28Sep2011 Lupa to Host Ronchi di Cialla of Friuli
We invite you to this spectacular food and wine event with Ivan Rapuzzi as he showcases his family estate wines.

The Ronchi di Cialla estate in Friuli is strictly a family business. While Dina and Paolo Rapuzzi, who founded it in 1970, were attracted by wine growing as a way of living, their children Pierpaolo and Ivan belong to a generation that "grew up with vines". Both of them firmly support the Ronchi di Cialla philosophy and immemorial wine making tradition of Friuli. This family has thus become an uncommon heir of ancient traditions on one hand and modern scientific knowledge on the other making this small family business out of the ordinary.

10Apr2011 Amaro, Lupa Style
Primum vivere, deinde philosophari
“First live, then talk about philosophy”

This Latin phrase tells us how important the harmony of the body is for Italian culture. After the pleasure of food it is important to treat digestion with the same high regard. Therefore we can understand why Italians have invented more than 350 different types of after-dinner drinks (digestives.) and at Lupa we boast one of the largest Amaro selections in all of New York City.

Join us every Sunday through Thursday to taste our favorite ‘Flights’ of Amari after 10:00pm. Enjoy a taste of three Amari for $12.00.
