got the cheese ravioli with sausage! the broccolini was very chewy and not cooked enough, and the taste was insanely bitter and left a horrible taste in my mouth. the ravioli was store bought and done in an unseasoned butter sauce. no salt or garlic or any seasoning to be tasted, only pepper from when the server cracked some upon service. the lardons included in the dish were not crispy and i had many pieces of blubbery fat which turned me away from the taste the server was so kind and cared for my table, but i would not reccomend the food

Our server Pete was amazing! The best service I have had at a restaurant in a long time. Food was really good. Caesar salad that came with my pasta was good. Pasta was very good. Service was 5 star above and beyond. Kudos to Pete!

We had dinner at Coppola's tonight and it was amazing! The food was great but the service was even better!! Emily was our bartender/server and she was amazing. My husband and I have been in the industry for 20+ years and to find someone so skilled and professional at her age is a rare find. We would have returned anyway. But, now we will ask to sit at the bar every time. Thank you Emily

Coppola’s is often a restaurant we go to for special occasions. The price of the food is reflected and valued well with what you get. The taste of the food is superb and the service feels like upscale dinning. The servers and staff treat us very well. To continue that upscale dinning experience… I just wanted to make one comment about the atmosphere. It’s a tad disheartening that there isn’t a formal requirement. Seeing guests wear zip up sweaters and grown men wearing sweatpants. It takes away a tad from the experience. Maybe it’s a tad old school thinking but I think having some sort of standard would help with the atmosphere. Booklet menus as well. I appreciate everything that goes on behind running a wonderful restaurant like this in our community. Thank-you for all that you do. My family will continue to go to Coppola’s for some authentic Italian food.

The near perfect Italian experience in St. Catharines. It's a huge restaurant with delicious gluten-free options and lots of pastas, lasagnes and pizzas. We had a large 12-person dinner here and everyone was able to find something they could enjoy. There's lots of parking available on site. I did have a few questions about the "Crown Royal" throne chair located in the bathroom though...

The service was exceptional and the food was okay but the Caesar salad wasn't representative of an actual caesar in any way besides the romaine. The bruschetta lacked seasoning but the pasta was fresh and tasty. I will probably return because I want to try other dishes.

Attended in the past for a corporate holiday event. Returned for a private function and did not disappoint. Service was top notch, always hustling asking if we needed anything, clearing table. The meatballs are AMAZING! and all the food fresh, tasty and top quality. I always forget there is dining and event space, returning with a friend this week. Great job!

Dont get anything seafood. They dont know how to time it with other dishes that take longer to cook so it sits there getting cold while other meals are being made . Thankfully they are fine with refunds on bad food. Go to Rizzos instead for pasta. 100x better for only slightly more

Fabulous, fabulous and more fabulous. We moved to St. Catharines from Toronto three years ago and had basically given up on a nice local restaurant date until last night. What a wonderful dinner was served to us at Coppola s. Every one of our party thought the food to be absolutely delicious. Finally, far fewer treks to Oakville and Toronto.

Recently dined here and had a fantastic dinner. We had the veal chop, linguini surf and turf , lasagna, garlic bread and the antipasto. The food was excellent, well proportioned and served hot. Our server was very attentive , we had comfortable seating with low lighting and a little lamp on our table. Nice atmosphere. Lots of food choices and an extensive wine list. Everyone we came into contact with was welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend both dining here and the need for reservations. Parking: Large parking lot with additional overflow parking around the side of the building. The main large lot is paved, the overflow is gravel.

Coppolas is amazing! Each time I ve gone the food is always amazing. I had a small wedding in August and had my reception dinner at Coppolas. They were very accommodating, set up our own private section in the back of the store, the servers were very friendly and all of our food arrived very quickly and was delicious! So thankful they helped make our big day special and I cannot recommend them enough.

If you want to eat amazing food, with great atmosphere(a little odd, but fun) and our server Peter(hilarious, attentive, professional, but not stuffy) made it memorable and we will be back for the pizza, the penne and the short rib papardelle. Highly recommend.

Went for an impromptu date night and couldn t have been happier with everything! Started with a Caesar (drink). I don t usually love them at restaurants as my husband makes a killer one but it was excellent. Shared the carpaccio appetizer and it was possibly the best carpaccio we ve ever had. My only complaint is there were SO many amazing sounding dishes on the menu that it was hard to pick. I had gnocchi and hubby had a linguine dish. They were both excellent, and we both brought home half of our meals. They both come with unlimited salad (I had the Caesar and it was delicious). So great that I made reservations on the way out to come back for my birthday in a couple weeks

September 23, 2024

Waited over an hour and a half for main courses. Arrived at restaurant at 6:30 pm and main courses served at 8:10 pm No updating or apologies along the way. No complimentary wine. Just thoughtless.

