Cucina Lupo, Carson City’s newest modern Italian restaurant, invites residents to join them for lunch and dinner services starting Tuesday, Nov. 12. Located at 308 N. Curry Street, Cucina Lupo fills the same space the Martin Hotel recently vacated. When the owner of the Martin Hotel closed down the Carson City location, Steve Neighbors, a member of the Hop & Mae Foundation who built the mixed-use complex, reached out to Mark Estee and the Reno Local Food Group.

“Reno Local Food Group worked closely with Steve Neighbors to bring The Union Brewpub to life,” Estee said. “We knew we were lucky to have this opportunity to bring Lupo in and continue to be a part of the expanding Carson City dining experience.” Cucina Lupo will serve modern Italian dishes, influenced by the flavors of both northern and southern Italy, with a local Basque flair. Locals who enjoyed the Martin’s signature picon can still find it on the menu at Lupo.
