About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
A chef-driven dining experience in the heart of Old Upper Arlington. Executive Chef Todd Elder prides himself on our constantly changing menu featuring ingredients from local partners at Hershberger Farms, Coast to Local Seafood, Bluescreek Farms, and Mushroom Harvest as well as a selection of globally imported goods. Each visit can become a new dining experience. Try a taste of Spain with a paella or go on a journey to Italy with a house-made pasta. Feeling adventurous? Then try a signature dish, slow braised and barbecued Octopus with seasonal pairings. Or stay close to home with a Smashburger or seasonal salad!

During summer nights relax with a Lupo craft cocktail, glass of wine, or local beer on the patio. Sit indoors and enjoy our cozy dining room, bar, or private Vault Dining Room. There is never any issue with parking at Lupo with our private parking lot next door and plenty of spaces out front!

    Dining with my wife we sat on the patio for dinner. We started with drinks, my wife having a glass of wine and I ordered a Kettle One and tonic in a tall glass. Wine was fine but v&t came in a rocks glass and tasted like water with a splash of vodka. Sent it back and still got a rocks glass but with decent tonic but light on the vodka. Started with the strawberry guacamole appetizer. Nice flavor and reasonable portion. Next we both had the “Caesar Salad” made with Poblano dressing. Just because you put romaine and parmesan in a salad doesn’t make it a Caesar salad! The overpowering cumin laced dressing made this a taco salad at best. Then we had two shareables. The garlic shrimp was just OK but lacked flavor overall. The beef and lamb stuffed taquitos were good and likely the best dish we had. We have been to Lupo several times over the years but this time I found the menu uninspiring and it will be a while before we return if ever.

    New menu was rather subpar. And they ran out of our favorite dishes. Normally 5/5, but this experience was definitely not as good.

    We were outside, and since lupo is on a loww traffic street noise wasn’t an issue. Food as always good, service very good, and outside ambience isn’t an issue, tho the across the street view is lafy and nice.

    This restaurant is a hidden gem and a must try in Columbus. This is a top 10 restaurant in Columbus. The food is excellent , well prepared and very fresh. The many unique flavors in each selection we tried were mind blowing. The wait staff is best in class and very attentive. I highly recommend and can't wait to come back!!
