Reviews
Promptly seated for a 6:00 PM reservation despite the restaurant being fully packed, cheerfully and energetically alive, in the best way.
The service matched the vibe: warm, attentive, and efficient.
Our server was pleasant, and the food arrived quickly, hot, and fresh.
The focaccia was light, airy, and golden-brown.
I took a moment to admire my pasta (yes, I played with it a little before diving in), and it was worth the anticipation.
The Cacio e Pepe with shrimp was rich and comforting: creamy, thick noodles, peppery bite, succulent, fresh, delicate shrimp.
Another memorable evening at The Wharf, another reminder to savor the moments that stay with us.
Onto their menu offerings: lots of pizza options and what came out of the oven all looked really good even though none landed at my table. I opted for the seafood chiatarra…wow…loved the fresh, thick spaghetti! seafood was very fresh, juicy, and the sauce was flavorful yet light. It paired well with the Sauvignon Blanc.
Their Cacio e pepe was just as good. For a simple dish, it had that rich, cheesy and peppery flavors without being too starchy. Good with a nice crisp beer!
If you didn’t stuff yourself with food and still have room for dessert, do try the tiramisu! It’s not too sweet and what I had was so fresh you can taste the whipped mascarpone. Enjoy it with a doppio. Because how else are you supposed to digest your dinner.
We ordered a bottled of Italian Sauvignon blanc. I appreciate the waiter giving me a taste before pouring me a glass. It was crisp, dry with subtle hints of lemon. $70 a bottle, which normally goes for abt $20-$24 at the store or wholesale price, so it is definitely a little overpriced.
For apps, we got the arancini and fritto misto. Both delicious. Dinner, we got the Lobster ravioli & the Spaghetti Alla Rosa. The ravioli was delicious.
We didn’t stay for dessert, seemed like they were a little too busy and we decided to go elsewhere. Overall 3.9/5. Food was great, I just feel like something else was missing.

The atmosphere is relaxed yet stylish, the food is always delicious, and the service is truly top-notch. My guests are constantly impressed, and it’s clear that the team here takes pride in what they do.
If you’re looking for a place with great food, great energy, and staff who treat you like family, Lupo Marino is absolutely worth visiting. Highly recommended.
