Wow what a huge disappointment. We waited 1h30min for our food to arrive, when it eventually came 1 of the orders was incorrect. I ordered an aubergine vegetarian dish and meatballs arrived. The manager, with whom we had already spoken to regarding the extremely long wait, assured us that it would be a few minutes to bring me the correct dish as they have them prepared. While I waited my son and daughter started their meal. My daughter's meal was full of meat but my son's hardly had any. The sauce was watery and rather bland. My dish arrived and it looked appealing but it was ice cold in the middle it was obvious that it had been thawed then heated but only the top layer was warm. We called the manager again who was rather sarcastic and basically told us to go. I tried to explain that we weren't being unreasonable and that my food was still frozen in the middle but his attitude was not what I would have expected when they were at fault...just to note the table next to us got up and walked out as they too were frustrated by the long wait. Such a pity as we were really looking forward to going here and this ruined our evening.

My favourite restaurant, have visited quite a few times now. I always go for their trio of stuffed pasta (vegetarian) and it's so delicious - pizza is a win as well, and they also have great-tasting cocktails. We love to go for the Sunday - Monday pizza special, which is a great save! I have to admit, every time we have been there, their service isn't super fast (a tad bit slow)/ however it isn't really something that bothers us that much, as the staff is always friendly and food is worth the wait.

Excellent food and service. I had the Porcini Panzerotti and it was extremely tasty. A mushroom flavour overload. And the Wilted Spinach with Butter & Parmesan on the side was delicious. Highly recommended dish.

Food was great but the service was slow. I understand that it was Mother's Day and that they were busy,but to wait an hour and a half for you food was a bit long. They were very accommodating when I needed to change the number of people around the table.

Don't often venture out for graze in the Northern pastures, but when we do, we do it with gusto.Googled some of the eateries that side and the parm wheel always been on the radar, so found Lupa Osteria which does a lil homemade pasta and the infamous parmesan wheel Carbonara.Sexy spot with modern decor and nice touches with their branding and modern New York style booth seating etc.Was quiet for lunch this day but service attentive and good knowledge on the produce and dishes.Opted for the spinach ball fettuccine with chilli, creamy and good but could have bit more vooma flavour wise. Bolognese had a bit of a creamy base, but was extremely moreish with great flavours.We also got the waitress to fire up the parm wheel and had a bit of the Carbonara- great little display and worth the excursion, was good, hearty, creamy and have ticked it off the bucket list *is on the pricier side, but was worth trying.Fresh condiments to bolster the pastas or pizzas if needed.Pizzas also looked really good, but for another time.

We had a reservation booked for 7PM this evening and when arriving, we stood at the door for 5 minutes unattended. When someone attended to us, we were told that they do not have seats for us because they had overbooked (no call or email to let us know prior). I then asked if we could sit at what looked like an open seat and we were told we could go seat ourselves. After 10 minutes of sitting at the table, we had not been greeted by any staff or given any menus; at this point we decided to leave instead.I understand that 7PM on a Friday is a busy time for restaurants and we were naturally expecting to wait a bit but not being able to commit to a customers reservation or do the basics like greeting and seating your customer with a menu was quite disappointing after friends had recommended Lupa to us.

Had to be a 5 for me...Not just for the really good food, but the amazing service.We really enjoyed our starters and mains, in hindsight we ordered too much food but everything was delicious.The service was amazing, we were well taken care of and it was prompt and efficient. My wife needed the ladies, which is in the centre and not the restaurant itself and the waitress walked her there and then waited for her and walked her back.
