    This was my first time at Lupa Trattoria. I was meeting an old friend and we needed time to catch up with one another. The wait staff was very pleasant and patient with us as we were at our table for a long time. My main course of pasta was excellent, the Caesar salad was fine. My friend's main course also was excellent. I don't believe the restaurant has a wine list, but I did enjoy the glass that I ordered from among the three options provided by the waiter. Other guests at the restaurant included families with children. I was happy to see them accommodated. I plan to return to this pleasant, reasonably-priced restaurant.

    The only restaurant I'm aware of in the Bay area that serves Sardinian food. Think octopus, squid, sea urchin, squid ink, interesting pastas. We split a spaghetti dish, then had pasta with squid ink and roasted prawns. All the dishes are in Sardu, the Sardinian language, which I found fascinating. Not cheap, but the place was packed, which should tell you something.
