Been around for ages!!! Great food and kind staff. Service is fair and ambiance is relaxing.

I don't know how an Italian eatery can pass this nastiness off as Chicken Marsala. There's no Marsala reduction at all! It's literally over salted chicken in a butter bath with some mushrooms. It went right in the trash. Absolutely inedible. The accompanying salad was browned on the edges. My hand torn salad from my fridge that was three days old was fresher. I won't be back. I'd give it 0 stars if I could. read more

Coppa 82 - Chicken in a butter bath being passed off as "Chicken Marsala." - Pizza Near Me - Downingtown, Pennsylvania

We decided to get take out from Coppa 82, we all ordered sandwiches. Everyone agreed the fries were just mediocre. The cheesesteak didn't have enough meat or cheese, some of it was just bread. The eggplant parm was OK--kind of bland. Their food was fine, but I remember maybe fifteen years ago when the food was amazing. I think there are better places to get sandwiches, but we didn't try the pasta read more

Great service and great food in this location family owned. It's cash only they even have an atm for you with no fee. Drinks and wine list are great to pair with fresh and tasty food. Bar and dining room are decorated nicely and make you feel welcome. read more

Different Cheesesteak #982 in the last 4 years. Guest Eater Amigo Dan. They had a good crowd for a Tuesday night so we may be the only people that don't like Coppa 82. We paid the $3.95 to get our cheesesteak on Garlic Bread. I thought that was steep but after my first bite I realized you are getting more than $3.95 worth of garlic! There was a good amount of meat but it was dry. Very little cheese and it was on the bottom. The garlic overpowered everything. read more

Dinner last night for 4. Excellent meals - salads, pasta, chicken x 2, pizza. Very good service, as well as the food. However, THE WORST Old Fashioned I have ever had, in 50 years of Old Fashioneds. It's on the menu as a special drink, even. So heavy handed with the bitters, it was like there was nothing else in the glass. Could not taste the bourbon, not a hint of sweetness. Bleghhh!! Retrain your bartender, or get a new one who knows what drinks should taste like. read more

Cool spot for sports but especially soccer games. Good classic Italian offerings and friendly staff.

CASH ONLY! 4.25/5 Try the Seafood Italiano (I get the white), homemade pasta and meatballs or sausages, peppers sausage and egg sandwich, there's some good stuff here. This place is a staple of the area. I'm not a huge fan of the pizza, it's basic in my opinion but some people love it. They used to have a 50% off happy hour which is great. Not sure if they still do that. One of the few places that serves Lambrusco read more

Coppa 82 - a tray of clams on a table - Pizza Near Me - Downingtown, Pennsylvania

Love the pizza! All the pasta is great. Been going for years and always leave with an empty plate.

This is our favorite Italian restaurant. The veal parmigiana is the best. We took our daughter, granddaughter and great granddaughter out for dinner when they came to visit. Our daughter had screpelle soup and a side of penne with Alfredosauce. Our granddaughter had spaghetti carbonara and the little one had a side of spaghetti with meat sauce. My husband and I had the Veal Parmigiana with a side of spaghetti. The Veal was cooked perfectly and their sauce is delicious. Everyone loved the food and we all had plenty take home for another meal. A delicious meal. read more

Horrendous how we were treated having dinner at 8:20!!The attitude and conty we had the nerve to come to dinner sooo late. Ill say the food was good.. but these lazy aholes lost customers + friends... good luck read more

Coppa 82 was our favorite spot for a great meal, great service, and friendly atmosphere. The last time we were there (right after New Year), we were seated in the back and forgotten. No problem, it happens since it was a busy night. After a long wait and asking the server if perhaps the kitchen forgot about us, we received our order of mussels in reddish sauce. The mussels were clean and cooked well but in a thin red sauce with no garlic. The hearty sauce with garlic had always been a highlight of this particular menu item. Two fresh salads finally arrived. A while after that, our ravioli with a side of meatballs arrived. Ravioli were okay (not as light as they have been in the past) but the meatballs were mushy. Sadly, they didn't taste homemade. We're so disappointed, but hopeful that this was an off night. We didn't recognize any of the familiar faces and thought perhaps Coppa 82 had changed hands. read more

Came here after the disaster at Thorndale Inn. Place was air conditioned, no musty smell, food was great and the drinks were reasonably priced. What a difference! We will be back! read more

2nd time eating at this restaurant. 3 wks ago, it was good. Ordered same thing yesterday, eggplant parm. You'd be hard pressed to find the eggplant in the breading. It was so micro-thin, you couldn't see it. I found some skin & you can see how non-existent it is next to the fork. Fork is also holding the breading open. See any? Huge portion, but I paid 20+ bucks for breadcrumbs with a side of spaghetti. I'd much rather have a smaller portion but with more eggplant. read more

