    Another outstanding dining experience. This is one of the best run restaurants we like to dine at. Being someone who follows a gluten free diet I can enjoy everything they serve here because all products come from Italy and doesn't bother me at all. Hopefully one day they get a bigger spot so it's not so hard to get in. Keep up your commitment as serving outstanding food and great service. See you soon

    Music was a little loud and the seating is tight…..That is my only complaint! It was the best meal I have had in a long time. All the food was amazing. All the food was fresh and prepared perfectly. The service was amazing. I have spent a fortune dining at Jasper’s Stone and The Block. This place kicked their $sses. I spent 1/3 of what I spent at The Block and left full. Their portions are perfect as well.

    Another delicious meal at LaLupa! Started with the tuna crudo and suppli for appetizers, then split the ribeye (cooked perfectly), anolini and brussel sprouts. Finished off the meal with the warm cookie.
