B9ngani was,a great waiter, and Chef Innocent, conratulatios for getting tge chilli in my pasta spot on! Not an easy thing to do. I really enjoyed my Gardeniera linguine.

A. K.

Beautiful restaurant. The feel and aesthetic of it is amazing. We had a margharita pizza, which was nice. Just very different from the other margharitas I have had, very light. I felt it lacked a bit of flavour, had to add salt and other condiments on the pizza slices. My sister had the gelato 🍨, pistachio which is very nice. Would recommend that as a dessert for anyone who loves gelato.

T.

so um I had waited for my food all day but I think that it was amazing food was so delis the food was so go that my brother had finished everything on his plate even the sause so it very good come and see for yourself PS this place has wifi

C. L.

I had a fantastic dining experience! The spinach and ricotta panzerotti was absolutely delicious – so rich and flavorful. Bongani, our waiter, was attentive and made the evening even better with his friendly and professional service. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the amazing staff!

Went on a rainy evening and found it to be quite cosy. Cocktail was good. Was not so impressed with my prawns - extremely salty and overly done - salad was very clumsy and almost looked wilted requested Avo in it but received none. Tomatoe soup was delish - and so was the calamari and gnocchi- service was average. The Caramel creme brûlée is deceiving, it’s nothing like creme brûlée at all.

Angela Made my 16th birthday absolutely amazing. She was full of smiles and great service and attention to detail. Thank you Lupa and thank you Angela

Served by the friendliest waiter, Bongani! Wonderful vibe, great fresh atmosphere. Great for groups or intimate dinner. Absolutely love it!

D. O.

Amazing meal. Had the table side cabornara. Delicious. My son had meaty pizza, also very good. A friend had the steak pasta, a hit again. Sever by Nomsa and was quite new. However one would not know it. She was fantastic. Much appreciated

J. J.

I really enjoyed my experience and the food at Lupa in Fourways! The prawn pasta was absolutely delicious. Exactly what I expected! David was a lovely waiter as well, very patient and attentive, he gave me the space to figure out what I wanted and was exceptionally pleasant. Highly recommended.

S. K.

We enjoyed our meals, served by the exceptional Bongani!😊

Well I have my legacy reservations when a restaurant branches out and /or go the franchise route (not sure what model Lupa follows but see Lupa outlets all over). All I can say, I've eaten at a couple of the Lupa outlets, (DBN North coast, Midrand ect). Design Quarter being the last over the last two weeks, with the very last an Uber eats delivery. The food is consistently of the highest quality, and the the service is just great! For now, absolutely my go to Italian restaurant without a doubt! Well done team Lupa, what ever you are doing, you are getting it right!

H. P.

I regularly go to Lupa for the great food and wonderfully refreshing atmosphere. Bongani served my table this time and what lovely gentleman of a waiter!

A. T.

David is a fantastic waiter. He is very attentive and quick to assist with anything we needed. We will be back soon!

L. N.

Truly a beautiful restaurant! A huge thank you to Rodney for the wonderful service , hospitality and attentiveness towards our toddler. The food was fresh, delicious and we will keep coming back! The owners and managers really know what they doing. Congratulations!

D. A.

Hands down the best pasta 😋 🙌 😍 Great service! Always a good vibe. I advise to book a table in advance especially for a weekend.

L. A.

David was an excellent waiter, he was a joy to be served by and prompt with taking our orders and bringing what we ordered

L. G.

First time experience, great environment and comfortable. Best service and recommendations of best meals by Nonny.

T. A.

Their signature pasta (carbonara) is really good. It comes diped in a parmesan wheel. Jannet Mhlaga was a great waitress. Very good overall experience.

L. T.

Absolutely enjoyed my experience there. The service was excellent, food very tasty and reasonably priced. Great atmosphere although the centre has renovations at the moment.

Z. W.

Food was good by that I mean the seafood pizza. Service from the waitress was excellent she went out of her way which is commendable. I might not be back but this is a lovely place to spend time with family and friends.

