Lalupa Poole in Poole

I had the most amazing birthday dinner at La Lupa. Dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish, the staff were attentive and welcoming, and the food was delicious. Thank you for a memorable dining experience!

Food was delicious! Atmosphere was lovely! Staff were super friendly! 10/10 experience, will definitely be back again :)

Lovely experience today , service was excellent, food to a high quality. Made to feel at home .

Been here a few times and these guys never disappoint. The pizzas are insanely good! Really generous, got and fresh with quality ingredients you can taste. The pasta is also excellent. Haven't had a carbonara that good in a very long time! If you're anywhere near Poole, you have to get there! Oh and the Panna Cotta and Tiramisu is also excellent 😊

Lovely food, great service, what more do you need?!

Hi thanks for an excellent pizza and Italian coffee.

Brilliant service, excellent food across the needs of 3 generations. Main courses were great but deserts were beyond expectations. Wine could have greater variety especially for an Italian restaurant - slightly disappointing - so simple to up your game here.

I had my birthday 🎂 meal and it's such amazing atmosphere great service

Amazing, family run restaurant in Poole. Authentic Italian food really well done. Highly recommend the Vongole, Pizza and Pana Cotta. Came here for a 60th birthday party and they really looked after us. Cannot recommend this place enough and will be back next time we are in Poole

Great food and the best services!

I had the beef stew special, Mrs had the sea bass, 🤤garlic bread was divine, tasty food fare play 10/10, just some great cooking, would recommend to all 🤩 friendly great service to go with it, bravo La Lupa

Lovely meal with lovely attentive staff. Would definitely go again. ☺️

A solid, family-run business. Very good food, waiters are happy to chat and get to know exactly how you felt about the food.

The food was exquisite and, although we were a bit late for lunch, we were welcomed in the nicest way. Service was impeccable, with staff being very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be going here again!

my wife and I went to La Lupa on Poole Quay to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary and they made it so special. They started off by giving us both a complimentary glass of Prosecco to get the celebration underway. The food we ordered was really amazing. My starter of mussels was great but nothing could have prepared me for what came next. My main course was ox cheeks slow cooked in Chianti which was sensational. The meat was so tender it fell apart on the tongue and the sauce it was cooked in was so rich and flavoursome I savoured every mouthful along with the beautiful soft and fluffy polenta it was served with. My wife had an equally delicious dish of slow-cooked lamb and both of us struggled as the portions were extremely generous. After a rest to digest, we couldn’t leave without our favourite dessert, tiramisu. It really is soft, creamy and delicious, it was the perfect end to our celebratory meal. Two glasses of limoncello arrived as another complimentary addition to our evening and I genuinely can’t find the words to adequately describe what a superb meal it was.

Friendly staff , food amazing, made in the house not from frozen like the majority , good wine .

We haven't been here for years, a blast from the past, definitely going again. So pleased the new owners didn't change the name, long live La Lupa. 😋👍💖💖

Wow! Well what can I say me and my aunty was in Poole over a weekend and wanted to go to a traditional authentic Italian restaurant as we are italian ourselves! , we stopped outside looked at the menu and decided to go inside. The atmosphere of the place was wonderful , the decor was modern but beautiful olive green and white. The staff was so professional , friendly and was always happy to be of service. The food was like being back at home in Italy ,the food smelled authentic , looked authentic and tasted absolutely amazing! It was delicious the portion sizes was very good too! We was soo happy with our visit, the staff was amazing and was always happy to help us make decisions , when they brought plates out for other tables they showed us what the different dishes looked like! They was all incredible absolutely delicious! the drinks was amazing too we had lovely cocktails the cosmopolitans was soo morish , and the bar staff and waiting staff was very knowledgeable on their drinks too! Honestly the best italian restaurant we have found in Poole! We loved it soo much we decide to go back the next day and again we was soo pleased with everything! All the waiters was fantastic , the owner was friendly checked everything was OK and stood talking to us any problems was no problem they was fix straight away! jake, luke and the whole team was fantastic. Deffinatly going to be our regular when we come again in March and bringing more of the italian family with us! I recommend the the dessert the Nutella calzone, the pears and the panacotta, the best we ever tasted! I cannot recommend this place enough! You will not be disappointed. Highly recommed!

