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!

    Honestly disappointed. Expected better. Food was average, pasta portions were tiny. So the prices just weren't justified. Place was empty on a Saturday night, which speaks volumes. Disinterested, unfriendly owner/manager who never checked on either of the 2 tables that were occupied. Sadly won't be returning.

    We went at lunchtime on Friday 15th, had a delicious meal, great service and an overall very happy time. I would recommend Lupa to anyone looking for a great nwal and excellent service.
