Reviews For Lupi Italian Restaurant

We had a delightful evening at this restaurant on a recent trip to Bird Rock. The food and service were both excellent. My father-in-law had mentioned he was surprised when he’d ordered meatballs and the didn’t come with spaghetti, so our waitress, the chef’s niece, sent us home with a complimentary order of spaghetti and meatballs. As we were leaving, she ran out with an order of freshly made bread. I can understand why President Ford had Lupi’s cater his daughter’s wedding. It was a lovely place with wonderful people.

Our first time here and I'm so glad we came. Best authentic Italian Cuisine we've had! The lasagna was AMAZING! Mouth watering and stayed hot thru the last bite! My husband ordered a seafood pasta dish, fresh shrimp and scallops in a red sauce over angel hair pasta. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming again on our next visit! Thank you for a fabulous dinner and top of the line service!
