Italian restaurant at 5518 La Jolla Blvd in the Bird Rock corridor of La Jolla, 92037, serving fresh, locally sourced pasta, pizza, and seafood in a warm neighborhood setting. The menu rotates with the seasons alongside American Pizza Manufacturing up the Boulevard, the two giving Bird Rock both a sit-down Italian kitchen and a take-and-bake option within walking distance. Standout appetizers include jumbo prawns sautéed in white wine and herbs, burrata with prosciutto and arugula, and fried calamari with the house Lupi sauce. Entrees span wood-fired pizzas, homemade pasta, and the signature Lupi Pizza — a local favorite. Curbside pickup makes takeout easy, and the dining room delivers a convivial Italian feel well off the tourist-heavy Prospect Street strip. Village slice seekers who want a no-frills New York pie head to Pizza On Pearl.
