Lupetto

I really like the food here. The Neapolitan style pizza is great. The steak with egg for brunch was smokey and the potatoes had a perfect crisp from the bacon fat. The pasta was decadent, with plenty of sauce, and the melon gazpacho was good but didn't wow me. The ricotta cheesecake was fresh, and it had a great texture and flavor. All the portions were filling. The decoration is pleasant and airy. The staff was very friendly.

The food was fantastic. The girl who served us was incredibly friendly and helpful. We shared the half slow-roasted chicken, which came with roasted potatoes, Garganelle Nero, and asparagus. For dessert, we had a chocolate mousse with hazelnut and amaretto whipped cream. The portions were generous, and it was more than enough for us to share.

We had a wonderful meal and a great experience at Lupetto. It's amazing to see what they have done with the old space, beautiful and very comfortable. We started with cocktails, which were excellent, particularly their Old Fashioned. The charred Caesar salad was excellent as was the Octopus. The crespelle was unique and delicious. The dry aged rib eye was phenomenal, perfectly cooked with great flavor from the wood burning grill. We all had a great time and will definitely be back, it's hard to believe it just opened.

Fantastic Italian restaurant in NoMad. The restaurant in beautiful, a very classy and spacious interior. The hostess was welcoming and our server was friendly and attentive. The General Manager even checked in, which was a nice touch. Our cocktails were tasty and the food was very good. The margherita pizza, slow roasted chicken and filet were excellent. The sides are also large enough for two people. Great spot for a very nice dinner.

Service was top notch throughout dinner with a great atmosphere to match. Quite impressed with the salad, if only I can some something similar at home, I may eat more greens. I tried the lemon flavor pasta to be adventurous…great texture but a little too sour for me. At least now I know I don’t like extra tartness in my pasta. Boneless ribeye was enjoyable, perhaps just slightly below a high end steak house in terms of cut. Not the cheapest for what you get, but hey I still think it’s worth it.

Love the space - Italian cafe - bustling and lively but not overly loud. Food was great - shared the eggplant, the chopped salad, lemon/pistachio pasta, and the filet mignon (which was excellent). Only disappointment was the olive oil cake which was too sweet and rich.

Food was very well seasoned and the flavors weren't subtle. I ordered a daily special - a mushroom and truffle pasta (note: the pasta in the photo normally comes with parmesan but I asked for the parmesan to be served on the side) - along with the arancini and chocolate mousse. I would recommend all of it. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

We had the filet mignon, the chitarra pasta, and the crespelle. I thought the filet mignon was ok, doesn't really stand out. The chitarra was good too but I had hoped the pistachio taste would come out more. I really liked the crespelle, a bit too salty, but I think it has the most personality. For desert, we had the panna cotta and that was fine.

I came by recently for a very lovely dinner with a friend; we had reservations for around 7pm on a Sunday, and there were still plenty of tables available when we arrived then. To start, we got an order of the arancini and an order of the garlic knots (one of the specials that our waiter shared with us) to share. The arancici was not bad - not too heavy / oily, and a good contrast between the crispy exterior and creamy risotto on the inside. I felt that the hints of tomato fell a bit flat. I really loved the garlic knots - they were light and fluffy with a very strong (in a good way) garlic flavour throughout. Definitely would recommend if they have this available. For our mains we shared a pasta, the "al lupetto", and a half order of the slow roasted chicken. The pasta was wonderfully delicious; the 'nduja sauce was yummy and its savouriness paired really well with the juicy ground meat and sprinkled stracciatella. The chicken was good, too - a good balance of white and dark meat, very tender and juicy (and a deliciously well-cooked skin), and the accompanying jus was not too salty but added a good depth to overall flavour. The chicken came with a side of potatoes which were great, but also I love potatoes so as long as they are decently cooked I will adore them. (But these ones really were great. Soft on the inside, not too salty or heavy from the frying.) All in all, I thought it was a fantastic meal, and the price point for the quality of food (not to mention the quantity - the bread potatoes really were quite filling) was pretty reasonable. Would come again!

