Had dinner Wednesday evening 5/13/2026. Had whipped ricotta as an appetizer and chicken parmesan for the entree. The tastes of both items were great/delicious. One thing really stood out was the entree came to the table hot. If there is anything that I can not stress enough is that meals must be hot. Lupo did not disappoint. We will go back after Labor Day read more

Solid food and consistent level of service you come to expect from a SODEL establishment. Very good wine list, nice cocktails. Wonderful pastas made in house! read more

Really enjoyed the meal here....cocktails were good, appetizers were ok....Entrees were good, shrimp pasta with a touch of citrus, risotto with braised short rib ( only comes about this was that it was topped with bacon and I don't believe it said that). It's a nice spot and service was adequate. read more

Our entire family came in from all over the country to celebrate my grandma's 85th birthday, and we went to Lupo at her request. Had I known what our experience would be like throughout the night, I would have suggested we go elsewhere. When we arrived, the hostess was immediately annoyed that only 12 of the 14 people in our party had arrived. The reason that two of those people were late was because my grandma needed someone to push her wheelchair in. And on the note of the wheelchair, which was collapsible, the staff insisted that it was taking up too much space and removed it from the dining room. This detail will become important later. The food was okay. The meatballs were pretty average and the grilled octopus was flavorful, but my cache e pepe was a bit lacking in flavor. We had my grandma's birthday cake for dessert, and the waitress serving it acted deeply inconvenienced by having to cut it and bring it to everyone our table. At no point did any of the wait staff ever ask how our food was or bring more water to our table. The icing on the cake: immediately after the bill was paid, the hostess brought my grandma's wheelchair back in. At no point did we say that we were ready to leave, so it was deeply insulting to feel like my grandmother was being told it was time for her to leave by the staff. We wanted to take some family photos-- because, again, our family doesn't often get to see each other-- and the wait staff not only didn't help us take them but also proceeded to seat a single table directly behind us as we were taking them instead of waiting two minutes for us to finish. This restaurant is absolutely not equipped for handicapped people or large parties. We couldn't move my grandma out of the restaurant easily, and when we were finally rushed out a side door by the hostess, the door was immediately pulled closed by the hostess and locked before my boyfriend and my grandma were even fully out, splitting our party in half. The other half of our party was quickly ushered out of the front door by the same hostess. The tables at which we were sitting stayed empty, so I'm not really sure why there was such a rush to get us out of the restaurant. Lupo was previously my grandma's favorite Italian restaurant, but I can't imagine that she will ever want to come here again. I am deeply disappointed in how the restaurant staff treated her on such a milestone occasion. The hostess needs some serious training on how to treat both large parties and people who are handicapped. read more

My husband and I attended for our 16 year wedding anniversary and were disappointed. For starters, the waitress checked in on us so much, we thought we were on candid camera at one point and not in a good way. It felt rushed and we did not have time to even put our forks down by the time she collected everything. I was still chewing. I found it to be distasteful. I had a pasta dish and the sauce was clumped. My husband felt so bad and asked if I wanted to go somewhere else. I will never step foot in this place again. read more

While spending a long weekend in Rehoboth Beach and not really feeling like going out for dinner, I decided to order from Lupo. The menu seemed a bit more limited than what I'm used to at most Italian restaurants in New York, but I was still able to find a few dishes to try, some more successful than others. The burrata appetizer was disappointing. Based on the description, I expected more of a cold antipasti-style dish, but everything was chopped together, making it a little too goopy for my taste. On the positive side, the Caesar salad was excellent. My Tuscan Shrimp entrée had very flavorful shrimp, sausage, and cream sauce, but unfortunately the pasta itself was overcooked and slightly gummy. Overall, I have a feeling the meal probably would have been better enjoyed dining in at the restaurant rather than as takeout back in my hotel room. read more

