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!

    We had a garlic and olive oil focaccia to start and then the Hake. The foccaccia was light and crispy and not too much garlic - delicious! The hake was better than we've had at a number of fish restaurants, flaky, white and tender served with spinach and good chips. We thoroughly enjoyed the venue, excellent service and the whole meal and will definitely be back.

    Our group held our year end function at Lupa. The service was excellent, the food fantastic and a great atmosphere. I will recommend Lupa any day, no matter how big or small your group is.

    The waiters knew the menu out of their head, they suggested a meal based on both my partner and my preference, and the food was very amazing for the price! Best experience!
