    Fantastic meal all around. Roman gnocchi is always a must, the artichoke appetizer was delicious as well. The pizzas and pasta speak for themselves and are some of the best in NJ. The pistachio tiramisu was a great finish to an amazing meal. When my wife and I are celebrating special occasions, we always find ourselves at La Lupa. Keep up the great work.

    Had the most lovely birthday dinner during the Toscono menu. Chef Liz & Co. served a fantastic dinner that had my fiancé and I stuffed to the gills (in the best way possible!!). It was such a wonderful treat to experience Tuscany through Chef Liz’s eyes! The boar ragù with fresh pappardelle was out of this world! Don’t miss out on this culinary gem!