My wife and I attended a wine tasting at Lupo. Along with the wonderful Italian wines was an awesome charcuterie table. Prosciutto, salami, mortadella, cheeses, marinaded mushrooms, grapes, nuts, roasted peppers, fresh bread and more. All very high quality and delicious. In addition the dessert table had a nice variety of bar cakes including pecan , Oreo, lemon and others. Here's a link- make sure to attend in the future. https://lupoitaliankitchen.com/commerce/redirect?productId=67a382c0ddbfb14367e788cb&utm_source=customer_notification&utm_medium=email read more

I'm in the minority again, rating-wise, maybe even within the group of 8 who dined together but. . . . I felt that the food served at our dinner together last year (which I did not rate at that time) was not as good as the ones I rated 5's the 2 previous years. This years dinner pretty much confirmed my feelings. It's not that the food is bad but it's not the 5 that it was. The Sauteed Artichoke Heart appetizer, even with additional Salt, Pepper and Lemon, was a disappointment. The Softshell Crab Franchise was not crispy at all maybe because of the sauce, so it lacked the crispy texture/taste that dish usually delivers. The seasoning was just ok. The special Crab Carbonara also lacked a real punch, with the pasta almost to the point of not being cooked. I love Al dente pasta - this was not that. The staff is still as friendly as ever. The tables, for the most part, almost all filled as before, so I would still tell friends to give it a try. But for me . . . read more

The shaved Brussels salad was probably the highlight of the meal. The pasta (lobster bucatini and cacio e Pepe) was good but nothing special. Overall we had a fine experience here, though the food is relatively pricey and you could probably find better in the area. read more

We love lupo! This Italian spot has the most amazing homemade pasta dishes and appetizers to go with it. They do have happy hour but it's only at the bar, so when you order from the table during happy hour it is regular price. For an appetizer we got the peach and goat cheese, which had an interesting taste (the peaches were suspiciously not peach tasting) although we did love it. The bolognese and spaghetti with meatballs are classic dishes that they do incredibly well. They don't have many vegetarian options, but they were happy to accommodate by making a side of pasta with burrata on top. The price point is a little high, but pretty average for Rehoboth. read more

The staff here is very nice, however the food here is extremely salty! Starting with the bread it was good but saltier than normal bread. Then we got the antipasto appetizer which was so salty it was basically inedible. The grilled octopus was phenomenal. Then the clams with linguine, eggplant parm, and gnocchi were quite salty as well. It had a lot of potential but the salt at this place is EXTREME, and it lingered on our tongues after we left the restaurant (all 6 of us!) read more

I cannot say enough good things about Lupo-- great food, tasty drinks, amazing service and a lovely atmosphere to chat the night away. My friend and I had the artichokes-- add the lemon-- incredible. It wasn't my first time having them-- and it won't be my last! We shared the Cesar salad as well. Large enough for two. They will ask if you want it with anchovies or to hold them. Andddd last but not least, we had the lobster bucatini. This is a smaller pasta dish-- and too good to share! ( but we did share it.) If you're hungry and didn't order appetizers, you probably won't wanna share this dish.. Loved my pear martini. Lovely and smooth. Always a favorite place to go and I'll be back! read more

We made our way to Lupo Italian Kitchen last night to take advantage of their half off parm night special and we were impressed! We started with a few of their cocktails including an Italian margarita, and espresso martini which were both great. And for an app, we went with their arancini which was made with caramelized onions and leeks, served with rustic tomato cream and pecorino. For our mains we had the eggplant parm, chicken parm and a special they had for an amatriciana pasta dish. All three were great and kept us coming back for more. And at half off for the parm entrees, you just can't beat it. read more

Went back a year later and I was super excited. Well my spouse and I were super disappointed. They have gone downhill. The sodas flat. The rigatoni pasta was rubbery. Calamari was just covered in fried breading. Couldn't even taste the calamari. And my lobster bucatini which I had before was rubbery and the lobster had smaller pieces and they were dry and rubbery too. We will not be coming back. Also noticed the restaurant was pretty quiet and dead at 6-6:30pm No pics because we sent food back. I kept my lobster bucatini because I was starving. But will not be going back again. read more

