    Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, but very pricey. Very nice atmosphere but it was extremely loud, dark, and tables very on top of each other.

    Wonderful dinner. Fried chicken with hot honey app was out of this world. The pizza was exceptional. Pasta was very flavorful and clearly homemade. They event provided free dessert with our birthday dinner celebration! The wait staff was attentive and friendly. No complaints.

    Outstanding pizza, unexpected free app, standout steak, and some of the most underrated dessert options in the area. A young, vibrant, welcomed and well-run addition to the local food scene. Chose a second visit to La Lupa to celebrate my Birthday. Era tutto squisito.

    This is by far the best restaurant . We had 6 different dishes each dish was made to perfection. The service is 5 star as well. It is worth the time and money. I am looking forward to going back again.
