LUPA Osteria is a bustling Italian restaurant serving authentic food in a warm and inviting setting . Whether you want a delicious bowl of pasta on a random Tuesday, country fresh salad, wood-oven baked pizza or a big celebration dinner with friends, LUPA offers all this and more.

We pride ourselves in staying true to our Italian roots and in keeping traditional Roman cuisine alive. Each Lupa has a designated pasta making & drying room where our fresh pasta is hand-made daily. A wood fired pizza oven is used for truly authentic pizzas and for baking many other traditional dishes for that extra flavour and authenticity.

Our wines list is extensive and offers a great selection of local and imported wine, beer and spirits to accompany your food or have a beautiful cocktail at aperitivo hour!

Benvenuto!

    The artichoke risotto was a disappointment. Too much balsamic vinegar on the artichokes. Killed the taste.

    Great evening out! Just one negative: I booked a table for five and we were put on a table that was set for eight. It didn’t feel special at all. It’s all in the details. Would have appreciated the effort. Your other restaurant in Westville seems to have it spot on.

    We have been to Lupa many times before but this time we ordered a pepperoni pizza, it was dry , bland and hard. Cheese was hard, maybe it was in the oven for far too long? It lacked pepperoni, cheese and the usual tomato sauce. We had to order another meal to compensate for that bad meal. Why come out to enjoy food when we could've made a better pepperoni pizza at home? We've had pepperoni pizza at old town Italy etc but this was the worst. Our waiter was lovely.

    The cappuccino came cold and the hot chocolate. We had to keep getting up to call the waiter. Milk came after the tea was drunk. The service delivery form staff is certainly not a good standard. It was a birthday celebration and utterly disappointing.
