The food was delicious; the atmosphere was a bit "bustling" but that did not detract from the amazing cuisine. Would definitely return -- and bonus...a 20% discount coupon to shop at the downstairs market. Excellent experience.

My husband and I really enjoyed the tapas style food and cozy atmosphere at Coppa. Street parking requires a bit extra time when arriving so I’d plan for that if you’re driving. The burrata was probably close to the best I’ve had. The pizza and pasta did not disappoint. Service was attentive.
