just a short walk away from Piazza dei Frutti
and Piazza delle Erbe and is also close to the Duomo.
