Eating In…Rehoboth Beach, Lupo di Mare, Fresh Cuisine, Pastas and Sauces are Prepared Daily, Dowtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches
It was Sunday and I was trying to figure out what restaurant to choose in Downtown Rehoboth Beach for dinner with a couple of friends. We have plenty of restaurants, you know. And, quite good, as well. Sunday evening is a quieter time and I love it.
So, I decided to check Lupo di Mare’s website. You can open it yourselves, as well. It is http://www.lupodimarerehoboth.com. You see that fish there on the dinner menu? That’s what I wanted for dinner. No more thinking.
Lupo di Mare is located at 247 Rehoboth Ave. in the Hotel Rehoboth. Tel. 302-226-2240. The restaurant has huge windows overlooking the Avenue. You can order take out. But, no reservations. If you have to wait a bit, just have a drink at the bar. It is small, but comfortable.
Their food is fresh, with pastas and sauces made daily. Lupo di Mare offers take out. The restaurant is well aware of people with food allergies and will accommodate you as much as they can and are able to. It has been consistently good.
I also really like their focaccia bread with a side order of Virgin Olive Oil. The bread has a slight sweetness to it and the red pepper flakes adds just a hint of flavor to the oil.
We also ordered oven roasted marcona almonds with rosemary and sea salt. They were perfect to have with our drinks.
I have only had the Shaved Brussels Sprouts at Lupo di Mare. The truffle oil and pecorino make this appetizer or salad, one of my favorites. It is truly delicious.
One of my guests had pasta, baked with spicy sausage, eggplant, ricotta, mozzarella and fresh herbs. I had to be quick with the camera because he was ready to start eating.
My husband decided on Chargrilled Octupus. This was a starter appetizer and it had shaved fennel, black olive tapenade, white beans, fresh herbs and lemon.
Another of my guests decided that she would have just a salad for dinner. The pistachio, chickpea and beet salad with bleu cheese, shaved brussels, balsamic and crushed pistachios and extra Virgin Olive Oil. I have had this salad in the past and the combination of all those ingredients makes this salad full of flavor.
My dish was perfect and I got exactly what I wanted. Pan seared Sea Bass served with a side of broccoli rabe, with red and yellow peppers, garlic and extra Virgin Olive Oil. Talking about flavor in a dish. When you have a whole fish, you really get exactly what the fish should taste like. I know the bones get to some of you but this particular fish was easy to work with.
No dessert was ordered since we had eaten quite a bit. I think I had a coffee and our evening was one of those where you take a deep breath and give thanks for having such good friends.
Talk to you later…have a good one!!

Everything looks DELICIOUS!! I have never been at the Lupo di Mare but it seems like a fantastic place to eat. I’ll certainly visit the restaurant next time I dine out. Thanks for the lovely pictures.
Lupo has been consistent in preparing very interesting dishes. I hope you do try it. Let me know. Afterall, it is my personal opinion. We all do have different expectations. Thanks for your comments to my blog.