Lupetto is a brand new restaurant brought to you by the La Pecora Bianca family. The atmosphere is classic/old school Italian vibes with a modern menu featuring delicious brick oven creations. We started with the Venetian Spritz drink, which was a fabulous take on the classic aperol spritz. We split a few different items to try it all: Things we loved: -Norma Pizza: the pizzas here are very flavorful and perfectly cooked with a fluffy, chewy crust. -Eggplant Involtini: the brick oven does a good job here at giving this dish a fabulous, smoky flavor. Things that were just okay: -A La Chitarra Pasta: it was decent, but nothing superb. It was a nice balance between sweet (from the lemon) and savory. But for some reason I don't think they used homemade pasta here-the noodles were flat and fully cooked, not thick and al dente like we expected. -Sweet Potatoes: these were tasty but nothing to write home about. Overall, we quite enjoyed our meal at Lupetto and I'd love to see more vegetarian pastas on the menu!

I was only here to grab a quick drink before heading out to Zaytinya for Restaurant Week. I guess this place is a sister location of La Pecora Bianca. The place looked very elegant. Fancy dining or business lunches/dinners. We simply ordered a Rosé and Pinot Grigio while we killed some time. Drinks did the job, of course. We just didn't spend as much time here, but looked at the menu and found a few interesting things in case we ever do return.

Hands down, the best meal I had this visit. As it usually happens, my visit here was purely accidental. I knew I wanted to be in this area for lunch. My eating buddy (nephew) didn't have a preference. I didn't want to settle so we kept walking until I saw this spot. The first thing I noticed was the photo of the wolf. We were instantly sold. They seated the two of us in the back room that looked like where people have private parties. We kinda felt special. No one else was seated in that room the whole time we were there so it looked like we were VIPs. We ate family style. Started with the arancini and radicchio. The salad was a little chewy, but that's radicchio for ya. Our mains were the sotto burger and chitarra. That burger was perfection. I have zero notes. There's nothing like a boring looking burger that tastes out of this world. The pasta was amazeballs despite it being a little extra al dente. That's not really my jam, but the lemon zest made up for it. Ended with the olive oil cake that I nearly wanted to get seconds of. Despite the little hiccups which is more related to preference, they get a 10/10 from me because the service was impeccable. It was like sitting where they sat us got us extra tlc. My glass was never half full because someone always came by to refill it even though they left the bottle on the bar cart next to our table. S/O to the bartender for making quite possibly the best negroni I've ever had. You bet your ass I'm going to make it a point to come by on my next visit.

Venturer into the city this week and had a lovely catch up dinner at Lupetto! We ordered Burrata to start, Ravioli and Chitarra as mains, and a side of charred broccolini to get some greens in. Everything was really good, but the ravioli and broccolini were the stand out dishes.  Lupetto also provided focaccia to each table on the house, which went perfectly with the burrata. Also, don't ignore the squash that comes with the burrata! It tastes extra delicious if you combine the squash and bread in every bite. Although they're not marked, there is at least one veggie friendly dish in each section of the menu and multiple vegetarian pizzas and pastas.  Last, but not least, the service was amazing. Friendly and attentive without being overbearing or awkward. Overall, a great option in Nomad!

Food 3.75 Came with high expectations and left not wowed. Among all our dishes, only the Charred Octopus has the wood fire flavor within. Pretty good but the presentation could be more thoughtful. Ricotta Pizza - not a fan, it's a thick layer of ricotta with lemon flavor. The dough was kinda dense and chewy, feel like it's not risen enough. Ribeye for One - not worth $72, overly fatty, nothing special. Served as steak on a place, making me feel like I should have just make this at home. Got the Bone Marrow Reduction sauce but not really need it as the steak was quite flavorful and salty already. Pork Porterhouse - usually pork could be tough but it is done well here. Pretty impressed. Mushroom - small portion, little too heavy on butter and salt. Brussel Sprouts - good but slightly greezy. Panna Cotta - not bad. Cocktails were okay. Chaparral was more like a juice. N&F was okay, small and sweet. Old Fashion was boozy on the rock.

The Arancini and Fritto Misto were great starters, both recommended by our server. The Arancini was more filling with fried rice than fried rice with skimpy filling. The Fritto Misto had a nice spread from calamari to asparagus to broccolini to other stuff my inexperienced palette couldn't place. Raviolo Carbonara was amazing and had a great lemony zest to it. The Al Lupetto, again at servers recommendation was delicious. Would definitely recommend. A great meal to end a great trip on a high note.

My friend and I decided to come here for dinner after a workout class, and it was pretty easy to walk in. The venue is pretty spacious and can accomodate sizable groups. We ordered the Sopressata pizza and the White Bolognese. The pizza was very light and had great flavor. The White Bolognese dish isn't a pasta dish and appreciated the wait staff to let us know before ordering. We decided to try it anyways. The crepe texture was interesting and unique. Overall it was a good experience. The wait staff was friendly and the food came out right away.

