    Pasta and clams
    Lu T.

    A fantastic dining experience. Good food, great service, and good ambience. If you feel like Italian food, and steaks, this is the place to go. Most Italian places I have visited during work or even my backyard are not as good as this place, and I have eaten that many Italian restaurants since it's one of my favorite food categories. Start with the meatball appetizers and the shrimp. They were great. The calamari on the spicy side was also very good. Calamari was fresh and tender so you know it wasn't frozen. My colleague ordered the veal which was really good and our guests ordered the stuff chicken which was fantastic. I ordered the pasta and clams which was perfectly flavored. One of my favorite dishes and they did a great job at it. Dessert was awesome as well as a huge selection of wines. Highly recommend

    Cozy hidden gem. Food and service are great this is my 2nd time going will definitely be back. I live the meat free eggplant rollatini; it's excellent. So happy I found this spot!

    I was surprised to find the interior of this restaurant is very modern. It was packed on a Friday night but I was able to get a table with no reservation. First, they brought out the bread and butter with a side of grilled eggplant. The grilled octopus appetizer was delicious and not overcooked. I tried their tagliatelle pasta and the spicy rigatoni, both great options and definitely will be returning to try their other menu items.

    This place is very close to home, and it has taken years to give it a try. People have been recommending it and seeing availability for a last minute Friday night detour I thought, why not? Entering it is a lot bigger than what I imagined. For being literally in the 'back' of a strip mall I am very familiar with I never knew quite what to expect. It seems to be an elegant hidden gem that even I avoided through the years for no good reason at all. So far, so good. Service was good, but it was odd that the salads came out with the appetizers. For a small table, that meant it was a challenge for space in addition to it being a challenge to enjoy the meal. With that part coming out quick it made the long delay for the main meal somewhat odd. For a relatively early dinner before the main rush entered the door I can't imagine it was due to them being busy. Anyway... It all comes down to the food. For an appetizer, the CALAMARI - sweet and sour chili sauce and traditional on the side was great. The sauce was on the side since I wasn't too sure about the sweet and sour chili sauce option, but that turned out to be a big hit in the end. The CAESAR - chopped romaine lettuce, shaved parmigiana, croutons, caesar dressing, salad I had along with that was pretty average. For my main meal I chose the SPAGHETTI CARBONARA - spaghetti alla chitarra, pancetta, sweet onions, parmigiano-reggiano 24 months, organic egg yolk. This has been my test meal whenever I see it on the menu. The egg yolk on top was new to me. I could probably do without that but the main issue for me was taste. As in, it was hard to tell it was carbonara. The dish oddly had little taste at all. I had ordered the LONG HOT PEPPERS - garlic, oil, shaved parmigiana as a side. Don't ask me what kind of peppers they are, the waiter did not know either. They were hot enough for me to be enjoyable, but they ended up being my flavor add to the carbonara for the night. No, carbonara is not supposed to be hot, and I am not suggesting this combination should be on any menu. However, for this night it gave the meal enough flavor for it to be enjoyable.

    A nice traditional Italian restaurant with a solid foundation of pastas and traditional entrées, including salmon, steak, and eggplant. Besides hosting events with delicious food, there is a nice mix between casual and elegant dining. Fully stocked bar with multiple televisions, it's an easy place to watch sports games and catch-up with friends. On the other side of the restaurant, there are plenty of tables with candle, lighting to facilitate a relaxing Italian dining experience. Well I do like the ambience, the food is not unique nor particularly high value given the cost of most dishes. Our food took a long time for preparation from the kitchen and was not fully accurate while ordering with the waiter. It's nice to be seated with hors d'oeuvres but the bread was not particularly tasty. Overall a dependable establishment with a nice array of Italian dishes but be prepared to reach deep into your pocket and wait for a decent period of time to receive your meal.