Overpriced dishes, 17£ for pasta!!!!!! no sides with main meals just pay pay pay pay , expensive drinks too, won't be visiting and recommending

Amazing place to go out for dinner

Amazing red wine Amarone! The best service! The food was 10/10 and we are fussy. Could not fault!

During our recent visit to La Lupa in Poole, Dorset, we were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service and delightful cuisine. A special mention must go to our waiter, Georgio, whose professionalism and attentiveness were outstanding. He was always on hand, ensuring our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. The brochettas with tomato were a fresh and flavorful start to our meal. Accompanied by the most delicious condiments, these appetizers set a high standard for what was to come. Georgio’s timely offering of black pepper was a thoughtful touch that enhanced our dining experience. For our main course, my wife and I both chose pizzas, and we were not disappointed. Each bite was a testament to the quality and authenticity of the ingredients used. The pizzas were delicious, perfectly cooked, and left us savoring each flavor. We are already looking forward to our next visit to La Lupa. The combination of delectable food, impeccable service, and a warm atmosphere makes it a must-visit destination for anyone in Poole. Grazie mille, La Lupa, for an unforgettable dining experience! PS. The olives are just WOW.

Fantastic restaurant! The food was amazing and huge portions. The restaurant staff were lovely and friendly and made us feel very welcome. Definitely recommend La Lupa

Best Italian Restaurant on the Quay. Completely outshines the rest. Great service and absolutely amazing food.

Brilliant dinner and lovely service to single senior - thank you

Amazing customer service, the members of staff, including the owner, have all been fantastic, best food, freshly cooked (it's home made, I believe). I shall come back 100%

Finally an authentic Italian place! Had a very good time, I will come back!

Very friendly welcome to party of 15 old friends. Delicious food.

Beautiful place, the pasta was delicious and the dessert too. A little expensive but worth paying for such delicious food.

A wonderful authentic Italian restaurant with friendly staff. Even on a Tuesday evening the restaurant was quite full and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Well done to the staff/owner. Oh...and an independent too.

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Couldn't recommend it enough. Fresh focaccia straight from the oven and such flavourful pasta too. Loved it

The best Italian food ever. Helpful and friendly service that went above and beyond expectations. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

The food was good but the waiter was extremely rude.

Great food and friendly service. The Calzone with Nutella was massive! One to share.

Everything is great, it's a shame that the POS worked for us. But otherwise fine, maybe there is something that could be cheaper.

Very friendly environment , the people who served us were lovely and as italians ourselves we felt like we were at home! The service was great and the food was even better , beautiful presentation and a beautiful taste! would definitely recommend 😁😁

Amazing staff, delicious authentic food and all together great experience. Well pleased and highly recommend.

The best Italian I’ve had in England! The people and environment are great-you’ll never want to leave!

Our party was made to feel very welcome, right from when I phoned to book a table. The service was attentive but unrushed. The food was absolutely amazing. We shared calamari to start and we're pleased we did. It was delishous, perfectly cooked but there was a lot of it! We all had something different for mains but we all said the same thing - the flavours were superb. We just had room for dessert. Again, the flavours were amazing. We rarely dine out as we are often faced with poor service or poor food. This dining experience exceeded our expectations and we'll definitely be back. Thank you La Lupa.

Very impressed with the service here. A first time visit and I ordered a pizza I didn't like. I didn't want to say anything but the waiter could sense I wasn't happy and insisted on cooking me a new different pizza at no extra charge. The food came very quickly, was hot and tasty. We will visit again. Highly recommend

Everything was amazing fom service to food, an excellent evening and will definitely return again.

Fantastic pizzas for lunch, so much flavour on one plate was amazing. Service was excellent, thoroughly enjoyed the Italian music as well.

Made a last minute booking to visit last night. Really lovely food and incredibly reasonable given the quality.

Lovely place to eat, very pleasant staff. The food was top notch and very plentiful.

Pizza and desert is delicious- Thank you

Top Italian, both ambience, food and service are top.

Wonderful visit .. the food was superb! .we were a table of 10 inc 4 children! the waiting staff were polite, friendly and professional ...service exemplary. Visited twice and not once dissappointed. Thoroughly recommed a vist

Been coming here since the late 70's. Always a pleasure to dine here.

