Lupa 170 Thompson Street, Manhattan, New York 10012

"Great food. Great service. Quite busy, but that shouldn't be a deterrent. Try the pasta and wine pairing. You will not be disappointed."

"The food and the service is fantastic at Lupa! Five stars service! Our server was amazing and the atmosphere incredible, it feels like in a tratoria in Rome! the octopus and Arancini were absolutely good, and the wine list it’s out of this world! We had a perfect table next to the wall."

"I love Italian food and couldn't wait to try this restaurant. When I arrived I parked on the street not too far. When I walked in, I was greeted by James the host, and he was very nice. The restaurant was so cute! Adrian was the bartender, Marco was my server, and Ian was the GM. They were all great! I started with an espresso martini, which was great. I then had an amazing red wine. For my appetizer, I had the Arancini di Mozzarella, and it wasn't bad. It was nice and cheesey. For my meal, I got the Black Spaghetti with Spicy frutti di mare. I really enjoyed my entrée. It was very different and melted in my mouth. I really enjoyed the food, drink and service!"

"Very nice, old school Italian spot! Loved the dim lighting and vibe of the place, only thing I didn’t like was the music playing. But as for the food, enjoyed the focaccia they bring out! The wine is enough for a glass and a third. Really liked the rigatoni gricia and the paparadelle was handmade and very light! For dessert we loved the affogato and the tartufo!"

"I am glad people like this place because I am being generous with 3 stars. We ate outside which was lovely and the service was pretty good. The food on the other hand was not exactly the same. I did enjoy the bread and appetizers however strip steak and dessert had no flavor (unfortunately I am not exaggerating… no flavor). It was pretty busy so hopefully this was a one time occurrence."
