A word from Osteria Coppa

Inspired by the slow food movement of Italy, Osteria Coppa specializes in artisanal pasta and pizza while embracing a fresh, seasonal farm-to-table style. Handcrafted pasta and pizza, farm fresh toppings, artisan cheeses, savory house-made sauces, and house cured salumi reflect Executive Chef… Chanan Kamen’s profound passion for making his cuisine from scratch using traditional, old world techniques. Relax in a casual, urban setting in the heart of downtown San Mateo. Grab a seat at the bar, dine tableside indoors, join friends at the community table, or enjoy the sunshine outdoors on the festive “Coppa Cabana” patio!Continued

"Much more of a well-appointed cosmopolitan ambience with well-considered cuisine than the usual suburban fare, and in a good way, a very good way. First, I like to start my dinning experience with a smooth vodka Martini stright up--and I did which is not always a given when dining out My wife could not have enjoyed her beet salad more, in fact, I joked that they were lucky to get the plate back. My Caesar harkened back to first days of its creation with hints of anchovie. The Grilled Swordfish, Jerusalem Artichoke, Spinach, Baby Carrots was one of the tastiest sword fish preparations I can remember. And if you like ice cream -- and I do -- don't miss the Brown Sugar with Ginger Caramel Swirl.

The service was friendly and professional."

"There were 5 of us just getting together. The service was prompt but not pushy and teh wait staff were very knowlegable. The food was great. We would recommend this as a place where you should share various dishes as a way to experience many good dishes. We will definitely be back."

"Food was good, not great. We sat by the window where there is a low ceiling with no acoustic tiles. Together with the hardwood floors, that made for a very noisy environment."
