We will be visiting Brooklyn in the summer. My daughter's name is Lupa and we are very excited to find SOMETHING with the same name. Where is it located and what is the atmosohere? Casual? Formal? Child friendly? Thank you from Montana
im sure one of our lupa experts will be here to serve you shortly. until then, why not have a look at Lupa's website. and thanks for submitting to the tree.
Lupa is on Thompson Street in the block just above Houston. That puts it in the West Village on the SOHO border. The atmosphere is casual, but the pace is frantic. The room and the food could be described as Italian peasant rustic. The staff is friendly, but harried. The prices are high, and the diners tend toward the foodie side, so even with the casualness this ain't no Olive Garden. Dressed down, but with a lot of buzz. Possibly the quintessential downtown NYC restaurant experience (as if it's possible to say such a thing.) Kids would be no problem.
Reservations are an absolute must for dinner. Don't even bother going without calling ahead (probably a few weeks.)
Worth the effort. Please let us know how you make out!
in the february issue of gourmet magazine is an article by jonathan gold about eating out in nyc with his seven-year old, and lupa is her favorite restaurant.
