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!

    I ordered the mushroom Italian fillet. It wasn’t a good tasting fillet ( quite tough and chewy) in fact I’m not convinced it was fillet as right at the end there was some fat. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to see the fat as the steak was smothered in sauce and I had eaten most of it by the time I got to it.

    Would have been the perfect evening except for the fact that from 7 meals ordered only 6 arrived… Thankfully I was able to share as we didn’t have the time to wait for a meal to be prepared. Other than that it was a lovely evening with good food.

    It was special occasion for us, our first dinner together with family from out of town, after getting engaged and didn't seem like our waiter cared at all. Our waiter often disappeared. Making the booking was also hard - the person taking the booking could hardly tell what name to use. The rest was lovely, but I'm disappointed in the Lupa, as I didn't see the standard I've always known.
