Lupo Italian Kitchen

Was hoping to go to Lupo for a while and got to go for my birthday dinner. Loved the Octopus app. It was probably the most tender I have ever had! Good bread, too. I was thrilled with my entree, Bolognese, whichhad three kinds of meat!. My wife had very good chicken parm, as well. Got a free lemon mascarpone cheesecake slice for dessert. Very nice!

Lupo Italian Kitchen in Rehoboth offered a slightly above-average dining experience. While the flavors were generally a bit bland, the pasta, though uniform in appearance (suggesting it may not be house-made), was acceptable. Unfortunately, the octopus was a letdown, characterized by a mushy texture and an old taste. On a positive note, the waitress provided excellent service.

We have been dining at Lupo for years. While the food continues to be amazing, the young hostess made our visit more than unforgettable in a bad way. She was extremely rude and when we told her the other members of the party had a major issue and have been calling multiple times but she wasn’t answering, she laughed and told us they could no longer save our table, even though two of us were present and willing to sit down and begin ordering for the group. This was after we had already said we were going to sit down and start ordering for the group. She was extremely rude (and on quite a power trip for being so young). Luckily I found a manager to speak to who was more than accommodating. I would recommend better training your hostess. On a positive note, the lobster pasta was amazing however due to this poor experience, we will not be returning.

Must try their homemade pastas! Gnocchi dish was dream worthy. If you’re in town on Wednesday go for half off pasta dishes, otherwise dinner can be kind of pricey for the portion. Premium experience otherwise. Give this a try if you’re looking for something other than a seafood forward dining.

Lupo is a great restaurant for a nice dinner out! They had daily deals that were a very nice surprise. The food came out quickly, the servers were very nice, and the food was fantastic! We looked up reviews of the food before going and wasn't sure if the Lobster Bucatini would be saucy enough but it was! Definitely would recommend.

One of our favorite places to go when we are celebrating. Yes, it’s a restaurant inside a hotel but don’t let that deter you. SoDel does an amazing job with every one of their restaurant concepts. The food here is just amazing! Highly recommend the Chicken Parmesan. My wife is a fan of their Cacio e Pepe. There are several other dishes we have tried and all of them are great. The wait staff here is always very friendly and helpful. Some of them I know from around town and they are genuinely nice people. Can’t say enough about them. The restaurant isn’t super large so making a reservation is highly recommended although walk-ins are accepted. It can sometimes get a little loud in the restaurant at times so if you were looking for a quiet spot this is probably not going work. That isn’t to say they are blaring rock music from the speakers, but a full restaurant of people chatting can get a little loud. Again, we love this restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good Italian meal.

Spectacular Italian restaurant in Rehoboth. Sophisticated menu at reasonable prices. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. I started with the Old School Meatballs and then had the Cacio E Pepe. Both were superb and reminded me of dining in Italy. Service was very friendly.

Had high expectations of Lupe but fell a bit short. Kitchen is good description. I w as hoping for more of a classic Italian restaurant vibe but it was more luncheonette feel. Service was good. Felt a bit rushed. We were not finished with appetizers and our meal came out. I ordered gnocchi and the portion was pretty light. My wife ordered the bolognese and it was very sweet. Overall the best part of the evening was the bottle of wine. Maybe we expected too much but we will not go back.

Wow! Fabulous staff and ambiance. And then there is the food! "Pepper spaghetti" was absolutely delicious as was the beef stew (served with bread for soaking up broth ). Complimentary bread for the table was soft and tasty. Great experience.

I'm in the minority again, rating-wise, maybe even within the group of 8 who dined together but. . . . I felt that the food served at our dinner together last year (which I did not rate at that time) was not as good as the ones I rated 5's the 2 previous years. This years dinner pretty much confirmed my feelings. It's not that the food is bad but it's not the 5 that it was. The Sauteed Artichoke Heart appetizer, even with additional Salt, Pepper and Lemon, was a disappointment. The Softshell Crab Franchise was not crispy at all maybe because of the sauce, so it lacked the crispy texture/taste that dish usually delivers. The seasoning was just ok. The special Crab Carbonara also lacked a real punch, with the pasta almost to the point of not being cooked. I love Al dente pasta - this was not that. The staff is still as friendly as ever. The tables, for the most part, almost all filled as before, so I would still tell friends to give it a try. But for me . . .

