    Every part of our dining experience at Lupo was outstanding. I know chef Justin Leboe from his Calgary days, winning all the awards for his restaurants. So it was great to see that his food continues to be full of flavour, variety and unexpected twists. We were a group of 9, and our server herded us cats expertly, getting happy hour drinks and snacks in under the wire. Everyone loved their pasta mains, especially my al Limone (perfect with a glass of Soave). The atmosphere is bright and busy and super friendly. Definitely try their happy hour 🥂

    We had dinner on a Sunday night and it was a great experience. Our server Lucy was very friendly and attentive, she made sure we're not running out of water or drinks. The food was quick and delicious. The truffle fondue was my favourite. Overall a great experience.

    A fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Our waiter was very polite, friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely amazing, we had oysters and prosecco and olives and pecorino to start…wonderful! Then elk meatballs in a tomato sauce with spaghetti and bison bolognaise with tagliatelle which was out of this world, so delicious I asked for some bread to wipe my bowl clean lol. Then a delicious panda cotta to finish. The cocktails were great too. I would highly recommend a meal here, you won’t be disappointed. A great ambience in a great restaurant.