Wonderful restaurant in a convenient location. I tried the arancini, Norma pizza, and ravioli. Everything was delicious and I can't wait to try more from the menu. Bonus points for the paw print on their Ice cubes too!

On the corner of 25th Street and 5th Ave, we're so happy we were able to walk in for dinner here. We sat outside in the corner and was a cool NYC night. We ordered a couple of pasta dishes that our server recommended, and he let my wife sample a wine for dinner. The service here was extremely welcoming and friendly! The food was absolutely phenomenal, and we are definitely coming back on our next visit!!

I came with four girlfriends on a Monday at 7:15 and it was pretty packed! The tables are spaced out nicely so you don't feel packed in like you might at other NYC restaurants. It feels warm and cozy! The food was delicious. We started with a burrata and charred salad - the burrata was OK, but the salad was a standout - warm and creamy. We then dove into two pizzas, the Norma and the Ricotta. They were decent (I'm biased because I don't like pizza much to begin with. I know). But the real highlights were the broccoli, the half chicken and the bucatini pasta. The broccoli was acidic and sweet, and the half chicken was juicy and tender. The pasta was a perfect al dente. For dessert, the chocolate cake blew our expectations and the sorbet was a nice light touch at end. And huge shoutout to our servers, who took great care of us all night!

Trendy new Italian steakhouse and pizzeria in NoMad/Flatiron, whose menu features their wood-fired stove - Neapolitan style pizza, homemade pastas, steaks, fish, and chicken. We particularly loved the Sopressata Pizza (5 stars) and Arancini (4.5 stars), and the 50-day dry-aged New York Strip was also fantastic (4 stars), though benefited from the peppercorn sauce we added. Fig crostini with vanilla gelato was also fantastic (4 stars). Service was friendly, but still working out some kinks as they just opened a week ago, so we'll give them some grace here. It seems they are still hiring a sommelier and the staff need time to learn the menu. Ambience is nice and right in line for what you'd expect. I had their house Old Fashioned ($21) and a glass of Barolo ($25), both were delicious. Prices are a bit above average, even for the neighborhood. See photo of menu, but some examples include: Arancini - $18 Burrata - $21 Salads: $18-$24 Pizzas: $24-$26 Pastas: $23-29 Filet Mignon 10oz - $58 New YorK Strip 14oz - $60 Ribeye 40oz - $165 Porterhouse 45oz - $185 Lamb Saddle Chop - $68 Contorini (Sides); $14-$16 Cocktails: $18-$21 Definitely worth checking out, and I'll definitely come back for the pizza.

The soppressata pizza cured me of my fall-to-winter transition blues. Lupetto (meaning "little wolf", which was an accurate description of me as I ate my slices) is a warm, cozy place with dishes focused on the centerpiece of the restaurant: the wood-fired oven. Now, the soppressata pizza...there is something about the sweet onion + salty salami + slight acidity from the tomatoes and oven's char that works so well. The crust was a balanced level of chewy (I could've done with a slightly thicker crust, but that's just me). This place is perfect for date night, post-drinks din with coworkers or colleagues, or friends.

My friend and I stopped by for dinner after a workout class, and it was generally a very enjoyable experience. The staff were so friendly and were attentive, even as the restaurant was getting busy. We ordered the Sopressata pizza and the White Bolognese. The pizza was cooked wonderfully, and the sauce specifically was so delicious. The White Bolognese dish was so interesting - instead of pasta, the sauce was prepared with a crepe. The sauce was also delicious, really bringing out the nice mushroom flavor. All in all, this was a lovely new place with lovely ambiance, well prepared food, and good service. Would definitely be willing to come back again to try the other dishes!

Went as a party of four to try the new wood fired Italian steakhouse, and none of us were disappointed! We had a reservation at 6pm and we're promptly seated at our table inside the large yet still intimate feeling dining room (great for a date night). The service throughout the night was great - very attentive, not pushy, and made sure we were constantly filled with water, had clean plates / utensils, and even folded napkins when someone got up. Food-wise, since there was four of us, we decided to sample two of the meats (NY Strip + lamb Saddle), get a pizza (the spresatta), the charred grilled octopus, and mushrooms to accompany. We decided to skip the pastas (although looked delicious) due to wanting to maximize trying various wood fired prepared food. Everything we had was divine, with the NY Strip being our unanimous favorite (also fairly reasonable priced). We also tried three of the sauces, with bearnaise and the bone marrow reduction being our favorites. We were too full to try dessert, but will happily do next time I'm back!

