"Situated along the tony new District Wharf, Lupo Marino features Italian pizzas, pastas, and seafood that fit the riverside location; Lahlou called opening there a "no-brainer" despite the development's high overhead. I note that he pins Lupo Marino's early success on a commitment to a casual neighborhood vibe—service, good food, and middle-range prices—in line with his other restaurants (Lupo Verde, Lupo Verde Osteria, Tunnicliff's Tavern), and that he was relieved rather than worried when the Wharf ultimately increased business across Southwest." - Travis Mitchell
