La Lanterna Cafe & Grill

Celiac Annie and I arrived on a recent Saturday evening for dinner. There was a very slight pause before being seated as the hostess (owner?) was reading off the specials in detail. It was packed and I'd highly recommend reservations (limited hours) for the weekends. We had the burrata special for appetizer followed by the white clam sauce with gluten free linguini and shrimp scampi with linguini. We've been to most of the surrounding restaurants and we seriously blown away by the quality and taste of the food. Our waiter was highly attentive and the fact that is was BYOB was a huge plus. We both cannot wait to return. Most restaurants with gluten free options usually offer only gluten free rigatoni. We loved that they had gluten free pasta to match the original dish.

Haven't been here in a long time, and was disappointed. We requested a specific table and was told that afternoon that we could have it, but when we arrived it was given to someone else (even though we were early for our reservation), and I got a bit of a lecture from the hostess that I have to reserve that way in advance. I order salmon cooked through (well done) and it was very rare. I sent it back and when I got it back it was horrible and dried out. The waitress then lectured me about well done salmon. Nonsense. My husband LOVED his gluten free pasta with puttanesca sauce, although it was a very small portion.