When we walked in the place was empty and smelled like a fire pit. I don't enjoy smelling like my food when I walk out. We opted for outside. The service was below average, not attentive or timely. The food was not authentic Italian, and the spot felt like a tourist trap. Overpriced and underdelivering. Skip this for far better Italian places.

I went to Lupetto with a group of friends right when it opened. Was honestly so pleasantly surprised by everything. I know it's owned by the same group as La Pecora Bianca so obviously it was going to be good, but I was WOW'ed by ~almost~ every item on the menu. The ambiance and service were also great -- it was dimly lit, not too crowded, and the waiters were all amazing! Charred Caesar ~~ Delicious. Perfect sauce to lettuce ratio, and the char was a nice touch. Sopressata Pizza ~~ Absolutely loved this. The dough was fluffy and had the perfect consistency. The sauce to cheese ratio was also perfect. Probably one of my new pizzas. Ravioli ~~ This was amazing. Based on butternut squash. Super fluffy. Super flavorful. Butter Beans ~~ I honestly did NOT expect to like this as much as I did. I could NOT stop eating. Get this. Potatoes ~~ Really solid and really good. Well seasoned. Arancini ~~ I'd skip this. The rice was not cooked to my liking and the flavor was not the best. Pork Porterhouse ~~ I really liked it. Well cooked and the sauce was delicious. Melanzane ~~ Good! Solid item. Not my favorite melanzane but still good! The desserts were just OK. The ricotta cheesecake was my favorite but I'd skip the rest.

Short review: Excellent side dish (squash) and desserts. Small but tasty pasta. Don't get the pizzas. I went to this new Italian place; a sister restaurant to La Pecorina Bianca; earlier in the evening with one of my groups. We sat close to the door and because it was cold, there was occasionally a gust of wind but the door closes well so it wasn't too big of a deal. The waitstaff was friendly and did a good job explaining dishes and recommending cocktails. The cocktail menu is much larger downstairs at their bar Sotto and I wish the upstairs had the humorously named The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, but I digress. The Sarrono Sour with amaretto, bourbon, lemon, and sugar was $21 and it was alright. The bourbon flavor as well as the sour flavor was much stronger than the amaretto and if I wanted a bourbon sour, I likely would just go get a well drink for much less. The sour cherry was a nice touch. I wouldn't recommend it and especially not for $21 and would presumably stick with a beer or something next time. They gave us some Focaccia at the start which came with olive oil and ricotta cheese which was a nice touch. The focaccia had a pleasant texture and the cold ricotta went well with it. I personally didn't get an appetizer but I had told the server that they could bring out the side dish whenever it was ready and as it came out the same time as the appetizer, I might as well list that first. I went with the Delicata Squash for $15 with honey, brown butter, and pumpkin seeds and this was outstanding and honestly better than my main dish. The squash was roasted perfectly with a bit of sweetness from the honey but not too much and there was some satisfying crunch from the pepitas/pumpkin seeds. The portion size was also generous for the price. In terms of the other people at the table, the only dish I tried was the Eggplant Involtini with smoked tomato, ricotta, and mozzarella. It's not listed on the menu online but appears to be on the Sotto menu and I presume they recently added it but it's cheaper than downstairs being $18 instead of $25 (I presume the portion downstairs is bigger but who knows.) This was pretty tasty with a pretty solid tomato sauce and the portion was fine for an appetizer and could be shared with another. Other people got various salads to start including the the Charred Caesar ($22) Chopped Salad ($20,) and the Misticanza ($18) which they all enjoyed. As the photos of the pasta looked a bit small, I went with one of the Neapolitan style pizzas as my main dish which I guess was a bit of a mistake. I got the Ricotta with pecorino, lemon, and Calabrian chili crisp for $24. The flavor was kind of one note which was disappointing. I thought that there would be a bit more chili as well as more lemon as this mostly highlighted the excellent quality ricotta. The crust was solid though I would say that the pizza dough was a bit less fluffy than some other spots; even cheaper ones. I tried a bit of the Sopressata pizza with sweet & hot dry salmi, red onion, and oregano for $26. This was much better flavored although I would say got it was a bit salty. I also tried a very little bit of the Bucatini Amatriciana (essentially a spiced tomato sauce made with pork jowl/guanciale) which was $27 which was a small portion but the flavor was fantastic and I definitely would preferred it even if I would have been a bit more hungry. The rest of the group outside of one other who also got the Sopressata also got pasta. This included another order of the bucatini along with the Chitarra ($26) and Crespelle ($29) which they both enjoyed. In short, stick with the pastas even if the portions are smaller though apparently the best thing here is the Pork Porterhouse. A couple of us went with dessert which are all $14. I went with the Seasonal Crostata after asking what the flavor was. Crostata is essentially a baked tart and the seasonal flavor was pineapples cooked with rum. This was outstanding. The tart texture was excellent having some crispiness to it but not too much. The filling was sweet but not too sweet. This also came with some ice cream on top which had a sauce on it which I'm presuming was the same reduction the pineapples were roasted/cooked in. I tried the Panna Cotta which is interestingly made with a chocolate layer on top along with some candied hazelnuts which was pretty good and not too sweet and the last person had the Spiced Olive Oil Cake which they liked a lot and slightly compared the spices to that of a carrot cake. If the main dish was as good as the rest, I would likely be leaving this place with 5 stars but the pizza definitely had a lot of faults. The drink was also not too good for the price but I generally don't factor that in that much outside of cocktail bars. The appetizer and the dessert were both outstanding. This is basically the literal definition of a restaurant I would round up to a 4.5 but there are no 4.5 stars so 4 it is. 4.3.

