OUR STORY
There’s an old Italian saying, ‘Chi si volta, e chi si gira, sempre a casa va finire’, which means that no matter where you go or turn, you’ll always end up at home.
We want your dining experience to feel like you’re at home, in an atmosphere where you’re relaxed & comfortable & enjoy exceptional combinations of homemade pasta, great food & wine.
Visit your Rome away from home.
Our kitchen uses tree nuts, traces of which may be found in certain dishes.

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