Great food and nice environment. Kids loved the ice cream 👍🏼

Good customer service, tasty food , nice attitude

Great food, friendly staff, reasonable prices.

Good food. Certainly didn't leave hungry. Good portions and well looked after. Thank you to everyone there.😋👍

Absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish our evening was absolutely perfect. The pizza was the best I’ve ever had!! (Including in Italy!) and the pasta got rave reviews from my husband and daughter. A buzzing atmosphere, fully booked on a weekday out of season! Family run by those who are clearly passionate about true Italian food and wine, and treating their guests as family. Honestly, world travelled, and one of the best restaurants I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. We may even drive 3 hours to return!! Thank you so much. P.s order the olives!!!!

First visit, and it won't be my last . A warm welcome and excellent caring service. Had cibatta garlic bread with oil and olives. Really enjoyed that. For mains had a lasagne which was very tasty but just a little dry. However. I enjoyed my meal . A complimentary shot was supplied at the end of the meal. Not the cheapest of restaurant and drinks quite pricey, but you get what you pay for, and I have no complaints. An enjoyable visit at a popular venue

Excellent food, friendly efficient service. Will definitely go back

Really great food best Italian place I’ve been to and the staff were really helpful and attentive. Overall really good experience here :))

Decent. Food is standard. A bit pricey but the portions are ample. Later opening hours are a bonus.

One of the best Italian restaurants I have eaten in, ever.

It's an absolutely amazing restaurant by the pier. The food is out of this world. If you like Italian food you will never go wrong. This is the best place to dine, period.

great atmosphere, large variety of food to choose from, and the food was well made and tasted good. the staff were very enthusiastic and friendly. one of the best restaurants. highly recommended.

Excellent service and delicious food all at affordable prices. 100% recommend. Great selection of wines.

Great food, great service..... massive portions!

Fabulous, tasty food, ample portion sizes, infact the tirimisu was easily a double portion. Varied menu, fresh. Would definately revisit.

An absolutely fantastic meal....fantastic service....highly recommended 👌

Lovely food, good service. Would recommend

Haven't been to LA lupas for some years. Fantastic experience, food delicious and excellent staff. Will be back with my husband

I haven’t yet eaten in the restaurant but I have ordered a pizza to take away a couple of times and their food is amazing! Very friendly and helpful staff :) Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful place, beautiful in every detail, flowers on the tables, decoration, etc! Music very good! Super professional team, very polite and kind! I highly recommend excellent food!!!!

Change of ownership has let this place down not impressed with menu or standard of food needs an urgent rethink

Incredible food, super friendly staff and definitely somewhere people need to eat at at least once (if not once a week). Great atmosphere and they have just the right amount of menu options and great digestifs. Grazie mille!

Superb service and excellent food.

Fantastic restaurant, staff friendly and always asking if everything is okay, food to die for, well worth a visit

My husband and I spent the last weekend near Poole and we are so pleased to have found La Lupa at the end of the Quay: the best Italian restaurant we have ever been to (and Italian food is our favourite so we therefore go to plenty of Italian restaurants!). Everything was perfect: from the very welcoming, friendly and attentive staff to the wonderful meals. Both the pizza and pasta were delicious (and yes, I tried both as I couldn’t resist having some of my husband’s meal – and he did the same). We know that the owner has recently taken over from an established business – and can’t imagine that it was previously better considering the fantastic meal we had. Thank you for the lovely experience and one thing is sure: next time we are in the area we will book a table at La Lupa!

Spent Sunday bank holiday evening here. Big group, excellent service and the Italian food was lovely. I'd recommend this place, and do try the Sicilian swordfish!

Authentic Italian atmosphere and food. Great hospitality, very friendly and lovely food, great value for money- would highly recommend. Definitely worth a visit, will be returning again for sure.

The food was excellent!!! I really enjoyed the ravioli (con burro e salvia), they were perfectly filled, and the flavours were perfect. The service was also perfect.

Good food, enthusiastic staff, fair prices

I went with my family and friends. We enjoy a great experiet ( the food, the service, the place !) Everything was perfect! I totally recommend.

