Worst

Great food for a crowd 7/12/2002

Some folks don't get this modest outpost of the Batali/Bastianich empire. First off, you have to buy into the fact that it's a New York spin on the neighborhood-oriented Roman Osteria. Next, you can best enjoy the menu when you share lots of stuff ""family style"" with a bunch of people (two couples minimum). Lastly, ignore dinner and show up for lunch promptly at noon. Take a table in the bar area and be prepared for a satisfying and inexpensive meal. Order two antipasti (affetati piccolo and frutti di mare piccolo), two primi (bucatini all' Amatriciana plus ricotta gnocchi with fennel sausage ragu) and two secondi (saltimbocca and the ""plate of the day""). Your bill will be $82 plus tax/tip. Not bad. Pros: good food, inexpensive, creative menu Cons: not for singles, dinner can be rushed more

eat some meat 7/10/2002

The cured meat plate is delicious if you like that sort of thing, which I do. Ate here twice - once at a table and once at the tiny bar facing the kitchen. Both meals were very good. The service was friendly and very competent - the waiter recommended a fantastic inexpensive wine. If you sit at the bar you'll get a good look at the charming chef and the hardworking playfulness of the kitchen staff. The ambience is warm East Village hipness. more

Lupa Sucks 6/26/2002

This place sucks. Seriously. We ordered 2 vegetables, one second, and a cheap bottle of wine, (really dinner for one, drinks for 2) at a cost of $91. Now, the price is not what makes this place suck, but it competes with the food for leaving a bad taste in your mouth. All analogies aside, Lupa is salt heavy to the point of turning out inedible food. The food, sans salt, would still not warrant a visit. The fact that anyone would ever eat here twice speaks to the curious popularity of everything lame in this world. Worst meal in NYC. more

LUPA WAS WORTH THE WAIT! 6/20/2002

I HAD TO BOOK A RESERVATION 4 WEEKS IN ADVANCE BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH IT! THEY PROMPTLY SEATED US ON TIME AND WE WERE SEATED IN THE BACK WHERE IT IS A LITTLE QUIETER. OUR SERVER WAS GREAT - HELPFUL AT ANSWERING QUESTIONS AND MAKING SUGGESTIONS! THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. THEY ALSO HAVE A GREAT WINE LIST. THIS WAS A TRULY WONDERFUL DINING EXPERIENCE. I WLL DEFINITELY GO BACK! Pros: GREAT BREAD Cons: A LITTLE LOUD more