We love lupo! This Italian spot has the most amazing homemade pasta dishes and appetizers to go with it. They do have happy hour but it's only at the bar, so when you order from the table during happy hour it is regular price. For an appetizer we got the peach and goat cheese, which had an interesting taste (the peaches were suspiciously not peach tasting) although we did love it. The bolognese and spaghetti with meatballs are classic dishes that they do incredibly well. They don't have many vegetarian options, but they were happy to accommodate by making a side of pasta with burrata on top. The price point is a little high, but pretty average for Rehoboth.

The shaved Brussels salad was probably the highlight of the meal. The pasta (lobster bucatini and cacio e Pepe) was good but nothing special. Overall we had a fine experience here, though the food is relatively pricey and you could probably find better in the area.

you should really rethink your service. you have your restaurant on door dash. so if someone orders pasta they should be able to choose the sauce. Amy would not assist in any way. I would not recommend at all I paid over $100 for food that will not be eating. You made me a fan of Difebos now!

Went back a year later and I was super excited. Well my spouse and I were super disappointed. They have gone downhill. The sodas flat. The rigatoni pasta was rubbery. Calamari was just covered in fried breading. Couldn't even taste the calamari. And my lobster bucatini which I had before was rubbery and the lobster had smaller pieces and they were dry and rubbery too. We will not be coming back. Also noticed the restaurant was pretty quiet and dead at 6-6:30pm No pics because we sent food back. I kept my lobster bucatini because I was starving. But will not be going back again.

We made our way to Lupo Italian Kitchen last night to take advantage of their half off parm night special and we were impressed! We started with a few of their cocktails including an Italian margarita, and espresso martini which were both great. And for an app, we went with their arancini which was made with caramelized onions and leeks, served with rustic tomato cream and pecorino. For our mains we had the eggplant parm, chicken parm and a special they had for an amatriciana pasta dish. All three were great and kept us coming back for more. And at half off for the parm entrees, you just can't beat it.

Hostess was adamant about not seating us until our entire party of 8 was there even though we said the remaining few were parking and almost here and thus we lost our table. Another party of the same size at the same time was seated and took our table even though half of their party wasn't even there. Hostess was so rude. Never coming back.

We ate out last night and we found our way to Lupo Italian Kitchen in Rehoboth. I was a little weary at first since I believe it's a Sodel restaurant group restaurant. Haven't had that much success with some of their places ( Thompson Island or Bluecoast, to name a couple). We were greeted nicely and were shown to our table and there were a few tables already seated. Our server came over (Ramona), I have to say what a delight. Our table had a couple of cocktails, pear martini (which our guest really enjoyed and another one had a gin and tonic and listen to our request, delightful. I started with a bottle of wine, 2019 Luiano, "Lui" Cabernet Toscana, it had nice notes and flavor. Our server brought us over some focaccia and olive oil which I found to be pretty tasty. We had a couple of appetizers to start the sauté artichokes with sun dried tomatoes and ricotta, the arancini (onion and leek) in a tomato cream ( I liked that it was on the back of the plate) and a Caesar salad, which had a nice taste and the lemon came through in the dressing. All the apps were tasty, only complaint would be the croutons, over cooked and very hard. Entrees were a bit of a wait considering the restaurant was overly busy. Our table had the mushroom garganelli pasta, (porcini pasta with a truffle cream, eggplant parmigiana with a side of rapini with garlic & chili and we had a meat lasagna and a side of fried brussel sprouts ( pickled shallots and a tomato bacon jam), I didn't taste any tomato bacon jam in this dish. I have to say all the entrees were very good and coming off a January diet the portion of the lasagna was pretty big. I looked at their website before heading out and I was surprised it wasn't updated. They advertise their specials for Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday but no mention of Monday night (lasagna night), I'm just glad we hit it on the right night. I will be back and looking forward to trying other items on their menu and I hope to leave some room for desserts the next time we visit the establishment. I'm done dieting for now; a thank you again to Ramona ( our server).

Food was tasty. Only complaint is they need to learn how to not overcook pasta. Sounds strange since this is an Italian restaurant , but pasta was not cooked correctly. We had chicken and eggplant Parma. Nice dishes. Staff is very friendly. Definitely one of the better Italian places in area.

