Lupa Osteria Romana

I love Italian food and couldn't wait to try this restaurant. When I arrived I parked on the street not too far. When I walked in, I was greeted by James the host, and he was very nice. The restaurant was so cute! Adrian was the bartender, Marco was my server, and Ian was the GM. They were all great! I started with an espresso martini, which was great. I then had an amazing red wine. For my appetizer, I had the Arancini di Mozzarella, and it wasn't bad. It was nice and cheesey. For my meal, I got the Black Spaghetti with Spicy frutti di mare. I really enjoyed my entrée. It was very different and melted in my mouth. I really enjoyed the food, drink and service!

Very nice, old school Italian spot! Loved the dim lighting and vibe of the place, only thing I didn’t like was the music playing. But as for the food, enjoyed the focaccia they bring out! The wine is enough for a glass and a third. Really liked the rigatoni gricia and the paparadelle was handmade and very light! For dessert we loved the affogato and the tartufo!

Lupa, the charming Italian restaurant specializing in Roman cuisine, left a lasting impression on my dining experience. The food was undeniably exceptional, showcasing the true essence of Italian flavors. What truly elevated our visit was the impeccable service. The staff's attentiveness was remarkable, ensuring a delightful evening. I must commend our sommelier, Angelo, whose profound knowledge of wines added a layer of sophistication to our meal. Angelo's approachable demeanor made the entire wine selection process an engaging and enjoyable one. In essence, Lupa offers a genuine Italian culinary journey, complemented by a service that strikes the perfect balance between expertise and warmth. This restaurant is an unassuming gem in the world of Italian dining, where the focus remains firmly on the culinary experience rather than commercial promotion.

Walked in on a Saturday night and was greeted right away, we picked our own table in the corner which was great. The service is by far the BEST. My glass never went down more than half way with water! The Somali helped me with selecting a wine (great recommendation) we order the octopus and a spaghetti dish. They even sent over a complementary tray of sliced meats. The service and food is just amazing, I almost wanted to hug everyone on the way out lol Thank you!

I tried their Tartufo, cacio e Pepe, burrata, pesto beets. The pasta and dessert were my favorite. Cacio e Pepe was creamy and delicious. The spot gets super crowded during Friday night so reservation is a must. They also have a lovely outside seating space. My friends tried the crispy duck and loved it. Staff is friendly too. They have wine by small carafes and I liked the wine I tried.

Came for a nice dinner with my girlfriend while we were in NY last summer. Our meals were both delicious and it was great to try some Roman style Italian food. The arancini & crispy brussels sprouts sprouts were both excellent as well as our main dishes. Definitely holds up in a city filled with many excellent Italian spots and would recommend a visit here.

Place is a vibe. One of my first choice Italian restaurants to visit in NYC 🫶 Lovely bar atmosphere to dine for one and warm service from the bar staff! Can't go wrong with the menu but if you smell the Short Rib Ragu and you didn't order it, you'll have order envy. Whatever the burrata special is, definitely start with it.

Love this place . The wine was giving it. Meatballs tasted like pure meat and it is good quality. Branzino fish was flavourful and seemed fresh. It went perfect with Brussel Sprout. I love how the season this veggie! Cocio de pepe was amazing I would definitely go back to the pasta . Sei Chianti was very easy to drink as it is very light but so savoury. I want to give this place 10 stars for food, wine and dessert. Tiramisu was one of the best ones I have ever had .
