Great for creative cocktails

A chef-driven dining experience in the heart of Old Upper Arlington. Executive Chef Todd Elder prides himself on our constantly changing menu featuring ingredients from local partners at Hershberger Farms, Coast to Local Seafood, Bluescreek Farms, and Mushroom Harvest as well as a selection of globally imported goods. Each visit can become a new dining experience. Try a taste of Spain with a paella or go on a journey to Italy with a house-made pasta. Feeling adventurous? Then try a signature dish, slow braised and barbecued Octopus with seasonal pairings. Or stay close to home with a Smashburger or seasonal salad!

During summer nights relax with a Lupo craft cocktail, glass of wine, or local beer on the patio. Sit indoors and enjoy our cozy dining room, bar, or private Vault Dining Room. There is never any issue with parking at Lupo with our private parking lot next door and plenty of spaces out front!

Pros: The food (and we ordered A LOT!) and service were absolutely phenomenal. Honestly, some of the best in the entire city! Cons: It was pretty cold inside and I have an issue when places charge for bread (especially when your sister restaurant serves the same bread and doesn't charge - as they shouldn't). Lastly, picking nits, because we will definitely return, but the music was a little odd... alternating between like Khruangbin and 90's EDM.

Lupo is one of my favorite restaurants. The food and drinks are phenomenal. Their seasonal salads in particular are amazing. This time I had the seasonal poblano Caesar salad, which was delicious, and the seasonal burrata which was outstanding. The bacon wrapped dates are always amazing. Drinks were wonderful. Service is good.

We had an excellent experience! The service was so good! Mature services who were helpful and appropriate complemented the cozy atmosphere. The food was equally good and surprising. We really enjoyed the Smashburger and the dates appetizer. We will definitely be back!
