    I went to Dinner tonight. The menu states and I quote Tuesday 1:2 prices wine. I said to the server “great 1/2 price wine” she agreed. I ordered a bottle. The check came. It was full Price. I said what about the 1/2 price offer. I was told “oh, that’s just for house wines”.i said “this is very unsatisfactory “. The response was basically too bad. I have been to numerous restaurants who offer wine deals on their wine list. It’s for the wine list. This is MISLEADING MARKETING in my view. I feel Badly treated Judge for yourself

    We had high hopes since we've been going to the Lupo Verde on 14th since 2018 and it's consistently excellent. So it was shocking to endure some of the worst food & drink we've ever had in D.C, specifically: 1) an Aperol spritz that arrived flat, which they remedied by pouring half out and then topping it off with club soda (really!); 2) the (unidentified) house valpolicella arrived in a carafe and was boxed-wine quality; 3) the short rib entree was at least half un-rendered fat and flavorless; 4) the tomato sauce on my chicken parm tasted like pure crushed tomatoes out of a can, with no oregano, garlic, or salt, and; 5) the chicken breasts in that parm had the skin *still on them*. I'm not one to make a scene or punish the server, so we quietly ate what we could, tipped 18%, and got out of there. We'll never return, and it was so bad I'm going to think twice about even going to the 14th street location again.

    Wonderful dinner. Lovely setting. Reminded us of a small restaurant in Cremona. All four of us loved our food. The fried artichoke appetizer was delicious. We have never been in Italy for artichoke season so this was a first. Lasagna was delicious. Short rib fettuccine is highly recommended. Wines are reasonable but if variety seems limited a corkage fee is available. We will be back. Book early as it’s small.

    Always one of my favorite places. The food is excellent. The service is excellent. The vibe is excellent. I’m a little biased about my favorite restaurant in my neighborhood. But it’s always a pleasure to dine here. Expensive? A little. But you get what you pay for. And I like it. A lot. Cheers!

    I come here quite frequently as I work close by and while I enjoy the food each time I visit (except for one frozen carpaccio a while back that instead of giving me a new one they just put under the heat lamp and it then became cooked), the manager is never kind. Like I mean, ever. She is never warm and welcoming. She usually is the host as well and just sits at the bar top on her computer. She acts like it’s a chore anytime a guest comes in to be seated or a server asks her for something or a bartender needs a manager swipe for something. She is rude to guests and rolls her eyes. It was 70 degrees on Sunday so we asked to sit outside. Mind you no one was in the restaurant at 1130am on Sunday brunch and no one was on the patio either. It was such a to do and made us feel very unwelcome. As a restaurant manager who has a patio, you should probably foresee folks wanting to sit there on the first pleasant weather day of the season. I just honestly hate when she is there, she ruins the mood of the whole restaurant, I feel bad for the staff honestly. I just wish she’d find either joy in her work or work elsewhere. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable and upsold us and we enjoyed her service. The food was great and brunch offerings were good too.

    Brussels sprouts, grilled zucchini, and lamb ragu all exceeded my expectations. Very cramped and noisy on a Friday night, so it is not conducive to a quiet tete-a-tete.

    This is the third time I’ve been to Lupo Verde. The food is always delicious and the atmosphere is wonderful. It was nice on a Sunday night because it was quiet and peaceful and we had a lot of opportunity to catch up over a bottle of wine. I love the idea of their fried artichokes, but I would’ve preferred it if they were made more authentically, less breading, other than that everything else was amazing.

    It is a very lively place with good recommendations for food. Unfortunately one of our meals was not what we expected; it was overdone and not as tasty. However, highly recommend the fried artichoke for appetizer. Wait staff were excellent.

    How many restaurants can you walk into where when you sit down your drink is presented to you without asking????? One of the many reasons I love this restaurant. The food was delicious, the staff delightful ( and we were 30 minutes late due to traffic and they held our table) And we cannot wait to go back and I LOVE YOU RAY
