Very disappointing experience. It's a restaurant I've been keen to visit and saw Restaurant Week as a good opportunity to do so.
After we were seated we received a Restaurant Week Dinner menu even though we were there for lunch. I asked the waiter how it works and was told that the menu is the same, but portions are just smaller and we could choose an option from all 3 courses.
After having our selected starter we ordered our mains. A fee minutes later a "manager" arrives to tell us that we can't have what we ordered as those are only dinner options. He brings us the "lunch menu" and says we can choose off that. We were then informed that we can only have 2 courses and since we already had the starter, we can choose between a main or dessert. What annoyed me is I had specifically asked about it and was told a different story. No real apologies from anyone. Felt like their restaurant week offering and patrons were just a pain for them.
The food was good but the experience was terrible. Attitude allround wasn't great. Won't be going back there in a hurry

About Lupa Osteria Hillcrest

Cuisine: Italian

Lupa is the immortal Roman wolf goddess who trains Roman Demi gods in the ways of their city. Over seven foot tall & with beautiful chocolate red fur, she is reputed to have eyes as silver as the mist. Remus & Romulus were the twin sons of Mars & Rhea Silvia, who were thrown into the great Tiber river at the comm& of their evil great- uncle Amulius. They were saved by the great she - wolf who nurtured & raised them as her own young. Having grown strong under her guidance, the twins destroyed Amulius & established the city of Rome.


Lupa is a neighbourhood Osteria where one feels comfortable enjoying a casual affordable family dinner of pizza & pasta with a carafe of house wine or dining on shellfish, fresh fish & veal with corporate clients. We offer an inviting bar for a pre or post dinner cocktail or grab a pizza & a craft beer at a bar table. Pasta is homemade & pizza is wood fired using only imported 00 Italian flour, organic free range chickens & the finest veal we can source add to the authentic Italian experience.