I cannot say enough good things about Lupo-- great food, tasty drinks, amazing service and a lovely atmosphere to chat the night away. My friend and I had the artichokes-- add the lemon-- incredible. It wasn't my first time having them-- and it won't be my last! We shared the Cesar salad as well. Large enough for two. They will ask if you want it with anchovies or to hold them. Andddd last but not least, we had the lobster bucatini. This is a smaller pasta dish-- and too good to share! ( but we did share it.) If you're hungry and didn't order appetizers, you probably won't wanna share this dish.. Loved my pear martini. Lovely and smooth. Always a favorite place to go and I'll be back!

Lupo was where we decided to dine on the first night of vacation Saturday 4.29.23. Everything was stellar. No complaints whatsoever. Restaurant interior is clean, bright, and simple. Service was fantastic. Food was delicious. *Drinks: limoncello lemon drop martini, grapefruit martini, negroni up *Burrata app - grilled bread, roasted butternut squash, crispy grains, pepitas, frisee lettuce, maple vinaigrette *Beet salad - peas, pickled shallots, house ricotta, frisee lettuce, pistachios, banyuls vinaigrette *Eggplant parm with rapini *Lobster bucatini - pancetta, mascarpone, shallots, peas Great dining experience.

Excellent food and service. A part of the Sodel family of restaurants, another winner. House made pasta, cheese and bread... need I say more? The bread is soooo good. Soft and chewy with herbs. We had a special appetizer that used their house made ricotta. Pasta was nicely done, loaded with clams. Eggplant parm was also good

I loved the atmosphere and the service was great but as far as the food goes I thought it was average at best. Chicken parm was very dry, almost no sauce and really thick. It was also very bland. Spaghetti and Meatballs were again average, not bad but again bland and nothing special. For the price I was hoping for more.

Fantastic quality food. Casual but nice atmosphere. Great service. We had the arugula salad, pesto pasta with shrimp, linguini with clams, and chicken Parmesan. All were excellent. Nice wine and beer options as well as some classic and Italian classic cocktails.

Very stylish and small Italian restaurant! Started off with a Pinot Grigio sangria with peaches and raspberries. I got the shrimp alla pesto as an entree, very delicious! Wish they provided more shrimp in the entree. Someone else in my party had the oysters app, eggplant parm (very crispy) and the Bolognese. No complaints! Service was good. Had this young girl as a waitress who gave me her honest opinion about the entree I ordered since I was on the fence. No regrets!

Loved the Tuesday special of 1/2 price parmigianas recommended by the concierge at our Ballmoor Inn. After a long day of discovering the DE coast, we walked over w/o a reservation and the outdoor dining area was only option. The server (can't remember his name but hardworking young man with a day job at Lewes bait shop) cordial and pleasant, hustled between indoors and outdoors, all with a smile. The eggplant parmigiana accompanied with rapini and the chicken parmigiana with pasta presented simply and and delicious, served hot and timely even though the interior dining room was bustling. Great dinner experience and so, shout out to the kitchen staff who prepared and presented the tasty entrees. No photo. Impromptu decision w/o devices.

I wish I could have included the food in this review, but we didn't get that far. We were seated quickly and the hostess and server were nice. We put our drink order in. My husband ordered a glass of wine, I ordered a club soda with angostura bitters and an orange slice. The server was a bit slow to take our food order, to the point where we wondered if we had been forgotten about, but his upbeat attitude made up for it. We put our food order in before the drinks came. My husband asked for a dish to be made spicy. The server informed him that the dish already had a bit of red pepper flake in it, but the chef would not add additional and he could only offer more pepper flakes on the side. Kind of odd not to honor a request like that, but ok... After we put our food order in, the server came back to inform us that the bartender refused to make the club soda with bitters. He only reserves bitters for making old fashioned cocktails. I asked the server if he was sure that the bartender said that. This is my normal drink anywhere I go, I was also a bartender for over 15 years and I never had a bartender deny such a simple request. He said he was sure. We left. If a dining establishment isn't willing to honor two incredibly basic and feasible requirements, we didnt want to give them our money. We felt unwelcome. Go to Diferos down the street. Similar style menu and they made our food spicy and we got our drink!

The Food was Frabjous! The Service was Superb! & The Ambiance is Always Apropos... Bellissimo!

