Osteria Lupo

"Osteria Lupo’s menu focuses first on pasta dishes, followed by a handful of entrees of roasted meats and fish, a trio of wood-fired pizzas, and shareable antipasti. But it’s the pasta that steals the show, from the radiatori with blue crab to the rich bigoli carbonara and spaghetti alla chittara. The campanelle with mushrooms is a slightly lighter, delicious option. Don’t miss dessert." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"Osteria Lupo is the impressive Northern Italian restaurant from the folks behind nearby Costera, a coastal Spanish tapas restaurant. It’s now serving a comforting, rustic brunch menu with a European flair, dishes like a pesto, pea, and provolone frittata; Eggs in Purgatory with arrabbiata, grilled focaccia, and ricotta salad; a Pane Perduto with rose water berries and lemon curd; and a breakfast sandwich on brioche with sausage, fontina, and an egg. Cocktails are elegant, like the La Mola with Cimarron Blanco tequila, Aperol, citrus, and bitters; and the classic Matralia, with red wine, amaro, and cola." - Eater Staff

"Family style northern Italian cuisine is the star at Osteria Lupo, with four courses offered for $95 on New Year’s Eve. Start with an array of Italian meats and cheese then dig into homemade truffle pasta and lobster risotto and a main course of veal saltimbocca. Dessert will be a surprise from the chef." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"In the land of Sicilian Italian restaurants, Osteria Lupo aims to do something different. Drawing on inspiration from Piedmont, Liguria, and other regions in northern Italy, Burns’s menu focuses first on pasta dishes, followed by a handful of entrees of roasted meats and fish, a trio of wood-fired pizzas, and shareable antipasti. A cocktail menu leaning heavily on apertivi and amari and desserts like a brown butter semifreddo and a lemon tart with lavender shortbread round out the refined, on-trend offerings." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"Located on several of the Uptown parade routes, Osteria Lupo dishes modern Italian Mardi Gras treats. Pizze is one handy easy to eat option, like the Diavola with spicy nduja, jalapeño, and fontina; quattro formaggi oozing mozzarella, gorgonzola, parmesan, and fontina; and the 24-month proscuitto di San Danielle with basil. Cocktails are also available to-go." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono
