I enjoyed the meal. Definitely fresh ingredients. The bread is lovely and gorgeous. It tastes even better. Warm and paired with olive oil. My waiter Keith was nice but I went on 1/2 price Parm night. He wrote original price amount in my check and merchant copy. I guess to suggest I tip on the original not discounted price. I didn't like that at all!!! I get it but If you're THAT worried about tips don't work on the 1/2 price nights. But don't soft push your tip. I was gonna give a tip off the original price anyway. Sometimes people don't have it and come to save money but get a good meal they wouldn't usually be able to afford. That just left a bad taste in my mouth and the reason I gave a 3. The crowd is older and it is a cozy space.

The calamari was good with just a dusting of flour, rather than some heavy coating. The seared scallops were somewhat overcooked for me. The bolognese was no more than average. The cannelloni trifle was interesting just because I hadn't had it before now. The service was not that great. I believe the young man was new and I wasn't quite sure of his command of the English Language. Maybe, he was new and a little shy. It wasn't a bad meal, but I enjoyed our first outing last year a lot more.

We stayed at the Hotel Rehoboth and they offer free breakfast at this restaurant but we didn't get a chance to eat lunch or dinner here. Breakfast was great, servers were friendly (thanks Brian) .

May have been an off night but it was lacking in flavor except for salt. Not worth it, one of my least favorite meals in town so far. Did not compare to the other sister restaurant's. The large Windows are nice to look out and the lobby entrance is very nice though

Entrance to restaurant is in HotelRehoboth. No wait but almost fully packed dining room in the off-season on a Tuesday. The tables are very close together and almost hard to get thru the dining room to be seated and to leave. Attentive waitstaff. Excellent marinated olives appetizer with green and kalamata olives. Forgot pic. But good size portion to share for 2. Chicken parm was half off. Extensive wine selection. Fresh shaved Parmesan offered table side during entree delivery. Overall very nice ambiance.

For a tiny town on the Delaware coast, Rehoboth Beach has an impressive choice of fine dining experiences. Even as a semi-local, I do my best to try places that are highly recommended, but I also fall into the habit of going to the same favorite places again and again! Until now, if I was craving high-end Italian, DiFebo’s was the obvious choice. They are still high on my list, but I am grateful that a friend recently took me to Lupo! Their menu is concise, but includes many of the favorites from different regions of Italy. The kitchen is obviously skilled in traditional preparations, including the deceptively simple peasant dish, Cacio e Pepe. The Burrata cheese appetizer is a dish that I AM NOT SHARING, so don’t even try. Get your own. Even the house-made bread, accompanied by high-quality olive oil for dipping, is irresistible. Entrée portions are quite generous, so come with a big appetite or be prepared to bring home leftovers. The wine list is well-selected, and has great choices at a variety of price points. The dining room is not too big, so reservations are necessary, but the space is simply and elegantly designed so you do not feel crowded. Outdoor seating is available. There is a tiny bar as well, at which you can wait for a table or enjoy the happy hour specials! Service is professional and well-coordinated. Shout outs to excellent server John and friendly bartender Lindsay for a top-notch experience! Located on busy Rehoboth Avenue, parking can be a challenge, especially in the summer. Otherwise, Lupo is now in my mix of favorite restaurants in downtown Rehoboth.

Food was fabulous and everything was super fresh. Burrata appetizer was simply delicious, don't miss it! Service was impeccable as well. Win/win all around. We'll definitely be back.

The staff was great. Very kind and courteous. The bread was decent. Wasn’t warm. Everyone has different likes and taste buds, but the Chicken Parmigiana wasn’t good to me. The pasta was undercooked, very firm and was sticking together in clumps, the sauce is a deep dark sauce and I like it on the sweet side. The chicken parmigiana was a thick piece of meat, but the breading all came off so all you have is chicken meat in pasta and sauce. It’s not the way I like it. I won’t be back, but like I said everyone has different opinions.

Had a great dinner. Highly recommend

Beyond disappointed. Just left, and was really looking forward to eating here for the first time. I’m also am a HUGE SODEL fan, and love many of their restaurants.This just isn’t one of them.I’ll start with the positives: the bread. Can they sell this bread to take home. It was amazing. Warm, cooked perfectly with dipping oil.More good: (random) The wine glass, just not the wine. I’m not faulting them for the wine since they have a killer selection, I just decided on the wrong wine. But the wine glass…I loved it.The not so good: My spaghetti and Veal. The meatballs were just bland and tasted as if they were just frozen meatballs. I could tell the pasta was fresh, but again when comparing this meal to other local Italian restaurants it falls short.Ambiance: Very nice! A little more upscale than I thought, but that’s ok! It had a older, classy vibe.
