all the food was good- excellent cornish hen an halibut. no dogs allowed at all even in the enclosed patio- sadly there were some noisy children at 6pm but otherwise very quiet always a pleasure to eat at Lupa- fabulous bread

We had a reservation and were able to select the table by the window facing the street. The server was very attentive and came by several times to check on us and see if we needed anything else. The entree food (veal scallopini was excellent for the ladies and I had the homemade fettuccine). The spinach salad and Caesar salad were delicious. Everything was just right for our restaurant experience.

Our first visit here was a mixed experience.
Service was a strong point. It was attentive and efficient from start to finish.
The food, however, didn’t quite hit the mark. The salads were fine, but the main dishes and bread lacked distinction. Nothing was bad, just nothing memorable.
One notable downside was the seating for two. In the main dining room, we were initially placed very close to neighboring tables. After asking for something more private we were placed along a busy walkway used by staff. It made private conversation difficult and didn’t feel ideal for a date night.
On the positive side, while the restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, it filled up quickly with families and larger groups. That’s usually a good sign. I’d say it’s worth trying if you’re in a group of three or more, but it's probably not my pick for a more intimate meal for two

We love Lupa! It is an exceptional neighborhood Italian restaurant. All of their pastas are delicious. I am especially fond of the NY Steak - it's one of the best deals in the city.

Perfect for a nice meal with people you love. The service is fantastic and the food delicious. Calm enough inside to actually talk

My husband and I were there on an early Monday night (5:30 reservation)with our adult children. The food was delicious, service very attentive and the noise level low enough so we were able to converse with everyone. The later you go it does get a little livlier. We live in the neighborhood and eat there often. I highly recommend Lupa Tratoria.
Don
Wonderful neighborhood Italian restaurant. Very good food at very reasonable prices, in a very pleasant atmosphere: quiet enough to have a conversation without straining!

I've eaten at Lupa many many times and it's always a beautiful experience. The food is exceptional, service is great, it has a really wonderful neighborhood vibe. I can't recommend it highly enough. I'm only sad that I moved out of the city and I don't get to eat there as often as I did when I lived in the neighborhood.
It's always a great go to!! We've been there quite a few times and we will go back for sure.

Had a great dinner at Lupa!
Was impressed with the salmon (gluten free) and everyone enjoyed their pasta dishes (which aren’t available gluten free, but there are a ton of other options!)
The vibe is wonderfully warm, charming and cozy. Service was exceptional.
A great spot!

Lupa is consistently one of the best Italian Restaurants in the city...a hidden gem. Lovely owners, delicious food, great ambiance and wonderful wine. We are lucky to have in Noe Valley.
