"On the third floor of this Italian restaurant, diners get all the warmth thanks to a 16-seat private dining room complete with a fireplace and TV. The menu boasts multiple wood-fired pizzas and homemade pastas." - Mekita Rivas

"The Palisades’ Italian go-to serves an Under the Tuscan Sun with orgeat syrup, cherry reduction, lime juice, club soda, and blueberries ($8)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Go for Lupo Verde Osteria’s gluten-free rigatoni, which is made with corn, then add sauces like pomodoro, bolognese, cacio e pepe, or vongole (clams)." - Lenore Adkins
"Over in the Palisades, Lupo Verde has created a feast of the seven fishes with a neighborhood feel. The $90 multi-course tasting menu features two types of pasta: a blue crab-filled ravioli and a clam linguine. That’s in addition to preparations of octopus, cod, mussels, and a dessert course that includes rustic panettone with hot chocolate dipping sauce. As an added bonus, each table will get a bottle of Prosecco to help kick off the celebrating." - Travis Mitchell

"My friend and I braved the Palisades to try Lupo Verde’s new Osteria outpost for the bourgeois set in Northwest. We washed down our eggs with 'perfectly well-balanced' spritzes; the frittata I ordered — filled with roasted mushrooms, goat cheese, and spring onions — was exactly my ideal and 'the perfect healthy soccer mom dish' they need on the menu in the Palisades. My friend’s eggs benedict featured light, 'exceptional' Hollandaise, the cacio e pepe topped with an egg to make it brunchy was 'divine,' and the tiramisu french toast proved to be a 'must-order.'" - Gabe Hiatt
