Restaurants near Globe Wireless Receiving Station

The cocktails and food were very creative. The wine list is exclusively, unapologetically, and properly Italian. I love my California wines, but am glad that this place is committed to Italian food and wine.

I've been to La Lanterna many times and will continue to do so whenever I visit a friend in San Mateo. The food is consistently delicious, portions are generous, and the cocktails and wine options are great. The ambiance is nice, with an upscale feel, although the vibe is relaxed and friendly. I recently learned that it's operated by a family, which I value and appreciate. Service is great, and we never feel rushed, which isn't the norm nowadays. A big thanks to the family who works hard to provide an excellent dining experience!

Lasagna was fantastic. Not something I would usually order but it looked interesting on the adjacent table. Large helping was sitting in delicious sauce with sausage and cheese. Really outstanding taste. The stuffed pork chop was tender and juicy, cooked just right, surrounded with vegetables and mashed potatoes. Vegetables were crisp, not overcooked. Dessert was the lemon parfait, a mountain of sweet meringue on top of tart lemon sorbet for a tasty combination of sweet and tart tastes. The tables were spaced nicely so we didn’t feel cramped and the servers were all pleasant and attentive. Just a great dining experience.

Our server was wonderful, fun and very personable. The food was fresh and really good. The only reason for a 4-star rating on ambience was that the entrance from the back of the restaurant (handicapped parking for my 83 y/o mother) and the restroom could use a little cleaning. Other than that, a very fun evening and great menu options for everyone, including vegetarians!

The food here was delicious and home made. Highly recommend
