Lanterna Hotel Boracay

We had an amazing dinner at this charming little restaurant in Boracay. The Italian cuisine was truly outstanding—perfectly cooked pasta and fish that delivered exceptional flavor. The gelato was authentic and delicious. And don’t miss the focaccia—it’s a must-try. Highly recommend!

Been here multiple times and just enjoying everything. The food has fresh ingredients and is as authentic as it can be. The wine selection is fantastic and the overall experience is just great. A true gem in Boracay - absolutely recommended!

A hidden gem restaurant that serves Italian food. It's quite deep into the side streets from the main road, so don't get too weary should you not see it immediately. The detour is definitely worth it as they serve one of the best Italian food on the island. It's a hidden gem, there were only two parties eating in the restaurant when we went there for dinner. Everything we had was great. (Will include photos in the reviews since I forgot what exactly they were called.) TLDR: Pros: Really good italian food, A Must Visit, Very Peaceful and Chill Cons: It's a detour from the main white beach area. Walk wasn't so bad though.

We had an amazing experience In this Restaurant. The hype is definitely real. Everything was excellent. Pastas are freshly made. So Happy we made Our Reservation for NYE dinner Very early. Book in advance as they have limited seating. Dont Miss this resto when in Boracay. Must be top 3 best restos on tje island. I Will definitely be back.

The best Italian restaurant in Boracay. Love the carpaccio and the pastas. Place is so cozy and chill. I like the mattresses; you can slouch and chill with your red wine while listening to soft music and the sounds of the wilds

This is a hard-to-find place. It doesn’t have its own facade and the facade you see is that of a dilapidated build smacked with political posters. Lanterna has a small path just off the road and this short path leads to a garden and the restaurant as well a s the hotel. You have the choice of seating in a normal table or a Japanese-style low table where you need to squat. My family chose the latter. We started with Gambereti which was excellent. My son had the ravioli a la carne, my wife had the pan-fried mahi-mahi with mango sauce while I had the pan-fried tuna with mashed potato. All the dishes were very good and inspired by Italian cuisine. Apparently the owner is Italian - I may be mistaken, but the dishes were very good, What made it even better was we started with a refreshing Parlez Vous Sauvignon Blanc and capping the main dishes with Why Not? This red wine is from the Puglia region of Italy and is a combination of Zinfandel, primitive and negroamaro grapes. Both wines were very good and inexpensive. Lanterna is definitely a place we will go back to.
