    My wife and I had a pleasant experience at Jaspers. After being recommended it by my mother in-law, we had high hopes with regard to the steakhouse. It did not disappoint. The food was outstanding and the service was as good as it gets.

    Food is beyond compare...great attention is given to each and every dish. Menu changes frequently in order to take advantage of seasonal ingredients. The crudo is the freshest fish possible...we usually order this appetizer...outstanding. The hand made pasta is so light and flavorful with inventive preparations. The olive oil cake is also one of our favorites. The owner and all the staff are welcoming to each and every person coming through the door. The waiters are well versed on the ingredients and cooking methods of all that is offered on the menu and can answer any questions on the night's offerings. Place is small so tables are close, and the noise level can be a bit high, but the overall feeling is energetic and fun. We wish La Lupa many more years of continued success.
