This little spot is tucked away in a residential neighborhood and in a really quiet and great location. There is plenty of parking! The food was just okay- the bread was the best thing that I had on the menu. The food is listed as Mediterranean tapas, but it was really Mediterranean American fusion IMO. The service was excellent. We were seated in “the vault” which wasn’t my favorite- sit outside on the patio if you can. The aforementioned fruit flies from other reviews were definitely still there.

Been going here for years. Easily the best spot in Cbus. Only wish the still did brunch. Whenever I have out of town guests this is where I bring them to hype of the dining scene in Cbus.

One of the worst dining experiences in a long time. My family and I each got different things and none of us ate even half our meals. Food was either bland or just didn't taste good. The fact that it was over priced added insult to injury. Will not be going back.

THE BEST Restaurant in Columbus!!!!! Ever changing Menu....which is fabulous! Food was amazing. Outstanding original Cocktails. Great Staff. Take their job and the Food serious. My goto spot.

The patio here is wonderful, and the service impeccable. Their Gazpacho is probably the best in town. Their burger is pretty good. Unfortunately, the Setas tapas was subpar this time around. The taste was delicious, but the mushrooms were tough and rubbery.

I had heard great things about this restaurant and it was ok but did not wow our table of 6. We made the reservation well in advance and asked for patio seating and it was a beautiful day, the ambiance of the patio was enjoyed as it could have been as the 6 of us were crowded into what was basically a 4 top with metal chairs. All other tables on the patio looked spacious and had comfortable seating so we kind of felt like an afterthought where maybe they just can't normally sit a party of 6 on the patio. The food was enjoyable and so were the drinks just didn't live up to the reputation we were under the impression it had.

It was our first visit. The food and cocktails were full of flavor. We really enjoyed the carnitas, the pan de tomato and the eggplant parmagiana. The portions were perfect also. We were there early so there was no real noise other than the background music. Service was wonderful and our server was helpful and upbeat. We will be back.
Delicious food and an excellent patio setting; however, there was a general feeling of unfriendliness from every staff member we interacted with. Nobody was outright rude, but service was just generally lackluster.

We had a great experience at Lupo. The menu has a good assortment of tapas. The summer salad is amazing and the octopus dish is a must order. Gelato for dessert was a perfect way to end our meal. We'll be back!

Lupo is a hidden gem! The food is amazing/ fresh, creative and delicious. Patrick and Corey are two of the friendliest and most knowledgeable bartenders- we thoroughly enjoy talking with both of them. A truly lovely culinary experience.

Lupo is simply the best. Worth a trip for any foodie or anybody who just likes to try new stuff. I've been to Lupo 15+ times. It's consistently excellent and creates new takes on house specialties every time you go. For example, they always have a grilled octopus on the menu (my fav), however the plating is different every time using what's fresh and always works well with the other menu items. Sit outside on a beautiful day if you can. It's really the highlight. I would legit eat here once a week forever and be very happy.

We ate outside on their new covered patio. We were the only table occupied for our early reservation and even after another hour there were still tables available. Server was patient with our ordering and explained which dishes would take a longer prep time so we could order appropriately. Salads were delicious and large enough to share. We ordered two tapas and three entrees which was way too much food for four adults. We have enough leftovers for another dinner!
