About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
A chef-driven dining experience in the heart of Old Upper Arlington. Executive Chef Todd Elder prides himself on our constantly changing menu featuring ingredients from local partners at Hershberger Farms, Coast to Local Seafood, Bluescreek Farms, and Mushroom Harvest as well as a selection of globally imported goods. Each visit can become a new dining experience. Try a taste of Spain with a paella or go on a journey to Italy with a house-made pasta. Feeling adventurous? Then try a signature dish, slow braised and barbecued Octopus with seasonal pairings. Or stay close to home with a Smashburger or seasonal salad!

During summer nights relax with a Lupo craft cocktail, glass of wine, or local beer on the patio. Sit indoors and enjoy our cozy dining room, bar, or private Vault Dining Room. There is never any issue with parking at Lupo with our private parking lot next door and plenty of spaces out front!

    Our sever Dana was very attentive, fast and helpful. She was knowledgeable about the drinks and entrees, took our pictures, even gave our friend complimentary cake for her birthday. Outdoor seating was perfect for mamas’ night out! Drinks were really good. Salmon and shrimp were salty; but other entrees we ordered were good. Would definitely recommend and come back!

    Friendly service. Ordered bread service and salads. Romaine was not as crisp as we would have liked but loved the texture of the Cesar salad. Drinks were delicious but wanted a straw in my tall glass.

    We were two couples and this was our first visit to Lupo, although two of us had been to La Tavola, their sister restaurant, many times. We ordered the olives and the crispy artichokes as appetizers. The artichokes were outstanding, something I don’t remember seeing before on the menu anywhere local. Main courses were the chicken and polenta and the Thai curry. Again outstanding. The service was very good, although my one complaint was that the main courses arrived much too soon after the appetizers were served. We ate indoors, which was a little noisy, but the outside area seemed quieter and very pleasant.

    We had a delightful dinner on the patio. We had some of the appetizers and shared plates, which were both excellent, and then we enjoyed one of the dinner specials, which was also very good. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine. Overall, a very delightful evening. Can't wait to go back.

    We had a great experience, loved the quiet atmosphere. Our server Dana was great! Our food was great, we felt the espresso martinis were a bit heavy on the “coffee” and felt the price for drinks was a bit too high. Otherwise we will definitely be back.
