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!

    We absolutely love the food at the restaurant, but we always find the service really slow. It wasn't that full but still we had to wait for quite some time for our drinks to come and even longer for the food.

    Whilst I can appreciate that the restaurant was extremely busy, the communication from the waitress was non existent. Food took forever and we had to ask what was happening. Then when our food did arrive, the pizza had been standing for a long time and was very dry. The pastas were good though. Overall the lack of communication is what spoilt the evening. Will not be visiting anytime soon.

    The music was too loud and a vendor from the market was selling a smoke product set up adjacent to the restaurant. I have kids and a pregnant sister, we asked to move immediately, the service was impeccable but food and ambience not great at all.
