Coppi Ristorante

Tradition and Quality. My wife and I dined here with 5 of our friends. The owner, Alex, welcomed us like we were family. He took the time to provide recommendations and a thorough description into quality of their food.
This restaurant takes no shortcuts, everything from the quality of olive oil, to the explosiveness of the creamy decadent risotto, to the methods of freshness in their signature seafood dishes, are all effectively traditional and is evident with every bite.
Real foodies will understand and appreciate the quality of good service and food when they dine here. It is a lost art that Alex and his staff have not forgotten.

We used Open Table to book and it was seamless. Delighted to see valet parking on Yonge st as traffic was very heavy and parking would have been a challenge. Service was very attentive and food was good. Menu was a little limited. It would have been nice to have a few more pasta choices. Great atmosphere and tables were spaced to allow comfortable conversation. When we were finished our car was waiting out front for us with no waiting.

This is a late review, however This restaurant is absolutely fabulous. I planned and organized with the manager for a dinner of 18 people for New Year’s Eve. I was going away over Christmas so I needed to take care of it before I went away the manager was amazing to work with and the meal was exquisite! There was more than enough food and we weren’t charged the ridiculous prices that other restaurants try to get away with on New Years. Because we were a big group we had two tables at the back and the ambiance was great, they have unique lighting and art on the walls. At the end of the most amazing dinner, to top it all off my now finance proposed, and with the excitement the restaurant gave us all champagne for free to toast! This place will forever be in my heart and I hope to come back to celebrate our engagement every year! If I lived closer I would make it one of my go to restaurants.

We had not been back to Coppi in about ten years. Last time there they just had an «attitude.» Back then they served a dish that was advertised with pasta and substituted egg noodles. It was weird, and they said they ran out of pasta, and ”sorry.”
Now we returned. It has been renovated. Much more casual, no table cloths, but high prices.
My wife is lactose intolerant. The fish dish she wanted is served with mash potatoes, which of course are made with butter. She asked if they could substitute pasta, and was told she could only have vegetables. Pasta would be an extra charge. They had roasted potatoes, which were roasted in butter. They offered to steam some potatoes, but this would take time.
Frustration set in on both sides, so rather then try to put together a meal and negotiate through what they might do, we decided to leave.
Most higher end restaurants realize they have more and more customers with lactose, gluten and other issues, and go out of their way to accommodate and look forward to developing a loyal clientele. Not Coppi.

Coppi has been around in the neighbourhood for many years and has not had the following of some other restaurants but it has changed the décor recently and is casita but comfortable and not noisy.

Service is obviously not one of their strengths. The older 2 waiters are such useless pylons. They take your order and the minute you say no to wine, their faces turn into sour hags. Not once did they come over to ask how my food was. Nor did they offer another drink when I was out. The younger bus boy/​girl were working their asses off while these 2 old geezers stand around and do nothing. We finished our meal and the plates sat there for 15 mins before they were taken away for our deserts. Seriously…

We had New Year’s Eve dinner for 20 people at Coppi. The service here is amazing! We dealt with Alex, who did everything he could to make sure things were well organized and that all of our needs were accommodated. The food was incredible! I had the salmon and it was moist and delicious. Our friends all had good things to say about the meal as well. The atmosphere at Coppi is awesome too! We will definitely be back.

Bad experience. Service was bad. Food was tasteless. Waitress was bad with attitude. Ended up spoke with the manager about it.

Very nice place. Great wines. Excellent service, knowlageble staff. Valet parking if u like. Superb food! Pricey but u deffinatly get what you paid for.

I don’t know why Coppi has a 3 star review ??! They simply are 5 STARS! We set up online reservations they call on the day of to reconfirm (which is great because its a reminder some people need).
From what I understand Coppi has a background in cycling? It’s quite evident in the décor and menu’s.
My boyfriend stayed with the regular menu because he didn’t eat all day; I however stayed with the Summerlicious menu.
For myself; I had the summerlicious
— strawberry and arugula salad
— monkfish on polenta w/​rapini
— tiramisu
Lets just say I’ll be for sure coming back to coppi for the regular menu. The salad was absolutely delicious burst of flavors and the pecorino cheese was just a nice touch!
It was my first time having monkfish and I was so nervous but the server said its like the texture of lobster. Paired with the polenta and rapini; oh my goodness lets say I wish I didn’t get the summerlicious portion. I kept wanting more!
The tiramisu was absolutely delightful. I ideally look for tiramisu’s like this because its light and fluffy not overbearingly drenched with alcohol.
My boyfriend had:
— octopus carpaccio– which he loved and said it complimented with the arugula and fresh peas
— oven baked orata– he was over the moon because its EXACTLY how his mother makes it which is a (Sardenian tradition)
A bit pricy to say the least but well worth it!

Ate here with a group of friends on a weeknight. The place was not busy; we were the only guests in the entire restaurant for the first hour or so & we were there around dinner time (7pm). Went here upon reading good reviews; however we were not impressed. The food was ok; price was expensive for the type of food that they offer. We ordered sea brim fish baked in sea salt which was their special for the day & a bruschetta appetizer. The rest of our party ordered pasta and/​or fish dishes. Our server was annoying & kept asking several times if we would like to order a bottle of wine, despite the fact that we made it very clear that we are not ordering any. For the quality of food & service that they offer, we will not be back.

I wanted to like Coppi as ambience was so romantic. But truth of the matter is that this is just another average italian ristorante. Foods looked like they could be from upscale restaurant but they didnt taste like they were from upscale restaurant. Our pastas were a bit weird as they didn’t taste like they had all the nice ingredients they were supposedly in the foods. Appetizers were good but they didn’t need much cooking as they were just prociuttos and carpaccio.

Ate here on a recommendation from a friend. Turned out it was pretty good. A little «spendy» but the food was good and the atmosphere and service were great. A good wine selection and some delicious cocktails as well.

Just returned home from a terrible experience at Coppi. From the moment we entered, service was terrible. There wasn’t a host/​hostess and only other person in the room was a waiter, he did not even acknowledge us. We sat down at our table 20min after our reservation. Even worse, we did not get our menus until 20 min later. After waiting 30 min, our order was finally taken. Our waiter was unapologetic and rude about the wait. They did offer a small appetizer to make up for the wait. The food was cold and tasteless. The only thing I enjoyed was the wine. I will not be returning.

I have only eaten at Coppi once. An excellent high end menu with great wine selection. Some very unusual menu selections that are wonderful on special occasions if you want surprize. Great for the upper end crowd with valet parking, but I prefer the more local homy neighbourhood restaurants.
