Ristorante Lupo — Restaurant in Sainte-Julie

Food was good, but service was extremely lacking. So really I would’ve given 2 1/2 stars. Service was slow, turtle speed, they tended to acknowledge you but forget to actually bring you the item you requested. We asked for bread to go with our appetizer. Never arrived. Main meal one of our dishes had a lot of sauce so again tried to ask for bread. “Oh ya that’s right you had asked for bread, along time ago. “ So they finally half way through our meal brought out 3 small slices of very cold & slightly stale baguette. Not sure I would return as fine dining is not only about the food but it’s also about the service and ambiance of the place. For ambiance restaurant felt like they were air conditioning it even though it was winter time. Plus you are jammed in so tightly that you feel like the strangers around you are apart of your group. The place gives you very little room to easily move if you need to get up from your table to go to bathroom or when you leave. They never asked to hang your coat, nor was there a place to hang a coat. Their was no room to stand while waiting for table as you had to stand in doorway being in the way of people trying to leave or come in. Someone with arthritis or a disability this place isn’t good for you. Because it’s difficult to carefully move around. It’s a pretty place. Their best aspect was an abstract painting on wall of a man eating food. Note with COVID still ragging & really not really under control, even though as a society we seem not to want to admit this, but as a business it would be better to have more space between tables so clients can easily get up, enjoy their dinner as well, enjoy their time at your establishment, plus feel like the people around aren’t apart of your fine dining experience. Thus making fine dining about their experience. This fine dining was about the noisy group experience. And note you also feel like if the person next to you starts coughing or sneezing it’s going to land all over you...

I have to change my review. This is my aged mother’s favourite, or used to be. On Mother’s Day we had a reservation. They tried to sit us in the back yard with sill challenges and loose carpeting that would be difficult for the fit to navigate, never mind an 89 year old. We asked for a different table and sat at the front window. We were the only table that didn’t get the lovely little slices of pizza they offer as an appetizer. I ordered calamari for the table by the time it got to the table it was like wilted, cold, and just unpleasant. Then the pasta was the most disappointing with canned clams, 4 shell clams each for show but hugely disappointing and worst service ever. Needless to say we will be going Boucherville next time. ...

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Ristorante Lupo. Our server Joey, patiently answered our questions and without hesitation, accommodated our guest with food restrictions. His knowledge and sense of humor made our experience more enjoyable. We ordered various pizza's which were baked to perfection. The crust was thin and firm, enough to hold the perfect balance of assorted toppings...from seafood to buffalo cheese to farm fresh vegetables. Authentic pasta dishes brought back memories of Nonna's kitchen. Perfectly brewed espresso was topped off with exquisite Lemoncello cake. Thank you to Phil and Livia for recommending this highly rated restaurant. It is truly a 5+ star...
