We pride ourselves in staying true to our roots and in keeping traditional Roman cuisine alive. Our recipes are made from scratch, in the true spirit of home-styled cooking.
You can expect wholesome, seasonal pizzas, pastas, seafood and secondi, seasoned with distinctly Italian flavours.
Certain pastas available in half portions at 70% of the price.
Our kitchen uses tree nuts, traces of which may be found in certain dishes.
We reserve the right to add a 10% service charge to tables of eight or more.

pasta
Our fettuccine & spaghetti are freshly made on site, every day, with love!
The pasta is extruded through a bronze die cutter to create a rougher surface texture which allows the pasta to grip more sauce. The result is a fuller and better flavour. Our homemade pasta is
what sets Lupa apart from other Italian trattorias. Try it and you will
taste the difference.
Choose: Homemade spaghetti (no egg), homemade fettuccine
(free-range egg) or imported Granoro Dedicato penne.
