A chef-driven boutique dining experience in the heart of Old Upper Arlington. Executive Chef Todd Elder prides himself on our constantly changing menu featuring ingredients from local partners at Hershberger Farms, Coast to Local Seafood, Bluescreek Farms, and Mushroom Harvest as well as a selection of globally imported goods. From pintxos, tapas, to entrees, each visit can become a new dining experience. Try a taste of Spain with a paella or go on a journey to Italy with a house-made pasta. Feeling adventurous? Then try a signature dish, slow braised and barbequed Octopus with seasonal pairings. Or stay close to home with a Lupo Smashburger or seasonal salad!

During summer nights relax with a Lupo craft cocktail, glass of wine, or local beer on the patio outfitted by Oakland Park Nursery. Sit indoors and enjoy our cozy dining room, bar, or private Vault Dining Room. There is never any issue with parking at Lupo with our private parking lot next door and plenty of spaces out front!

Everything was perfect! We had the crab cake, Burrata, Cubano and the gnocchi tartufo. The Sangria was delicious and we always get an oatmeal cream pie to go.

Outstanding meal and excellent service as always! Perfect place for our group of 7! Gnocchi was amazing, and sampled many incredible tapas - burrata, octopus, bacon wrapped dates, etc, etc - all were spectacular. And capped the meal off with the most delicious pumpkin roll with gelato. Great cocktails and wine too! Our favorite restaurant in the city!

The food and ambiance were Fantastic. It’s a gem on Arlington away from the busy part of UA, which is nice. We sat outside on a perfect summer night. We enjoyed various tapas and entrees. Everything was so fresh and put together with care. Nas always is a fantastic server. She really knows the details of the food and cocktails and is helpful in navigating the menu. The hard part is making selections because everything sounds so appealing!

Lupo had been understandably written up as a best new restaurant and now on the top ten restaurant lists. Everything about our experience was fabulous. The special sangria the best we've ever had anywhere. All of the tapas were delicious. Wait staff was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. It was our first visit and we will return!

Lupo has one of the most creative and innovative chefs in Columbus. Dishes are always tasty, artful, and vibrantly fresh. Cocktails reflect a similar level of creativity and innovation. And Mary the manager brings it all together. Lupo is a destination restaurant!

Delicious!! Tucked away in a nice strip center in UA with plenty of parking around. We sat inside but patio looks great - took advantage of wine bottle retail pricing at happy hour! Had a chew tapas - Setas, Fritto Misto and buttata - all had unbelievable flavor and plenty for 4 of us to share. Although we couldn’t pass up the Gnocchi Tartufo which was homemade ricotta gnocchi and not as dense as potato. Can’t wait to go back and try some more dishes!!

We had a wonderful meal at Lupo! The staff were on top of it, gave suggestions, were quick and so friendly. Environment is casual and fun. Nice patio, nice interior, was an old bank so the vault is the private dining area. Really amazing food options! Wish there were more seafood options, esp for the Paella which was mostly meat but the food was so delicious. As long as you know it is tapas and shareable plates you are good! Perfect and fun for a date!

Overall, ok to good food depending on the dish. As some have noted and we would agree, service is very slow. Took 20 min for our server to even take an order and he was annoyed and rushed. They didn’t look packed busy, so not sure why we sat there for so long. By the time we had been there 50 min, we had a glass of wine and plate of bread. The food was just ok for some dishes and some were good. Nothing outstanding so we probably won’t go back just because for the price and the amount of time we waited, we weren’t blown away.
