Coming from an extremely large, extremely Italian family, I am a pretty harsh critic of Italian food. Lupa was recommended to me, so I decided to try it with a friend, and I was soooo impressed. The foccacia they serve is delightful to start... And the gnocchi! I almost cried out of happiness. They were perfectly light and the ragu was just outstanding. The portions are smaller than usual at American restaurants (making it even MORE classic Italian, where portions generally ARE smaller), but the dishes are all fairly rich, so it is absolutely satisfying. Also, I tend to drink a large amount of water, and the servers were so attentive. My glass was never left unfilled. Really outstanding restaurant.
Pros: To-die-for gnocchi, nice atmosphere, great service