I love Lupo's and will definitely be back after today! Every part of our meal was just delicious. The crispy artichokes had a decadent creamy hint of lemon. The Cesar salad was a large portion size and my friend and I split the lobster bucatini which had a good amount of lobster although the portion size wasn't as big as some of the other pastas we saw being served. The service was absolutely fantastic. I drank a mule and my friend tried a seasonal strawberry drink but she didn't like the licorice flavored liquor in it and he graciously offered her a different drink. I enjoyed the ambiance and it felt like we were at our own little table although we were sitting at a half table half booth. However I do suggest getting reservations for a weekend or during prime beach season bc it can get busy. We got lucky and our party of 2 had no problems being seated at 5:30pm on a Sunday in May.

A brightly lit storefront within the confines of the Hotel Rehoboth. This open floor plan Italian restaurant is alive with more than a din buzz of conversation, ice clinking glasses and silverware hitting plates. Here on a Tuesday, off-season, and only able to get a reservation for 8pm! Part of the allure to locals or those in the out of season know....1/2 priced parmigiana dishes. That's correct, basically $10-$12 for a really nice entree of chicken or eggplant. The chicken parmigiana is a large, nicely breaded and lightly fried breast atop a bed of perfectly al dente spaghetti. A bright sauce balances the creaminess of the mozzarella. The eggplant is also well done, sharing the plate with a garlicky broccoli rabe. The seared scallops are a hit, with a citrusy radicchio flavor balance. The octopus salad with chick peas and black olives mixes great flavors. The octopus is generously portioned but chewier than most I've had. It's loud but because people are having fun.

We had a wonderful meal last week! We had the best Lemonchello martinis then on to the well rounded menu. Two of us had the lobster pasta dish and the third had a mushroom pasta dish. No complaints at all! The bread along with dipping olive oil was yummy as well. The dessert we shared was tiramisu I wanted more! Wait staff was attentive. Make reservations and give it a try!

The food is excellent at Lupo Italian Kitchen. I have enjoyed the food here every time we come here. The menu is unique so take your time and choose wisely. I also happen to like the way the staff interacts with our table when we come here. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated with a modern yet classic theme. The one ding I can give to this place is that it is small. That equates to long waits to get in sometimes. When they are busy reservations are a must and you may still wait a bit for a table.

I always get delicious food from this restaurant when I'm visiting Rehoboth. The food is so good that I don't leave Rehoboth without stopping there first. A few of my family members visited Rehoboth for the first time and they were impressed with this restaurant as well. I also love the friendly hospitality and service extended to us. I always try a different dish and no matter what I order, I'm never disappointed. I ordered the shrimp alla pesto, shaved Brussel sprouts and arancini. Sorry no pics this time, I was too busy devouring the food.

Lupo is a restaurant that is a part of Hotel Rehoboth. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. I usually go there for dinner. There artichokes are to die for. They are delicious. And I get a chicken dish that I love. Drinks are alway on point too!

Always a decent experience at Lupo. Service, ambiance and food quality is great. Will keep me going back.

Chicken parm was very good. Excellent service. Beautiful restaurant right on Rehoboth Ave.

Okay, I'm about to gush. The food here is incredible. We set out on a Saturday night, arriving at the restaurant just as it opened its doors. We ordered lovely mocktails which arrived in martini glasses and slices of orange, lemon, and lime. The mocktail was composed of pineapple, orange, and pomegranate (as far as I can remember). It was delicious. For appetizers, we ordered the Formaggio Stuffed Arancini which came with a beautiful roasted tomato red sauce. The rice balls when sliced oozed with three cheeses. Wonderful stuff. We also ordered the Polenta Fries, which were well done, but not my cup of tea. She had the roasted chicken, with asparagus, and those ooh so good fingerlings with a cauliflower purée sauce. My partner famous for leaving something on the plate did not this night. Compliments to the kitchen she told the server. Just look at that empty plate. I choose the Mushroom Campanella, which is porcini pasta, roasted mushrooms, tomato and mushroom essence. Wow, it was delicious. We ordered vanilla bean cheese cake to take home. Our server Bri was attentive and helpful. We will most definitely be back to take in more of the fare offered at this beautiful restaurant, which is nestled inside the Hotel Rehoboth. Prepare for a lively establishment. Highly recommended. Did I mention the food was delicious?

You can't get any better in Rehobeth Beach than Lupo. Amazing food and drink but, the service is amazing!!!!! Todd at the bar will take care of you and make the night special. I have been to Rehobeth many times but never to Lupo. Is 3 times in 3 days too much? Nope!

