About this restaurant
- Neighbourhood 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.

Quite a perfect Birthday celebration! The focaccia bread with 3 different butter flavors was sinful but so delicious! And the wine pairing with our scrumptious entrees was a perfect match! All the dishes are carefully prepared and presented with pride by the chef. This is one of our most favorite restaurants. Highly recommend!

The simply grilled fish was outstanding. Thin crust pizza was also good. Great selection of wines. Will go back again. Salt & Pepper dispensers were missing.

We love this restaurant but we’re sat in a high traffic area by the kitchen. The tables are so close together that the staff have to turn sideways to get through. My purse was continually knocked off. Would love to go back and be seated in less traveled area.
