Lupo Restaurant & Vinoteca

Another fantastic meal and experience at Lupo. Mike and his team pay attention to the details and provide exceptional service and delicious food. We will be back!

The service was exemplary and the food was excellent. My favorite park was the excellent selection of wine the server recommended with my meal which was also a recommendation. It was a last minute reservation for me and I am so glad I went to Lupo. I hope to be back when I travel to Vancouver again

We found this restaurant on Open Table and decided to give it a try. The home made focaccia bread was absolutely fabulous. We each had a different pasta dish which were honestly the best Italian food we have ever tried. We had no room for dessert sadly but maybe next time. The restaurant was upscale, quiet and a remodeled beautiful home with great service.

Had a cream based fettuccine + a ribeye that was perfectly done to medium and beautifully plated. Highly recommend that steak! The tiramisu was good but was served lopsided and it was a much smaller cut than what I saw served to the table beside ours. Maybe they run out. Still, it was tasty enough to make up for the presentation.

Food was very good, serviçe excellent, a very nice place for a romantic dinner with your spouse, girlfriend or....

We were there at 5:00 on a cold December evening and the place was toasty warm, inviting, great ambience. Food was excellent and the glass of wine was generously filled.

I found this place through Open Table, and I have to say it's spectacular. All the food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. They also have many wine options at reasonable prices. When you come to Vancouver, don't hesitate to dine at Lupo.

Outstanding dinner at Lupo. We had the tasting menu which was perfectly paced and so very tasty! A Vancouver institution that never disappoints!

You are missing a little gem here. The food is FABULOUS. You feel you are home. The service is invisible. The menu extensive and ITALIAN. I hate to share this with you because I may not get reservations so easily. Seriously go Enjoy one of my favourite dines in Vancouver. PS I am from Vancouver!!!

My wife and I recently enjoyed a fantastic evening at Lupo. The food was delicious, and the service was absolutely amazing. Our experience was made truly unforgettable by our wonderful waitress, Joanna, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and highly knowledgeable about the menu. Her outstanding service really enhanced our visit. We also loved the restaurant's distinct, cozy, and historic ambiance, which helps it stand out from other establishments. We would definitely return to Lupo for another meal

Utterly unremarkable and lackluster.

Service was poor. Suggest sorting reviews by lowest rating to get a genuine sense of the place. We waited over 5-minutes for a menu or acknowledgement once sat down. There's no care or urgency. Of course the attitude changes once they present you with a card machine.

Considering celebrating here? Don't. Even if you put it on the booking reservation the staff won't bring it up. I don't like freebies, but do like service that acknowledges you chose to dine with them and celebrate an event.

Mains were fine for the price. No issue. The appetizers aren't worth it and subpar in comparison to other Italian restaurants in the city.

Service was great however food was underwhelming and did not feel the value was worth it. Food was just ok nothing special to justify the costs. Also we were told they would bring focaccia bread to the table but didn't advise it would be at our expense. You shouldn't be told they will bring an item to your table if it is going to cost you and not make that clear. I wouldn't recommend nor would I return.