A splendid restaurant experience. Everything was well executed from the ambiance to the food to the staff. Definitely a must hit restaurant in Nomad. I would say there wasn't anything SUPER creative about the menu, but the overall experience was top notch. The fact that they wood grill everything is a pretty big plus. Ordered a lot for 3 people: Grilled artichoke - served over excellent labneh. The vegetables were perfectly cooked Spicy Caesar - pretty good. Not spicy at all Bibb - a very good salad. Would make for a good entree salad with a protein. Better than the spicy Caesar Al Lupetto Pasta - would highly recommend if going for pasta. Noodles are huge. Not the biggest portion, but still ample Sopressata Pizza - great flavor but the dough needed a little work. Think the dough needed more salt and needed to be in the oven longer. Pretty chewy NY Strip - perfectly cooked medium rare. The side was meh. Came with a solid peppercorn sauce. Personally would've liked to try the salsa verde Salmon chop - also perfectly cooked in a great sauce. #2 piece of salmon I've eaten this year Crispy potatoes - needed a sauce of some kind (ketchup / aioli). They were pretty rough to eat alone and def cut up my mouth Broccolini - alright. Would've liked more cheese 2x pistachio gelato - amazing. Some of the better gelato I've had 1x chocolate gelato - didn't try, but heard it was ok Old fashioned - very good Diaveletto (?) - tequila + mezcal cocktail - excellent Barolo - great wine by the glass but expensive at $28 a pop Overall would definitely love to come back. Good for a business dinner

The service was so warm and friendly and the interior of the restaurant is beautifully laid out. I highly recommend ordering an array of dishes, especially trying out the pastas!

I've spent a few days reflecting on my experience at Lupetto before deciding to write this review. After much thought and discussions with friends and colleagues, I feel it's important to share what happened, especially given my deep respect for the service industry, where I've worked for many years and still have close friends and family involved. The events of that evening were deeply disappointing, particularly given the industry's general professionalism and inclusiveness. Last Saturday, my partner and I were celebrating our anniversary at Lupetto. I hadn't seen her in a while, so it was a special night for us. The restaurant was busy and loud at 9 pm, but the host kindly accommodated my request to move tables so that we could sit closer to one another. We appreciated that gesture, and the evening seemed off to a good start. As we enjoyed our drinks and dinner, we were simply being affectionate--holding hands, sharing a few kisses, nothing out of the ordinary for any couple enjoying a night out. I'm a people watcher, and I couldn't help but notice the couple seated across from us. They barely spoke to one another and had cold body language, but I didn't think much of it at the time. However, as the night progressed and the restaurant began to empty, a woman who appeared to be a hostess or bar manager approached us. She told us, "Excuse me, do you mind? There are families trying to have dinner here, and this is inappropriate." I was stunned. I've dined at countless restaurants in NYC and Miami--some big-name spots, some more casual, but never, in all my years, had I experienced something like this. My partner went to use the restroom, and I took a moment to survey the room. There were no "families" anywhere nearby--just the couple across from us, three people at the bar, and a few tables in the back. Confused and upset, I approached the woman (whose name I believe was Dion) and asked for clarification. She admitted that the couple across from us had complained and said they were "uncomfortable." When I pressed further, asking if other couples were addressed the same way, Dion lied and claimed to have spoken to another couple, but I knew no such couple existed. It was clear to me at that moment that my partner and I were being singled out, and it felt like discrimination because we are a lesbian couple. The restaurant was nearly empty, and there was absolutely no reason for this intervention. I was furious--not just for the unnecessary interruption of our evening, but for the clear bias in how we were treated. I am disgusted by how Dion handled the situation and her blatant dishonesty. I will not be returning to Lupetto, and I will be sure to share this experience with others in the area--whether they are straight, queer, or otherwise. No one should support a restaurant that treats patrons in such a discriminatory and disrespectful manner. Lupetto has lost my respect and my business for good.