Food was good. Arugula salad with pesto dressing was fresh and good but the amount of pecorino on it made it a little salty for our taste. The waiter was knowledgeable of GF options and made suggestions. The pesto GF pasta without the shrimp was good. Had to pay for the shrimp though. Dish was served only warm and we had to send it back for a reheat. They took care of this quickly one we got hold of our waiter. The linguine with white clam sauce was very good. Lots of clams. Pasta was cooked al dente in both dishes. The bread served was a good bread but not warmed. The prices are high and the portions are small for the price. But this is to be expected in a hotel restaraunt. The tables are very close to each other and the voice level in the room is deafening. Service was slow and our waiter didn't check in. We only found him by flagging him down. In fairness, they had a full house. Overall a good but not exceptional meal with subpar service which didn't justify the price.

We made two outdoor reservations for the same evening because they don't sit parties of more than 4 outside. They were really difficult about letting us book two separate reservations. We were very specific about sitting outside because my wife is pregnant. We show up and they say sorry we only have one outdoor table for you and there is nothing we can do. They said since we didn't respond to the automated text message requesting to sit outside that there is nothing they can do. This is my first one star yelp review.

Really wanted to enjoy this restaurant party of six with reservations appetizers were good nice fresh bread with olive oil for the table they do well for pasta dishes however the swordfish was hit & miss one was good they other was raw inside when our server Zach asked if we'd like it recooked we said ok it's was returned with new vegetables and appeared to be steaming hot however when sliced in the middle was still raw

This is such a cute and unexpected find! My boyfriend took me here for my birthday dinner and we were so pleasantly surprised at how quaint the restaurant was! Our server was so sweet and we were so stuffed by the end of the meal. We got the shaved Brussels sprouts, calamari, short rib Ragu and the chicken Parmesan and everything was absolutely delicious!

We went for happy hour at Lupo this evening. The food and happy hour wine were very good. Kudos for that. Unfortunately customer service was only 2.5 stars. We had to ask three times for milk and sweetener for the decaf we ordered. (The decaf was lukewarm by that point.) The waitperson was overwhelmed elsewhere; the host gave me a look like she couldn't be bothered when I repeated the request for milk, which I shouldn't even need to request in the first place. Finally, my 2nd glass of wine smelled of dish detergent but I didn't mention that. Too bad because the apps and salad were tasty.

This is our favorite place in Rehoboth. Whoever does their hiring needs a pay raise, because we have consistently had phenomenal servers. Carson was absolutely wonderful and kind, and truly, as good as they get! The food, as always, was delicious... you really cannot go wrong with their house-made pasta. I only wish they brought back a vegetarian lentil bolognese that they had a few years ago - it was magnificent! Delectable for vegans and carnivores alike. Pleeeease bring this back! Either way, thank you again! Always our most memorable meal here.

We dined here many years ago and tried it again. 100% A-1 Excellent. We had 2-3 of the appetizers, salads and main pasta. Absolutely delicious. Atmosphere is very inviting and charming behind in the Rehoboth Beach hotel. Service was superb. and this place is well worth it. Don't miss this restaurant in Rehoboth when you are there.

Had a staycation and decided to check this place out for the first time. It was AWESOME! All of the staff are warm, welcoming & engaging. Todd, our bartender, remembered our names after a brief interaction and even made it a point to say bye on the way out. So impressive! Our server was excellent as well and very attentive but not hovering- great job. The ambiance was great- intimate, but modern and felt just right. Loved the decor and table we got right next to the window. It was perfect. Now for the best part- the food. The burrata was sooo good. Everything paired well together and tasted so fresh! The campanelle I got with chicken which was good but I feel like this dish can stand alone- the chicken was great don't get me wrong- but if I could do it again,I'd go without- it was that good. My husband got the chicken parm which he loved and the portions are on the bigger side in my opinion, so if you aren't super hungry you could share. It was a lot of chicken for both of us. We had a great bottle of red wine and we finished off with the tiramisu which was hands down THE BEST TIRAMISU I have ever had. It was phenomenal. Can't wait to take my parents here when they visit in June!

So we are here before with family and enjoyed ourselves. We called all week and left two messages and nobody called us back for a reservation. We showed up early and were told that there would be space at 5. When we returned, the lady looked at us and clearly wanted nothing to do with us and told us there was no space. There were a ton of empty tables. We are in town for the Coastal Marathon so it's not like people were dressed nicer than we were! Totally disappointed in the whole situation. I will never be back and we frequently do date nights in the area.

