    The food variety is well-chosen, and very delicious. Also, we really liked our server: Bailey, who was very nice and friendly. Thank you, and Happy Holidays!!

    This place would fit in Vegas! It’s classy, quality, luxurious vibes, and delicious. I can’t really describe this place in words. It’s an experience and if you’re looking for an authentic fancy Italian restaurant with good vibes, this is it! I was a fan of the Gorgonzola gnocchi🤤.

    For being hyped up I found the menu somewhat limited - and food quality was not exciting. Enjoyed my time because of the company but not because of the restaurant experience.

    This is my second time here, first as Italian Graffitti (earlier this spring) and last night as Lupessa. As IG, I remember the food as quite good and the service impeccable. Caveat here, they are still shifting menu items over from IG as well, although I don’t believe that should impact the experience. Last night, as Lupessa, the experience was not what I was expecting. My party of 6 was sat promptly when all had arrived, although there were still open seats across the restaurant and bar, even with the hockey game going on. The drink service was quite slow and continued that way through the evening, so much so that we repeatedly had to request drinks; taste wise they were delicious, except for the rosé which was sent back because of it being flat. The initial bread service was delayed and even impacted our ordering, although the manager agreed she would “make it right” in the end. The food fell far short of what I remember from IG, and was lukewarm at best. It looked like most of the food had a “warming layer” on the sauces by the time we received it, usually from sitting for too long and cooling. We ordered three desserts, maybe one was deemed “ok” by the table. I appreciate that we were a larger group of adults, and I understand service can be tricky. It doesn’t excuse the subpar food, especially for the price.

    The food didn't quite match the price. Unfortunately, I don't plan on returning to this establishment.

    Restaurant is beautiful inside and seating is comfortable. Our waitress was amazing and very attentive. Both me and my friend are gluten sensitive and she was able to point out our options and gluten free pasta is available to substitute on any pasta dish listed. The espresso martini was amazing! We also had the truffle fries, arugula salad, and scallops. All delicious! Highly recommend. But be prepared to spend some pennies!
