    Hugos is an excellent server. Knows the menu and able to make suggestions. Food is always excellent and presentation is amazing. Portions are large and enough for sharing or taking home for another day. Great drinks and wonderful staff.

    I had Veal chop, vegis and Whipped potatoes which were delicious as well as mango Pineapple martini for cocktail. My husband had Veal scaloppini which was also delicious. Enough food left over for another meal. Friendly staff and very nice pleasant environment.

    Been here before and always a pleasurable experience. Had a horrible server. Had a 530 reservation and left around 930. Spoke up multiple times and asked for a manager. No one came to our table. They need to address that.

    Place is small. Burrata app with prosciutto and ricotta and melon was delicious. We ordered a Caesar salad that never arrived. Our waitress seemed confused the whole time. I ordered the NY Strip steak with lobster mashed potatoes. Sounds good right? No, the steak was blandest, unsalted and unseasoned steak I’ve ever had, but was cooked to my requested temp. Med rare. The lobster meat was very generous but was also bland and unseasoned and had a very chewy texture. The potatoes were even weird and flavorless. My girlfriend ordered the Seafood linguini that was saltiest thing I’ve ever eaten. Starting to think we just ordered the wrong things as many people I know love the place. I will give it a try again soon

    Our first time to La Lupa, for the four of us. Food quality was excellent. Noise level was a little noisy. Service was fair, took a long time to wait for food, meals were luke warm, would have enjoyed more if the meals were hotter and in a timely manner. Overall, myself and my guests will return.

    We met with friends from New York and Massachusetts for lunch. Food is exceptional and portions are large. Everything was delicious and we shared appetizers. Lots of take home with such large portions. Just as good the next day. Wait staff is wonderful. Place is very busy including bar, so noise level is high. Wonderful place and always have a great meal. As many specials on the menu as the regular menu. Kudos to the chef and staff.

    Great Food! The food received 4 stars because one persons steak in the party came out well done instead of medium. Maybe the chef had it rest to long while other food was getting done? But that’s not our fault, the steak should come out how the customer wants it and now how it was cooked. Remember steak continues to cook while resting after being on high heat. The waitress, we felt, was very defensive and a not kind when we told her. We go there a lot and we were a little thrown off by her reaction. We spend around $200-$250 every time we go, this time we brought more people with us and our bill was around $600 so I don’t understand why she took it so personal. We could clearly see there was no pink inside the steak. Other than that the other 7 entrees were perfect. Not sure if we will go back due to the waitress making us feel uncomfortable.

    Drinks were great, service was excellent. We must have gone on a bad night based on the reviews. Party of 4 , portions were huge but nothing had any flavor! We had 2 appetizers, 3 specials and I ordered off the menu. No one was happy with their meal. Fried Calamari was undercooked, mussels had no flavor. Big disappointment after reading the reviews. Unfortunately we probably wont be going back.

    La Lupa is not a pizza, chicken parm and meatball Italian-AMERICAN restaurant. It offers a nice array of classic and well-prepared authentic Italian dishes and many specials- featuring plenty of seafood-based entrees. The waitstaff was professional and friendly and the wine list extensive (but $34 and up..) The wine was carefully served and attentively poured. We appreciated white tablecloth service. Our party of 5 enjoyed our appetizers (eggplant rollettes were amazing), but our enjoyment of the entrees ($24 and up) was diminished by the portion size- HUGE- on oversized individual platters. Great for those who like leftovers, but a problem for diners who don't like leaving half or more of their meal untouched.

    So unfortunate as I’ve always had a good dinner. My entree was supposed to be pork chop. I was brought out veal chop. Was told I’d have to wait 30-40 minutes for the correct meal. I asked to take the veal for the pork at the pork price which should of been offered. It was all fat. So upset. Can’t believe they served that.
