A note to Citysearch: This posting should be deleted as it is duplicative -- it is also listed as Lupa Trattoria on your website, and there are several reviews for this restaurant there. But just in case people miss that link, I'l paste in my review here:
I have to disagree with some of the comments in the editorial review on Lupa. I live a few blocks from Lupa and eat there several times a month and every meal I've had here has been excellent. I love exploring San Franciso's restaurants, but I never tire of Lupa, and I can't go more than two weeks without eating here. The meal will start with their amazing homemade bread. It's divine. All of their pastas are excellent & homemade -- I've had several versions of their ravioli-- all fantastic. I've had most of their meat dishes and they were all delicious as well. Lupa has a reasonable and great selection of wines. The owner is very friendly & most of the wait-staff is wonderful (there's one surly one, but what can you do?). This is your quintissential neighborhood restaurant -- friendly (not formal) service, warm and comfortable dining room, and you can almost always get a table. They will definitely accomodate large groups -- I called at 7 on a Saturday night and they set up a table for eight within half a hour. The only thing I can't figure out about Lupa is why there isn't a line out the door every night . . .
Pros: Delicious food, wine, bread
Cons: parking?
