La Lanterna di Vittorio is a cafe and pizzeria at 129 MacDougal Street, Greenwich Village, New York City. The restaurant is situated in a restored townhouse and serves Italian cuisine.[1] It is noted for its Bar Next Door room in the basement which hosts regular live jazz and rock performances.[2][3] The basement is characterized by "low ceilings, and exposed brick and romantic lighting".[1][4] In 2007, Jazz Education Journal referred to it as "One of NYC's great secrets for a first-class jazz experience."[5] The Jonathan Kreisberg Trio are regular performers at the clubs on Wednesdays.[6]
