Went with my sister and girlfriends for a well needed girls night. We were well taken care of by Anthony, our server, and shout out to Dan! The food was sensational, cooked to perfection, and brought out at the perfect timing. The dessert is truly where it is at. Olive cake, brownie, must haves. Truthfully anything you pick will be an experience to share and have. Highly recommended and excited to go back!

My wife & I waited 3 months to get a reservation here and it was absolutely worth the wait. La Lupa delivers a strong punch from the first bite to the last. Our server Brian was outstanding, he was very passionate about their menu and gave us high praise for our choices. 10/10 no notes, best meal in Freehold area? No. Best meal in Jersey? No. It was the best meal we’ve ever had and will absolutely return

Dinner at La Lupa was great! Our server, Brian, was very accommodating and helpful. For appetizers, we ordered the supplì, and split the Lupa pizza. For our main meal, we ordered the rigatoni carbonara and the bucatini amatricana. For a side, we got the cacio e pepe potatoes. We were too full for dessert, but we did end of with coffee. Highly recommend La Lupa. Definitely make a reservation. Can't wait to go back!

Smaller than I expected on the inside but a great vibe and they operate well even with the tighter space. We did the Pizza bar seats because we wanted to come 15 minutes earlier than our reservation. Only waited about 10-15 minutes for the couple before us but we were greeted by the host and he opened our bottle while we waited and walked us through the menu. Very nice guy, forget his name, but can tell he’s passionate about it. Food was excellent and was very satisfied. 11/10. Gnocchi, wagyu skirt, brussel sprouts, diavola pizza, cookie and gelato. A lot of the favorites and can see why. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall service was some of the best I’ve seen in recent memory. Cool story behind it as well being local friends and creating a dope re

One of the best restaurants I’ve tried, and definitely my favorite local one in Central Jersey! Mike is always a great waiter. Never had a dish I didn’t like. Must try dishes are the Tuscan chicken, steak tartare if available, carbonara, any of the pizzas, Kansas City, Skirt steak is a close 2nd steak. Used to eating in NYC and North Jersey scene and this my favorite Italian restaurant. Intimate atmosphere, BYOB is a plus! Food and service are unmatched! Regular customer.
