I went to Coppi restaurant for Summerlicious 2025. They charged me 20% for service fee! They charged 13% on liquor (that is correct). However, they charge me 15.95% HST on food. HST is 13%. Are they going to pay 15.95% to the government or are they going to pocket 2.95% difference. Is this another way to hike the price of the food? read more

Coppi Ristorante - Receipt - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Update: On April 2, I ordered takeout to surprise my partner's 10 year anniversary to coming to Canada. We've been meaning to come back but due to work schedules never coinciding to when Coppi's open, take out was our only choice. I emailed Alex, the owner, and ordered the following: x1 Gnudi Al Pomodoro x2 Risotto di Mare x1 Frito Misto x1 carpaccio x1 Salad This was all done same day and was ready to be picked up by 7PM. Since my partner didn't finish work until 1:00am, so there were some hesitation on the quality of freshness but I needn't not to worry. I just kept some of the dishes in a heated over until then and the food tasted just like it was straight from the kitchen. Coppi was great in 2020 but it was even sublime in 2022. I can't wait to come back! read more

July, 2023 we were a party Of 4. We split 2 appetizers and enjoyed four main dishes and 2 bottles of wine. Lovely wine list with options at multiple price points. We had a $35 Argentina Pinot Grigio and a $65 Oregon Pinot Noir. We had 4 different main courses. A veal dish, a risotto with seafood, a pasta special with boar and a seafood pasta. All were generous servings and very tasty. Service was efficient and as friendly as we wanted. This is the class of place that serves all the dishes at the same time - and all were hot. A lovely week night dinner with friends. Take someone or be a guest you will not be disappointed. Caution: Tip is added automatically at 18%. read more

I ordered the Risotto di Mare and the rice was under cooked - not al dente, but the grittiness when it's not cooked enough. I was asked if I'd like some bread and olive oil dip while I was waiting for my entree and said yes; they didn't tell me that it would be $6 and I've been to so many restaurants where they'd bring that out for free. They don't tell you upfront that they add an 18% service charge to the bill. It says at the bottom of your bill "Coppi is no longer accepting gratuities In order to provide a Living Wage to all our staff, we are now adding a 18% Hospitality Charge to all cheques". So, they haven't raised salary levels to "provide a Living Wage", you're still paying a tip but they've decided how much you'll tip for you. read more

Their signature dish, the pesce al sale ($43), takes a whole fish and bakes it encrusted in salt. Wheeled out still in the salty tomb, the fish is quickly filleted and dressed in a light lemon butter sauce. While the dish looks huge, after fileting the meat what's leftover is smaller than you'd expect, but nonetheless sufficient as a main for one. The sea bass was remarkably moist and tender with such a clean taste that even someone who doesn't like fish could be converted. The risotto frutti di mare ($44) serves two, but with a few appetizers this could be stretched for three people (pictured below is a single portion). Dotted throughout the risotto were bits of clams, shrimp, squid, octopus and bay scallops all evenly disbursed so each bite had a couple of seafood items and helped to thoroughly scent the rice. Tuck in as soon as it arrives as it's a lovely consistency but a tad more cooked than normal; should be it left longer, it may become too soft. Coppi offers a variety of appetizers but truthfully the choices are rather safe and nothing seemed overly exciting. Their Caesar salad ($15) is heavy on the anchovy and light on garlic, making the flavours subtler and ideal for those who want a lighter tasting version of the salad. The burrate caprese ($19) is simple combination of quality ingredients: a decent portion of burrata mozzarella, grape tomatoes, and rich and bright olive oil that went especially well with the warm heavily salted baguette. Personally, I rather have an appetizer portion of pasta instead. The pappardelle in the mare d monte ($18) arrives as silky slightly chewy ribbons and the sauce a light combination of shrimp, mushrooms, and tomato. It's a great blend of sweet seafood, earthy fungi, and just a hint of something fresh. The spaghetti used in the chitarra tirreno ($26 for a main portion) is interestingly square-shaped and could be a tad more al dante. Regardless, the san Marzano tomato sauce mixed with all the seafood tastes wonderful and is that lighted umami-laced tomato sauce I love with seafood pasta. read more

