Lupo Lab

The Verdict

With their roots in Rome, the legends at Lupo Lab are dishing up authentic Italian food in the heart of Mount Hawthorn. The lunch and dinner menus are a dream come true for carb-lovers, with house-made pasta of all shapes and sizes taking center stage. Treat yourself to a bowl of fettuccine with crunchy guanciale and pecorino cheese, or dig into the gnocchi of the day. 

If a hearty breakfast and specialty coffee is what you’re after, these guys have also got you sorted. Sip on one of the house blends while you dig into the brekky burger–packed to the max with fried eggs, silverbeet and tomato–or the imperial salmon with potato croquettes, herbed goat’s cheese mousse, beetroot chips and two poached eggs.