WENT TO COPPA 82 With 7 friends, This place went to shit we had dinner tonight waitress spilt glass of red wine on my entire back n pants which splashed on my friend next to me who had white pants on which r now ruined n no one did anything. I wasn't mad about that I waitress I kno accidents happen but than manager guy came out because we asked for separate checks n that was a problem he did nothing to make things correct. Our floor was soaked with wine still n waitress ghosted us for another 20 minutes. Now an hour goes by n we just ordered so unprofessional. Than to top it off the waitress added 20 percent tip to our bills. R U KIDDING ME I usually tip 30 percent but after all that b s u get to determine what I leave u NOT OK get it together Coppa we r DONE food wasn't even good half assed n blahhhh u guys definitely went down hill! read more

Good Ol' fashioned Italian cooking at its Finest!! Traveling through Pennsylvania and decided to try this little place out on the recommendation of a friend. So glad that I did! The ambiance is great, relaxed and really feels homely, a real family environment. They have a nice sized bar and a quant little seating area on the other side of the restaurant. The only thing that was a slight take back for me is that it is cash only; however, the locals there seem to know that well and luckily gave me a heads up before I went. They have two ATMs here in case you do happen to forget to swing by the bank first. As for the food. Oh my gosh, it was absolutely wonderful!! You must order the mussels with white wine sauce. Perfectly cooked with a nice touch of garlic to really spice it up. There is also loads of sauce to dip your bread into when you have devoured all the mussels. They have a great mushroom pizza, really thin crust which is just the way I like it. Great depth of flavor in the toppings! Ask for some garlic bread as well, you won't regret it. The aroma of all the food coming out of the kitchen made it difficult to choose what to order, luckily, the manager/owner came to our table and provided us with her personal recommendations which was a great touch. She is wonderful and super friendly too! All in all I am so glad I came here and gave Coppa 82 a try, will definitely return when in Penn. again! So much food, I now have delicious leftovers for the next couple days I will surely enjoy : ) read more

Italian food is good as well as the service. Bring cash as they do not accept credit cards.

Yasssss!! Seriously, I've been waiting years for this place to reopen! My first trip back was great! Prices increased a bit, but who cares, it's as delicious as it ever was. I dined in with my parents who were disappointed with their first trip when they first reopened. My Mom had the veal parm sandwich, my Dad, a half order of the red mussels and I ordered a half of the white mussels with a house salad. Although I miss the salad bar (olive overload), I enjoyed my salad with the house dressing. I loved the mussels, Dad did as well. Mom loved her enormous sandwich, great leftovers. Those fries, I almost forgot how yummy they are! Both the red and white mussels are delicious. My one issue...is why are they now served with garlic knots?! I asked for the old rolls and I was charged. The knots didn't taste too fresh, and the juice is meant to be absorbed by those rolls instead! Don't mess with perfection Coppa. All in all, it was a great dinner! Welcome Back 82, I'm glad to see the famous pan survived the fire! read more

It reopened about a year ago after a fire that closed it for 3-4 years. It was my first time back and it was like time stood still. It looks the same except cleaner and no sad salad bar. The food was very good as always and the prices are a little higher. I have been going here since 82' . I had gnocchi and meatballs. Wife had a pepper and sausage sandwich and a beer. Total was $31. So ... good food and good prices. Service was fine. I'm glad they are back! read more

PROS: Pizza is good. CONS: Cash only, opens at 4pm (good luck getting food for the 1pm football game), closes on Monday's, they don't sauce pasta correctly, rolls are always stale, can't go when it's busy because quality goes down. There are plenty of other local Caln/Downingtown options with better food and are much more accommodating. We won't be going back. read more

Our visit this evening went great! Short wait, awesome food, excellent service. Emily was our server and she did a good job. She was busy but noticably made time for our table and we appreciated it. Our drinks and order were taken in a timely fashion and delivered promptly. As always, our portions we're huge and exactly what we were looking for. It's funny, I called my mom around 10:30 this morning and asked her if she wanted to do Coppa for dinner. The restaurant just has a great feel and atmosphere, it didn't even need to be dinner time for me to know that's where I wanted to eat. If you want to be surrounded by good food and awesome people, Coppa is the place to be! read more

Coppa had a fire a number of years ago and practically had to start from scratch. We live right down the road and always made sure to keep an eye out for any sign of re-opening. I happened to be home for spring break when Coppa did just that so I had to stop by. I always loved the eggplant parm and decided to order it once again. I'm glad it was as good as it was all those years ago. My father got the seafood italiano and reported it being absolutely delicious. I'm happy Coppa is open again and can't wait to keep stopping by whenever I want some good, authentic Italian. Highly recommend! read more

