Top 5 Best Date Hot Spots: La Lanterna di Vittorio
"In our opinion, it's impossible to have a bad date when you're enjoying dinner next to a gorgeous waterfall. This fact is just one of the many reasons why we chose La Lanterna di Vittorio as one of our Top 5 Best Date Hot Spots in NYC.

With magical elements like an on-site waterfall and year-round seating in a lovely winter garden, La Lanterna di Vittorio is undoubtedly among the city's most romantic dining destinations. If you're hoping to ignite sparks after just one dinner alone, give this Greenwich Village gem a shot.

A warm, colorful décor and a glass ceiling covered in mystical vine add to the restaurant's enchanting ambiance. Plus, reasonable prices make the experience that much more gratifying.

Cozy up at a cute table and share savory mozzarella-layered pizzas (try the Pizza con Cipolla e Caprino or Pizza con Caprino e Rucola, $12.50) or other deliciously comforting Italian specialties (may we suggest the pesto lasagna, at $12.99?), while exchanging words by candlelight. Feel free to consult your server, as they are known for their enthusiasm to recommend must-try chef specialties.

For dessert, the pumpkin cognac cheesecake ($5.99) is sure to leave you and your date smiling with satisfaction as your dinner concludes."

“There are dozens, if not hundreds of Italian cafes in New York. With so many fabulous ones strewn throughout the city, it would be virtually impossible to choose the best. La Lanterna, however, is markedly different because of its very romantic appeal.
