I am also surprised by the average review of Lupa - it is the most authentic Roman food in California (I lived in Rome for 2 years so I should know). Perhaps the reviewer is used to Americanized Italian food. Anyways, I had the ravioli last week and it was very flavorful and cooked perfectly. service was great and I found all of the Italian bantering very charming. I get to SF every few months and try and get to Lupa each trip.
Pros: fresh handmade pasta, roman style, salads
Cons: parking not very easy
