   Unfortunately the restaurant was severely understaffed. We were a party of eight which included two children. Our waitstaff person also had to be the bartender and make and serve drinks. There was one other waitstaff on duty who had to serve a private party in the other room. There was no bus person so our water glasses were never refilled. We had to wait 15 minutes for bread. Our server did her best but was overwhelmed. While leaving three hours later, we saw two more employees arrive.

   We were seated in what looked like a private room so kind of isolated from the rest of the restaurant. Our waiter had very little personality and barely talked. We did go into the bar after dinner which was a better experience. The food was good, not great. This was our third visit there and while I would still go back, it wouldn’t be my first or second choice.

   Always loved this restaurant but this visit was a bit disappointing. Although, the shrimp cocktail was excellent - good portion size and very fresh. The octopus special and veal parm were good. My nephew cleaned his plate which was a very generous portion. My husband ordered lasagna which was mediocre. Very small portion and drowning in mozzarella. I ordered the special fusilli with tuna and shrimp. Was supposed to be a light tomato sauce. It had a lot of sauce and not a shrimp to be found. Menu noted 4 shrimp. The fusilli didn't look like any fusilli I have ever seen. My sister in law's cavatelli with broccoli rabe and sausage was very greasy. We ordered a pear salad to share. The portion was half the usual size. Maybe this was an off night (Sunday) at La Lupa. I will give it another try but not soon.

   Had a lovely lunch several of us had the 3 course all inclusive meal. The portions were a bit smaller however still larger than most dinners at other restaurants. I had the beet salad and my entree was sea bass and spinach. The dessert was tiramisu. Had leftovers to bring home.

    I have been to La Lupa before and it was great! Today was slow, unresponsive service! Other tables that arrived after us received service before us. Beet and goat cheese salad was canned beets and little pebbles of goat cheese. Salmon piccata was over cooked. Rib eye was great!! Lobster ravioli was fair!!
