I’ve been many times over the years, different locations but the coffee, food and choice of Italian groceries has remained first class. But most of all, the atmosphere is so Italian and the staff are the best. It’s my first choice place to go in Manchester regardless of location. Simply the best 🇮🇹

All the food is amazing! Hard to make a choice! The staff were more than happy to accommodate my gluten free choices. I had the parmigiana di melanzane was super tasty and I would highly recommend! Millefoglie for desert...one word- wow!

If I was to take away a star it would be the location. My sat nav didn’t quite get me there. It’s in a funny tucked away corner. But I am not going to be so mean. That’s just a quirk of geography. We had a lovely meal that was very reasonably priced Service was good without being too much. It is a tiny tiny place so would worry about getting a table. I will probably phone first now I have seen how tiny Lupo is.

As an Italian that studies abroad it feels good to know that I can taste a piece of Italia anytime. The food is 100% authentic, tasty, simple and super delicious. Great atmosphere, great service and interesting selection of niche-products that are very hard to find anywhere else. The espresso is a must, by far the best you’ll ever try in Manchester (the tiramisù is amazing too) I suggest this place to anyone that appreciates great food and excellent ingredients.

I was recommended this Caffe by a friend and have been meaning to try it for months now. Today was my first visit and I collected lunch to take back to our offices to feed 9 members of staff. All I can say is that I wish I hadn't left it so long before we tried it as this little Caffe is a hidden gem. The food is restaurant quality all freshly prepared and you can tell. We tried a wide variety of dishes and all 9 of the staff were amazed by the quality of the food. Everything we tried both hot and cold dishes was met with appreciation from all 9 of us. You can tell it's home made and fresh and it was such a welcome change. Nico the owner was very friendly and extremely passionate about the food he produces and explained all the dishes he had on offer today. He makes everything himself and you can tell and it was also an added bonus to hear that he also grows most of his produce too. I was hesitant to leave a review not for any other reason but selfish reasons as we would like to keep this little gem all to ourselves however this place deserves the huge thumbs up that we are all giving it. We will continue to visit, enjoy it and shout from the roof tops about it, what a find !!! Thank you Lupo you made lunch time for everyone a pleasure today.

Very strange attitude to customer service Asked for a flat white. Answer: “it’s not on the menu we only make Italian recipes”Ok fair enough, can I have a latte with an extra shot please?” No can’t do that Wanted an espresso but they wouldn’t do a double espresso either. Worth noting that the server was very polite about the whole thing but the boss is so particular/fanatical about only serving his view of what a coffee should be he ignores the simple requests of his customers. If I hadn’t been short of time I would definitely have gone elsewhere and I certainly wouldn’t return. Pity really, because the coffee and cakes were good but still managed to leave a bad taste due to bad attitude

The owner likes to snigger and direct you to what he thinks you should order, rather than what you actually desire. Luckily, his attitude was enough for me to leave before I decided to part with my money. Lupo is a bizarre exercise in customer service.

This cafe appears to cater for office workers. There is no car park. My friend and I parked on ordsall hall - £2.50. Nobody had heard of cafe lupo but the staff at ordsall Hall were very helpful. They googled and printed a map for us. It was a 10 minute walk in a temperature of 30 degrees. The cafe is very difficult to find if you are not familiar with the area. If it hadn’t been for two office workers on their break we would never had found it. We thought we would have a coffee in the garden but even though it was 30 degrees there were no sun umbrellas in the garden. There was a notice in the window - iced coffee. I ordered an iced coffee and a white coffee. I was informed by a very unenthusiastic guy that there was no ice but he had sent for some. He couldn’t say how long the wait would be so we left. Not a happy experience.

Lupo is based near my office so I have visited on a number of occasions since the new location opened. I was initially delighted that Exchange Quay would finally have an independent/high quality coffee alternative to the other (limited) options available in the area - and envisaged myself visiting several times a week. The cafe itself is beautiful and the coffee is delicious (the pastries are very bland however), but every time I've paid the shop a visit I've been disappointed by the customer service, to the point where since my most recent visit I've decided never to return again.

Lupo Cafe' is the typical Italian cafe', very far from the Starbucks style stereotyped Italian cliche'. Here you can find several types of esquisite coffee, Nicola (the owner) is fond of upper quality coffee and buys the best ones travelling all around the world. Don't ask him to make any change to the tradition because he won't! At Lupo you can only find the true Italian traditional stuff... The menu includes several types of cakes, biscuits, crostate, tiramisu, and at lunchtime you can choose among two choices, prepared fresh in the morning and different every day. Last but not least, you can buy delicatessen imported from Italy, from special pasta Gragnano to Buffalo mozzarella cheese from Campania. A must to go for either starting the day properly or having a nice treat during the day!!!