Great service - amazing food! Truffle risotto was a my absolute favourite- cooked perfectly. It's one of the best truffle risottos I've had!! Literally dreaming about it as I write this review. We also had fresh burrata and their bread - which were both delicious. They have a limited wine list - we tried one that the owner recommended which was a perfect pairing with our food. This was my second time here and I will continue to keep coming back until I've tried all their dishes. Highly recommended! read more

I ordered take-out from Coppi and when I arrived to pick up my dinner, my total bill was $12 more than I was expecting. When I questioned the amount of my bill, I was told that an 18% service charge was added to it...the owner of the restaurant then asked me "if I was okay with that or not"? I told him that I wasn't okay with paying a mandatory gratuity of 18% on a take-out order when I didn't receive any service and that I have never been charged a gratuity anywhere before for a take-out order. He then very rudely told me to leave his restaurant and said that "he doesn't want or need customers like me"! It was a horrible experience and I was completely insulted! read more

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 decor 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! read more

this place been around for 25 years, and I can't believe I've only know about it now. Attracted by summerlicious, after looking around the restaurant to only realize most people come for the regular menu, for all the right reason. They are generous with their portions and seasoning. Between the both of us, we would come back for all our appetizers, mains and desserts. I had the marinated seafood salad with chickpeas, and that would be belly happy for a small eater. The lamb chop was done well. Very flavorful, with delicious long beans for sides. This dish is also on the regular menu. The one that caught my eye on the regular menu is the Risotto for 2. They would Bring it over is a cheese wheel, to toss and coat in from of you prior to serving. Not sure how the tasting go, but it's definitely eye candy. already planning a return trip for this dish. read more

Probably the best Italian one could go for I brought a friend for dinner and we were simply floored by the quality of the food, the premium customizable service, even in these dire times when other locals would cut corners to make by. Not Coppi. Beef Carpaccio is simply amazing here, and we were told it is cured in-house - it was the right amount of smoothness and sweetness, dry, lean and yet juicy. It comes paired with shaved slices of parmigiano reggiano, and we found this cheese extremely fresh compared to other establishments. We ordered fritto misto, fried seafood, and it came battered just right, and not over not under-cooked. We have tried seafood risotto and we were pleasantly surprised with the amount of meat. May pasta dishes here follow receipts from scratch, we went for Mare e Monte, Tirreno and Gnudi to go. Nothing disappointed us. We paired these with a famous Rosso Piceno called Brecciarolo, which we found extremely balanced and flavored to our taste. Dessert wise - the tiramisu is unbelievable, tender, juicy, powdered up. And pana cotta was another good choice. This was in early October when Coppi was open for indoor dining. We wanted to come back to try a famous dish - Pesce al Sale. Following the covid regulations and moving to a modified Stage 2 in mid-October 2020 in Toronto, we had to have it as a take-out. I must say that the orata was cooked just right, and given that is was in the oven, buried in a mountain of coarse salt -this makes it even harder to get the right timing. However, the Chef at Coppi did it just right. I researched that there is another place in California doing it the same, but Coppi is closer, isn't it. And most likely cheaper. They changed a few things on the menu, and I cannot wait to get back to Coppi. I have seen patrons talking about the place with great familiarity, telling that they are repeat customers for years and years, and still dining or ordering here during the pandemic - I find this is quite telling, for an establishment navigating the murky waters of Covid world that we all live in now. When we ordered our take out, we saw a line-up of cars outside waiting for their order pick-ups and that reassured us that our feedback is shared by so many others. Recommended: fritto misto, beef carpaccio, any type of risotto, and any seafood pasta dish (Tirreno is my favorite). Go for the orata - the pesce al sale, you won't be disappointed. read more

My fiancée and I came here for Summerlicious. I came because I saw Grouper as one of the options on the menu. Upon arrival, they cannot find my reservations, but they sat us down. The fish option on the menu was halibut. I wasn't too pleased as I came for the Grouper. What they should have done is put daily fish on the menu because as a fish lover, each fish have different taste and texture. Anyways, not sure if I want to come back again. read more

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. read more

Dined here during Summerlicious 2016. Everything was delicious! The sea bream firsh - amazing, nice and flaky. The appetizers yummy, light and fresh. The tiramisu, as it should be, creamy, fluffy and sweet. The decor is romantic, dim lighting, but also modern. This was our first time here, but we would gladly come back again soon. read more

