Lanterna Restaurant
Authentic Italian cuisine in a relaxed garden-side setting has made this homestyle restaurant a certified favourite in Boracay
Tucked along Bolabog Road, Lanterna serves as a serene sanctuary for authentic Italian home cooking on Boracay Island. Chef Luigi Barbolla delivers a soulful dining experience, crafting pasta and bread from scratch while incorporating fresh herbs from his own garden. This family-run villa offers an intimate al fresco setting that captures the essence of a private Italian home. Its dedication to layering subtle, harmonised flavours makes it a standout destination for those seeking quiet culinary excellence.
Tatler Tip
While the lush garden provides a quintessential island vibe, request a table in the newly added air-conditioned section if you prefer to dine in cool comfort during humid evenings.
Must Try
- Minestra ceci e gamberetti (chickpea soup with shrimp)
- Melanzana alla Parmigiana (eggplant, tomato and mozzarella)
- Spuntature di miaiale (low cooked pork ribs)
