Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 8 and Version 7 of La Lanterna, SE1 2BA

Reasonably-priced and good quality Italian restaurant on Mill Street, near Shad Thames, not far from Tower Bridge.

Juliet has never had a problem getting a table for two, even on a Friday night, but it's usually reasonably busy.

The food is good although not spectacular. Decent selection of vegetarian and vegan options (of the pizza/pasta variety - they're happy to produce pizza without cheese). I believe they also have a secondi menu with meat stuff on but have never paid attention to it. Pete thought the minestrone was technically a bit salty (though we both liked it, because we like salty things). Cheese & mushroom ravioli was good, as was the veggie pizza. Good wine selection, and the waiters are friendly.

There seems to be a special offer for booking a table through the website (March 2008).

Getting here: To get from Shad Thames to Mill St without going all the way up to the Jamaica Rd, there is a footbridge over the canal by the edge of the river.
