What a gem! Lupa Ristorante has such lovely vibe, the food is amazing and the employees are all so warm and accommodating. It really feels like dining at someone's home. Last week, I had the pleasure of dining here with some friends for our monthly night out and to celebrate a friend's upcoming birthday. Everything was perfect from start to finish. My friend is gluten-free and had no trouble finding something on the menu. Each of the pasta options can be substituted with gluten-free pasta so she had many options to choose from.

I was looking forward to trying the Squid Ink pasta and I must say that it didn't disappoint. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and is super creamy. I loved the addition of lobster and shrimp - yum!

Great food, superior service, family friendly restaurant! Truly a hidden gems, will definitely coming back. Love the steak tartare and all the pasta dishes we ordered, specially the black ink spaghetti.

The first time I went here in 2023 it was amazing. Delicious pastas and fish. The second time I came here about a year later, it was like the chef was replaced. I ordered a very similar salmon dish and it was very average. The pastas my party ordered were just okay. It’s outrageously expensive for what it was. Lovely atmosphere but very overhyped. Avoid.

This place needs a Michelin star - best restaurant around. Brunch is to die for and dinner is just as good. Service is also 10/10 with a great, more formal atmosphere. Perfect date spot or with the family.

Great restaurant! Chef Adolfo Marisi is so talented and he loves to feed his guests. Good food, good vibe and nice cocktails. You can be in the main dining area or hang out at the bar, the service is always top notch. Highly recommend.

Went for a party and all of the food was delicious and freshly made. Will definitely be back to try out other items on their menu. The restaurant itself is very nice and the waitress staff was all friendly and attentive.

This place is the real deal when it comes to authentic Italian cuisine. They make everything from scratch and you can taste the difference.

Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back.

This was our first time at Lupa, but the minute we walked in, we were treated like we were regulars, friends, family. Every single staff member was welcoming and attentive, especially the host, our server and Adolfo himself. Not only did Adolfo greet us and welcome us in, throughout our meal, he made sure we were enjoying everything. The outside is reminiscent of a Tuscan villa. The inside is a modern beauty with personal pictures on the wall bringing a rustic, warm, family feel to the modernity. There is a buzz in the dining area, making it obvious that the vibe of Lupa is meant to be one of great food and great company. Speaking of the food, I really don't know where to begin and I could go on and on. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. House made bread, pastas and gelato. The well balanced flavors, combination of textures, and plating showed just how much care goes into every dish. The desserts were a perfect ending to the night, just as the cocktails were the perfect beginning. Everything in between echoed that perfection. This was one of the best meals we have ever eaten and we cannot wait to go back. Thank you, Lupa. Thank you, Adolfo.

First time at Lupa, food was great! Both our dinners tasted great and was very fresh. Seemed like an actual chef made it, not a pre-made fast food. And our server, Raye, was very pleasant answered some questions, and attended to us without rushing us. Atmosphere was very nice, quiet and not nceowded. Lupa is now our go to restaurant for special occasions. Great place.
