As good as any North American mountain town Italian you will ever have. The vast majority of ski resorts struggle to put together a menu like Lupo's. The best Italian spot in most small cities won't stack up to this. My group ordered one of each pasta and a few mains and we left very satisfied. read more

Lupo is my absolute favorite restaurant in Banff! Most of the restaurants in the area are either overpriced or mediocre food at best, but Lupo serves it all - amazing patio views, beautiful indoor decor, and delicious food. I tried the rigatoni alla vodka and the cacio e pepe, and absolutely loved both. The pasta tasted fresh and had the perfect sauce:noodle ratio. I wish I had tried some of their appetizers because everything I saw on other people's tables looked so good! Price wise, I'd say it was pretty fair for a tourist town. I think the pastas were ~$20 each. I would 100% come back here if I were visiting Banff again. read more

We had a work party at this Italian restaurant. They make their own fresh pasta and source local supplies as well. A few of us shared the 40 oz ribeye tomahawk steak. That must have been the pre cook weight, it only seemed to be 20 oz when served. We all sat at one long table and the restaurant was quite loud we could not hear people from the other end of the table of 8. There were plenty of servers but still service was quite slow, our reservation was at 6pm we had an appt and desert and left after 9pm. All in the food was very tasty and I would go again to try some of the other pasta dishes. read more

Really excellent flu, very thoughtful service, with unique flavors and dishes. A great place to stop in Banff!

After a long day in Banff and Kootenay NP, we stopped in the town of Banff to dine at Lupo. The restaurant is on the second floor of a building, so it is considered rooftop patio dining. My wife had the roseline (rolled lasagna with ham) and I had the spaghetti and meatballs. Both of our meals were delicious. The service was excellent. read more

Great Italian spot in Banff. Make sure to make reservations. We tried to walk in on a Friday and we're told to possibly come bCk in half and hour and to give our phone number, but since we were internationally traveling, our phone wouldn't work. We made a reservation for the following night and there was only bar seating available online. We entered in that it was our anniversary, and we're pleasantly surprised when we got there they sat us at a table instead. We got pizza and cacio e Pepe pasta as well as a meatball appetizer. It was all good. You do have to pay for the bread which is unusual from where we come from, but Portions are more filling then you may assume. Overall we would return. read more

outstanding all around. excellent, friendly service, top notch food and ambience. Reservation was easy and upon arrival, even a bit early, table was ready and waiting. Our praticular server was extremely good and very pleasant. We will look forward to returning! read more

The service was really slow. We had to ask for water multiple times and waited another 30 mins to settle our bill. The pastas were great. The roasted octopus was tough and the ossobuco was tender but didn't have a lot of taste. For the price of the meal I'd expect better service, free house bread and tastier food. If you plan on coming here stick to the pastas. read more

Did the happy hour, great value, food and service! They have a great value happy hour, if you want a more filling item go for a pizza but I loved the mushroom lasagna! read more

We came here for dinner one night when we didn't make reservations. So it was nice to find a place that took walk ins. The ambiance was really cute. It was upstairs and you had a great view of the downtown area (like seeing the snow and the people walking). Service was great, and the staff was super attentive. Food-wise, we liked but didn't love anything we got. Caesar salad was HUGE and meant to be shared. Stuff Ricotta Dumplings - this was pretty good. The front taste in your mouth was the pasta and the after taste was strong lemon. I may have preferred this with more meat sauce or something like that. Rigatoni alla Vodka - this was our favorite of the pastas. It was just simple and good. I'd definitely try the pastas because they are homemade (and you can get pizzas at a lot of places). read more

Incredible eats and service. Truly a gem of a place with lovely ambience. Visited with a large group and they did an outstanding job at catering to us. Thank you Banff! read more

The waitress was amazing and went above and beyond! However the hostess staff was horrible. Requested to sit outside, sun was out, no sign of rain on the radar until 10:30pm. We were told we couldn't sit outside because of the incoming rain on the radar, even though there was no rain on the radar. Attempted to speak to hostess after the meal, she was rude! Every restaurant in Banff was seating outdoors. read more

front of house and service were wonderful. the food was disappointing - at least my dish. The Angolitto was a disaster. Bricks of cheese drowning in a lake of olive oil. Would have been tolerable if it were good - but it wasn't. the Experience was saved by the service. read more

The food was very good and the ambiance was also great. Roseline pasta was excellent. Good recommendation! read more

Beautiful space - deco tiles, patio and solid window wall. Sunny into the evening. Solid Italian fair and cocktails.

One of the best places I've eaten in Banff so far! I heard about this place before visiting and made a reservation right away. It was the perfect Italian restaurant. It's great for a fancy night out/date night or if you just came back from your adventures in Banff. We saw a mix of different groups although the ambiance is definitely a little more upscale than casual. The service was amazing, our waitress was so friendly and sweet and gave us a bunch of recs for our stay while we were In town. The food was so delicious. Definitely recommend the spicy rigatoni and mushroom pizza along with truffle fries. read more

