Lanterna Restaurant
Bolabog Street, Balabag, Philippines
Lanterna is a small, family-run Italian restaurant set in a garden villa away from the busiest beachfront paths. Chef Luigi Barbolla makes pasta and bread in-house, with a menu that favours carefully handled ingredients and familiar Italian dishes. The veranda gives a meal an unhurried, domestic feel, while an air-conditioned section offers an alternative on humid evenings. Choose it for a quieter dinner and reserve ahead, especially if you have a particular seating preference.
