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!

    Lupa Osteria Florida Road I booked a table for 5 via Dineplan like I always do, but when my friends arrived, the staff couldn’t even find the booking. After my friends were seated, they said it took about 15 minutes before a waiter showed up. Since service was already slow, we ordered drinks and food together to save time. The restaurant was practically empty and tables around us were settling their bill and yet our food took 50-55 minutes to arrive, which was 3 sets of pasta dishes and kingklip. The waiter was uninterested, had an unpleasant and dismissive demeanor, she barely paid attention to us. My dish was the kingklip and even though I was famished, one bite of the fish was enough. It was slimy, smelled off, and clearly not fresh at all. When I complained, the manager (Themba I think) tried to convince me it was “because of the white wine.” Mind you, I’ve had the same dish at their Umhlanga branch and it definitely didn’t smell or taste like that. My friends weren’t impressed either with their pasta, it was mushy, stuck together, and clearly overcooked. If it wasn't for almost 2 hours wasted, we would have gladly gone to Doughed. Overall just bad vibes and bad food. Would not recommend at all.

    I'm giving the food 4 stars because I ordered a dish expecting something else and I received something entirely different but it tasted amazing regardless and everyone else I was with was happy with theirs. Good food, good service just amazing!

    My husband and I had an enjoyable evening. BUT we went for the special which my husband received via SMS: Join us at Lupa Florida Road for a wood-fired pizza and a 500ml beer for just R129, all day, every day. Book now https://bit.ly/3HnQYLS STOP to opt out When we asked about it, the waitress stated that it was only valid on a Sunday and Monday. We did not want to fight as we needed a peaceful night out, but your advert did say all day, every day.

    I booked for my partners birthday and made it clear on the dine plan reservation that it was to celebrate a birthday. We booked to sit inside but got there and were told the aircon didn’t work so we chose to sit outside. Outside the lighting is poor whilst I appreciate the ambiance they are trying to create having to use your phone flash light to read the menu is not ideal. We ordered the lasagne and chicken Alfredo. I asked for penne and got fettuccine. The lasagne was bland nothing wow and the Alfredo was also average, the actual pasta was not nice and stuck together and tasted dense. No one shared with the waitress that our booking was for a birthday celebration either. I would not choose Lupa again and left a little disappointed as I did not quite achieve what I hoped for when choosing a lupa as a nice restaurant to take my partner for his birthday.
