We had lunch here for my hubby's birthday celebration with the family. We actually phoned before hand and spoke to a lady about reservation but when we got there it's like they didn't know about the reservation at all. We had the salmon pasta, seafood risotto, lupa pasta, and hake with the sides. The food was good and very big portions, the waitress was attentive and friendly (thanks, Busi! ) and they gave my husband a little dessert for his birthday. All in all it was a good experience - was just a bit concerned. There was a tall guy, brown hair (I don't know if he was the owner or the manager but he was wearing a grey shirt on Sunday, 25 February) he checked on the other tables several times, had a chat with them but he NEVER checked up on us even once and just walked past us everytime. That was the only thing that was disappointing, I hope this can be corrected for future customers in your restaurant. EDIT: The manager called to sincerely apologize and offered us free desserts for our next visit. This was done just minutes after the review was posted. We really do appreciate the personal approach and effort from Lupa's side. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 200–250 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
Had a wonderful date night here. The breadsticks are A+! The waitress we had wasn't the friendliest, but it was a bit later on a Friday evening, so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for likely being tired. There was an order slip mishap with our orders, and we needed up waiting quite some time for our food to arrive, but the managers came to talk to us and were very apologetic. The pasta I had was amazing, loved the sauce, and definitely will order it again on a trip back. All in all it was a wonderfully night out imo. Overall, the atmosphere and service is really good and warming. Definitely would recommend 👌🏻 Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 200–250 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Alfredo

I recently visited this Italian restaurant for the first time on a Saturday, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The restaurant had a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere, making it a suitable place for both friends and family gatherings. The staff, including the waiters and managers, were polite and provided good service throughout our visit. As for the food, the pastas were exceptionally delicious. The flavors were rich, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. However, I must mention that their gourmet pizza with nachos on top was decent but not outstanding compared to other pizza restaurants. It's worth noting that if the menu does not explicitly state that the pizza comes with cheese, it won't be included. So, if you prefer cheese on your pizza, ensure that it is listed on the menu. The portion sizes of the dishes were reasonable. We left the restaurant feeling satisfied, and we even had enough leftover pizza for a takeout. It's worth considering if you're looking for a place where you can enjoy a good meal and potentially have leftovers for later. All in all, this Italian restaurant is definitely worth a try. If you're in the mood for pizza, I would recommend going for their classic options rather than the gourmet ones. And remember to double-check the menu to ensure you get the desired toppings, especially cheese. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 500+ Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Arrived with lots of parking available just before 18h00. Were friendly met by the door and asked seating preferences. Our waitress Pamela a trainee did very well in talking all our orders correctly and following the rules of the restaurant. She didn’t even want to bring me just a cold drink without a new glass. Very friendly. House rules she replied. Music creates a calming atmosphere and ambiance. Food was well prepared and the cheese wheel was an experience not easily forgotten. Managers also inquired how the food was and pitched in when waitresses was busy at other tables. Was not disappointed I can really recommend Lupa for anyone who wants a romantic experience and good food and wine.

Lovely environment. Wonderful manager who constantly checks in to ensure everything is perfect. The food was most definitely perfect! And the service was impeccable. The waitress was extremely friendly and was on top of our every need. Without us even having to ask, she predicted our needs. Service was fast! Will definitely be back to try all the pasta!

Fantastic restaurant specialising in Italian food. I however had their calamari with chips and I can honestly say its probably one of the best I have recently had. Their chips are spectacular and different. The light fog water sprayers make sitting outside comfortable even in the heat. Service was great and the restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. It was our first time here but we will most certainly visit again.. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 500+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
The food is excellently cooked. The ambience is good. The staff is on point. The service is ok. Not that much variety on the menu especially on the dessert menu. They don't serve the famous Malva pudding 🤞🙆‍♀️. The place does get a bit crowded but it's because of the good food they serve. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner
