   Wine by the glass list limited and wines not great. Calamari in swordfish dish was tough and hard to cut and shrimp in pasta dish was fishy tasting. Food was unremarkable. Would not eat there again.

   It was a lively evening which is great but the noise level outside was a bit much. Food was ok. I ordered the Gnocchi and it's cauliflower forward and a bit bland. Friend ordered the short rib ravioli and it was fine but not memorable. Panda Cotta was delicious.

   Good food and we were allowed to take our time and have multiple courses while chatting. Always a good experience.

   Service was awesome!! Our waiter was very nice and friendly. The food was good, like a 7.8/10. It wasn't over the top amazing, but definitely tasty. You could tell it was fresh, homemade Italian food.

   The mussels and bread were good, but the main entrees and desserts were lacking. Like a suburban neighborhood Italian place at $35-$60 per plate. Bad value. Tables were crunched together and in the middle of server lanes. Our server was using a fake Italian accent, which was amusing.

    First, a confession: I found Lupo Verde by searching for "Affordable Italian" in DC. I read the reviews from recent diners. Before I tell you what was a bit 'off', let me say this is a nice place for a mid day meal. We enjoyed our food and wine. The place has a certain charm, and I recommend it - within a few limits. They have a prezzo fisso menu for $29 at lunch with a salad and main course included. The salads are decent - we had the Lupo Verde salad with bib lettuce and the pear salad with walnuts. Both were good. The dressing on the Lupo Verde salad needed a bit more vinegar and we ordered that. For mains, we had one Cacio Pepe and one Panino con Pollo. The pasta was decent and mostly faithful to the standard Cacio; the sandwich was less well received: the chicken cutlet was dry and over cooked. The mozzarella was cold and too thick for the sandwich. The wines we chose were both by-the-glass and decent. My wife had a decent Vermentino, and I had a Valpolicella. The Ripasso Valpolicella was $16 per glass, and after lunch we found the exact same wine in Trade Joes (next door) for $19 per bottle. Given that the restaurant buys wines for less than Trader Joes sells them, I would guess I paid for an entire bottle by buying one glass. It was a drinkable wine. Not sure if a 400% markup has become the 'new norm' or not. It kind of looks that way everywhere. Before tip, our bill was just under $80. With tip it came to $96. You can eat here and have a decent meal at a decent price.