Great ambience, lovely place.. food was pretty good, but the service is the top notch one that makes me write this review. Kuddos for the service team!

Food 7/10 Decent food. The squash was the star of the show. The ribeye was smoked well, but a little too tough even though we asked for medium rare. The bucatini was not flavorful at all until i added some salt and pepper lol but the texture!! Was great!! Was a great fan of that. The la rosita drink had way too much dry vermouth so i asked for a dirty martini instead but that also had too much vermouth lacked balance. Atmosphere 7/10 Super vibey date spot, but unfortunately once it got more packed it somehow got suuuuper loud and i could barely hear. Service 6/10 It was quite slow at times, which was disappointing considering I read good reviews about their service.

Came here on a Saturday evening with a friend, was easy to get reservations the day off on Resy. Wine is highly overpriced, $25 for an average glass of Pinot noir just doesn't make sense. The best things of the meal were the Arancini and the Chocolate cake for dessert. The pasta (Amriticana) and Pizza (white), both were pretty forgettable. Didn't get to try the burned Caesar salad, which looked good! Somewhat iffy about coming back here anytime soon.

Loved the decor and vibes. Services was ok but not great. Went with a group of four for my bday dinner. Everything was delicious including dessert and wine.

On a sunny day, I had the perfect business lunch outdoors. We kicked things off with a bottle of Sancerre - dry, but so incredibly smooth and refreshing. From the $34 Prix-Fixe, I went for the shaved vegetable salad and their Lupetto Whopper - juicy, packed with flavor, and paired with crispy, salty fries. My friend's Chittara pasta was a creamy masterpiece, and the Arancini we shared were just divine. Every bite was exquisite, and for the price, it was more than satisfying! Service was prompt and attentive. I'll be back for round two, no question.

I'd probably give them 3.5 Stars if there were half star ratings, but I didn't really want to give them 4, because for me 4 stars usually means I would go back. The food was solid, the service was good. Nothing really negative to say about the place, but it was just ok, not anything special. We got the Arancini, the Lupetto "Whopper", the Cavatelli and roasted sweet potatoes. Again, everything tasted fine, just wasn't blown away, and with an Italian restaurant like every 3 blocks in NYC, not really worth going back.

Walked in for lunch with no expectations. Wow it was fantastic. The Ravioli Carbonara was incredible - unique and flavorful.

We discovered this place on our way to our next appointment on a Sunday after lunch. Friendly service. I enjoyed one of their pizzas. Very good taste. Quiet place at least when we were there.

Service was top notch throughout dinner with a great atmosphere to match. Quite impressed with the salad, if only I can some something similar at home, I may eat more greens. I tried the lemon flavor pasta to be adventurous...great texture but a little too sour for me. At least now I know I don't like extra tartness in my pasta. Boneless ribeye was enjoyable, perhaps just slightly below a high end steak house in terms of cut. Not the cheapest for what you get, but hey I still think it's worth it.

