Cubicle depth allows for comfortable short/long-distance stance & cubicle placement within restaurant (down a passage to the left of the kitchen) affords a good degree of privacy.
Excellent basin height with well-moulded brass taps that afford the user strong two-handed purchase for high velocity occasions.
I posted a glowing review to the Reddit group and found many other members of the community who were similarly effusive... action videos to follow.
(Also enjoyed the most delicious stuffed zucchini flower I have ever eaten).

No website!!!! Cocktails are great. Wine list in the dying days pre Star takeover is short. Appetizets are great and generous sizes. Mains. Well there were 8 of us so we ate most of them. Home made pasta was a bit watery. Wheat pasta was undercooked. Black pasta and spicy seafood was not spicy. Steaks cooked correctly. But had weird seasoning on them. Duck dry and overcooked, as was the Veal.
Overall this exquisite staple needs some attention. Stephen Starr gets to take the helm soon. Hope he does some rehab.

Lupa is not what it used to be. Food was undercooked and service was very poor. Will not come back.

Clearly not the same Lupa. Two waiters- We ask Waiter #1 if they can do a small order of pasta as an appetizer. No, but two people can split one order. Waiter #2 takes our order. We tell him we would like to split an order of pasta as an appetizer. He says that is not possible. Why? Because it takes too long to prepare pasta! That said, though, the food was no longer exceptional either, apparently having gone the way of the service.

We dined at Lupa to celebrate my sister and her husband’s wedding anniversary and my husband’s birthday. We had a wonderful time. The atmosphere was great and we loved everything that we ordered. Looking forward to returning here.

I’ve been coming here for over 10 years and it only gets better and better. The carbonara is (& always will be) my favorite dish! I have ordered it every single time, and it has never disappointed, except when they altered it during Covid / post-Mario to a spaghetti and pancetta version that tasted nothing like the original and I was crushed! However, I went back recently and was delighted to discover that they switched the carbonara back to the original version (with bucatini and guanciale). Now, it is just as delicious as before! My only complaint is that you can’t order the carbonara for delivery or take out, but I understand why. Simply put, the carbonara is outstanding and I highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!

Great NYC small Italian restaurant. Staff was real fun.
The first time I was brought here by my friend I had an immaculate time (2023). The caio e pepe was perfecto.
The second time I came here, I brought other friends and was VERY disappointed by the caio e pepe. The pasta was undercooked and they were stingy with the black pepper. The picture was from the second visit. The amatriciana was not bad!
Service wise, because we were underdressed and sat us (4 people) outside, they never checked up on us. They did waive the caio e pepe on the bill so I am pleased with the compromise.

Great midday meal. Quaint indoor or outside sitting. Full bar. Perfect for two or family out.
Came here because a friend said it was head and shoulders better than Carbone across the street, and we were not disappointed. From the cocktails to the foccacia bread all the way to the tartufo for dessert, everything was excellent.
