What people say, in short
Lupo is an Italian restaurant set in a restored historic house, with dim lighting, several small rooms and a quiet feel that one commenter calls perfect for a serious evening. Many people recommend it, and one prefers its flavours and menu to Savio Volpe's, while another finds it pretty good but not on the same level as other picks. One diner was underwhelmed on both visits, and another questions whether it is overrated.
