    I sometimes let Lupo slip off our list of restaurants we frequent but having gone back twice in the last month am asking myself why. Such a charming well run site. Top notch service delicious food and a friendly quaint setting. Splendid wine list. Also - last night they really went above and beyond. Mid evening I dropped my purse at our table and the contents spilled. I thought I got everything, but about 10 minutes after we left the restaurant someone called to say they found keys beside our table. They were closing for five days, so could I come and get them? Could you imagine if they had not gone to the trouble, I would have been severely inconvenienced. Huge thank you to the great crew at LUPO!

    Great pizza and fun family restaurant. Noise level is high so conversation is a challenge, but ambiance is good. Service is fine, the place is humming. It's a good idea to book as it was busy when we arrived at 5:15pm. Price is mid range and suitable for the type of restaurant. We traditionally go here after the East Van Panto. Make a nice wrap to the Christmas season.

    All our meals were outstanding , we went for New Years Day Brunch . Unfortunately whoever did the scheduling for that day did not put enough servers and baristas on the floor . The group in front of us waited over half an hour for their table that they had previously made a reso for … we waited 20 minutes for ours . ( we had a reso , too) They had one woman making ALL the drink orders AND trying to seat people at tables AND also she was clearing tables and taking orders , she was run off her feet , we all felt bad for the few people that were working that day .BUT they were all friendly and did a great job ,with the situation , applaud the staff that were working that day ,,, our food was delicious , the service was great, it’s not their fault they didn’t schedule enough people to work that day .
