LUPA Osteria is a bustling Italian restaurant serving authentic food in a warm and inviting setting . Whether you want a delicious bowl of pasta on a random Tuesday, country fresh salad, wood-oven baked pizza or a big celebration dinner with friends, LUPA offers all this and more.

We pride ourselves in staying true to our Italian roots and in keeping traditional Roman cuisine alive. Each Lupa has a designated pasta making & drying room where our fresh pasta is hand-made daily. A wood fired pizza oven is used for truly authentic pizzas and for baking many other traditional dishes for that extra flavour and authenticity.

Our wines list is extensive and offers a great selection of local and imported wine, beer and spirits to accompany your food or have a beautiful cocktail at aperitivo hour!

Benvenuto!

    Great to be back here for my son-in-laws birthday dinner. Food was great but the service was disappointing. We had to look for our waiter on quite a few occasions. Anyway didn’t spoil our evening, thank you!

    Thanda was our waitress & she was very attentive, efficient & helpful. The food was good but not as good as we have experienced in the past & food slow to arrive. The restaurant is very noisy if doors are closed but that was obviously due to bad weather conditions
