THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Lupo by Wolfgang Puck Menu

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Lupo by Wolfgang Puck Restaurant Review:

Foodies have always wondered what Wolfgang Puck's cuisine would have been like had he focused more on Italy than France. They have good reason to be happy in this striking restaurant with an elegant bar as popular as the dining room. Among antipasti is the grilled octopus with cannellini beans, salsa verde, pickled onion and arugula. Homey soups, such as pasta e fagioli (Tuscan white bean and pasta soup with pancetta, carrots, onions, garlic and rosemary, served with breadsticks), are winners. Favorite pasta creations include ravioli ai quattro formaggio, four cheese ravioli with tomato sauce, basil and extra virgin olive oil. Entrées have included grilled swordfish with porcini mushrooms and tarragon cream and salsiccia alla casalinga (house-made sausage, white polenta, peppers and onions). Also on the menu are grilled Mediterranean sea bass with eggplant, artichokes, roasted peppers and olives; and scaloppine of veal "Marsala" with sautéed field mushrooms, parsley and Parmesan. Save room for the zuccotto, glazed chocolate mousse with hazelnut crunchy wafer; and the ricotta cheesecake with farmer's blueberries. The wine list is filled with hard-to-find boutique Italian bottles and surprises from other regions.
