- Chad HornerFebruary 17, 2017so many excellent pastas, perhaps the best course of action is the pasta tasting menu (only $49!). pictured are the bucatini all'amatriciana and pork belly tortelloni; delicious
- Mario Batali's take on Italian classics with surprisingly good prices and excellent service. Go on Tuesday and get the duck special. Amazing! You'll come back for more.
- Michelle A.February 18, 2013Everything is delicious and well prepared but the sweet potato angolotti is a truffle lover's dream. The service for private parties is excellent. They were highly attentive.
- R DOctober 21, 2018Upscale italian flare. The spaghetti carbonara is the best we’ve ever had and could give Italy a real competition, with perfectly creamy sauce and well-rendered pancetta.
- Kathy LiuJune 24, 2018Cozy place for a light, romantic candlelit dinner. Save some room for the delicious s’mores gelato. They have a pasta tasting menu that comes with wine pairings and is good if you’re famished.
- Victor LowJuly 26, 2017Umm, this place is so freaking delicious. Roman-style Italian food, great wine list, excellent service. Get the Summer Melon "Panzanella" while its available. Oxtail Ravioli & Spaghetti con Pomodoro!
- Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Batali-Bastianich's Italian trattoria is always busy, so make reservations in advance. The well-executed pastas, such as the spaghetti pomodoro, and plates (the pork belly!) are well worth the hassle.
- Chelsea BalkanAugust 26, 2017#FabuLIST #DubiDO tasting menu is perfect for those that can't decide on just one pasta dish. Come hungry because the portions are huge. My fav were spaghetti carbonara and bucatini amatriciana
- Laura GinsbergMarch 4, 2019We ordered the Bucatini All’Amatriciana and Bavette Cacio e Pepe, both of which were simple, flavorful, and delicious. Our waiter recommended the Cirò Rosso Classico Suoeriore, which we also loved.
- DoubleDeuceMarch 2, 2022The food is delicious, of course, and the wine too. It's a bustling little spot and best for a party of 3 or 4. If you're only 2, then you risk being sat with another group of 2.
- KarenJuly 23, 2023The food, from appetizers, to entrees, to sides, to desserts, are all stellar. The service is also excellent. Smart dress is better. Casual okay, but you'll stick out.
- Mads MarzJanuary 7, 2017Cozy Italian restaurant with homemade pastas and full body vinos. The orecchiette was some of the best I've had yet and the calamari was light and fresh with cucumbers and cantaloupe! 👌🏼
- Erin SheaNovember 30, 2018Delicious pastas. Great wine list. Very cute place with an authentic feel.
- Destination: Anywhere & EverywhereDecember 6, 2014For antipasti-Carciofi Alla Giudia or lingua and teste from the meat tray. Ricotta gnocchi was amazing as was the bucatini all'americana. Sunday braciola was very soft and tender. For dessert tartufo
- Hannah HanNovember 19, 2014Finally tried this place on a Thurs 10pm. A candle lit/dim ambiance was good. Warm prosciutto salad/ cacio e pepe/ carbonara were all very simple but flavorful. Tartufo was very rich/ hazelnut-y!!
- Akshay GDecember 7, 2019Some of the best burrata in the city. Cacio e pepe or the mushroom papardelle is a must. They are happy to split pastas between 2 as well.
- Michelle WilesApril 26Bread plate is fab, the spicy black pasta is a must, and the kale Caesar (not really a Caesar - grapefruit?) is also pretty good
- Paige CMay 9, 2018Wonderful food, drinks and service! Their pastas are phenomenal. So is the prosciutto.
- Chloe HNovember 3, 2015Get the charred baby octopus, homemade garganelli, the bucatini all'Amatriciana and the lamb scottadito with a great bottle of wine.
- SelenFebruary 7, 2019We tried casarecce with short rib ragu and bucatini all’amatriciana here, both were very good.
- Nicolette RomeroDecember 5, 2014Do the Roman tasting menu and split a bottle of wine. Each pasta was delicious. The ravioli randomly stood out. You will leave stuffed!!
- Newell McNairOctober 28, 2016The space is a bit dense with tables, but surprised not too noisy. Excellent food. Linguine with shrimp and mussels is delicious!
