LupoLab

Perth’s pasta purists are quietly passing around the address for LupoLab. Think effortless sprezzatura on a sunlit, northeast-facing patio—the ultimate setting for il dolce far niente over a long Sunday lunch. Those who frequent this lively dining room insist the traditional carbonara is a masterclass in rich, authentic flavor, while the lamb lasagna and pillowy gnocchi command immediate respect. Start with the meatballs—a non-negotiable, according to those who claim the corner tables with city views. Then, elevate that prawn pasta with a generous scoop of creamy stracciatella. The drinks program? Lethal in the best way. Cocktail aficionados are throwing back the Lupo Sour and Mexican Fizz before diving into a flawlessly executed 28-day aged beef fillet. Impeccable, attentive service. Constantly rotating weekly specials. Finish with a classic tiramisu or decadent chocolate fudge brownie, and suddenly you’re planning your next visit before the plates are even cleared.