Coppi Ristorante - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I can't speak for others but my experience at Coppi has been exceptional. The food was authentically Italian and you can tell they place a lot of pride in what they serve from the premium olive oil that's used for dipping into bread to the selection of Italian wines that they offer on the menu. I came with a big group for a friend's birthday and we were not disappointed with any of the dishes that were ordered. The Calamari & Gamberoni alla Griglia was delicious, the grilled squid and shrimp was surprisingly tender. The Risoo con Porcini was a mushroom risotto mixed in a big parmigiano reggiano cheese wheel and the flavour, texture and aroma that came out of that was incredible and mouth-watering. The most interesting dish was by far the Pesce al Sale which is a choice of whole red snapper, orata or spigola and it's baked in sea salt to trap the moisture inside the fish and keeps it flavourful. All and all, it was an impressive fare and we all ended the night blissfully full and happy. Last but not least, service was impeccable, friendly and very knowledgeable. read more

Sure wish there was a half star option as I would have given Coppi a 3.5. The reason for the reduction in stars was honestly, because of the price. We hadn't been to Coppi in quite a long time and it happened to be Winterlicious when we dined at Coppi a few days ago. However, all four in our party ordered off the regular, a la carte menu. The men had the soup of the day, the ladies each had a salad. Our $43 entrees consisted of 2 spigele fish baked in salt and 2 orata fish baked in salt. (In case you didn't catch this, that was 4 x $43!!!!) We also order an extra order of potatoes and one glass of red wine along with one dessert and 4 coffees. Don't get me wrong, the service was good and the food quite yummy but $400 with tax and tip??????????????? My $13 salad was (honest to goodness) made up of 10 mixed lettuce leaves and dressing. Nothing further. The side of $8 potatoes was (I truly counted) 8 very small wedges. The fish, after removing the salt and bones, very small but sufficient portions. For $200 per couple, we could have eaten downtown where the ambiance was much nicer. The last time we dined at Coppi, it was much classier and upscale. Perhaps it would be best to keep the prices in line with the ambiance? read more

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. read more

I went to this restaurant for winterlicious 2017. The atmosphere was great and server was great. The owner greeted us as we left the door. Food wise, I had an arugula salad with fig which was very delicious. Main course was the seafood soup (zuppa) that tasted really fresh and flavourful. Dessert was tiramisu (very moist )that cannot be missed. Great restaurant and I do recommend this. read more

First time here at the recommendation of a family friend. Italian beer on tap was solid Appetizer: seasonal salad with sliced octopus, arugula, orange slices, and grapefruit slices ($15). Was pretty delicious. The fruit tasted great mixed with the octopus and greens. Main: house special of salt baked fish ($39). They had sea bream, sea bass, and red snapper. I had the red snapper. Basically the entire fish is encrusted in a THICK layer of salt and baked. The salt keeps all of the moisture inside while it cooks. Once done, the dish is wheeled out to your table where the salt crust is chipped away, and the remaining salt brushed off the fish. Then it is skinned and de-boned. The fish filets are then presented on your plate. Fish was amazingly well cooked. I might have preferred a bit more seasoning, but the lemon infused olive oil they add is great. Mains around $30-$45. Thought it was very fairly priced I like the interior, decor, and vibe quite a bit. A nice place but not too fancy. Laid back with nice lighting and a good volume read more

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. Your review helps others learn about great local businesses.

Truly one of the worst dining experiences we have ever encountered. Our family of six, my husband, myself, my parents and two children dined at this restaurant this past Saturday night. The owner was our waiter and server. Extraordinarily obnoxious and hyper from the beginning to the end. He made an issue about each person's order. When I asked to change the pear salad 'leaf' to any other lettuce aside from radicchio, I was answered with "we don't like to change items because it upsets the "integrity of the kitchen"and the "flow of the restaurant for everyone dining". Four adults found their food mediocre at best. However the difficult owner/waiter entirely ruined the vibe and feeling of the evening with his pompous arrogant attitude and demanding nature. The worst part of the dinner occurred while ordering for my two children. The owner/server absolutely refused to add shrimp to the children's requests for "pasta with butter" and insisted upon charging them each separate pastas and separate grilled shrimp entrée. Let me be clear. Two small plates of spaghetti and butter were $21 each and six shrimp were an additional $32. He of course never stated what the price would be-only that he would be separating the shrimp from the pasta and insisted upon this- again, the integrity of the kitchen. When I did question him about the price he said about 25 each. Let me be clear, two children age 10 and 11 ate pasta and butter with a side of 3 shrimp each for a total price of $74 plus tax plus tip. The owner/server argued incessantly when we politely asked him to re-look at the price of the children's meals, reminding him that he refused to add the shrimp to their pastas and did not inform us of the charges that would be separate and exorbitant. Although he agreed that he did not properly inform us of the prices, he refused to adjust the bill. He let us know we don't have to dine here again and we let him know we would be placing a review. I also let him know that he was not demonstrating the "integrity" that he kept talking about in regards to his kitchen. We had dined there many times before and will never enter the doors of that restaurant again. I am writing this review for others to beware. read more

