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!

    I booked for my partners birthday and made it clear on the dine plan reservation that it was to celebrate a birthday. We booked to sit inside but got there and were told the aircon didn’t work so we chose to sit outside. Outside the lighting is poor whilst I appreciate the ambiance they are trying to create having to use your phone flash light to read the menu is not ideal. We ordered the lasagne and chicken Alfredo. I asked for penne and got fettuccine. The lasagne was bland nothing wow and the Alfredo was also average, the actual pasta was not nice and stuck together and tasted dense. No one shared with the waitress that our booking was for a birthday celebration either. I would not choose Lupa again and left a little disappointed as I did not quite achieve what I hoped for when choosing a lupa as a nice restaurant to take my partner for his birthday.

    My wife did not receive her starter. We received our food 5 minutes after she received her starter. When I took my 1st bite, the chicken was cold. Not warm, cold.. My wife's food was also cold. Both our meals were later brought back hot but dry and stiff. Lighting was not suffecient. Very understaffed. Overall, very unpleasant experience. Will not visit Lupa again.

    I made a reservation through dine plan for 7.30pm, was only seated at 8pm at an incorrect table. The pasta was not cooked properly. I asked the manager for the bill and only received it 30 minutes later, when he eventually had it in he's hand he did not know which was even my bill, I had to repeat my order to him.
