On election night we decided to get something to eat. Our choice for that evening was Lupo. I like the looks of the restaurant. Modern with clean lines.
Arriving early, I was able to take some pictures. As you can see, it is very open with large windows overlooking Rehoboth Avenue.
Their bread is so good; a bit sweet with a sprinkle of salt. Good combination.
Our appetizers:
An order of Marinated Olives with julienned sun dried tomatoes, toasted spices and virgin oil. The colors as intense as the flavors.
One of my favorite dishes at Lupo is the Shaved Brussels Sprouts. Just 3 ingredients; sprouts, truffle oil, pecorino.
Our entrees:
Not on the menu all the time…ask if they have the Lamb Shank. This dishes is so perfect for this time of the year. Full of flavor, the meat falling off the bone.
An entree of Gnocchi & Gorgonzola Cream, had shaved green apples, baby arugula, roasted garlic, pepper, rosemary and toasted walnuts. Also, a very well received meal.
I really enjoyed my Eggplant Parmesan. It has broccoli rabe, fried eggplant, fresh tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella and herbs. The eggplant was light and crispy and had the right amount of sauce and cheese.
No need for dessert; just a cappuccino!!
Talk to you later. Have a good one!!
