Lupo - Vancouver, British Columbia

First time to Lupo and it was great. We celebrated our anniversary there. Service was great! I recommend the beef carpaccio for sure.

Second time visit Lupo. Atmosphere and service are great. Food is also above average. Love how the restaurant provides a less commercial feel, instead we feel we are having a nice meal in someone’s house.

Service: ★★★★ : Their service was neither excessive nor insufficient. They were kind anyway. Mood: ★★★ : It wasn't extremely upscale; it was rather cozy. Octopus Mosaic: ★★★★★ : It was the most delicious dish. It was a very good appetizer, refreshing and stimulating the appetite. Tagliatelle Nero: ★ : It was the most expensive item on ... the pasta menu. Perhaps it used a lot of salt because it was too salty. Fettuccine: ★★★ : It tasted like a regular creamy pasta with a good truffle flavor. Overall: ★★★ : I had high expectations because this place had very good reviews, but I was disappointed that it didn't meet my expectations. I felt that the price was somewhat expensive compared to the taste, quality of the food, and the atmosphere of the restaurant. With this amount, I feel like I could go to a restaurant that is more delicious and has a better atmosphere. Since everyone has different taste preferences, I don't think other people's reviews were wrong. Just keep in mind that this is my personal opinion. Read more

Was excited to come here for the first time to celebrate our third year wedding anniversary. Unfortunately we left underwhelmed. Our waitress was new so couldn’t confidently give food recommendations but did her best, and did suggest a nice wine pairing. I asked about the burrata appetizer special and then ... said we’d have the meatballs instead. However, we then placed our order for the mains and the appetizer never came. When I brought it up, she was adamant that I hadn’t ordered any appetizer (I confirmed with my husband that he heard me do so). No apology or acknowledgment that she could possibly be wrong. Our mains were both very tasty- I had the gnocchi and my husband had the fettuccine. The tiramisu and crème brûlée were both also delicious- one of the best crème brûlée I’ve had. Overall, the food was good but I was so disappointed by the appetizer miscommunication that it kind of ruined the rest of the experience. To top it all off, they don’t do anything to acknowledge or celebrate it being a special occasion which I found very odd considering when you make a reservation, they specifically ask if you’re dining there for a special occasion. Why ask if you don’t actually do anything to acknowledge/celebrate that? A complimentary dessert or glass of bubbly would have gone a long ways. We will not likely be back. Read more

We had a reservation for an early valentines dinner the day before. The overall experience was excelent, from the welcoming entrance to the cozy beautiful interior. We ordered the wagyu beef carpaccio to start; which was fresh, bright and exactly what I wanted. The lamb shank with risi+bisi was beautifully done, ... fat rendered perfectly; not over or dry in the slightest. The hints of lemon in the risi bisi paired with the lamb wonderfully, also plating was classic and clean with clear attention to detail. We also had a seafood taglierini dish that was shocklingly fresh and a heaping portion. Was honestly shocked how big this plate was, she loved it. Service was prompt and delightful, had a wonderful dinner we will be back! Read more
