Food, drinks and music were awesome! We even brought our kids and the chef was nice enough to change some of the orders for them. I would def. recommend the ricotta toast, meatballs and the fettuccine. Delicious!
I've been to Bar Lupo 3 times now. And each experience has been fabulous. The food is delicious and interesting. They put flavors and tastes together that you wouldn't expect & yet, are wonderful together!! When I leave, I look forward to "experiencing" something new next time! There a good selection of beer, wine & spirits as well. The house cocktails we've tried have been wonderful as well.
The staff has always been extremely helpful and knowledgeable. On our 2nd visit, our waiter was on his first day. Even his knowledge of the menu was good!
As to ambiance, the place has a cool, hip feeling. Looking forward to the warm weather so I can sit outside!! I love, love, love this place!!
Great atmosphere and delicious food! They do offer $17 dollar spaghetti so bring your black card. The meatballs are absolutely worth it though.
It wasn't very crowded when I took some out of town visitors there and it wasn't near closing but it definitely felt like the waiter was impatient for us to leave after eating.
Hats off to Chef Marcos! The stuffed crispy meatballs are the best! The homemade Ricotta Toast is divine! Can't wait to come back!
Perfect outside tables for a summer evening! We walked by and it looked like a fun place so we stopped in for a light dinner and some aperol spritz. It reminded us of our recent trip to Italy. Great casual spot!
The food there was good and amazing. Good quality. A very chilled and a good vibe place. Definitely gonna go back soon
This review only covers lunch, and after one visit I can certainly see myself coming back. This combination of speed, price and quality is a rare find for lunch in this part of River North.
I walked over a bit before noon and wasn't sure what to expect, knowing that Bar Lupo was more of a restaurant than a deli-counter. Any uncertainty was immediately dispelled when I walked in to see a simple setup composed of a cooler of sodas, a bin of chips, a box of pre-made hoagies and a check-out counter. There was no one else in line so all I had to do was order and pay and then I was out of there. I probably spent 2 minutes in there max. Verdict: very very fast.
I had the Butcher's Hoagie and based on taste alone I thought it was very good but not top-tier, which is understandable given that it was pre-made. It's a decent portion and for the price I thought it was a good value. I think the trade-off in quality for speed and price is more than worth it though.
Overall, I recommend it and am looking forward to trying some of their other hoagies.
Very nice restaurant with great decor !!! The food is DELICIOUS. The chilaquiles, WoW !!!! SPEECHLESS !!!! You need to give it a try at least once.
Great location with an awesome selection of food. The head chef has masterfully selected a range of items that pair well with the environment. If in doubt, ask your server for what they suggest and do not miss out on their amazing drink menu! A great place for a group based on the layout and space provided to each table. This will be a hometown favorite for sure!