This is a fantastic little Italian coffee house. The service is great - welcoming and friendly. The food and coffee are carefully sourced and well-prepared.

Went out of our way today for the " authentic " Italian coffee only to avow never to come back. Ordered a cappuccino with an extra shot only to be told " we can't do that " so ordered an espresso on the side. Espresso never arrived even though I asked 2 different people twice. I was really puzzled so asked again only to be told by Nico that he was flatly refusing to sell me an espresso because he knew that I would add it to my cappuccino, compromising what he believes to be the best cappuccino this side of Rome!!If you had made that clear from the outset then we would have turned on our heels and headed to any one of Manchester's fantastic independent coffee shops where they know as much about coffee as you but don't patronise their customers.Having looked through similar reviews to mine , you seem to say the same thing about it "not being personal" but like I tried to explain to you, it is personal because you question my judgement, assume you know better than me and embarrassed me. NOT the way to treat a paying customer. Please do not reply to me as you have with others ,with the same dross about hand crafted coffee beans etc etc. You already gave us the patronising lecture. Couldn't wait to get out of there

Walking in you can immediately tell the quality of this cafe, from the biscuits from Rome to the homemade tiramisu, cakes and pastries on display. They serve what is fresh that day- 2 meals one vegetarian and one meat option. There is something quite special about a place that only serves that days best ingredients and with no printed menu. Both meals- we had one of each, did not disappoint, both were delicious and I would gladly go back! I even enjoyed the coffee- which I don't normally drink and then indulged in the tiramisu which was beautiful. The owner was brilliant from the recommendations to being attentive but not imposing. A place definitely worth visiting.

If you are a proper foodie and love your coffee, get your head down to Lupo. You ain't going to be served by some miserable teenager who has no character and also has no knowledge about coffee so he burns your expensive coffee so you instantly regret going to any of them dire coffee shops. You will be served by the most friendly staff who will welcome you in with a smile. Nico the owner will always recommend his award winning tiramisu and share his knowledge of coffee with you.

I was so happy to find a good coffee that tastes as one from my home country. I have been to different coffee shops all around Manchester and coffee did not taste like any in Italy. I truly believe it is about quality (Lupo) and not the quantity (Starbucks and every other chain). Lack of Flat White does not disturb me at all, since there is an amazing cappuccino.

Was passing by and decided to grab a quick coffee. Had to wait a good while before being asked what I'd like as the two staff were busy looking at a video on a mobile phone. They don't do a flat white but said their cafe latte was similar - as it was a small cup not a vat of milk like in Starbucks. The coffee was small, but judging by the lack of strength it must only have contained a single shot of espresso. Don't know if this is penny pinching or just that they believe coffee should only be a background taste! Either way, I won't be back.

A lovely quirky café where there is always friendly banter with the owner, Nico who is from Rome. The quality of the coffee is excellent and together with the Italian clientele allow you to feel, on a sunny day, as if you were in Italy. The breakfasts are delicious especially the smoked salmon and a great way to start your Saturday. Nico always has something new to offer you, often the latest cake or produce from Italy, of which the Sicilian blood oranges are delicious. The café looks a little basic from the outside, just by Salford Central Station, but is a gem to discover.

Went into lupo on a dreary Monday afternoon. Warm welcome. I had the mozzarella to start followed by lasagne. Real quality flavours. Well seasoned also it is evident top quality ingredients are used. The mozzarella was good. The flavoured sparkling water was also very good. I then followed it up with a very good espresso. If I was being constructive the quality of the tomatoes was not the best. However it is February so I don't expect them to be. Maybe should look at other seasonal ingredients to explore to maximise the quality.Great for lunch. Will be back.

We have just been in for the first time and had a delicious coffee and cake,can't wait until we are in the area again to try more food.We felt very welcome and Nico even allowed us to bring in the dog( who I have to say is VERY well behaved and you can take her anywhere).It is a small cafe but it is nice to see the food is homemade and good to support the independent businesses.

The best coffee in Manchester and surroundings! Extremely good food, truly Italian way and quality. I'll be an usual for sure. You can say the quality is high by the fact they don't have a standard menu for lunches, they offer traditional and creative specials every day with fresh food, often arrived from Italy.Nico, the owner I guess, is very friendly and professional and deserves all the success they're having.