Came here the first time for happy hour (4-5) and ordered the Caesar salad and the arugula prosciutto pizza. The Caesar was perfect with small pieces of sardines. The pizza was old too but similar to pizza's I've had before. The restaurant itself has a really run atmosphere. My boyfriend and I came a second time to celebrate his birthday on Friday night. We ordered the lobster special pasta and the carbonara. They were both delicious but the lobster special was phenomenal, it was light and had a hint of lemon. Definitely recommend ordering this if they still have it on special. When I booked the reservation on Opentable I requested that they put a candle in the dessert we order, but our waiter brought the lemon tart without it sadly. If you're coming for a birthday occasion I would recommend bringing your own candle and reminding them. read more

We enjoyed Lupo so much that we came here for dinner both nights we stayed in Banff (oops). Definitely try to come for Happy Hour if you can make it in time. When we went, a select number of pizzas and pastas were half off! Note that the pasta did come in a smaller portion. It does seem like their Happy Hour deal changed since we visited, as their website shows the HH deal is now $15 flat for pizzas and pastas. They make a delicious sourdough pizza, so you can really taste the tanginess in each bite. And their pastas are all handmade which adds a great freshness to the dish. As for drinks, if they still have the Aperol sour on their menu, I highly recommend it! It's got a balanced sweet and sour flavor that's super refreshing. Give Lupo a try! You'll love the breezy yet upscale atmosphere, fresh food, and great location downtown. read more

Great spot in downtown Banff for a great italian meal. We were on vacation in Banff and went to Lupo's based on a local recommendation. The ambiance is classy casual and they have a great patio on the second floor. Our server was great and recommended the chicken parm as well as the pork chop. We decided to stick with the chicken parm and it was great!. A little different than what you normally get with this dish but in a good way. Plenty for the 4 of us to share along with salads and one pasta dish. read more

Excellent service and great food - I would highly recommend the pepperoni pizza or rigatoni. Make sure you go during happy hour as they run several specials. read more

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. The entrées did not include soup/salad or bread. I had the pesto and my husband had seafood pasta. The salad lettuce was a little brown which was surprising. The leather chairs were worn and not in a good way. Maybe they're replacing them slowly as they weren't all like that. Our server Jane was wonderful. read more

After having just a terrible dining experience at the Japanese restaurant next door the night before that also had solid reviews, I was a little hesitant to try this place out. I am SO glad I did. We ordered 6 different pasta dishes, plus the stuffed chicken dish to share, caprese and fried mozzarella for apps, truffle fries and mushrooms as sides and we'd order everything again apart from the truffle fries. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauces excellent. The server was excellent, helpful, and attentive (water glasses were never empty). This place is the real deal. read more

We had such a fun night eating at Lupo. We came 30 min before our reservations and enjoyed drinks at the bar, and ended up being able to go to our table ~15 min early. We had meatballs & focaccia for starter and had rigatoni alla vodka w/ burrata and canestrini and sausage with burrata for our main course. All of our food was amazing and came very quickly!! The burrata we added on to our pasta and made the sauce extra creamy and delicious. The atmosphere was fun and every server we interacted with was so kind and helpful! We were pleasantly surprised that one of the owners/managers was a sommelier and helped us find a delicious wine to share. Overall, highly recommend Lupo! read more

We loved our dinner at Lupo during our trip to Banff! We had a large group and were seated in a beautiful nook in the restaurant. We enjoyed: - focaccia: served with delicious olive oil for dipping - Caesar salad: anchovy-forward dressing (how I prefer it) and fried capers! - spicy vodka pasta and sausage pasta: noodles were fresh. We enjoyed both pastas, but if we had to pick one, we would pick the sausage pasta. Definitely recommend!! read more

Italian deliciousness in Banff. My family enjoyed our dinner and our server was so nice and welcoming. We ordered, the mozzarella sticks (two large sticks which we cut in half, so that we each could have one), the cheesy garlic bread, the dry aged pork porterhouse, & Uncle Morty's Pizza. The pizza was my absolute favorite, topped with white sauce, mortadella, pistachios, fontina, truffle honey. read more

The best food I had in Banff. Legitimately good Italian food, not just good for a resort town. Come for their happy hours which are a STEAL from 5-6PM everyday. $12 aperol spritzes and like $12 ?? pizza and pastas. Amazingly delicious. We were in Banff for a week and ate here twice because it was SOOO good. For comparison, we also ate at the Fairmont and at Maple Grille and this was 100x better! Their josper roasted steak was amazing, and I was not expecting it. The last steak I ordered was some $300 Japanese imported A5 Wagyu in San Francisco so I was not expecting to be wowed, but I was! And it came with amazing vegetables and fried polenta sticks, super yummy. The josper roasted asparagus was also amazing... Pasta wise, loved the carbonara and the cacio e pepe the most. On the happy hour menu, you can get small portions I believe for less than $15. They make the pasta fresh everyday! Pizza wise, the uncle morty's on the happy hour menu was amazing (also the happy hour pizzas are less than $20 and like 13 inches! a steal!) and an unique combo I've never had with mortadella, white cheese and pistachio! The margherita was a classic, so good it reminded me of Delfina in SF or even pizzerias in Siciliy! My family of 4 ordered the entire happy hour menu and 2 of our favorites veggies twice (the caesar salad and the rapini and tahini appetizer). Had a lovely lambrusco glass for $12 multiple times throughout each dinner. Also loved their dessert wine. And there was a pineapple Park distillery vodka cocktail not on the happy hour menu that was amazing! Truly best meal of Banff by leagues! Highly recommend coming for happy hour at the very least at 5PM, a steal in the town price-wise and value-wise for sure! read more
