Food and service were both very good. Better than I remembered from the old location. Salads were large and very tasty. The service was great despite a big holiday crowd. The new building is very nice.

Antonio was our server and he was excellent. We have had Antonio as our server before and he always provides excellent and quality service. We usually order the same Burgundy wine and was looking in the by the glass section and forgot to look in the bottle section and did not see it but he remembered the name of the wine for us. We love Coppa and it is our go to.

Outstanding server, Ben. Very knowledgeable, calm, attentive but not overbearing. Food was great. Pulpo was spectacular. Panacotta was too. Good price on wines. I am ready to return. Was there for late lunch which I would recommend.