Great food, great staff, the best espresso in the UK. The pasta alla norma was delicious and the blueberries and figs ricotta cheesecake was to die for. They have one of my favourite italian fizzy drinks, the chinotto (yay!).The espresso was amazing, beautiful aroma.

Very small but as charming. Owners are passionate, very attentive to detail and extremely well-versed to promoting themselves. The cakes always look soooo good!

Best coffee in Manchester. No doubt. The food is also sublime and definitely worth a lunch time visit if you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine.

This was our 2nd visit to Lupo and in fact we went twice today, once for coffee this morning and back for lunch later this afternoon.This is a great authentic and relaxing cafe which provides great coffee, home made cake and pasta.Such a refreshing change from going to a high street chain.Would strongly recommend this cafe and also great to support a local individual business.

Had a walk after shopping and decided to call for a quick coffee. Guy behind counter very distracted and not very welcoming. I had read this was friendly warm cafe but didn't really get that feeling. It's very small inside. Quite a decent menu and specials change every day. I ordered a latte and it wasn't really anything special to be honest and was very expensive. I wasn't even given sugar or napkin etc. I wouldn't go out of my way to go again.

Been here three times and really wanted to like it...little family run neighbourhood cafe however the experiences over the visits have added up to simply a 1 star experience.Firstly the portions are small and not exactly what you would call neighbourhood cafe prices. When you are paying the same amount for a pasta dish as you would in a San Carlo restaurant in here then you know something is amiss. Doubly so when you get a smaller portion than you might expect in San Carlo (or salvis for that matter)!What took the biscuit is on the last visit the owner refused to warm up my grandmas coffee. Despite her making clear when she ordered that she likes it hot, it was served lukewarm and the owner point blank refused to warm it up because it "would ruin the flavour of the milk". To be honest mate, my grandma is in her 70s when she asks for you to warm up her coffee and then I ask you and then she asks you again, then usually I would guess that means the customer wants it warmed up. Did not expect a refusal and to be told " it's nothing personal", i thought it was disgraceful and ruined my afternoon out with my grandmother, as silly as it sounds as I promised to take her to a nice friendly family run place.Any way illusion shattered, I can also say that the overpriced cakes are also lacking in flavour and NO WAY worth the cost.Don't believe the hype and definitely don't ask for your coffee to be served hot!

A warm welcome, some great chat in Italian and a really lovely tasty smooth cup of coffee. As we were leaving the lunch specials appeared on the board and they really made me want to stay just a little bit longer. Will certainly return when we have more time. Grazie tanto, Nicola.

這間咖啡廳就在我住的酒店式公寓旁,從第二天早晨起,就成為我每天早餐的地方。好喝順口的咖啡,加上美味早餐,甚至願意提供菜單上沒有的餐點以滿足我的需求。Nico店長也很熱情的招待,是個隨時都可以來坐坐的地方。

Awesome. I cannot express how chuffed I am that this place is in my neighbourhood. Real gutsy coffee with beautifully made (Italian style) breakfast. I feel like apologising that I hadn't been sooner. Two breakfasts (made with obvious love and care), two expresso, a cappuccino and a cannoli cost a tenner. Forget Cafe Nero. Lupo rules.

This hidden gem is one of the best places I have ever eaten! The owners are friendly and so passionate about what they are doing, we asked for their recommendations on what to eat and weren't disappointed! Possibly the tastiest sandwich I have ever eaten, I would definitely recommend the avocado and mozzarella; even the salad was delicious.We got a chocolate and orange and a raspberry and cream tart to take home, all made freshly at Lupo.I would recommend this place to anyone all of the food is freshly made and the staff are lovely, the atmosphere was lovely, I almost felt like I was in Italy! I will definitely be returning :)

I am a regular customer. I try to go there almost everyday because I love this place! They have a great coffee and their cakes are really good! they make their own cakes not like other places were they give you a frozen one. you can eat there as well. I had been there for breakfast and lunch and I really enjoyed it! I recommended Lupo to my friends as well. It´s a small place but Ilove it. You should try it. I am sure you will repeat! Friendly Staff as well!

Noisy, crowded, too many tables in a small room. Starters were ok, pretty basic. For main course had swordfish, which was ok (oily, tasting of nothing but garlic) but all it came with was a small side dish of veg - which were so undercooked the carrots were hard, let alone the broccoli which was raw. Will not visit again.

Set menu. Food very plain. Could have been supermarket bought. Table 7, all did not feel food was nice or of quality. Portion size too big