    The ambiance is crazy for being behind an Acme. You have no idea how dope the spot is on the inside. It was well lit and welcoming. The food was incredible. The pasta was fresh and the sauce was delicious. The dessert was great, but I wish the waffle was a little more crisp.

    Ashley S.

    The service was good. Everyone was very nice and attentive. The bar feel was nice and the dining room was nice as well. The food was delicious and we will be back. The only thing I will say (not pictured) is that it seemed the meatballs or sauce lacked a little salt.

    Hit the spot!

    Thank you Sally G's for the best - by far take out/ curbside pickup I had during this shut down. You never disappoint when we dine in and I do appreciate that this carried to the curbside. The Sally G shrimp app and broccoli rabe and sausage were perfection. My husband enjoyed his Pappardelle and everything was still piping hot when we opened it at home. Sunday, July 12 - update. We went to dine at the restaurant. They have a small tent outside set for "alfresco" dining. We did go early - 6:15 PM but no one else was there. Hey Warren and surrounding towns - get out and support this business. We need to keep our locals open and this place deserves the pleasure of your company and business. I ordered the Sunday Special- $25 for a big dish of rigatoni, a side dish of one very large meatball, sausage and pork braciole. My husband had a pasta special that very good as well. Staff is quite friendly and efficient- and food is always delectable. I will have two more meals from the Sunday Special leftovers. Go and give this place a chance.

    This place is definitely a hidden gem. The food, the service, the ambiance were all 10/10. It was our first time going and loved it.

    Calamari Sausage and Broccoli Rabe

    This was our first time, but won't be our last. The apps - sausage and broccoli rabe and fried calamari were outstanding! We've had many friends tell us about the angry chicken parm ... and it was just as delicious as they all said! Definitely recommend. Arrabbiata with chicken and sausage was fantastic. Desserts were excellent - especially the cannoli and tiramisu. Great atmosphere as well.

    I was looking for a well rated Italian restaurant in Union County and Lupa Ristorante came up on…read moremany lists so I decided to check it out with friends. Lupa is located in a section of Berkely Heights that has seen a lot of recent construction, so it is very pretty and clean. You couldn't be blamed if you bypassed the restaurant. It is not very flashy looking and that is part of its charm. Be warned, there are not a lot of parking spaces behind the restaurant so you may wind up parking in the bank parking lot next to it (when the bank is closed of course). The staff at Lupa is super friendly and treats you like a regular even if this is your first time. The host was super nice, the waitress fantastic and the chef even came to our table to talk to us when we were done eating! The interior is very clean and modern looking. It's elegant and perfect for virtually any event including dates, anniversaries and family get togethers. We wound up sitting in the same area as the bar, which mostly has 2-4 seater tables and of course you can sit at the bar as well. The other side of the restaurant is where the larger tables are located. Here's a rundown of what we had: CLAMS ON TOAST Baby clams. crispy ham. thyme When I ordered this, I expected to see slices of toast with crispy ham and baby clams on top. Instead, it is two large pieces of wonderfully toasted bread with crispy ham on top. The actual clams sit in a *delicious* broth. Taken altogether these various components form a delicious bite. Be sure to dip that bread into the broth! SQUID INK SPAGHETTI lobster knuckles and claws. broccoli florets. grape tomatoes. Sherry Cream Sauce This dish has a wonderfully deep and earthy flavor. I've had squid ink pasta before and this was a wonderful example of it. The sauce was perfect and it was cooked beautifully. HANGER STEAK Truffled pomme frites. Chimichurri The steak was beautifully cooked (we had it medium rare) and the chimichurri sauce was great. However, the steak needed a bit more salt (and I'm not usually one to add salt to food). The pomme frites were wonderfully crispy and tasty. BROCCOLI RABE lemon. Kilos Broccoli rabe is a simple side dish but it is one of my favorites. It is also one that can easily be overcooked. These folks cooked it perfectly and it made for a fantastic side dish. My party and I loved our experience at Lupa and we all agreed we would happily return any time!
