These guys know a thing or two about excellent service and hospitality, and that goes before mentioning the amazing food we had… the floor manager Chad and our service team made sure our birthday celebration for a friend went smoothly and we had an unforgettable first experience - we will be back! The pasta dishes were great, but the lamb …
Went with my sister and girlfriends for a well needed girls night. We were well taken care of by Anthony, our server, and shout out to Dan! The food was sensational, cooked to perfection, and brought out at the perfect timing. The dessert is truly where it is at. Olive cake, brownie, must haves. Truthfully anything you pick will be …
Is a very nice restaurant with very good Italian food and fresh ingredients. The music they play suits the place. The servers name was michael. He gave an interactive experience. If you would like any wine or alcoholic drinks you have to bring your own.
La Lupa is a new-found gem in the area 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!
One of the best restaurants I’ve tried, and definitely my favorite local one in Central Jersey! Mike is always a great waiter. Never had a dish I didn’t like. Must try dishes are the Tuscan chicken, steak tartare if available, carbonara, any of the pizzas, Kansas City, Skirt steak is a close 2nd steak. Used to eating in NYC and …
Smaller than I expected on the inside but a great vibe and they operate well even with the tighter space. 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 …
Dinner at La Lupa was great! Our server, Brian, was very accommodating and helpful. For appetizers, we ordered the supplì, and split the Lupa pizza. For our main meal, we ordered the rigatoni carbonara and the bucatini amatricana. For a side, we got the cacio e pepe potatoes. We were too full for dessert, but we did end of with …
The good, the bad, and the ugly. In reverse order, the UGLY... its a little too dark. The BAD... a little loud and small. Now for all of the GOOD! The treatment and hospitality is bar non one of the best! Brian was my waiter and he definitely knew what he was doing and talking about. Offering his recommendations being …
My wife & I waited 3 months to get a reservation here and it was absolutely worth the wait. 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? …
My boyfriend and I came here for his birthday dinner, and from the moment we walked in, everything was incredible. Chad greeted us right away and, even though our wait was less than 15 minutes, he went above and beyond bringing us prosciutto and parmesan and even opening our wine so we could enjoy it while we waited. Such a …
