Duck cacciatore
Margo A.

Our entire family came in from all over the country to celebrate my grandma's 85th birthday, and we went to Lupo at her request. Had I known what our experience would be like throughout the night, I would have suggested we go elsewhere. When we arrived, the hostess was immediately annoyed that only 12 of the 14 people in our party had arrived. The reason that two of those people were late was because my grandma needed someone to push her wheelchair in. And on the note of the wheelchair, which was collapsible, the staff insisted that it was taking up too much space and removed it from the dining room. This detail will become important later. The food was okay. The meatballs were pretty average and the grilled octopus was flavorful, but my cache e pepe was a bit lacking in flavor. We had my grandma's birthday cake for dessert, and the waitress serving it acted deeply inconvenienced by having to cut it and bring it to everyone our table. At no point did any of the wait staff ever ask how our food was or bring more water to our table. The icing on the cake: immediately after the bill was paid, the hostess brought my grandma's wheelchair back in. At no point did we say that we were ready to leave, so it was deeply insulting to feel like my grandmother was being told it was time for her to leave by the staff. We wanted to take some family photos-- because, again, our family doesn't often get to see each other-- and the wait staff not only didn't help us take them but also proceeded to seat a single table directly behind us as we were taking them instead of waiting two minutes for us to finish. This restaurant is absolutely not equipped for handicapped people or large parties. We couldn't move my grandma out of the restaurant easily, and when we were finally rushed out a side door by the hostess, the door was immediately pulled closed by the hostess and locked before my boyfriend and my grandma were even fully out, splitting our party in half. The other half of our party was quickly ushered out of the front door by the same hostess. The tables at which we were sitting stayed empty, so I'm not really sure why there was such a rush to get us out of the restaurant. Lupo was previously my grandma's favorite Italian restaurant, but I can't imagine that she will ever want to come here again. I am deeply disappointed in how the restaurant staff treated her on such a milestone occasion. The hostess needs some serious training on how to treat both large parties and people who are handicapped.

Really enjoyed the meal here....cocktails were good, appetizers were ok....Entrees were good, shrimp pasta with a touch of citrus, risotto with braised short rib ( only comes about this was that it was topped with bacon and I don't believe it said that). It's a nice spot and service was adequate.

The shaved Brussels salad was probably the highlight of the meal. The pasta (lobster bucatini and cacio e Pepe) was good but nothing special. Overall we had a fine experience here, though the food is relatively pricey and you could probably find better in the area.

Andrea S.

No sales tax!!! We can get used to this! Beautiful restaurant - looks very nice. Delicious food. The olive oil for dipping bread was to die for.

Amana C.

Hostess was adamant about not seating us until our entire party of 8 was there even though we said the remaining few were parking and almost here and thus we lost our table. Another party of the same size at the same time was seated and took our table even though half of their party wasn't even there. Hostess was so rude. Never coming back.

Peaches and goat cheese special
Holly D.

We love lupo! This Italian spot has the most amazing homemade pasta dishes and appetizers to go with it. They do have happy hour but it's only at the bar, so when you order from the table during happy hour it is regular price. For an appetizer we got the peach and goat cheese, which had an interesting taste (the peaches were suspiciously not peach tasting) although we did love it. The bolognese and spaghetti with meatballs are classic dishes that they do incredibly well. They don't have many vegetarian options, but they were happy to accommodate by making a side of pasta with burrata on top. The price point is a little high, but pretty average for Rehoboth.

I cannot say enough good things about Lupo-- great food, tasty drinks, amazing service and a lovely atmosphere to chat the night away. My friend and I had the artichokes-- add the lemon-- incredible. It wasn't my first time having them-- and it won't be my last! We shared the Cesar salad as well. Large enough for two. They will ask if you want it with anchovies or to hold them. Andddd last but not least, we had the lobster bucatini. This is a smaller pasta dish-- and too good to share! ( but we did share it.) If you're hungry and didn't order appetizers, you probably won't wanna share this dish.. Loved my pear martini. Lovely and smooth. Always a favorite place to go and I'll be back!

Grapefruit Martini
Heather R.

The service was perfect and highly professional. The main dining room can get noisy with a full crowd. They do offer reservations through Open Table with no deposit required. There was no off street parking so it may be a challenge to park nearby during the Summer months. We will definitely be back here for dinner when in Rehoboth Beach.
