About this restaurant
- Good for special occasions
- Neighborhood gem
- Charming
Coppa Osteria is the perfect paring of food and lifestyle, taking its personality from the affluent, family centric West University, Southampton, Rice and Museum District neighborhoods. Its clientele is an eclectic mix of professionals, university academics and young families – who all seem to know one another. With craft cocktails and an extensive wine list, it's easy to find the perfect beverage to pair with Coppa's modern Italian cuisine. Neapolitan-inspired pizzas are some of the most popular items on the menu – the Coppa Pepperoni and Carnissima are crowd favorites. Diners also flock for the Fritto Misto, Burrata Tartufo and Spaghetti Carbonara (Coppa's signature dish). Complete with a lively bar scene and a large outdoor patio that lends itself to sipping rosé and taking in the surrounding neighborhood scenery, Coppa is the ideal setting for an intimate all-day dining with family & friends.

Some excellent dishes are no longer on the menu, and the Carnissima pizza was a little bland this visit. A little disappointing this time but we will be back because it’s always a nice experience.

At first I thought some of the prices were steep; e.g. $20 for their home made focaccia served with 3 different flavored butters and a fine olive oil. But then I tasted it. Wow! Worth every penny, as were the other dishes we ordered. And don't miss out on their cocktail specials. I can sum up Coppa Esteria in one word: YUM!

The food was great. We were not seated at our reservation time and when we were seated it was at a table by the front door and the bar. I would have expected a better table with a reservation. The service was also excellent. It was extremely, extremely noisy.

Our food was excellent along with the outside patio. The service started out fine, then our server disappeared for longer and longer periods. When we finished, we told him we were finished and please bring our check. After several minutes, he reappeared and asked if we wanted coffee or dessert. This is not a big deal, but an example. He spent much longer at tables around us and did not seem to be rushed or stressed.

Service was poor, wasn’t greeted by a waiter until I said something and had been at the table for 12 minutes. Waiter was pretty much non existent the entire time and spent most of his time with other tables. The noise level was excruciating. Will not return, food was mediocre not a lot of choices in the menu.
