About this business
Lupa Trattoria is as good as it gets for Italian food in the region. It is an authentic Italian trattoria that uses the freshest of ingredients and seasonal specialties. The mastermind behind this restaurant is Chef Stefano Coppola, whose wholesome approach to cooking comes from his hometown of Rome. The restaurant has two menus; a regular one and a special menu of antipasta, pasta, soup and the main course. Sink your teeth into the agnello al balsamico: the grilled rack of lamb with mashed potato, baby carrots and spinach.

Real Italy – GREAT ITALIAN FOOD without N. Beach prices, parking or wait times. We take out of town guests here including the Italian ones. Everyone loves it. It has a wonderful neighborhood atmosphere. Most of the staff are Italian or speak it fluently. This isn't the Americanized red sauce stuff. (I do not think I've ever eaten anything here with a red sauce.) The wine list is simple yet it has many wonderful wines of Italy with a knowledgeable staff. I've learned the owner / chef had a restaurant in Rome before coming to ... read more
Awesome rigatoni, awesome fettucini, awesome carpaccio..... – Coming from Italy and now living here, this is one of my favorite places! I just wish I found it sooner when I moved here 9 months ago. Service is impeccable, I always go a little early so that the waiter isn't swamped and can actually hang out and talk a little. Every suggestion he's made has been wonderful even though I mostly try the specials each time I go. Lupa and La Ciccia are by far the best little authentic italian restaurants in the city!!
new rule: two strikes and you're out! – sloppy service (literally sloshing wine across the floor) and not waiting for us to answer the question "how is everything" before the waiter was stumbling off again. while it's true that the service can ruin an otherwise good meal, the food was terrible and after barely eating any, it gave me a terribly belly-ache. this was my second bad experience at what should be an otherwise quaint neighborhood restaurant. it's no wonder being seated quickly is so easy, nobody ever returns and i r... read more
One of the best Italian resturants in the city! – The best Lasagne I had ever had! It's amazing and tastes wonderful! I love the fennel salad that was a great appetizer! It is so authentic and the chef is a really great with desserts try the profiteroles!
La Dolce Vita! – We've been a fan since this chef was located on Nob Hill and the room was called La Luna Rosa. Yes, the food is fantastico! The appetizer selections are all wonderful. The pork and pollenta dish is extraordinary, as are the wide array of homemade pastas. The scalloppini melts in your mouth. And, of course, the deserts are real guilty pleasures! Lupa, though, has more than just good food. It has a quality that is difficult to describe - an authentic, welcoming, friendly environment that almost makes you feel ... read more
Around the corner from the pulsating Castro scene, this quiet trattoria turns out traditional northern Italian fare. – The Scene The front entrance, etched with Rome's legendary twin founders Remus and Romulus, belies the casual neighborhood feel inside, with wood tables, a fireplace and a gleaming steel-topped kitchen. The brightly lit, quiet space is populated with small groups of Castro locals, taking a breather from the neighborhood party scene. The Food The northern Italian menu focuses on seasonal Roman-influenced fare... read more
Excellent Restaurant – A note to Citysearch: This posting should be deleted as it is duplicative -- it is also listed as Lupa Trattoria on your website, and there are several reviews for this restaurant there. But just in case people miss that link, I'l paste in my review here: I have to disagree with some of the comments in the editorial review on Lupa. I live a few blocks from Lupa and eat there several times a month and every meal I've had here has been excellent. I love exploring San Franciso's restaurants, but I never t... read more
Great food, Great waiters, you can hear the italian roll of their tongue as you eat the amazing food. It's always a shock when you walk out of the resturant because you feel like you should be walking out onto the street of Italy. mmmm
Authentic and fresh – I am also surprised by the average review of Lupa - it is the most authentic Roman food in California (I lived in Rome for 2 years so I should know). Perhaps the reviewer is used to Americanized Italian food. Anyways, I had the ravioli last week and it was very flavorful and cooked perfectly. service was great and I found all of the Italian bantering very charming. I get to SF every few months and try and get to Lupa each trip.
