Both indoor and outdoor dining. Nice variety of menu items. I ordered the steak and it was cooked perfectly as I like it. Staff are very attentive. Outdoor area is romantic as it overlooks a park.

Amazing dinner for our first night. Delectable cocktails, savory and satisfying entrees and a light, fresh dessert. A definite must try for any Italian lover.

Absolutely amazing staff, great food (try the bolognese made with homemade pasta) and great atmosphere, especially outdoors

Il Lupino is a great Italian restaurant in Honolulu. They try their best at offering quality Italian food, and they do not disappoint. Our family has tried the garlic bread, the pescatore (pic attached), the chicken parm, and the veal chop. Everything was cooked perfectly! The atmosphere is fun and the service is always great.

I appreciate them giving me the option to have two different sizes for your main course. I had the vongole - pasta was Al dente, portion was perfect for me.

I was scared when I saw the reviews but it was better than expected. The food was not great, but it was still good.
The gluten free pizza is ok, not the best, but definitely good. They didn't have gluten free pasta as they said they faced some supply problems in recent weeks. Other gluten free options were marked (but limited).
We didn't have a problem with a long wait or ignoring servers - maybe we were lucky or maybe the restaurant fixed something after recent reviews.

This place is absolutely phenomenal. They go out of their way to make things allergy safe if you have food allergies and all of the staff were very friendly and pleasant to talk to. The food I got was some of the best Italian food I've ever had. Definitely worth trying!

After reading some of the reviews I was a bit concerned but it was fine. Our guests were locals and we booked an outside table which also meant we could see and hear the entertainment from the stage. A nice garden setting we ordered the large charcuterie board for starters. Nice selection of cheeses and prosciutto with biscuits. We also asked for French bread which was delivered with olive oil and balsamic. For dinner I ordered the Filet Mignon and it was melt in your mouth tender. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps some tasting notes alongside the wines because my German Reisling was definitely closer to a Moselle style. Friendly and attentive service made it an enjoyable evening with good company.

The apps were great, wine selection is second to none (ask for full wine list they have more than the 47 bottle per glass list). My only complaint is that when they get busy they struggle with the large crowds and some times partial orders get delayed. Otherwise the quality of the food is very good.

I always enjoy my time spent at Il Lupino. They have a nice ambiance and the best servers. Especially Nicolai. The bartenders Allie and Killiam are so awesome! The food is amazing. It’s definitely worth a trip to waikiki.