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. read more

We were 8 people dining and the place was very pretty. The food was another issue. We ordered numerous bottles of wine and the appetizers were over priced, $15 for minestrone soup, $17 for ceaser salad is ridiculous. All the choices were overpriced. That issue was not the real problem, the food came cold. The owner told us to be patient when we sat down which wasn't a problem since we were there for the evening. Veal chop, lamb rack, lamb shank, and 2 lamb pasta dishes came cold,not a hint of warmth. Other 3 people had fish which was good but vegetables were all cold. We sent back the rack of lamb, and the 2 pasta dishes and they seemed annoyed and not apologetic, LIKE IT WAS OUR FAULT. The cold veal chop was not sent back because it would have come overdone yet they didn't offer to make another. I suggested it but my husband left it and ate it cold. Other food was returned with a hint of warmth and when asked for cheese on the pasta dish the owner came and gave me some and didn't even ask my friend eating the other dish. I called him over and he was annoyed and told her it wasn't necessary. Who says it's not needed if the customer wants it. Prices were high and service was slow. Cooking was not timed properly and restaurant had patrons but no lineup at the door to cause stress. They need a lot of fixing in their service and cooking. BTW, all desert was $13, everyone found steep for desert. This place needs help! read more

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. read more

A pleasant surprise! My family was intending to eat at a pub close by but there was a line up. My father said he felt like Italian so we thought we'd give Coppi try. So glad we did!!

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. read more

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. read more

All over great experience every time. The servers aren't kissing your ass all the time witch is nice because they allow you to enjoy and not run out of there.

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!

Wonderful restaurant! My boy and I just walked in (didn't get valet parking or anything), just wanting to try another place for a change-- lucky find! If you like (somewhat pricey) Italian restaurants, this place is well worth the investment. And frankly it wasn't that pricey-- if you want the $500 wine you can have it here (not that we did-- haha!), but they also have great selections under $30 and by the glass or carafe-- no one looked down on us for getting a half litre of Cabernet (don't remember what it was-- waiter recommended), which was great! Really, quite lovely! EXCELLENT bread-- I asked about it (I have become a bit of a bread snob lately, since I've learned to make my own), and apparently it is from Rustic bakery-- they toast and add a high quality olive oil and rosemary-- some of the best I've had from a resto, honest! The food was great (small portions, but which is fine for light eaters)-- we had the soup with a salad (for me), and the grouper fish-- very happy with this. Very, very friendly service, absolutely no attitude. We showed up really underdressed but felt right at home. Before we left, we were given a fancily-wrapped Panatone (Christmas cake), treated like we were regulars, even though it was our first time. SO, I would have to say, all considered, this place is well worth a visit and I will certainly be back! Cheers marianne read more

We often dine at Coppi because the food has fresh ingredients, is tasty and " authentic" Italian. One can always tell about how fresh ingredients are at restaurants by the bread they serve. At Coppi It begins with the bruschetta that has amazing olive oil, rosemary and salt...simple with lots of flavour. My parents are fussy when it comes to Italian cooking, and Coppi makes the mark. We've tried many items on the menu and loved them. Next is the service...they are always friendly,on time and great with suggestions. I have also celebrated special occasions with family and friends knowing that my guests would come away loving the experience...and they have! S.T. read more

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... read more

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

Very disappointing! Took over an hour to bring the food out and the excuse we were told is: its standard to wait 45 minutes for the food - it takes them that long to serve and they don't like to rush. Would not go there again. Attitude from the management was arrogant. read more
