   Be prepared to possibly wait 30-45 minutes after your reservation for a table. The good thing is you can open a bottle of wine while you wait.

   This is my third visit to La Lupa. The food and staff are amazing. That is the good part. The bad part is the restaurant is very small and extremely noisy. I mean you can't hear table mates on the other side of the table without leaning over the table. The tables are very close to each other. You can make a lot of friends. This a BYOB which is a plus. To me a dining experience at this level you must consider all aspects of the event, food and venue. It is a balance. Which is more important. To me it's both where each one might be weighted differently depending on circumstances. But the venue and noise level is too extreme at this price point. Plus it was cold in the restaurant last night. It is with much regret that we will not visiting La Lupa going forward.

   Loud, small and crazy overpriced! $100 for skirt steak?? 0aid $60 for a pirk chop- not worth the 45 minutes it took to get it. So loud!! Not worth the $200 we paid. Super small and not worth it- just don't go!

   Excellence all around! Chad and Andrew were terrific and the meal rivaled some of our Manhattan favorites. Highly recommend!

   This was our 3rd time at La Lupa. When we made the reservation we told them we are celebrating our 38th wedding anniversary. It was NOT even acknowledged! Then we go to pay our bill with an American Express gift card that our children gave us to celebrate and the owner told the waiter he does not except gift cards! As a business owner myself I thought this was done in very poor taste and he should have come over to explain and if someone chooses to celebrate in their business it should be recognized!

   One of the best meals we’ve had in a long time! The restaurant itself is pretty small and gets very loud from being crowded. This turned us off at first, but we realized pretty quickly that it was packed because it’s outstanding. Michael was our server, and he was great. Very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended dishes that we loved. We got the fried chicken, bucatini, artichoke hearts, and strip steak. Everything was phenomenal. Highly recommend.

   Super cute and cozy place. Service was amazing as well from the hostess to our waiter who gave us a full description of the menu. Too bad they don’t have open bar but we brought our wine. Definitely will be back. The restaurant is packed, creates a cool atmosphere with great music, a bit loud but not too bad)

    The one negative is the tables are too close. I understand they want to get as many tables as possible, but it can be uncomfortable when the tables need to move so you can get out of your seat. Food and service are great. Ambiance is cool. Front of the house is very nice!
