It was probably our fourth time here and food is always great, despite mine being a bit on the spicy side. It’s a bit more cost wise for the pasta dishes than some other establishments but in today’s world, not outrageous. My only issue was a party of 6 or so were seated next to us and to describe them as obnoxiously loud is an understatement and really made the experience less than ideal. Not sure what, if anything, a restaurant will do in these circumstances normally but not being able to hear each other talk during dinner kind of defeats the purpose of going out and enjoying dinner. Unfortunately will think twice about going back.

This is a world-class+ restaurant, which charm, at reasonable prices for value. The service is faultless. The food is adventurous without being weird. Good wine list. When in Vancouver, we always put it on the calendar and never have a reason to second-guess our decision.

My experience at Lupo restaurant was excellent. The food, wine, and service exceeded our expectations. The wait staff went above and beyond our visit when we had a accident at our table toward the end of the meal. The professional expertise that they showed in remeding the issue was comforting. I'll be back next Valentines Day.....Meanwhile keep up the great traditional Italian cuisine for the rest of us to enjoy.

Loved it. Staff is SUPER friendly and always looking after your well-being. They separated our salad into separate dishes knowing that we were sharing (without our request) and had the tongs ready to go to share our pastas. The pasta portions were large and definitely worth it. Affogato to finish!

This was our second time eating at Cafe Lupo, and even though our first visit was basically perfect it was even better on our second meal. The salad and appetizers were excellent. The bread selections are perfection with the meal. Our entrees allowed us to eat all we wanted and still have plenty to take home. The tiramisu was excellent and the service was perfect. I look forward to returning soon.
