Osteria La Lanterna Menu Overview

Nestled in the scenic heart of Cressogno, Osteria La Lanterna serves a refined selection of traditional Italian dishes elevated with a modern twist. This carefully curated menu highlights seasonal ingredients sourced locally to bring authentic flavors with fresh creativity to your table.

Starters

Begin your dining experience with vibrant antipasti that pair delicate tastes and textures. Choose from the artichoke accented Il signor Carciofo e la pancetta, the fresh asparagus crowned with smoky trota affumicata, or the spring vegetables mingling beautifully with tender scallops in Le verdure di primavera incontrano le cappesante. For meat lovers, the Tartare di Fassona piemontese showcases expertly prepared Piedmontese beef, while the Insalata e frisella offers a crisp and refreshing salad with traditional frisella bread.

Mains

The main courses are a celebration of Italian culinary craftsmanship and local bounty. Delight in handcrafted pastas like the Spaghetto del pastificio artigianale G. Fabbri or the silky Taglierini from the same artisan producer. Seafood specialties include Bottoni allo zafferano del lago, saffron pasta pillows filled with freshwater fish, and Lavarello in cartoccio, a parcel of lake fish served with tangy belga and potatoes.

Vegetarian options shine with Gnocco di ricotta nostrana on a smooth wild herb velouté and a vibrant Mosaico di frutta e verdura, paired with a selection of Luigi Guffanti’s aged cheeses. Meat enthusiasts can indulge in the tender Tagliata di Fassona piemontese accompanied by garden vegetables and potatoes, or savor the rustic Capretto da latte slow-cooked in a traditional coccio pot. For a refined finish, try the Gamberoni in court-bouillon with a unique wild garlic mayonnaise.

Desserts

Complete your meal with exquisite desserts that blend traditional flavors with artistic flair. Savor the Il Godereccio paired with the magiostra, or the delicate Cremino alla lavanda accented by chocolate crumble. The Piramide alla ricotta comes with figs and rhum-glazed chocolate, while the Paradell della Nonna Dantina is served alongside creamy goat milk gelato. For a surprise, ask for the Dolce del giorno, a daily sweet creation showcasing seasonal ingredients.
