Reviews
La Lupa delivers a strong punch from the first bite to the last. Our server Brian was outstanding, he was very passionate about their menu and gave us high praise for our choices.
10/10 no notes, best meal in Freehold area? No. Best meal in Jersey? No.
It was the best meal we’ve ever had and will absolutely return
We did the Pizza bar seats because we wanted to come 15 minutes earlier than our reservation. Only waited about 10-15 minutes for the couple before us but we were greeted by the host and he opened our bottle while we waited and walked us through the menu. Very nice guy, forget his name, but can tell he’s passionate about it.
Food was excellent and was very satisfied. 11/10. Gnocchi, wagyu skirt, brussel sprouts, diavola pizza, cookie and gelato. A lot of the favorites and can see why.
Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall service was some of the best I’ve seen in recent memory.
Cool story behind it as well being local friends and creating a dope restaurant. Tipsy Critic further confirmed my expectations before coming and we drove an hour from central Jersey. Will definitely be back!
Used to eating in NYC and North Jersey scene and this my favorite Italian restaurant. Intimate atmosphere, BYOB is a plus! Food and service are unmatched! Regular customer.
It is a high end italian steakhouse that offers premium cuts of steak and premium Italian dishes with ingredients imported from Italy, Every dish they have is great go experience it for yourself, its BYOB, its a nice dark setting and a overall great vibe!
We had read one negative review that mentioned guests feeling rushed, but in fairness, the restaurant is a cozy space with limited seating and set turnover times. The team was kind enough to explain this, and it’s really just about being mindful that others are waiting for a table too. We appreciated the transparency and thoughtful solution they offered us.
What truly stood out was how every single staff member greeted us and wished us a happy anniversary. The service was warm, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive without being intrusive.
For our meal, we started with the special appetizer of the night—a Montazza sandwich-style pizza—and it was absolutely phenomenal. The dough was next-level. For our main course, we shared the 24oz skirt steak and rigatoni carbonara, and you could genuinely taste the quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation. Everything felt fresh, handmade, and thoughtfully executed.
We left full, happy, and genuinely impressed. We’re already looking forward to returning in a few weeks and will absolutely be recommending La Lupa to our family and friends. Thank you, Dan, Chad, and the entire team for making our anniversary dinner so memorable!
