Lupa - A Rare Delight in New York

I randomly chose this Italian restaurant, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise from the atmosphere to the portion sizes. 🥹 Bread Basket The bread served before the meal is incredibly delicious! 👌 Prosciutto + Mozzarella A classic appetizer that pairs well with wine. It's nothing extraordinary but very satisfying. 🤩 Croquettes The best croquettes I've ever had! It feels like all the others I've tried before were impostors. These croquettes are packed with real ingredients, and the shredded fish inside is incredibly tender. One large croquette is very filling. 😋 Kale Caesar This salad is purely for adding some nutrition to the meal, but it's also tasty and comes in generous portions. 🥰 Pappardelle alla Bolognese The pasta is soft and chewy, and the sauce is incredibly rich and flavorful. It's a dish that brings a lot of happiness. 🥳 Braised Oxtail The most surprising dish! The oxtail meat is tender and flavorful, though a bit on the salty side. It comes with two large gnocchi that have a soufflé-like texture. Overall, the presentation is very harmonious. 🫡 #NewYork #DateNightRestaurant #LifeInNorthAmerica #NewYorkDining #APlaceI'llVisitAgain
