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!

    The kids all enjoyed their pasta dishes. I ordered the chargrilled sirlon which was a bit of a disappointment. The risotto was salty and there was no char on the steak. It was not a good quality steak for the price. All in all 11 out of 12 dishes were good.

    Service was outstanding, stuff members are greate and serving very fast. But unfortunately compared to to the last 2 years suddenly food quality are dropped and this is very disappointing. We use to love your snails - this year the taste was not the same, very flaky and not creamy. Pizza was undercooked, pasta was soggy and overcooked and not very tasty , taste was not there at all like it used to to be.

    One of my favourite restaurants. The lady serving us was on point and very friendly…she made it a great experience. My son ate there for the first time and loved the Lupa signature dish. Overall 10/10