What a great find ( for me) in Rehobeth Beach! Menu is small but very well done. Appetizers, entrees only sorry I didn't have room fo r dessert. Staff very friendly & accommodating. Reservations a must - even in off season.

Lovely restaurant! The food was excellent and the service was very good. My husband loved his linguine with littleneck clams on the half shell. The root vegetables with a cider glaze were delicious as well.

Improved Outdoor Dining. Ooh Lah-Lah. Grazie. Tutte Bene. Fresh Flowers. Nice Privacy Partition. Yah gotta go. The Food & Staff are Amazing, especially Managers Amy & Danae, Fiona, Chengus, & Todd. Try the Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad, Bolognese, Fresh Fish, Chicken or Eggplant Parmesan, and Dayboat Scallops (when available) with a bottle of San Leonardo Terre Red Wine. The only things missing were Andrea Bocelli & a Gondola Ride like in Venice.

spent $225.00 for a mediocre meal. eggplant parm mushy and over breaded, mussels had a lower level of bread that soaked up all the sauce. lobster pasta had all end pieces of lobster nothing substantial for a $40.00 price we're locals and won't be going here again anytime soon

Try the bread! The pork loin was very good as well as the the chicken park. The place is smaller than I imagine it would be.

A good Italian restaurant, not a great one. I saw another review saying that this was the best Italian restaurant in Rehoboth. That may be true, but, for the money, you should be able to do better. I started off with the Fried Calamari. It was nothing special. The Chicken Parm was very good. Chicken was moist and well-flavored. The breading was crispy as it should be. The sauce was not particularly well flavored. My wife had the Bolognese. It was good, but she was not blown away. Our bill was around $100 without alcohol. I felt that it was a bit overpriced for what was delivered.

Delicious food from appetizers to salads and desserts. Great ambience and the service was amazing. waiter has always been attentive. My favorite is their Arugula salad with a pesto dressing. I've considered just ordering 2 of these salads but the other food is just too yummy .

I've been here a handful of times with family and friends. I could've sworn I had written a review previously, so this one is long overdue. Lupo is located right in downtown Rehoboth in one of the hotels that line Rehoboth Avenue. The venue, like most of SoDel's restaurants, is modern and comfortable. On my most recent visit here, I sat at the bar and was served by Zach. Zach was an awesome bartender; he was friendly, personable, and made great recommendations. The lemon berry martini he made was delicious. I came on half price pasta night so I knew I was gonna get pasta. I decided to start with a Caesar salad and then do the linguini and clams. The Caesar was delicious, with nice pieces of romaine, cheese, and croutons throughout. The dressing was delicious; I could tell that it was made in house. The linguini and clams was delicious, with nice sized clams surrounding a generous serving of linguini in an absolutely delicious white wine gorgonzola butter sauce. Definitely one of the best versions of this dish that I can remember. I've eaten in the dining room as well and service has always been stellar. Beware of coming during the season; wait times are insane and parking is such a pain. I remember coming into the restaurant with 3 friends on a Friday night in July around 8:30 PM; they turned us away claiming they were done seating for the evening even though they were open until 10. Kind of weird, but whatever. Definitely put this on your list of dining choices when at the beach. During the off-season I'll come up here from Fenwick, it's just that good.

Mushroom lobster ravioli was delicious. Great small restaurant. Come early to grab a seat at the bar or outside. Drinks are delicious

Stopped in the local Italian restaurant after a disappointing snack at the local seafood restaurant. Todd , our waiter/bartender was very friendly and accommodating! Had great recommendations for food and after dinner activities! Great choices: Brussels sprouts and meatballs for the appetizer win!

This was our first time ordering from this place and we were not impressed. Eggplant Parmigiana was horrible, no taste, no sauce, the slices were so thick it was half mush and half undercooked. Cheese was hard on the bottom. Lobster pasta dish was good, if I was in a mall, but expected better. Very small portions for an Italian restaurant. I know when you order for takeout, the restaurant really can't "present" your food in a good light but.. $10 for this (photo) could have been better. It was the Nutella desert; and this wasn't great either This was our 30th wedding anniversary dinner; ended up ordering a pizza from Grottos.
