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 really enjoyed. Only one complain... it is very noisy when the tables and chairs are dragged on the floor and not picked up to reset.

    Malva pudding shud have an option to be served with ice cream or hot custard. Its winter and most prefer hot custard not ice cream. The small door at the back needs to have strong lever to make sure it closes properly it was loose and kept letting cold air in.
