Changing my review because it technically wasn't fair. The decor was very pretty. The waitress was nice and my husband enjoyed his pasta even though it was not as described on the menu. My eggplant was not done well and my lack of finishing it should have raised concern with the waitress. Overall it was a pleasant atmosphere and the wine list was extensive.

My yelp brother Edward put me on to this local family owned & run ristorante. Everything was excellent. Lasagna will make you cry. 5.0 / 5.0. The escargots were very good. Had them many times overseas and compete. 4.0 / 5.0. The fettuccine bolognese was superb. 5.0 / 5.0. 'Nduja was so good. 5.0 / 5.0. Will be back. Support small & local businesses!

Hosted a group of 20 for dinner and everything was amazing, from uniquely crafted drinks to their house-made pasta, and of course dessert. Flawless execution with a large party and absolutely stunning experience!

The best Italian restaurant in the area. The bread is made in house and has great flavor. All the pastas are killer. Chef Adolfo is a master in the kitchen.

Best authentic Italian, period. Everything made from scratch. Superstars: squid ink spaghetti, Iberico pork rib chop (special) and brioche pecan bread pudding. Go

Excellent service. Food quite good with a large menu and full bar. Parking can be challenging as they don't seem to have their own lot.

This place is absolutely flawless, finding something wrong with Lupa is harder than trying to eat everything that I ordered. The appetizers alone could have satisfied me, the fett'unta was great and contained a lot of garlic, it also was great for dipping in the sauces of the polpo and escargot The goat cheese and beet crostini was a complex but straight forward flavor, the bone marrow and octopus surprised me with their sweetness. I should have ordered those two twice. The bone marrow felt like pulled pork yet the flavor was like a dessert. The octopus at first glance looks like it's going to be spicy due to the pepper on top and the chilli bits in the sauce. This tasted like heaven in a bite. The giant ravioli was not my favorite but because the cheese was very sharp and it's an acquired taste to enjoy it thoroughly. The egg in the center was a nice touch. The escargot sauce was one of the best I have ever had. The amuse bouche from the beginning really set the standard for the rest of the meal. all of the dishes that I ordered had a very complex taste but an amazing one at that. The gnocchi was so creamy and hot, the mushrooms melted in your mouth like they were a liquid. The squid ink pasta was very al dente and the lobster in it was very fresh and the cream sauce was delicious. The Hanger steak was really good but be warned the chimichurri contains a hearty amount of cilantro so be ready for that. The steak was cooked to perfection. The bread pudding had an exquisite amount of citrus, it balanced the flavor so well and it had the salted caramel gelato on top. very strong but balanced flavors from the bread pudding. The creme brulee was the first warm one I have had in over four years, with it's crust top, it didn't taste burnt and it was so creamy. Everybody there was so friendly and welcoming. It is a very fancy and modern building but the sign is very small you have to be looking for the sign to see it. Overall a great experience that I would go to again, everything tastes fresh, this is the epitomy of Italian restaurants.

What an amazing Chef! Amazing food! Alway an amazing experience. The Best!! Love the Host and the Bartender, he is fabulous and the staff, super attentive. European and World class. I love it!
For the price charged, I was expecting delicious food. On the contrary, their tomato sauce was extremely acidic. It reminds me of canned tomato sauce that they didn't even take time to doctor. Very sad!!!Vegetarian options: My meal could be had by a vegetarian. My daughter in law is vegetarian, and she suggested Lupa.Kid-friendliness: We came with 2 children.

Excellent, classy and original Italian restaurant. And I mean original by native Italian standards. As expected from a restaurant based in the US, there are minor compromises made to adapt a bit to the American taste, but 95% of the menu you would find in a typical restaurant in Toscana or Lazio. The service is excellent and discreet. The location has parking and the ambience is simple yet refined.There is a large choice of antipasti and primi piatti (large portions) mostly of home made pasta, cooked absolutely al dente. Good wine list. It is not cheap, but you can taste the quality and that makes the price absolutely fair.I will definitely go back to try more dishes.

Amazing food experience. I had the red snapper, which has awaken a few dormant taste buds, yet the rest of the party, about a dozen people, had similar comments. Great service and come ambiance.

Adolfo and his staff are truly amazing. Everything from the start when you walk in to the food and the service. His food brought me back to when I Studied abroad in Italy it was that good! Adolfo also makes you feel like family too which is hard to find. Already planning my next visit soon!
