Enjoy going to Lupa for dinner, this time I tried the Stuffed Trio pasta - which is a combination of three different types of stuffed pasta tossed in a butter sage sauce.The meal was delicious and rich -Perfect for a cold day i did however feel that it was a bit pricey at R125 for the portion below.
Friendly staff and quick service. Compared to other Lupas however the food quality was disappointing. The pork ribs was a complete rip off at R330.00. Sadly wont be back a second time.
Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff, great pizza
Finally found a place that serves less chicken on their pizza than Debonairs. The new king is in town. Well done Lupa 👏
I ordered the sole, generous portion consisting of 2 well prepared large sole on a bed of mash and spinach which helped the flavor, as sole is a bland tasting fish in my opinion. The missus had the seafood marinara pasta, once again, a generous portion, prawn, mussels and calamari done just right, pasta and sauce was decent.Restaurant was extremely quiet so service was good.
This is the best Lupa experience I have ever had. The service is excellent! All the staff are friendly and attentive to all customers. The food was amazing! The mushroom beef fillet and baby chicken were cooked to perfection and we were served a generous portion too. Overall a 5 star experience and would go back anytime!
Excellent service and even better food! Definitely worth a visit.
There is one pizza there is vegetarian option, but it taste nice
Excellent food. Was very shocked that a Greek restaurant had run out of lamb though!
They’re pretty stingy on the toppings, I got a single slice of pepperoni per pizza slice, but the quality is good
Beautiful food 🍲, friendly staff and good ambience
Had s birthday lunch here with a large group. The service was excellent. Starter platters arrived hot, tasty and generous.Mains however were a mixed bag with the vegetarian option having a sprinkling of bacon, very tasty but definitely not for the vegetarians. The chicken limone was small, overcooked and the sides took way too long to come. All the o the mains were good. Creme brule was tasty but no snap. Kitchen staff seemed overwhelmed but the waiters compensated for this.We were allowed to take in decor and a cake and that was appreciated.
Very enthusiastic staff...it actually rubs off and you find yourself smiling and happier. The Alfredo was mouth watering!!! I forgot I was on diet even *hides*
Very nice place with regards to decor. Waiters know the menu well. Pizza is good. Just the heartburn from pizza I had.
Friendly waitrons, great food with amazing vibe and atmosphere. Loved it here with the fam!
Great food but the service was not great.
The street of restaurants puts you on a winning streak. Steak, fish, pizza, poultry and all in one space.
Ate here on a Sunday for lunch, there was live music and Chris was our waiter, a very charismatic one at that.The restaurant is situated in the heart of umhlanga on Chartwell drive. The place has a great ambience and the service staff are pleasant and serve you without being too present.We had the sea food platter as well as a few starters which definitely were amazing, the only starter I didn’t enjoy was the dusted calamari(just tasted like deep fried stuff)Facilities are clean and they allow for corkage Incase you want to bring your own wine or champagne. Beer selection is also fantastic.Will definitely go back there when I’m in umhlanga again.
Good food. Good service. Always seem to have interesting specials and something on the menu for everyone. Was busy and not all patrons were consistently wearing masks.
Good quality food. Plenty specials.
Excellent food. A bit pricey but very tasty!I recommend the grilled calamari.
Chose Lupa for lunch because they have a vegan burger and a vegan pizza. Was exited to try the Green Burger with the Beyond meat patty. Unfortunately they did not have the vegan mozzarella or the vacon to complete the burger and pizza. I had the green burger anyways with extra mushrooms, it was just ok. It would have been better with all the ingredients on it.
Lovely food and ambience, great service from their staff. Our expectations were met and I would recommend the restaurant without any reservations.
Went in for early lunch, really nice setting, really warm waiters, gluten free option on the menu, gluten free pizza was not available monday, but we had the melazane and an alternate options, very well prepared and really tasty, served with freshly shaved parmesan, it was realy reasonable for the quality and the service. Paid with Zapper.
Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Atmosphere was amazing.
Great food, great service...stunning restaurant and position
Food delicious. Staff super friendly and efficient.
Italy in umhlanga, the crumb veal and char grill steak is melt in the mouth, good range of cocktails. Only negative words will be that they need to serve more vegetables with the meals.
Average Italian, but with some nice light specials at lunch time.
Great food, great service.
I took my husband there for his 60th birthday. What a disappointment. Great service, but the pasta wasnt great and is vastly overpriced. Could just be we are fussy as we make our own pasta at home, but we were not impressed at all.
Really enjoyed this Restaurant, food arrived quickly, we received good service from our waitron, the lasagne, zucchini fries, veges, spagetti and meatballs and the nutella crepes were just the best. One star less as food was slightly cold, but cant wait to go back again. The Kingklip and prawns also had great flavours, not the usual boring garlic butter poured over.Great atmosphere.
