Lupo Restaurant and Vinoteca
Perfect Italian, post fine-dining renaissance.
Set in a gorgeous turn of the century heritage house in the heart of downtown, Lupo (one known as Villa del Lupo, a fine dining outing by the same management team) serves fresh reinventions of Italian classics in a vibrant atmosphere. Solid walnut floors, an antique fireplace and stained glass windows help to pull in a chic crowd, whilst the pre-event menu, served between 5pm and 6:15pm is perfect for theatergoers. The menu touches on the restaurant's former life as a posh eatery, incorporating artisanal touches like hand-rolled bread sticks and freshly ground sausages in amongst the gorgeous Spaghetti Nero (with a 3 hour braised squid), Lamb Shank Ossobucco and perfect Crème Caramel.
Top Tip / UJ Loves: Order the "Contorni" dishes for the whole table to share.
