Lalupa Poole in Poole

We had a lovely evening meal to celebrate my graduation. Great atmosphere and right on the harbour. Would recommend the cheesy garlic bread pizza for starters, it was amazing!

Excellent service, even as a solo business traveller only having a main I was made to feel welcome. Food was well presented, tasted great and delivered quickly. I look forward to returning in February when I am next in the area.

absolutely lovely evening food was absolutely amazing very tasty. The team were fantastic nothing seemed to much great service x

I can only give many compliments to Cosimo and his staff. The cuisine is great and the service excellent. Entering Lupa is like coming home.

Excellent meal - Food and service were brilliant. First went to La Lupa in the late 1970's just after it opened. It has been variable at times over the years but the present owners are exceptional providing a warm welcome in clean and comfortable surroundings with excellent food.

La Lupa is my favorite Italian restaurant in Dorset! The staff are wonderfully friendly and authentically Italian, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a little piece of Italy. The food is consistently delicious, with rich flavors and fresh ingredients that truly stand out. From classic pastas to pizzas, everything I’ve tried has been incredible. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience in Dorset!

Staff are profesional, but also friendly. Service is fast but not at all rushed and details are taken into account carefully. We had an amazing time, food portions are generous, but everything to the very last bite is absolutely delicious. It was a party if 8 and most of us ordered different things (apologies to the chef), and everything looked and tested amazing. We had Fritton, steak, pizza, Ravioli, risotto, se bass....yum, yum and yum. I would highly recommend it! Highly recommend it. Oh! Tiramisu...so absolutely delicious.

The best restaurant in the area, perfect food like in Italy and friendly staff. Thanks for everything. I recommend it wholeheartedly

Great food and excellent service, for sure, we'll be back again and again!

Very attentive and informative serving staff.

What an incredible meal! From start to finish it was outstanding and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. I would most definitely come back again

Fabulous atmosphere and great pizza.

I ate in this restaurant on my birthday with my wife and daughter and everything was excellent, good food, professional and friendly waiters and the owner gave me a bottle of wine for my birthday. I recommend this restaurant with confidence!

Good service and delicious food. We have eaten here on several occasions over the last few years and it never disappoints

Staying in Poole for a few days last week, we walked past the restaurant on Thursday evening and thought how nice it looked so we booked a table for Friday evening. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty! Friendly and welcoming staff, nothing was too much trouble. The restaurant itself is cosy and welcoming and we chose where we wanted to sit. We enjoyed a beautiful bottle of Sicilian wine with our meals which all arrived promptly and were absolutely delicious, the ravioli was amazing, the salmon looked and tasted fantastic and the Lasagne was lovely too. We managed to squeeze in some Tiramisu for dessert which tasted wonderful and was presented beautifully. We had a really lovely evening and would definitely recommend. Thank you so much.

Great food and very nice service.

I served a delicious dinner with my family, the beef tenderloin was phenomenally tasty, my wife served a seafood pasta that was delicious, our boy served a real Italian pizza and I couldn't leave without tasting the wonderful home-made desserts at mom, I recommend this authentic Italian restaurant where all the staff make you feel like the most important person in the world, thank you luppa

Had a wonderful night last night at La Lupa with our party of 12. Unfortunately my 8 yr old son has suffered with terrible food poisoning today. He was the only one to have mushrooms on his meal so guess they must have been off :(

This was our second visit and it didn’t disappoint. My husband and I chose the pasta and it was cooked to perfection ‘al dente’ and was delicious. My kids had the pizza and loved it. Yes, it’s priced at the higher end, but worth it for the quality and the staff were very engaging. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you Highly recommend

it was bloody amazing best food i’ve ever had ,SO NICE, NICEST PEOPLE EVER, VERY HAPPY 5 STARS

I love this place, best Italian food and outstanding service. Highly recommend!

After a shocking experience at Da Vinci’s, not having had a main course we were passing La Lupa’s & were able to get a table. The staff were really attentive, service was excellent & food absolutely delicious. What a difference. Will definitely be going back here.

An Italian restaurant facing the sea in the British city of Poole. Pizza, lasagna, pasta and most of the famous Italian dishes. I recommend visiting it and do not forget to order the tiramisu... a masterpiece.

Awesome food, awesome value, great serving sizes ……. Had our 1st date here 26 years ago and still great ……. One of the best thing about our visit to Poole

Absolutely fabulous. Fresh. Authentic. Great customer service. Generous servings. Highly recommend.

Went for evening birthday meal . Food and service were brilliant will definitely return

A great place ! Delicious food, very kind service, we had a really nice time! Special thanks to Soriano :-)

We were so amazed by everything and so happy we had decided to stop there for lunch on our visit to Poole. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was sooo delicious, everything really beautifully served. The calamari were so tasteful and tender, the risotto was by far the best I’ve ever tried before. And the pizza was very tasty as well. Totally recommended if you want to taste really good Italian food. We will for sure come back on our next visit to Poole.

Wow, how La Lupa has changed! Our new top Italian restaurant in Poole. Lovely attentive and friendly service and great food.

Great food and service. Good home made food and portions. Recommend 💯

An absolute gem!! The bruschetta, the pasta, the arrabbiata, the seafood cooked to perfection 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼And the tiramisu is by far the best I’ve ever tasted👏🏼👏🏼 All the staff are fantastic & nothing is too much. Will be returning 💯%❤️

Beautiful birthday dinner this evening nothing was too much trouble.

Best Linguine al Granchio outside Naples

SO Delicious!! The focaccia appetizer, meats, pastas (ravioli) seafood, pizza, desserts, everything we had was so good, and the gentlemen who served us were also exceptional and attentive servers. Definitely recommend!

Lovely, delicious italian food, irresistible desserts

Nice place on the water, good service, good food portions. Managed to park for free. Non seafood meals were really good. Downsides: All seafood was overcooked and hence tough/tasteless, no Amex accepted, gratuities were cash only

A lovely meal, great atmosphere and brilliant customer service from every member of staff who spoke to us. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to going back again. The food we ordered was delicious, I did take photos they aren't brilliant as I was so keen to eat I had already started before I remembered.

Really delicious Italian food!! Very authentic, generous portions, great coffee. The service is very attentive and extremely friendly and helpful. Absolutely recommended!

Nice food and friendly staff. We arrived late, but nothing stopped the waiter to welcome us with a smile on his face.

Good, but not perfect, seefood risotto was a bit too salty and lasagna was cooked the day before

Excellent food, excellent service, very good value for money.

When I dined at La Lupa Ristorante e Pizzeria in Poole Quay, I felt instantly welcomed by its cozy atmosphere. As the oldest Italian restaurant in Poole, it has a special charm. The homemade pasta and wood-fired pizza I tried were amazing, made with fresh, local ingredients. The Tiramisu was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. The friendly service and delicious food made it a memorable experience. I highly recommend visiting La Lupa for a genuine Italian dining experience!!!!

I had a delicious lunch with my friends.

Superb meal and excellent service

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 :)

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Pizza and desert is delicious- Thank you

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

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