The fact that ALL the old staff is gone can clearly be felt. Service was average at best. Not knowledgeable, courses came out before we were finished with previous ones and had to be sent back etc etc.

Pastas were excellent and flavorful; the roasted duck was dry and dull. I had to pour balsamic vinegar (remaining from the focaccia dipping) all over it to give it some spark and flavor. Don't know what happened with that order in the kitchen. Probably should have sent it back and just ordered another pasta. I'd tell diners to be cautious about ordering this item in the future.

It was an off night for Lupa. After many, many years (seriously) of coming here, it was an extremely disappointing experience. Arriving Sunday evening at 10:15pm prior to an 11pm posted closing time, there were few guests in the restaurant. After ordering, the server returned to let me know that the chef wasn't happy with the side of broccoli rabe I had ordered, so I opted for the "appetizer" of crispy brussel sprouts as a side to my entree. They were served lukewarm, and were any thing but crispy, as they were swimming in balsamic vinegar (which I detest and was not part of the description of the presentation). I had ordered the saltimbocca, which has been a popular choice of others whenever I've been here. I ate less than a third. It was woefully undercooked, i.e. raw. Unfortunately the server never checked in with how our meals were. When he eventually did, I told him I would take the rest home and cook it myself.

Lupa is a favorite and never disappoints. We went there for Father’s Day. The Escarole salad and Bavette cacio e Pepe are favorites - always great. The service is always great, very attentive.

Good food, short menu. Tables are stacked like sardine cans, we felt as tho we were on the west side bike lane. Extensive wine list. Service was great. Marco our server and Ishmael at the bar were great, as well as the manager Giuglio. We had a good time and will be back.

Lupa was recommended by a friend as a perfect place to help celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and my daughter’s 21st birthday, trip to NYC. The food was excellent, Italian at its best and as good as I’ve had anywhere, including many trips to Italy. What was exceptional though, was the atmosphere, the brilliant staff and their fantastic service and wonderful attention to detail. Thanks Lupa for a really special night for my family. A place I’d recommend if you want an amazing experience.

We ate early which I prefer there. Tables are quite close and when the room is full it's noisy. Food was fabulous , a seasonal beet salad special and chicken. Wines by the glass are somewhat limited and pricy. pasta is fabulous as well. Regular spot in the rotation

Worst Italian food I have ever had, pre sliced dry prosciutto, carbonara with egg and amatriciana that tasted like concentrated tomatoes, to end this expensive disaster a watery limoncello. Stay away from this tourist trap at all cost.

I don’t mind crowds but Lupa’s tiny main hall was beyond squooshed, the tables were literally inches apart. Service was hurried and the food wasn’t as good as we expected. I love the neighborhood and walking around after dinner was quite refreshing.

We usually dine at Lupa every time we visit NYC, and have been dedicated customers since it opened. However our last experience is likely to be the very last one, ever. Most upsetting- the Cacio é Pepé recipe has been changed and no longer has any flavour or seemingly, any cheese. It was over cooked, oily and flaccid. We are here in February and it was amazing. No longer. Our experience and treatment by the staff was overall subpar. We had to ask for plates and cutlery. We ordered a bottle of wine only to be told they were out, and would offer us a bottle from the same region for double the price. When we declined that wonderful opportunity to be gauged, we asked for suggestions for something comparable in the same budget range ($55-60). 25 minutes later, no joy, and our salad and appetizers had already been delivered. Eventually we ordered a bottle, and the server splashed some out then plonked it (white wine) on the warm table and didn’t immediately put the bottle on ice. No one ever returned to pour more wine. Within seconds of finishing our last bites, and informed they were out of cheesecake, a bill was unceremoniously thrown, loose on the table, not even in a folder, complete with a QR code that didn’t work. We waited an additional 30 minutes until someone returned to take payment. Our expectations have been dashed and what was once a much anticipated visit to our favourite place will just have to be a memory of the past, sadly. I hope the management and ownership group puts a little bit more care and attention into training the staff and ensuring renewed quality control. It’s like no one cares anymore. Perhaps hire some of the long serving staff and bartenders back from the now defunct Otto and find some other mature, career servers who show a personal interest in the customer experience and brand maintenance. Ciao, Lupa.

We went here 5 years ago and booked it again for a special occasion this year but had a very different experience. It was HORRIBLE. We went for my partner's birthday. We ordered 3 pastas 2 of which were completely inedible because the were loaded with salt. The table behind us also returned their dishes because they were too salty. We had also wanted to do the tasting menu but had different food restrictions. Apparently both people have to get the same tasting menu, so they were not accommodating at all. After we politely picked at our pastas we ordered the cheese cake.... which is designed to look like dirt. It also tasted like dirt. Whatever cheese they use is not sweet at all. We go out a lot in NYC and this was by far the most disappointing experience we've had by a mile. We did however have a very nice server, the service was fast, and the bread was very good. But it was the only edible thing we got the whole night. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Our first visit to Lupa - celebrating our wedding anniversary. We were greeted and seated promptly. All the staff was very pleasant. Unfortunately our server seemed to have a lot of tables to take care which resulted in long gaps. I would’ve liked to enjoy a glass of wine with dinner but he never returned in time for me to order the wine. Still, it was a very nice meal. Be aware that the tables are very close together and it does get noisy.

This was a real favorite regular spot back in the day, but I think it’s seen it’s day. We ate outside where the smell of garbage and flies were distracting and should have been embarrassingly apparent to the management. The food just wasn’t well prepared. My Bronzino was bland and the vegetable sides were only okay. This place use to delight us at every meal. The staff was sweet and attentive nevertheless, though mostly new. I would welcome Lupa rising from the ashes in the future, because I have loved the place. But right now they have a very high pile of ashes to overcome.

Our waiter was okay. It took him a while to return to the table to answer questions. However once he did get there he was wonderful. He knew the answer to every and any question. We picked a sparkling that was wonderful HOWEVER LUPA needs champagne glasses. Need to drink champagne in a flute, not a wine glass. The food was incredible as always.