Excellent food and service. A part of the Sodel family of restaurants, another winner. House made pasta, cheese and bread... need I say more? The bread is soooo good. Soft and chewy with herbs. We had a special appetizer that used their house made ricotta. Pasta was nicely done, loaded with clams. Eggplant parm was also good read more

Hostess was adamant about not seating us until our entire party of 8 was there even though we said the remaining few were parking and almost here and thus we lost our table. Another party of the same size at the same time was seated and took our table even though half of their party wasn't even there. Hostess was so rude. Never coming back. read more

Fantastic quality food. Casual but nice atmosphere. Great service. We had the arugula salad, pesto pasta with shrimp, linguini with clams, and chicken Parmesan. All were excellent. Nice wine and beer options as well as some classic and Italian classic cocktails. read more

Food was tasty. Only complaint is they need to learn how to not overcook pasta. Sounds strange since this is an Italian restaurant , but pasta was not cooked correctly. We had chicken and eggplant Parma. Nice dishes. Staff is very friendly. Definitely one of the better Italian places in area. read more

Very stylish and small Italian restaurant! Started off with a Pinot Grigio sangria with peaches and raspberries. I got the shrimp alla pesto as an entree, very delicious! Wish they provided more shrimp in the entree. Someone else in my party had the oysters app, eggplant parm (very crispy) and the Bolognese. No complaints! Service was good. Had this young girl as a waitress who gave me her honest opinion about the entree I ordered since I was on the fence. No regrets! read more

A brightly lit storefront within the confines of the Hotel Rehoboth. This open floor plan Italian restaurant is alive with more than a din buzz of conversation, ice clinking glasses and silverware hitting plates. Here on a Tuesday, off-season, and only able to get a reservation for 8pm! Part of the allure to locals or those in the out of season know....1/2 priced parmigiana dishes. That's correct, basically $10-$12 for a really nice entree of chicken or eggplant. The chicken parmigiana is a large, nicely breaded and lightly fried breast atop a bed of perfectly al dente spaghetti. A bright sauce balances the creaminess of the mozzarella. The eggplant is also well done, sharing the plate with a garlicky broccoli rabe. The seared scallops are a hit, with a citrusy radicchio flavor balance. The octopus salad with chick peas and black olives mixes great flavors. The octopus is generously portioned but chewier than most I've had. It's loud but because people are having fun. read more

I would give 3.5 stars if it were possible. The Brussels sprout salad was great. The meatballs were good, not great, but not bad. The sauce was very good, the meatballs were just a little dense/tough. My husband had a pasta dish and it was undercooked and under flavored. I had a dirty martini that was very good. Our server was lovely and attentive, I'd give her 5 stars separately from the food. read more

My wife and I didn't have reservations but they took us right in. The staff were amazing, our waitress Meghan, was the absolute best! The food was some of the best Italian food we've ever eaten. Would definitely recommend, love this place!!! read more

I love Lupo's and will definitely be back after today! Every part of our meal was just delicious. The crispy artichokes had a decadent creamy hint of lemon. The Cesar salad was a large portion size and my friend and I split the lobster bucatini which had a good amount of lobster although the portion size wasn't as big as some of the other pastas we saw being served. The service was absolutely fantastic. I drank a mule and my friend tried a seasonal strawberry drink but she didn't like the licorice flavored liquor in it and he graciously offered her a different drink. I enjoyed the ambiance and it felt like we were at our own little table although we were sitting at a half table half booth. However I do suggest getting reservations for a weekend or during prime beach season bc it can get busy. We got lucky and our party of 2 had no problems being seated at 5:30pm on a Sunday in May. read more

Wow! Fabulous staff and ambiance. And then there is the food! "Pepper spaghetti" was absolutely delicious as was the beef stew (served with bread for soaking up broth ). Complimentary bread for the table was soft and tasty. Great experience. read more

The service was excellent but the lobster bucatini was a huge disappointment. This has been a fave of mine for the past 10+ years, but tonight it was awful. Dry overall with bits of hard sausage, very little lobster and about 6 green peas. SODEL can do better than this at $32 per plate! read more

