The staff is always so nice & accommodating. The ambience is always great- we love the music. But the best thing about La Lupa is the food. It’s always so fresh, so different, and so so delicious. The skirt steak melts in your mouth. The pasta makes us feel like we’re back in Italy. Our favorite restaurant in Jersey, hands down.

Food is amazing. Vibe is chill. Best 90's hip hop music. Wait staff was anttentive and courteous. There is always a wait even with a reservation because no one wants to leave! So just keep in mind - don't go there in a rush!
