One of the best meals of my life! 100% will be back. The bartender Araceli was amazing and served us our drinks and dinner and desert (only seats available were at the bar on an early Thursday evening). The owner was there at the front and made the evening amazing by recommending drinks and etc. I had the Chicken Parm and an amazing Pana Cotta. My wife had the Lasagna and Tiramisu and was amazed (she's the foodie). Definitely highly recommended!! If he recommends a bottle of Amarone, believe him and get it!!! You won't be disappointed!!

This restaurant is an amazing place for a casual birthday dinner, our server Carmine is amazing and was hitting all the criteria for a perfect server. Med the owner of the restaurant was very kind and interactive with all the guests. The pizza was brilliant and authentic so was the panini. The calamari was fresh and delicious and so were the drinks. I personally would recommend there Shirley temple, which was the perfect balance of sweat, fruity, and carbonated. The overall vibe of the place is positive and I would definitely recommend everyone to visit!!!

Loved this place. Really busy but still really fast service. Great portion sizes and decently priced for the area.

Super happy we came here. We had to wait about 30 minutes, but it was worth it. We split a pizza for an app and it was delicious. Great crust and flavors. The watermelon salad was nice and light and refreshing. Good stuff. I finished it off with the Cacio de Pepe which was superb. Get this pasta regularly, but this has one of the best. My wife had the meatballs and loved them. My son had the chicken Parmesan and it was really good. Overall, we all loved our meals. Oh, and our waitress was excellent. She was super helpful and attentive to our needs.

Delicious Italian food in a cute spot! The staff is so helpful and friendly here. I highly recommend the lasagna, cacio e pepe and chicken parm. The spaghetti noodles are homemade and taste fantastic. The portions were normal size and the pricing was customary for a prime vacation spot.

This is the spot! Came here one night a little late for a bite and had some amazing grilled octopus and wine. Back the next night for fried artichoke and great simple but fresh caprese. The pizzas look fantastic coming out of the oven right in front of you. It’s intimate and social if that’s what you want. Direct and friendly service. A nice change of pace from the vibe right on the wharf. Drop in and enjoy this gem!

Wharf Lupo Marino- great experience! The pizza was delicious — perfectly baked with a great balance of flavors and a nice, crisp crust. The fries were fresh, golden, and seasoned just right. Cozy atmosphere and good service made the visit even better. A solid spot for anyone craving quality pizza and snacks.