Brought my dad here for dinner one night to introduce him to the area. I got a pasta dish, and he got pizza. Both just really lacked flavor. My dad is one of those men that will eat anything, and he agreed there was just no flavor. Service was great, and the restaurant was nice and clean, just not impressed with the food. They are also cash only, and while they provide an ATM, I just am not a fan of cash only restaurants. read more

Wow. Just unremarkable pizza. I was a bit apprehensive about trying the food from here and I should've listened to my instincts. From now on I will stay with Lieoni pizza. I hate to write a badd review but unfortunately this dinner is horrible the pepperoni pizza is greasy the whole ball I miss completely group full of grease in the tops of the pepperoni are almost completely burned the cheese pizza has bubbles throughout every piece of it so it's hollow. read more

Back after many years, all the food just as we remembered.. awesome. Started with the mussels in red sauce. The sauce was great with dipping the fresh rolls. I had the pasta carbarnara, one of the best I have had for quite some time. Patti had the Pena with small shrimp in a blush sauce. She enjoyed that as well. My sister had the pasta with meat sauce, I tried it and it was very tasty. My brother-in-law had the penna witb broccoli rabe and garlic. This too was very good. The waitress was on top everything and was always available when needed. The only down side was the noise, but we really enjoyed the night out. Remember it's cash only, but ATM machines are available . Definitely worth a visit. We will be back read more

What happened to the old Coppa? Ordered a bunch of favorites and the chicken Alfred was extremely dry, not creamy at all. The chicken parm was hard as a rock with so much cheese that it was rubber. The meatballs and side salad were good hence the 2 stars. This used to be our favorite "birthday" celebration spot. Sorry the past is gone. read more

We Came Here ALOT - one of our favorite places to go but we havent been in awhile due to health issues. WE walked in Saturday and Emily & Dino Jr & Dino Sr made us feel like we never left and made us feel right at home. Drinks n Dinner n Service Were WAY BEYOND 5 STARS - THANK YOU ALL read more

Coppa never ceases to be good. We have been coming here for over 40 years and always exceptional. Cant figure out some of these less than good reviews. Tried the pasta pescatore and it was fantastic. Mussles were large and plump, clams perfect, and shrimp s well.The mussels marinara you cant be better no matter where you go. And the meatballs are the best anywhere bar none. read more

I would give a zero for food, but waitress was good. We hadn't been there in over a year. In the past we loved their mussels in buttery white wine garlic sauce & would dip bread in it, it was so good. This time, no buttery wine sauce- only tasted like VERY salty water. Then on top of that, we were served, what was suppose to be fried zucchini. No way I would have served that to a customer. Looked like it was frozen & thawed- water still on plate & very soggy. On top of that the manager needed an attitude adjustment. Guess she was tired of hearing complaints. But our server was good- not her fault they need a new cook! read more

Absolutely LOVE Coppa! Love their people, their pizza, and their eggplant parm! Dino cooks for my family every weekend! Never been disappointed! read more

Good food, generous portions and friendly staff. We visit here about once a month for dinner. They should tell you upfront about the cash only policy. Also, when the waitress spills a glass of red wine all over your pants, shirt and Allen Edmonds, I'd expect that glass to be on the house at the very least and probably the next one also... but nothing?!? Next time they will get my dry cleaning bill. (It also cost them one star) read more

I used to come to Coppa before the fire when I was a young kid, but now that they have reopened I thought it would be a good idea to try it out again. My mom, dad, and I came on a weeknight after work. We were seated right away and our waitress was very nice. 1 weird thing -- the seats near the stone walls were SO COLD! There was some sort of insulation issue near the windows, and it felt like you were sitting outside. We moved to a warmer table no problem, so all was okay then. The pasta I ordered was awesome! I got the lobster ravioli. Portion sizes were huge! I am so happy that Coppa is back to what it used to be, I will be back! read more

Big disappointment! The food was TOO SALTY and when we told the waitress she said " oh really " and then walked away. I had coffee with my meal and was never asked if I wanted more. Not to mention the cash only thing. There were no sign of that fact. We didn't find out till we tried to use our card. This is one place we won't be going back. read more

This was my first time here and it won't be my last!!!! What a fabulous restaurant. The food was the best. I had the Veal Parm with homemade spaghetti. Everything here is homemade and made to order. When I go to Italian restaurants I always order the Veal Parm. This was the BEST I've ever had!!!! Delicious!!! So much food we had to bring home leftovers. My daughter had the Shrimp Scampi with jumbo shrimp. We had house salad with blue cheese dressing and the salad was like a meal, big salad!!! We live in Downingtown and I can't believe it was our first time here. Our waitress Maggie was a doll. Very nice and told us all about the place. This is a place I would be willing to travel to get here. read more
