    Very impressed with your visit to The Fat Ox. We didn't plan specifically to be there for happy hour but we took advantage of the small plates menu and ordered seven or eight different items. We thoroughly enjoyed all, the shrimp scampi dish, and the gorgonzola gnocchi were our favorites. Service was great, atmosphere was great, all in all we were very happy.

    Lupo's Italian Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with authentic Italian cuisine in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The menu is packed with classic dishes, and everything we tried was exceptional. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, and the wine selection was spot-on. We finished with a perfect tiramisu. Whether for a special occasion or a casual meal, Lupo's is a must-visit for Italian food lovers. Highly recommended!
