Was hoping to go to Lupo for a while and got to go for my birthday dinner. Loved the Octopus app. It was probably the most tender I have ever had! Good bread, too. I was thrilled with my entree, Bolognese, whichhad three kinds of meat!. My wife had very good chicken parm, as well. Got a free lemon mascarpone cheesecake slice for dessert. Very nice!

Lupo is a great restaurant for a nice dinner out! They had daily deals that were a very nice surprise. The food came out quickly, the servers were very nice, and the food was fantastic! We looked up reviews of the food before going and wasn’t sure if the Lobster Bucatini would be saucy enough but it was! Definitely would recommend.

One of our favorite places to go when we are celebrating. Yes, it’s a restaurant inside a hotel but don’t let that deter you. SoDel does an amazing job with every one of their restaurant concepts. The food here is just amazing! Highly recommend the Chicken Parmesan. My wife is a fan of their Cacio e Pepe. There are several other dishes we have tried and all of them are great. The wait staff here is always very friendly and helpful. Some of them I know from around town and they are genuinely nice people. Can’t say enough about them. The restaurant isn’t super large so making a reservation is highly recommended although walk-ins are accepted. It can sometimes get a little loud in the restaurant at times so if you were looking for a quiet spot this is probably not going work. That isn’t to say they are blaring rock music from the speakers, but a full restaurant of people chatting can get a little loud. Again, we love this restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good Italian meal.

Lupo Italian Kitchen in Rehoboth offered a slightly above-average dining experience. While the flavors were generally a bit bland, the pasta, though uniform in appearance (suggesting it may not be house-made), was acceptable. Unfortunately, the octopus was a letdown, characterized by a mushy texture and an old taste. On a positive note, the waitress provided excellent service.

I recently visited Lupo Italian Kitchen on a Sunday evening. Unfortunately, reserving online wasn’t possible due to full availability, so we had to walk in and wait for about 30 minutes, which wasn’t bad for 7 PM.
Despite having plenty of staff, the service was lacking. The check-in process was slow, and our waitress forgot to bring us a glass when we asked for a replacement. Drinks took a long time to arrive, though the Moscow mule tasted great. The staff did inform us that it was the bartender’s first night alone, which explained the delay.
Attention to detail was missing in some aspects. While the house-made ricotta tasted amazing, the portion was extremely small and not worth ordering. On the other hand, the cacio e Pepe was fantastic with a very generous portion, almost enough to split. The Shrimp Ala Pesto also tasted great with no complaints.
Overall, while the food was mostly delicious, the service needs improvement. Attention to detail and better management of staff could significantly enhance the dining experience.

We have been dining at Lupo for years. While the food continues to be amazing, the young hostess made our visit more than unforgettable in a bad way. She was extremely rude and when we told her the other members of the party had a major issue and have been calling multiple times but she wasn’t answering, she laughed and told us they could no longer save our table, even though two of us were present and willing to sit down and begin ordering for the group. This was after we had already said we were going to sit down and start ordering for the group. She was extremely rude (and on quite a power trip for being so young). Luckily I found a manager to speak to who was more than accommodating. I would recommend better training your hostess. On a positive note, the lobster pasta was amazing however due to this poor experience, we will not be returning.

Spectacular Italian restaurant in Rehoboth. Sophisticated menu at reasonable prices. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. I started with the Old School Meatballs and then had the Cacio E Pepe. Both were superb and reminded me of dining in Italy. Service was very friendly.

This restaurant had it all, great service, amazing atmosphere right in downtown Rehoboth attached to a lovely hotel. The dishes that we had were both amazing. The pasta is made fresh at the restaurant, the veggies were fresh as is they picked and cleaned them that day. Our waiter, Fionnbharr was solid and we shared amazing conversations with the couple that dine next to us.. let me know how your experience goes but you must eat there too tell me‼️

Must try their homemade pastas! Gnocchi dish was dream worthy. If you’re in town on Wednesday go for half off pasta dishes, otherwise dinner can be kind of pricey for the portion. Premium experience otherwise. Give this a try if you’re looking for something other than a seafood forward dining.