The food is awesome! And also the people is very nice and kind.

We went last night for a meal at La Lupa and what a fabulous experience for us . We were a group of 5 . Our meals came out together and they were presented well and tasted even better . The service was top notch . They were attentive without being overpowering . The cost at the end of the night was surprising . Great value

Recently visited for a birthday meal and cannot fault La Lupa, the food was absolutely delicious and the customer service was fantastic. We were seated swiftly in the cosy restaurant by the very friendly and welcoming staff and the food arrived piping hot and absolutely delicious! We will definitely be returning and definitely recommend a visit!

Great for kids. We arrived at La Lupa later than our 6 year old’s usual dinner time after some major travel stresses. I asked if her pizza could come out as soon as it was ready as I was a bit worried about our little one being hungry and they we’re so understanding. They sent out the entire family’s food within minutes so we could all eat together and we appreciated it so much. Everything was beautifully cooked and delicious. The restaurant was busy, had a warm atmosphere and all the staff we met were so friendly and welcoming. I also loved the choice of Italian music from the 60’s they were playing that evening. We will be back next time we visit Poole!

Great pasta with seafood will go again

This place is fantastic! I went there recently with my family, and the food and service were both excellent. Very authentic Italian restaurant, and I would definitely recommend the lasagne!

Went on Mothers day and didn't need to pre-book.

It was an OK experience but after new ownership recently it is nothing like the previous 5 star cuisine.

What a lovely Italian restaurant. The food was amazing and the staff attentive. I'm definitely coming back. Why aren't all Italian restaurants this good?

Such a nice place and food was great and good portions throughly enjoyed our evening

Un fault able fabulous food, so sick of paying good money for 'mediocre ' food, this almost hidden gem delivers absolutely 1st class tasty, fantastic food, highly recommended

Cute little gem. Great service. Great food! Would recommend! We had bruschetta, caprese, pizzas, and the salmon. All delicious

The best authentic Italian restaurant in Poole! The staff are charming and attentive, the cocktails are absolutely delicious and the food is remarkable. I'm glad we popped in and I hope we can go back again soon!

Lovely Lunch, Super Service and Fabulous Food Wow, what incredible service we received at La Lupa. Nothing was too much trouble and all with lovely smiles. We enjoyed a memorable Mothers Day Lunch at La Lupa. We felt incredibly welcome and the food was excellent. Special mention for the homemade Gnocchi which was extra delicious (all the food was lovely). We will be back to this wonderful restaurant on Poole Quay - super location too! Huge thanks to everyone at La Lupa for making special Mother's Day memories.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at this restaurant! Superb service and all staffs are super friendly and patient. The food was fantastic - everything from the starters to the main course was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious.

Delicious food.Quaint place with a view of the Quay. Fillet steak was fab Risotto lovely and the Tiramisu was mouthwatering. Definitely recommend this place.The waiter was such a lovely funny man.We will be going frequently. And good decor too.Highly recommend.

We had an amazing dinner in this place, the food, real Italian food, was fresh and delicious, the restaurant cosy, warm and welcoming, and the staff, absolutely amazing, friendly and professional. We're planning already another dinner there as their menu is so inviting. Thank you for the wonderful experience 😊

Every bit as good as under the previous family's ownership. Fabulous food, the seafood risotto is full of prawns, shellfish and calamari with plump delicious rice. The lasagne is almost too much to eat and so tasty. The new family couldn't have made us more welcome and the service was outstanding. Will definitely be back and be bringing friends.

We chanced upon this lovely restaurant as we waited to have tennis rackets strung up and were not disappointed...absolutely 5 star service - impeccable! The food was amazing, as it happens, it was their first day trading and they didn't disappoint. I couldn't find a single thing that I could have asked to be improved upon...it took us back to happy times spent in Italy - really authentic flavours. Will definitely go back, this might be our new favourite eat out. All the best team!

The place needs a major redec. The veal was probably one of the worst we have had. The tomato sauce for the pizza quite poor. Shame what happened to the place.

Superp meal. We Hadn't been to poole for 5 years and used to go here back then. The food was awesome as well as well as the atmosphere. The staff were very friendly also. I would definitely recommend.
