Best Lasagna in NYC: Which Kitchen for Which Craving

The best lasagna in NYC for most tables is La Lanterna di Vittorio at 129 MacDougal Street, which prints twelve lasagnas at $25.50 each and a $27.50 flight of four. For a shared splurge the pick is Don Angie’s Lasagna for Two at $72, and for a $38 weekday prix-fixe lunch with a lasagna among the mains it is Osteria La Baia. Menus, prices and hours below come from each restaurant’s own website, checked in October 2026.

These are verdicts on what the menus publish, not tasting scores. How these were chosen: six kitchens made the list because each prints a lasagna on its own site, and each wins the craving that its published dish, price, hours and booking rules fit best.

Which kitchen wins which craving?

Best for choice: La Lanterna di Vittorio

The menu heading reads “World Famous Lasagnas”; what it prints is twelve, every one $25.50, and every description names béchamel. They fall into three sets of four: Carne, Vegetariano, and Mare e Monti. The flight is $27.50, two dollars more than a single plate, and none of the other five menus read for this guide prints a flight. A black truffle pesto add-on is $3 on a plate and $4 on the flight.

The restaurant says it opened in 1977 in Greenwich Village. Its homepage promotes the garden and dining rooms for parties of thirteen or more and links a large-group booking page.

Best for a shared splurge: Don Angie

The menu lists Our Lasagna for Two, Italian sausage bolognese and whipped robiolina, at $72. It is a two-diner dish by name and by price, and the same kitchen’s pastas are covered in the best pasta in NYC verdict.

At 103 Greenwich Avenue the restaurant opens at 5pm Monday through Thursday and 4pm Friday through Sunday, with Friday-to-Sunday lunch from 11:30am to 2pm and a last seating of 10:30pm nightly. The online menu puts its dinner-only asterisk on the pork shoulder and the lobster, not the lasagna, but ask at booking whether the lasagna is served at lunch.

Best for a meat-heavy plate: Cafe Fiorello

The All Day Menu lists a “NEW Fiorello Lasagna” of shortrib beef, meatball and burrata at $39, the highest single-portion lasagna price printed in this guide. The restaurant at 1900 Broadway calls itself an institution across the street from Lincoln Center and “a great spot for pre-theater dining”.

Hours as of October 2026 are noon to 10pm Monday, noon to 11pm Tuesday through Thursday, noon to 11:30pm Friday, 10am to 11:30pm Saturday and 10am to 10pm Sunday. For a vegetable route, the same menu lists a butternut squash lasagna with béchamel and parmigiano in its Vegetable Antipasto Bar, which is priced three vegetables for $28.00 or five for $38.00. No separate price is printed for the squash lasagna.

Best for the “viral” lasagna: Mark’s Off Madison

The restaurant’s homepage lists “the viral Lasagne della Nonna” among Mark’s “greatest hits”. Its Fall 2026 lunch and dinner menus both print it at $38: veal, beef and pork Bolognese with béchamel and Parm. The name translates as grandmother’s lasagna.

The restaurant at 41 Madison Avenue sits just off the corner of Madison Avenue and 26th Street. Lunch runs Monday to Friday, 11:30am to 2:45pm, and dinner Monday to Saturday, 5pm to 10pm. It is the only restaurant here that is closed on Sunday nights.

Best weekday lunch: Osteria La Baia

The Prix-Fixe Lunch Menu is $38 per person, Monday to Friday, for groups of up to six. Diners select one antipasto and one secondo, and the lasagna of béchamel, Bolognese, ricotta and parmigiano reggiano is among the secondi with no supplement. The lobster fettuccine, lamb rack and filet mignon each add $30. The menu also has a dessert section, with the tiramisu marked +$16; the page does not say whether dessert is included, so confirm when booking.

The main menu at 129 West 52nd Street lists the same lasagna but shows no prices. Lunch and dinner service runs from 11:30am daily, to 11pm Monday to Thursday, midnight Friday and Saturday and 10pm Sunday.

Best outside Manhattan: Rolo’s

The dinner menu lists a “two sheet lasagna verde bolognese” under Pastas at $35, and the weekend brunch list on the same page does not include it. The menu gives the name and no ingredients, so what “verde” means on the plate is a question for the server.

Rolo’s is at 853 Onderdonk Avenue in Ridgewood, Queens. Dinner runs 5pm to 10pm Sunday through Thursday and 5pm to 11pm Friday and Saturday. Reservations are through Resy for parties of up to seven, groups of eight or more email the restaurant, and the site says tables and the bar are always set aside for walk-ins.

How much does each lasagna cost?

As of October 2026, four of the six print a single-portion lasagna price: La Lanterna at $25.50, Rolo’s at $35, Mark’s at $38 and Cafe Fiorello at $39. Don Angie prices its two-person dish at $72, which is 36 dollars a head if split evenly: a dollar above Rolo’s plate and two below Mark’s. Osteria La Baia’s main menu prints no prices. Its $38 weekday lunch pairs one antipasto with one secondo, lasagna among them, so the lunch costs a dollar less than Fiorello’s lasagna alone and the same as Mark’s. For how these numbers sit against pasta generally, see what a $38 bowl of pasta actually buys.

When is each of the six open?

• Weekday lunch: La Lanterna’s posted hours start at 10am, La Baia’s and Mark’s at 11:30am, Cafe Fiorello’s at noon. Don Angie’s lunch is Friday to Sunday only, and Rolo’s serves dinner on weekdays.
• Late: La Lanterna has the latest posted closing of the six, 2am on Friday and Saturday. La Baia runs to midnight on those nights and Cafe Fiorello to 11:30pm.
• Sunday night: every restaurant except Mark’s is open.

Which lasagna fits which table?

• Two people, one dish: Don Angie’s Lasagna for Two, $72.
• A table that cannot agree: La Lanterna’s twelve lasagnas or the $27.50 flight, or its large-group page for thirteen or more.
• A two-course weekday lunch for $38: Osteria La Baia, for six or fewer.
• A vegetarian at the table: La Lanterna’s Vegetariano set of four, as its menu labels it. Confirm ingredients with the restaurant.
• A Sunday night: anywhere here except Mark’s Off Madison.

For the oven side of the dish, and six more kitchens listing lasagna or other baked pasta, the Red Sauce Index covers baked pasta and lasagna in NYC. For a pasta that is not baked, the best carbonara in NYC is the sibling verdict.