Loved the Tuesday special of 1/2 price parmigianas recommended by the concierge at our Ballmoor Inn. After a long day of discovering the DE coast, we walked over w/o a reservation and the outdoor dining area was only option. The server (can't remember his name but hardworking young man with a day job at Lewes bait shop) cordial and pleasant, hustled between indoors and outdoors, all with a smile. The eggplant parmigiana accompanied with rapini and the chicken parmigiana with pasta presented simply and and delicious, served hot and timely even though the interior dining room was bustling. Great dinner experience and so, shout out to the kitchen staff who prepared and presented the tasty entrees. No photo. Impromptu decision w/o devices. read more

I loved the atmosphere and the service was great but as far as the food goes I thought it was average at best. Chicken parm was very dry, almost no sauce and really thick. It was also very bland. Spaghetti and Meatballs were again average, not bad but again bland and nothing special. For the price I was hoping for more. read more

The food is excellent at Lupo Italian Kitchen. I have enjoyed the food here every time we come here. The menu is unique so take your time and choose wisely. I also happen to like the way the staff interacts with our table when we come here. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated with a modern yet classic theme. The one ding I can give to this place is that it is small. That equates to long waits to get in sometimes. When they are busy reservations are a must and you may still wait a bit for a table. read more

I wish I could have included the food in this review, but we didn't get that far. We were seated quickly and the hostess and server were nice. We put our drink order in. My husband ordered a glass of wine, I ordered a club soda with angostura bitters and an orange slice. The server was a bit slow to take our food order, to the point where we wondered if we had been forgotten about, but his upbeat attitude made up for it. We put our food order in before the drinks came. My husband asked for a dish to be made spicy. The server informed him that the dish already had a bit of red pepper flake in it, but the chef would not add additional and he could only offer more pepper flakes on the side. Kind of odd not to honor a request like that, but ok... After we put our food order in, the server came back to inform us that the bartender refused to make the club soda with bitters. He only reserves bitters for making old fashioned cocktails. I asked the server if he was sure that the bartender said that. This is my normal drink anywhere I go, I was also a bartender for over 15 years and I never had a bartender deny such a simple request. He said he was sure. We left. If a dining establishment isn't willing to honor two incredibly basic and feasible requirements, we didnt want to give them our money. We felt unwelcome. Go to Diferos down the street. Similar style menu and they made our food spicy and we got our drink! read more

Okay, I'm about to gush. The food here is incredible. We set out on a Saturday night, arriving at the restaurant just as it opened its doors. We ordered lovely mocktails which arrived in martini glasses and slices of orange, lemon, and lime. The mocktail was composed of pineapple, orange, and pomegranate (as far as I can remember). It was delicious. For appetizers, we ordered the Formaggio Stuffed Arancini which came with a beautiful roasted tomato red sauce. The rice balls when sliced oozed with three cheeses. Wonderful stuff. We also ordered the Polenta Fries, which were well done, but not my cup of tea. She had the roasted chicken, with asparagus, and those ooh so good fingerlings with a cauliflower purée sauce. My partner famous for leaving something on the plate did not this night. Compliments to the kitchen she told the server. Just look at that empty plate. I choose the Mushroom Campanella, which is porcini pasta, roasted mushrooms, tomato and mushroom essence. Wow, it was delicious. We ordered vanilla bean cheese cake to take home. Our server Bri was attentive and helpful. We will most definitely be back to take in more of the fare offered at this beautiful restaurant, which is nestled inside the Hotel Rehoboth. Prepare for a lively establishment. Highly recommended. Did I mention the food was delicious? read more

We made two outdoor reservations for the same evening because they don't sit parties of more than 4 outside. They were really difficult about letting us book two separate reservations. We were very specific about sitting outside because my wife is pregnant. We show up and they say sorry we only have one outdoor table for you and there is nothing we can do. They said since we didn't respond to the automated text message requesting to sit outside that there is nothing they can do. This is my first one star yelp review. read more