- Michael Fox-RabinovitzApril 12, 2015Absolutely phenomenal pasta, if you are really really hungry get the 5 pasta sampler, delicious, and lemon sorbet to end.
- All about the pasta here. Skip the entrees. Go with the garganelli, and have a glass of Barolo. Get the tripe if they have it. Lots of wines from Bastianch. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
- Get the pasta tasting! Spaghetti Carbonara and Ricotta Gnocchi are amazingly good!
- Sam WinnickMay 6, 2015The salad and pastas are amazing but the manager is the rudest person ever. Cacio e Pepe is fantastic.
- Jeff SolomonJanuary 18, 2020Great spot. Try the oxtail, charcuterie board, burrata cheese, Brussel sprouts, rigatoni Bolognese
- New York HabitatOctober 28, 2011Another Mario Batali restaurant, Lupa is a nice casual place with classic Italian dishes and a nice atmosphere. Try one of their pastas, we recommend the Ricotta Gnocchi.
- Angel MartinezOctober 20, 2013This is one of Mario Batali's restaurants in NYC. The Spaghetti All'Amatriciana is delicious & so is the Ricotta Gnochi with Sausage and Fennel.
- Halstead PropertyDecember 14, 2011They have a great white wine selection which we recommend pairing with their bavette cacao and pepe entrée. The formaggi cheese is just potent enough and not at all overwhelming
- Food NetworkAugust 10, 2011Lupa, Mario Batali's casual, Roman-style trattoria serves classics dishes like, Cacio e Pepe. Specialty Dishes include Prosciutto Di Parma and Pollo Alla Diavola. Find more tips at FN Local. Read more
- Roula HannaSeptember 5, 2015Visit part of the Walks of NY tour. You must try their ricotta gnocchi with salami sauce. It's delicious
- Mario ChapelaJune 28, 2018Great food, a little noisy; great service; the cacio e pepe and the porchetta were awesome
- RTWgirl ArnetteNovember 12, 2014The gnocchi is made here with ricotta rather than typical potato so makes for a creamier dreamier version!!
- Sharon TsaoJune 17, 2016The food was really good -- impressed by the selection, quality, and the wine pairing. I was disappointed by the dessert though.
- Henrik OscarssonJuly 10, 2013If you' re looking for good italian food, this is the place. Cozy environment, excellent food! But make sure you book a table, the place gets crowded.
- Kathryn DApril 23, 2017Vibrant atmosphere and truly satisfying pastas. Lots of vegetarian options but the cacio e pepe stands out.
- Examiner.comMarch 24, 2011The only thing you'll want after this delicious Italian food is its most popular desert. Lupa's tartufo is a baseball sized chocolate orb that comes beautifully decorated with nuts and chocate sauce. Read more
- fluffy_passport 🎀June 20, 2017Had the spinach salad with apple and crispy speck: tasty. Nice service, however, had to ask for seasoning like salt and balsamic because they weren't on the table, and then waited for 5 more minutes
- N AvedisOctober 8, 2018I loved this place both for their drinks, food and dessert. Pastas are amazing.
- MarthaMarch 7, 2015I don't love this place. always packed and service is rushed and sort of disinterested. food is tasty though, so if the other parts don't bother you, you may enjoy.
- Marisa TomAugust 15, 2011One of my all-time favorite Italian restos in NYC. Everything is good here. Try the seasonal dishes and of course, la saltimbocca.
- JoyJuly 7, 2011Late night Roman menu (3 course prix fixe menu offered after 10pm--you have to ask for it) is a total steal after a long day exploring New York. Busy place, so just reserve online.
- Jenny DomiziAugust 28, 2013Lupa is a great spot for Italian food! We ordered pasta and it was great. Reservation is a must!
- Been here many times before & had loved it but this time was definitely not what it used to be. Porchetta was way way overcooked & the carbonara which as previously the best I’ve had was just meh.
- Jessica ANovember 7, 2014My love for Italian started here. I still dream of their ragu. It's inspired a trend to try ragu everywhere I go, nothing has come close.
- Thompson HotelsMay 24, 2011Our concierge William at Smyth says that the Braised Oxtail with Gnocchi alla Romana is sublime. Also the Spaghetti alla Carbonara is the best in the city.
- Sarah DrydenAugust 22, 2017Lovely ambience, cozy pastas. Get the tagliatelle; the amitriciana was very salty.
