“ Delicious food! We tried several appetizers and everything was perfect. The rosa martini is to die for. Seafood stew was a treat. ”
“ My husband and I came here for brunch/lunch. We had a fantastic meal! The ambience was pretty, it felt like a European cafe. The service was attentive but not overbearing. The kitchen was a little bit slow but they completely acknowledged it and sent out an amuse bouche to hold us over, the most delicious fluffy lemon ricotta pancake I have ever tasted. Both egg dishes we ordered came out hot, fresh, and delicious. The cappuccinos were made perfectly and the chocolate peanut butter lava cake was amazing. The nicest part was the chef coming out to check on us and chat for a couple of minutes. We will be coming back, again, often, possibly tomorrow. Only regret is not taking photos of the food before eating it! ”
“ My experience was perfection. Every dish was incredible. Delicious and perfectly cooked and presented. The best grilled octopus and Chilean sea bass I ever had and I have eaten in Michelin star restaurants. The chef visits with all of the guests. Server was helpful and attentive. Atmosphere is casual not stuffy. I highly recommend. ”
“ We come her pretty regularly and consistently have a great meal. It's not your typical Italian restaurant as the ingredients are distinctive and the preparations unique. One thing I can say is that the Chef is top notch. He regularly comes out of the kitchen to check the dining room and the guests. Last night my husband ordered a special dish and was left lacking. The food was fine but he felt there was something off about it. He didn't want to say anything because he wasn't sure what exactly it was but 10 minutes into the meal, when he still had most on his dish, the Chef came over to us and apologized that it wasn't up to his standards and would make sure that any other dishes that came out would be without fault. He immediately took the dish off the bill and was extremely apologetic. That to me is first class and we will definitely be back! ”
“ First brunch visit, surely not the last. Lupa never disappoints on food, service and overall quality. ”
“ I've been here 3x and every time it's been delicious! The burrata app is a MUST have and so is the papardelle short rib. We had a larger table last night and did not feel rushed at all. Highly recommend this place! ”
“ My experience at Lupa was immaculate. It is a nicer, slightly fancy place but not pretentious at all. The service was unbelievable; so attentive and warm. I had a wonderful birthday dinner here. They made a great Negroni to start and I enjoyed it alongside complimentary focaccia bread. For starters, my sister and I split the octopus and artichokes. We really loved the octopus and the artichokes were pretty good. The sauce on them was amazing though. Our favorite dish was the fennel fettuccini-- it was incredible. The pasta was handmade and the sauce was creamy and flavorful without being too heavy. Definitely a standout dish! We also ordered the short rib which we enjoyed but wished the brothy sauce was a little more of a creamy one. However, it was tender and good. Would have preferred a proper potato or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce instead of the gnocchi, but it was still good. We ended with the bread pudding which was yummy! Overall this place is truly great and one of the better dinners I've had in awhile for sure! ”
“ My yelp brother Edward put me on to this local family owned & run ristorante. Everything was excellent. Lasagna will make you cry. 5.0 / 5.0. The escargots were very good. Had them many times overseas and compete. 4.0 / 5.0. The fettuccine bolognese was superb. 5.0 / 5.0. 'Nduja was so good. 5.0 / 5.0. Will be back. Support small & local businesses! ”
