The first special, the Vitello Costata (veal chop), was outstanding. It was grilled in the Fiorentina style, topped with fresh rosemary, and cooked to perfection. The second special, the snapper Livornese, was absolutely delightful. The third special, Papardelle with a light tomato sauce infused with Gorgonzola, was unlike anything I'd seen before (I can't even pinpoint a regional style for it), but it was just as fantastic as the other two dishes.
The staff is wonderful—truly a great team! A big thank you to everyone at Bar Lupa!
We dined here on a Friday night at 6:30 and place was 80%filled by 7:00. Service was very friendly and efficient. Appetizers of grilled and fried calamari were very good. The 14.95 size was very adequate for 2-3 people. Drinks were excellent also. Main course of veal very good, but bourbon cream sauce had a bit too much bourbon, leaving a bitter taste. Noice level particularly loud probably related to hard wood floor. Overall, pretty solid intimate restaurant with a seemingly loyal clientele.
We had a group of six and waited 25 minutes before I had to flag down a server to take our drink orders. There was also an awkward moment when we asked for separate checks for the three couples, and the manager informed us that separating checks wasn't permitted. This left us puzzled, so we decided it was best to leave. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back to this restaurant.
Chef Miguel is an outstanding cook. The food is incredibly delicious and reasonably priced. The wait staff, particularly Jose and Andreous, excel in their roles, with Jose being especially knowledgeable about the preparation of the dishes and the ingredients used. I highly recommend this restaurant; it has a wonderful atmosphere and a friendly bar as well.

The meal began on a fantastic note, and the food is just as excellent as it was at the original Rustico, with many beloved classics making a return. It's more of an evolution rather than a complete overhaul. A suggestion for the owners: join Yelp so we can share our glowing reviews there!
had a fantastic time at the bar. The appetizers and food were delicious, especially the veal chop special. My friends and I enjoy stopping by to try out different appetizers. It's a popular spot with a friendly local crowd where everyone seems to know each other.
This restaurant is a true gem! It's cozy and inviting, with absolutely delicious food. The staff radiate warmth and friendliness. Be sure to visit soon, as it won't be easy to secure a reservation later on!
I had a great experience at this small restaurant. I only sat at the bar, had some drinks, and food. I had a good time and would recommend it if you're in the area.

It is not fancy but it is cozy. It is just good Italian based food. The service is always friendly and professional..
