Loved Lupa a year ago. Went yestearday and everything was sub-par, not bad, but mediocre. Pecorina brusselsprouts tasted only from the cheese, baccala appetizer was like something from out of a can, beet with pistacchio was ok but could have used someth extra likelemon juice, Saltimbocca was dry and uninspired and the pasta not any better than all the million Italian restos around Bleecker. The waitress seemed annoyed wgen we pointed out the dryness of the meat, which is sooo wrong. Lupa still has a great atmosphere to offer and the host (male) was wonderful. But why slag on the food? Mario B should know!
Pros: Atmopshere, Host
Cons: Attitude, Value, Taste balance
