Farm-to-Table, Seasonally Inspired New World Cuisine, Made From Scratch

By Chef Rick Lopez, The Mind Behind La Tavola

Our Menu

At Lupo, we honor contemporary American cuisine through a modern, farm-to-table approach. Each dish is handcrafted daily using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms. Our kitchen celebrates time-honored recipes while embracing new world techniques, ensuring every plate is crafted with authenticity and care. True to our roots, everything is made from scratch, allowing the pure flavors of our ingredients to shine through.

Meet Chef Rick Lopez and Chef Courtney Nielsen

Owner Rick Lopez, who grew up in Upper Arlington, founded Lupo in 2018 in a historic bank building to showcase the exceptional talents of Chef Todd Elder, formerly of La Tavola. Now, with Chef Courtney Nielsen, who helped open La Tavola and worked at Knead with Lopez, they’ve created a brand new menu at Lupo, focusing on local Ohio ingredients while exploring New World Cuisine.