I went to Lupetto for the first time a month or so ago while in NYC with my sister. We arrived for our reservation with another set of sisters and were seated immediately. There is something sexy about the restaurant, although the decor isn't over the top. It sort of reminds me of what the restaurants looked like in old movies. We weren't ravenous, so we decided to order a bunch of small plates to share, but in the end probably ordered more than we intended to eat, which included: POLPETTE, RADICCHIO SALAD, FILET MIGNON, EGGPLANT INVOLTINI and I may or may not be forgetting something. My favorites were the eggplant involuting and the radicchio salad, but all of the food was great. For dessert, we shared the PANNA COTTA and the RICOTTA CHEESECAKE. Every last bite of dessert was heaven. The food at Lupetto was great, and although our server seemed to do his job begrudgingly, we tried not to take it personally.

Stopped by Lupetto on the way back to my hotel because I liked the vibe, the relaxed elegant ambiance. Fortunately we were seated even though we didn't have a reservation, and ordered the spaghetti pomodoro and broccolini. Yummmmmm. Fresh, beautiful flavors. Whereas I typically eat only 1/2 my meal, I ate everything because it was so delicious. The pasta rivals the pasta I ate in Italy !

Loved this restaurant! They seated us outside on a very nice spring night, though I absolutely loved the indoor ambiance--it was swanky and wide open and modern. The food was delish, and the bucatini was my favorite. The service was slightly slow--it seemed like our one server was in charge of the entire outdoor section--but he was very nice! Would definitely return,

Probably one of my favorite Italian places in the city. I have been twice now and enjoyed the grilled ceasar both times and arancini- the hint of lemon is perfect and fresh in the ceasar. And the pizzas are fabulous having the perfect amount of crunch in the crust but still slightly doughy in the pizza. It's dimly lit and perfect for a date night or catching up with a friend. I also found out on this visit they have a room for group events which is awesome. The service was great the first time and was even better today, and our waiter checked on us just enough. We also spoke to who I believe was the owner who asked us if we enjoyed our meal which was kind. Their whole staff is friendly and welcoming, and the food is delicious. Great spot. I'll be back!

Incredible service, delicious and unique dishes, and beautiful ambiance! Favorite dishes were the Charred Octopus and Crespelle (SO GOOD!!!! I've never had anything like it). The staff was so attentive and knowledgeable - they truly made the experience. Coming back ASAP to try the whole menu!

My family and I had lunch on Friday 12/27. Price fix deal. Amazing. By definition, "price fix" means a limited selection, but these were great insofar as they appealed to everyone at the table. As for quality of dishes, they were fantastic. Perfectly executed and (somehow) generous while also honoring a lunch portion ethic. As for service, our waiter was great. Personable, knowledgeable about the dishes and never far from our table- without being "lurking". Ambiance was great. It was mid-afternoon on a Friday, so I was not expecting a bustling crowd or clamorous cacophony of sound. Overall, a tremendous "find" for a weary travelling family freshly arrived in The City. I can't recommend this place enough!

On a cold Friday night, we snagged a reservation at Lupetto. The moment we stepped in, the lively atmosphere made us forget the cold. To warm us we started with the "Little Italy" cocktail, a great mix of bourbon, amaro and sweet vermouth. We began with the involtini, a dish that was both traditional and comforting. Next, we had the white pizza, with plenty of ricotta and a great crust which had us relishing every bite. The highlight of the evening was the butternut squash ravioli. To pair with our meal, we chose a bottle of premier cru Meursault which paired well with each course. Our evening culminated with their ricotta cheesecake leaving us completely satisfied. The service at Lupetto was impeccable. Attentive, knowledgeable, and unobtrusively present, the staff made sure our evening was seamless. In a busy Friday evening it is often hard to find a place that combines really good food, a vibrant vibe and top-notch service, but Lupetto does just that.

A very well designed place - big difference from the place that was here prior. Awesome martinis... be sure to try the oysters by the way!

After two hours in the sun walking around the flea market, I was looking for a place to have brunch. Lupetto was the perfect oasis! I chose to sit outside and Jack (who turned out to be a great waiter) brought me a tall glass of water and a glass of ice - my immediate request. I ordered the scrambled eggs cacio and pepe with a beautifully dressed salad. I specifically asked that scrambled eggs be soft and fluffly and they were perfect. The coffee kept coming - the entire experience was delightful. Superb food, attentive service, and a cool breezy table.

Had the most amazing dinner here last night! The vibe of the restaurant is so classy and romantic - great date spot! The starter bread was so fluffy and delicious! We split the spaghetti and the sopresatta pizza which were both incredible. The spaghetti is made in house, and you can definitely tell. It was so delicious. And the pizza was fantastic with a delicious crust as well! We ended with the chocolate cake which was also fantastic! The service was amazing, and Jason really made this a great experience for us! I'll definitely be back!

