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 did not enjoy my overall experience. The restaurant was not aware of my Dineplan booking, and the special occasion we were celebrating had also not been noted. The service overall was less than desirable. Considering it was not a particularly busy evening, we had to ask for a waiter twice before anyone attended to us or even offered us something to drink. This was disappointing, especially for a special occasion. Unfortunately, the level of service did not meet the expectations I had for the restaurant, and it had a significant impact on our overall experience.

    The food was great, however the service was not. Waiters not attentive even though the restuarant was empty.

    i wqs not too impressed with the staff. we asked for a grapetizer and were told they did not have it so asked for a stoney gingerbeer and told you did not have it. I asked the waitress to go to checkers to buy grapetizer and the manager said he had them downstairs. after a long long wait we got. I had to try and move the umbrella, a white haired 77 year old lady, not one of the men came to help until we asked for help. I do think your service needs to be jacked up.

    Our waiter was on point 👌🏾The food, well done to the chef 🙌🏽🥂 The downfall was when the manager wanted us to move tables to accommodate a bigger crowd, even though we had a reservation. This request came while we were eating. The sad part is, the staff has to pay for the blow back because of a manager. Other than that, we had a good time.
