Lupessa

Lupessa completely exceeded my expectations. The dining room is beautiful, and you can tell a lot of thought went into the design. The kitchen itself looked incredibly clean and organized, which to me says a lot about the standards they hold. Everything in the restaurant is just nice to look at. The service was fast, polished, and genuinely kind. It was an exceptional example of good hospitality. I cannot for the life of me remember our servers name, but he was great! Chef Devon was also especially welcoming and took great care of us, special thanks to him. The menu is unique and well executed. Everything we tried was delicious, creative, and beautiful. I love food that feels intentional. This is easily one of my new top spots in Salt Lake City. I’ll absolutely be back. Try the pasta!!

I don’t write many reviews but we had such a great time at Lupessa I had to write one. The place is beautiful inside with tons of stone and lighting. All of the food was crazy good, and we got a bit of everything. The pasta and pizza were awesome and we were pleasantly surprised by the Asparagus and poached egg dish. Our server Robert was super friendly and attentive but not stuffy. The chef Devon is super talented. We will be back for sure.

The location is great, and they offer a valet service, although it can be a bit complicated to understand. We had a 7 PM reservation for four guests, but the host mistakenly thought she had given our table away. As a result, we had to wait for our table and ended up having a drink at the bar. The ambience hasn’t changed much since the Italian Graffiti restaurant was here; the layout is still quite odd. Now, let’s discuss the food. We started with their homemade focaccia bread, which was amazing. For appetizers, we ordered: - **Beef Carpaccio:** It was fresh, of a good portion size, and absolutely delicious. - **Burrata:** This was another standout starter. The burrata was fresh, and the accompanying ingredients complemented it perfectly. - **Little Gem Salad:** This is one of my wif

For our New Year's date we decided to try and new restaurant that kept popping up on our feeds. Lupressa at The Gateway. It was fabulous. We had the brunette as our appetizer. Perfect amount for a starter. I got the Seabass and my husband got the scallops. Both were so so good. The Seabass married the lemon sauce with grape tomatoes and it melted in my mouth. We added the smashed potatoes, asparagus and mushrooms as sides. The asparagus wasn't my favorite, but aside from that everything was great. We loved it! Atmosphere was exceptional as well.

Such an amazing place for food and vibes. I don’t know why they are rated a 4 start. I loved everything that we had. The fresh bread was outstanding and our appetizer was great. Entrees were good as well. Would go back and try other dishes!
