    Why go anywhere else when you are looking for Italian food made fresh everyday! The best food and owner and employees are all knowledgeable and friendly…Terrific experience all around.PS It was our 30 year anniversary and La Lupa is the place we chose to celebrate it and they didn’t let us down!

    Was recommended but in a place that is dark noisy with very poor music and tight seating I almost just left and went next door to Dunkin Donuts!!!!! Over priced and very limited menu so never going back! I must say the owners must have a very large friends and family as that's the only way to have this many positive reviews for this poor place!

    Excellent service and food! Every dish was so flavorful, and the portions were spot on. Fiona was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through our first dining experience. The tables are quite close together, but it was still an intimate setting. Would highly recommend as a date night spot!
