Reviews of Il Lupo

Having driven past so many times thinking iv never been there, one day I will go (just means driving, not drinking). I finally made an effort and went last night! Wow, why didn't we go before it was absolutely amazing. The food is fantastic and so much choice, real italin feel to the whole dishes. The mushrooms were out if this world and my partner said the same about the meatballs! From the moment we walked in, the staff and service were fabulous, so friendly and welcoming. Definitely service with a smile. I definitely recommend this place, don't drive past book it and go for sure!

We live 4 miles from this restaurant, The owner runs the kitchen and has some great guys running the front of house, everything is home cooked and genuine Italian fair, Can’t say we have ever had a bad meal there, Great location in the Peak District walking distance from Chatsworth house. Can thoroughly recommend. 10/10

This is a rare gem of a restaurant. My other half and I have been going to this place for our Italian fix since 2008, and to be honest we’ve tried other places local to us but none hit the mark like this place (we travel about an hour from Doncaster area… it’s that good) Family run, traditionally cooked Italian food at its best, and there’s plenty of it, simply presented without the faff and fluff you get at some places. Set at the side of the village green this stone building decor is warm, inviting and cosy with a traditional Italian rustic feel, Gabs has chosen his staff well, friendly warm and welcoming it’s like being with family every time you visit. Starters are a good size serving but the mains are incredibly generous, delicious flavours with nothing overpowering this allows the tastes to come through of each dish & it doesn’t disappoint. If you have enough room for dessert they are a divine melt in the mouth experience not to be missed. So if you like good honest homemade Italian food made by the family, served by the family, that makes you feel like part of the family give this place a try.

What can I say!!! This is the best Italian I have ever dined at. The food and service was on another level, could not have asked for more. Also, as it was my daughters birthday, i spoke with the restraunt beforehand regarding some accommodations, and everything was in place by the time we arrived. Just a pity I live so far away, or I would definitely be a regular. Its a must for a foodie to visit this place

We love Italy, the scenery, the people and of course the food. At Il Lupo the service, atmosphere and food is authentic Italian. Huge menu choices, attentive staff, snug, intimate restaurant setting. Really good gluten free selection too! Looking forward to coming back over and over again to try as much of the menu as possible.

Very pleasant atmosphere. You want a place that makes you sit and wait awhile and forces you to have a conversation with one another as your pizza is cooked to perfection? You want a place that makes you feel cozy and not feel stressed about what you have to wear? This is the place for you. The pizza was great, the stomach is full, but there is no feeling of heaviness even for a moment. A perfectly prepared pizza base. The pizza here is real amazing and would recommend trying these guys out. Don’t be afraid to order something other than pizza because whatever you order will be on point. A small piece of Italy.
