We enjoyed another great meal at La Lupa on 9th Feb. I was a little concerned from the recent poor reviews, and while the service is slow the food was as good as ever. The bruschetta, pizzas and meatball spaghetti were amazing! Oh and the tiramisu was great! Although the service is slow I actually quite enjoyed not being rushed to order and so it made for a very relaxed evening.

Awful trip here, took two hours for the food, hair in the starter which was blamed on us as apparently the chefs were all bald but when I walked out to get some fresh air they all had black hair which was in the food. Food was awful bland and our sides arrived 10 minutes after the mains arrived , when we made a complaint we kept being told it’s our fault. Avoid it.

I have been a few times and was lovely... BUT I WILL NOT BE GOING AGAIN... spent over £350 for 11 of us for a family birthday meal... I pre ordered the starters mains and sides as its a small place just to help them out, I paid for food order upfront.... after 20 mins we were asked if we wanted a drink.. After over and hour the starters arrived.. prawns were frozen and had a hair in the dish.. we didn't make a fuss but sent it back, when asked why we told them, the reply wasn't oh dear I'm so sorry.. it was it must be your hair it's not our fault... noone at our table had black hair... it then got beyond a joke after 2 hours we asked where the mains were, they are coming was the reply... at which point I said this isn't good enough...andcwas told I'm just a helper I don't work here, speak to the boss... I asked for the boss and he never arrived... steak and chicken dinners didn't have veg and potatoes with them just the meat, which was eaten by the time the veg etc arrived.. the portion sizes have gone considerably smaller than they used to be... when paying the drinks bill asked to see the owner again... nope didn't come out and not even an apology let alone a refund for the frozen hairy prawns was offered... absolutely appalled by the unprofessional, couldn't care less attitude... they had been paid and didn't care... totally ruined my birthday meal... this place has gonedown hill considerably....Wheelchair accessibility: No room in there for wheelchairs

Ok but very dated and the draught beer tasted very sweet and didn't taste nice.Like the great Roy Walker once said.. It's good but it's not right.

We've eaten at this small family run Italian many times, something has clearly changed since our last visit.The service was appalling, took nearly 2 hours for the food to arrive, then it was cold, I ordered a coke and a lime and soda, both had no fizz at all.All our party felt the same, we won't be back
I dined on saturday night ..great atmosphere and excellent food . One of the best italian restaurant

We've dined at this small Italian many times, I'm afraid we couldn't of been more disappointed this time, the food was cold, not tasty, we waited 2 hours for it to come, the staff didn't engage, weren't friendly, the seats were very uncomfortable. I'm sorry La Lupa, we won't be back

Went with my family here for an evening meal. It was an authentic Italian experience, and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The staff are friendly and provide excellent service. The food, which was a mixture of pizza and pasta dishes, was all very tasty. We will definitely visit again.

It’s a real shame to write this review as we’ve dined here many times. However here we go. Our party of of 9 dined recently. We were one of only 3 tables on a Saturday night, already very different from the packed venue we are used to. Food took 2 hours to come, was mediocre at best and some dishes were cold. We can only assume a change of kitchen personnel and really hope this gets back to how it used to be. But for now we’re avoiding it until we read better reviews
