Don't bother -- you will wait four weeks for a table and then be horribly disappointed. The wait staff are rude, the food is mediocre, and it was 80 degrees in the restaurant (and you sit on these horrible plastic covered seats that make your clothes stick to you). We left before finishing our meal because it was so uncomfortable -- and the food was not worth the discomfort. There are many restaurants in NYC with far better food and much nicer ambiance. If you are willing to wait a month for Batali, shell out the extra cash and go to Babbo. Or go as a walk in. But my advice is don't go at all. Lupa just isn't worth it.
Cons: Sub-standard food, Rude staff, Uncomfortable
