    Excellent service and food! Every dish was so flavorful, and the portions were spot on. Fiona was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through our first dining experience. The tables are quite close together, but it was still an intimate setting. Would highly recommend as a date night spot!

    Fantastic meal all around. Roman gnocchi is always a must, the artichoke appetizer was delicious as well. The pizzas and pasta speak for themselves and are some of the best in NJ. The pistachio tiramisu was a great finish to an amazing meal. When my wife and I are celebrating special occasions, we always find ourselves at La Lupa. Keep up the great work.

    Our food was great as always and with the help of our server Micheal he helped us with options to pair and make everything work together. He was extremely knowledgeable and knows exactly what he is talking about because our meal was amazing with his recommendations. Everything is great on that menu, you can never go wrong with whatever they come up with. I will consistently recommend this place and be a reoccurring customer.

    The food at la Lupa was delicious however, the restaurant was very dark…difficult to see menu and very loud! Overall, we enjoyed the experience but not a place for conversation ❤️