H. R.

Waiter not friendly Also had to ask for cutlery and serviettes Did the bare minimum But apparently expected a 10% tip ... He got 5 which was actually too high Anyhow, never said goodbye or thanked us

M. K.

Food was super tasty, I enjoyed the gin trolley although the gins were what fairly "normal" (Malfy, Iverocche etc) The gnocchi isl probably the best I've ever had. Freshly made and soft, not 'claggy' at all! Service was good.

N. G.

Charmaine was a great waiter she was extremely friendly and loving and even offered to take us pictures Absolutely adored her service.

C. M.

Great service save great food, ask for Bongani and the fiery wagon wheel of parmesan

C. D. S.

Charmaine was great and looked after us. The food was tasty too

J. R.

Charmaine gave us the most incredible experience with her five star service and award-winning smile! She was super attentive and friendly and really took care of us. Will definitely be coming back because the food was amazing as well!

My friend and myself came for a light dinner this evening and were pleasantly surprised. Charmaine our waitress was very friendly. Told us about your pizza and wine special which we had and we were very happy with our meal. We had lovely dom pedros afterwards and it was absolutely delicious. One of the best we've had. Thank you.

Ambience was great and our waiter Bongani was very attentive. The food was prefectly seasoned with well structured portions. Definitely one to check out if you enjoy Italian food!

J. C.

Had lunch at Lupa Osteria for the first time on Sunday with my family. What an experience!! William, our waiter, was amazing, always ready to assist, no matter what the request was. The managers were tops, checking that everything is good at our table, making sure were looked after and telling us about the music nights. It sounds like so much fun we booked for the next music night right then and there! We were spoilt with a special wine decanter as well, which added a fantastic and very special touch to the delicious food! Do not miss a chance to visit this vibey restaurant, your tastebuds don't know what they are missing! Thank you so much for the great food, great atmosphere and a fantastic afternoon out!!!

C. M.

Great food. Had wonderful service from Nomsa. Good communicator, courteous and on the ballll! :)

N. N.

The atmosphere is good. Staff is good. The Lupa pasta tasted nothing like I remembered it. It was easily the worst pasta I’ve ever had. The oxtail and alcoholic were both underwhelming. I wish I tried the Resturant next door.

L. G.

Pleasant relaxed evening had a Lupa Design Quarter. Great professional service and delicious food. Thanks to the chefs and our waiter Bongani.

Lupa @ Design Quarter is becoming a popular fave for me and my family. Today we had the plessure of being served by Ethics. Thank you for your attention to detail, patience and kindness - we appreciate you! Looking forward to our next delish meal here 👌

I love Lupa!!! Arone gave us the best service ever!!! I’m definitely coming back and would suggest everyone checks out the design quarter when they’re in Johannesburg!

Tracy was the highlight of our dinner yesterday! She was so present and absolutely world class in service delivery. Her eyes were glued on onto us and we felt like we were her only clientele. Keep it up miss Tracy with the gorgeous skin 😍 We're coming back specially for you!

K. T.

We love the service and quality of the meals - we were blown away with the service this evening from Catherine and Manager Musa. Just blown away!!! Please make sure they get this recognition.

Thankyou for making my daughters 21st so special. When a restaurant goes above and beyond, it’s only fair to give them the credit. From booking to conclusion of the celebration I could not have wished for more. We were seated in the most awesome spot in the Restuarant with all our requests fulfilled- thank-you Adriano. We were served by the incredibly efficient, attentive and kind duo- William and Cynthia, nobody in our large party waited for anything, everyone’s orders( some complex) were correct and all arrived together. The meals themselves were fantastic as always, and my daughter was made to feel so special, no wonder Lupas Design quarter is my daughters first choice. Thankyou so much.

R. T.

We had a fantastic waiter, Lucius, he looked after our birthday party with extra love and care :)

M. C.

We were served by Ethics Zuma and his services was really great. He knows his menu very well and was very helpful in advising us what to choose.

Memory spoils us every visit. She knows our preferences and listens carefully to our order requirements. Ruby and her husband run a successful restaurant and we wish them well for the future. My wife enjoyed the melanzane al parmigiano dish. Superb. Melenzane thinly evenly sliced and baked to perfection. The best my wife has enjoyed in Johannesburg in 20 years!
