The food is one of a kind. Chef Luigi has created some wonderful recipes over the years.He is right up there With Lydia, the Italian Chefess that took the culinary world and set it on its feet to take notice of her simple style, with flair and forget me nots meals at her place in Kansas City, Kansas, railroad district.
We go to Lupi at least once a week. It is a wonderful family atmosphere. Traditional italian food cooked with love! A cozy neighborhood eatery. Sergio plays guitar many nights and that is a wonderful added bonus!
Great italian food, service and music
I love coming here to enjoy Dinner
Best Italian food in San Diego. Hands down
AMAZING!!! Such good food and service everyone was so nice!
Authentic. The menu looks like it has some amazing options, but I always end up getting one of the specials offered that night and have not been disappointed! Fantastically friendly staff. Reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. I would highly recommend, but i dont want you there, i want it to be my secret!
It was one of the best dishes we ever had in our life.
Thank you very much and greetings from Germany
Our first time here and I'm so glad we came. Best authentic Italian Cuisine we've had! The lasagna was AMAZING! Mouth watering and stayed hot thru the last bite! My husband ordered a seafood pasta dish, fresh shrimp and scallops in a red sauce over angel hair pasta. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming again on our next visit! Thank you for a fabulous dinner and top of the line service! 💜
Lupi's is amazing. Fantastic food and service.
We had a delightful evening at this restaurant on a recent trip to Bird Rock. The food and service were both excellent. My father-in-law had mentioned he was surprised when he’d ordered meatballs and the didn’t come with spaghetti, so our waitress, the chef’s niece, sent us home with a complimentary order of spaghetti and meatballs. As we were leaving, she ran out with an order of freshly made bread. I can understand why President Ford had Lupi’s cater his daughter’s wedding. It was a lovely place with wonderful people.
Juan was an excellent host, the food was fresh and delicious. Service was superb. You could tell the entire restaurant took pride in everything they did. Will definitely be back.
Their lasagna and garlic bread are amazing. I only had water to drink and my up was never close to being half empty. Service was amazing, will definitely be back when in the area
Nice Italian restaurant. They have live music at night. Food is good and the easier had old school charm. I would go back again
Amazing food and with as many people as we had. Nobody would guarantee us a table. Not this place! Amazing food and service! I recommend prawns for sure

A delicious feel-good meal at an intimate and cozy local gem...
Wonderful small neighborhood Italian restaurant with a great variety of traditional dishes. Great food and great service. Away from the more congested parts of La Jolla so restaurant is easy to get to and parking is a available nearby. Chef/owner has been at this location for decades and takes great pride in his work. A true gem.
Not only was the food amazing, but the experience was even better. Our server, Antonio, was extremely polite and personable. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a classic Italian restaurant.
The food and service we had was excellent. The interior could do with an upgrade. Parking can be challenging right in front but can be found on a side street.
Great experience, excellent food! Also had a solid wine selection. Everyone here seems to be from Italy, so kind of feels like a mini vacation! Super sweet to our toddler, crayons, fun plastic cup, really quickly brought some bread out at the beginning.
Juan was wonderful..warm and welcoming. The food was excellent. We will definitely go back!
This place deserves a 5 for a few reasons.
1. YES is the answer you will get when you ask any question. Yes they could make us a meal even though it was closing time. Yes, they could make us a dish per our request. Yes, with a smile. Lola is fantastic!
2. The food is excellent! We took it to go, so I imagine sitting down and enjoying it on site would be even better. The Lupi salad with pears and fresh mozzarella is incredible! The penne arrabiatta was delicious. The bread....omg the bread is perfection!
3. They have a great outdoor patio with white twinkle lights in the heart of Bird Rock. So cute and welcoming.
Can't wait to come back and enjoy dinner on site!
My girlfriend and I were on vacation from Arizona and ate here after having over-priced and underwhelming food everywhere else throughoutthe week. The food was so good that we went back the next night. Hospitality was a amazing and the owner / chef stepped out of the kitchen to meet us so I could personally tell him how good the food was. His niece was a DYNAMO! She did everything from serve, bus, expedite, clean, train new staff. Just an amazing place and service. I want to go back again, just so we can eat there!
