About this restaurant
- Neighborhood gem
- Good for special occasions
- Great for outdoor dining
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. For group or private dining for 7+ guests, please submit a private dining inquiry below.

This is delicious food. Be prepared, however, for it to come AT you. The bar service was slow: the aperitif arrived 10 minutes after the appetizers. A tablecloth accidental spill took us to get the manager to remedy the situation. We look forward to a return visit.