This place is amazing!! So glad we were able to get in last minute around the holidays. They even came around with complimentary champagne and he took me through the whole menu. We got the burrata with fig, octopus, oysters and the crespelle which was so unique - basically crepe pasta - a must try. The whole experience was divine, will definitely be back :)

My first night in New York I went to Lupetto with my mom who was helping me move into my new apartment. After a long day of travel we each ordered our comfort meal - a classic Cesar salad and half chicken. Everyone loves a good cesar but this one was ballin. Great crunch in the lettuce, fresh, and a perfect ratio of parm. We also each got the chicken which was fuego - really well cooked, tender, and great flavors. the side of potatoes, similarly, slapped. Crispy. mmmmm. The only reason this restaurant gets a four not a five is because the room was so loud I had trouble hearing my mom. Im young and have fantastic hearing (which some might argue with me on - subjective statement) I love loud concerts but this restaurant was many decibels above my comfort level. Service was great and speedy but I stg the noise level in that restaurant was greater than that of the illenium concert I went to at brooklyn mirage two weeks ago. Unfort - I don't think this is totally something the restaurant can control and probably is not that loud every night but some bad luck we must've had to be sat in such a loud spot in the restaurant - something to be mindful of - don't go here with the elderly or hard of hearing. OH we also got the cheesecake - it was banging.

Made reservation last week, and being a resident of NYC, there are many many many great Italian restaurants to choose from, we thought we'd try this. Upon arrival, I saw a lockbox on the front door. Walked in, and we were greeted with a very judgmental look by a very unhappy looking host. He didn't say a word. I gave him my name, said I was early and apologized. He still didn't say a word. He then looked down at his table seating tablet, played with it for a good 30 seconds without looking up, then walked two menus to a table - still without saying word, without a smile, and with tremendous attitude. We sat, then I thought about this. If I'm going to drop a few of Benjis in this place, this was a bad and unpleasant beginning for what should be quite a different experience. So we walked out and went up to 16 E.39th St. for our anniversary. Aaah. What a world of a difference.

I am not giving this place a bad rating because of bad managers in charge, but Mark the owner if you send me a message I can tell you what happens when your not there :)

Loveeeee their Arancini!!!! Most of their pasta contains pork which I don't eat but I did have their baked half chicken and their potatoes. Also their Buratta with squash is also very delicious! Such a romantic ambiance.

A really great Italian restaurant in Flatiron. The inside is pretty big and spacious, and has an upscale yet relaxing ambiance. The margherita pizza was delicious and had a perfect wood fired crust. All of the pastas are made in house which is impressive. The bucatini Amatriciana was cooked very well and had tasty, salty bits of pork in it. The food is fairly priced, but the cocktails are $19-$20 which is a bit high for a restaurant in the area. There is also no dessert menu and only two options of which the chocolate mousse was just okay. Those things aside, I would definitely return.

This restaurant was incredible! Although it only opened about 2 months ago, they are a new staple in NYC. The service was impeccable, where the full wait staff took care of us the entire meal. They were all very attentive, polite and considerate. The overall atmosphere, and ambiance, brought about a comfortable feeling. There was a lot going on, and lots of people eating (even for a Monday night), but it felt as though we had our own private space. The food...my gosh the FOOD! Overall incredible and each bite was perfection. The favorites being the Meyer lemon pasta, New York strip (cooked to perfection, and the stuffed cheese balls. Everything was fantastic and we will for sure be back! Thank you Lupetto!

An all around wonderful place. Great ambience, attentive, friendly, accommodating staff, from the hostess to the waiters (Nicholas & Wade), busboys, and the managers. Delicious food and great latte. Will absolutely be back to try the steaks.

We were traveling and needed food desperately, we knew places were busy as it was a Saturday night but decided just to see if there happened to be a table, if not we would move on. The very nice hostess said there were no tables but asked if we would like to sit at the bar, we said yes. When we got to the bar, my husband ordered a drink and I asked to look at a menu to snack on an appetizer or dessert. The bartender looked me dead in the eye then said "Eating at a bar??? Ooooooookay." I NEVER write poor reviews, but I've never had a bartender make me feel SO stupid, and incredibly confused. I honestly did not know it was frowned upon to have a light fare at a bar in NYC. We paid for my husbands drink and left immediately.
