A Delightful Family Feast at Lupa Middelburg Lupa Restaurant in Middelburg is a true hidden gem where warm hospitality meets hearty Italian flavors. From the moment we arrived, the welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a wonderful evening. Our waiter, Sifiso, was an absolute star—friendly, attentive, and effortlessly professional. His excellent service made us feel right at home. The food was simply delicious. The lamb shanks were perfectly tender and full of rich, comforting flavor, while the Alfredo pasta was creamy, silky, and indulgent—exactly what an Alfredo should be. The kids were just as thrilled with their meals, devouring the cheesy New Yorker pizza and the classic spaghetti and meatballs with big smiles. Whether you’re looking for a cozy family night out or a satisfying Italian feast, Lupa Middelburg delivers on every level. With food this good and service as exceptional as Sifiso’s, Pity I didn't take pictures of the food. it’s a place you’ll want to return to again and again.