Italian food at its best. Well placed with a very good service.You will go back many times.
Terrific food! Great live music.
Great Italian Food
Great food, great service, great place = great experience.
We had the lunch special which was great value for money. Portions and quality were excellent.
Meat dishes was not so great. The Pizza and pasta was best experience...
Good food 😋
Service was excellent and food outstanding. This restaurant is recommended!
I was looking forward to our sit down meal today. Was told only good things about the restaurant.But, upon entering the restaurant, the waiter who took us to our table who was also the one serving us, did not wear his mask properly.Then, as I looked around, numerous staff did the exact same thing. Even the staff pouring drinks and preparing the food. Masks only covering part of their mouth. All seats also aren’t spaced out to adhere to social distancing.I totally get it!! It is difficult to wear the masks, but, it’s a small price to pay to ensure customers are comfortable, at ease and feel safe it the restaurant.The next thing: The balsamic fillet with avo meal says it comes with risotto. Then, at the bottom it lists options to choose a side...one side.The waiter said....if we take the risotto and choose ONE side, we get charged extra for that side. So, it’s either the rice that is listed on the actual line of the meal with the price next to it, OR choose something else. But if you choose something else, you get charged for it.The food is expensive, good, but expensive!!! And, I had to pay it while feeling constantly uncomfortable.I am giving them a 4 star for the fillet
They make the best pasta i loved it!
Worst eating experience of my life. Langoustine pasta turned out to be shrimp.Lamb chops was like rubber. My wife and I walked of restaurant not eating. Asked to talk to owner but manager just zeroed bill.
Super friendly staff (thanks Chris) and the meals were all excellent
Average .No bolognaise or lasagne without pork sadly
Nice food and good vibe. Service is a bit slow but it was busy on a Saturday evening.
Not authentic. Ordered mushroom ravioli and sauce was extremely heavy. Staff was nice and service quick.
Had the lovely nacho pizza. Highly recommended
Excellent food and service. Very accommodating. 👌
Nice and cosy
Superb pasta and pizza, service was a bit lacking, long waits and missed items on orders. Other than that, the food is great. They have this mushroom filled pasta thingy, flippin divine.
FantasticWill visit again
Good food and atmosphere
Great pasta and pizza! Just avoid the meatballs
Great Lunch
We went there for a special occasion and my mother had purposely booked a specific table for our group. Low and behold, when we arrived a few minutes late, we see that they had already given our table away. No phonecall to check that we were still coming or anything...quite disappointing...also, their vegetarian options were a bit limiting.
Brilliant service and very good food
Absolutely Love This Lupa. Nothing But Brilliant Service Always! Thank You Samuel and Team 🌟
Awesome place ,great service, lovely meal.l enjoyed it a lot.
I don’t often give a place 5 stars, because I believe there is always room for improvement. However, in this case I cannot name a single thing they could’ve done differently.Went “restaurant window shopping” on our first night on holiday and ended up at Lupa.The service was excellent. Can’t remember the last time we had such great service - thank you to Mike for making this a relaxed evening. I can never understand how restaurants don’t realise the value of service - in this case they definitely do. All the staff at Lupa were helpful and attentive and well trained.The food was superb: the Langoustine pasta is every bit as delicious as it sounded; my daughters were super impressed with the gluten free pizza bases; the balsamic and avo fillet was the absolute star of the evening. Have never tasted anything like it before.DO NOT MISS the Cremino al Cioccolato! It is the best dessert you will ever have.They also make the best Aperol Spritz in Umhlanga.We did go back 2 days later for a quick lunch- great experience and food all over again. We even re-tested the Aperols and were not disappointed. This time there was the Meaty pizza, Risotto, Ribs and gluten free Lupa pasta on the table. Every single dish delicious.Well worth going! Well done, Lupa!
Fantastic service, great friendly staff, excellent food
The food was poorly prepared and presented. It was extremely expensive for what was delivered.
Great service good wine and and nice pizza s
Excellent service, I recomend the lasagna ,probably one of the best I have so far
Great food, and great service from Michael, who is very enthusiastic.
I ordered the veal Marsala with mash, it was horrid the sauce was tasteless full of oil and the mash was disgusting also soaked in oil. I complained to the waitress and the manager did not even come and see me.
A nice quality Italian restaurant in the village, that does the classics well, but also innovates with some great signature dishes. Service is efficient and friendly. The environment is conducive to both ad hoc meetings during the day to relaxing with friends and family in the evening
Food was delicious but just too many people right next one another, especially during these covid times
Great service overall. The food is well prepared.
Good Food. Good Service.
We had lunch here every single day during our holiday in Umhlanga. Absolutely delicious food and great service! Vincent was an amazing waiter to have!
Good food good service cold beer
Great cocktails and a fun after lunch chill out place... not much of a view