After years of waiting for tables at Antica in Niagara for decent Italian food, we found Coppolas randomly one year. Ever since then, theyve become our go to spot. We have not had a bad experience whether visiting in a group or a couple. Weve tried multiple dishes and everytime weve been super happy with the food. Their pasta, aside from the tortenilli, is all homemade and made so well. It doesnt sit heavy. The tortellini with sausage and rapini is my favourite dish. Their Ceasar salad is my favourite anywhere. Its fresh, not drowning in thick ceasar dressing and has so much flavour for a salad. Their calamari is fantastic as well. We always end our visits with their tiramisu which is also very good. The service has never been less than good and is often great. Our last visit was on Sunday and our server was welcoming, funny and personable. We always leave talking about what we want to try next time. Cant wait to be back!

We had dinner there last night and I was a bit disappointed in the meal. The service and atmosphere was good but the meal was way over priced. The veal was two small pieces placed on the plate to look like a bigger piece. The penne pasta was about 17 noodles on my plate with a few roasted vegetables. I wish I had taken a picture. This was $39.00. Totally overpriced. Very disappointed in the meal but everything else was great.

The store was very considerate. When I ordered pasta, they reminded me that I didn t need to order more salad, but I expressed that I wanted to eat more salad, and the store was happy to provide me with more salad. The salad is very fresh, especially the small tomatoes in it, which are obviously carefully selected by the store, and are very fresh and sweet. The bread is also very fresh. The only downside was that the salad was a little on the salty side, even though I asked for a smaller amount of dressing the second time. The restaurant has an elegant environment, attentive service, most of the guests are formally dressed, and the overall dining experience is very pleasant. Although the meal took a little longer, it can be understood that the chef is carefully preparing each dish. (I just saw that the general meal time is 1.5-3 hours )

Asked for veal parmesan with light sauce and penne. Served bathing in tomato sauce and over cooked ( black crisp and dry) a handful of pasta soaked in tomato sauce. For the high price they charged it is not worth it. This restaurant is over rated and wont be returning to this restaurant.

June 1st visit It was a sweltering hot day and we had come back to town to celebrate my high-school reunion and 51st birthday. We hadnt eaten at the event , it was at 3 pm to 7 , and wed over dressed for the weather. Hotel in Thorold offered nothing appealing . But I was home and was craving AUTHENTIC Home made Italian Cuisine! A light bulb , call Coppolas. Wed changed into concert tees and ripped skinny jeans and shorts by this time so we more than happy when the hostess said we could find room for the 2 of us at the bar. Gosh we would have grabbed takeout ! We got there and instead welcomed like family and ushered to a table ! The staff were all so kind and we felt very comfortable regardless of our lack of proper dinner attire . And thank you for the superb non -alcoholic daiquiri! The meal was excellent as per my previous experiences and we couldnt have left fuller. Thank you You are the Gem in Niagara .

We had our wedding reception here 2 years ago, and our friends and family still talk about it. Communication before the event was very responsive and Gerry worked with us to plan an event we would look back on fondly. On the night of our reception: staff service was incredible, food was delicious with generous portions, and Coppolas collaborated with our vendors incredibly. We would highly recommend this venue for a wedding reception (not to mention the lovely restaurant we return to now each year for our anniversary).

We made reservations for a table of 13. I understand the service needs to be efficient with a large group but our server was unbelievably rude. He was pushy, annoyed with questions, short, interrupted and didnt wait for people to finish talking, condescending and very rude, he was trying to take plates off the table while people were eating and also brough over tale out containers mid-meal We all felt like we were bothering him by being there. I would suggest that if you have a server who is rude to people, (which you shouldnt) dont put him at a table of 13. This server pretty much took all the joy out of our night and ruined it. This was for a reunion of elderly family members who flew across the country to be here. It was very unfortunate. Dinner was good. Service was efficient but horrid. Dessert was overpriced and made from frozen. I wouldnt waste the money on dessert. Better creme brulee from all you can eat sushi and omg lava cake was on par with the one you would get from dominoes pizza. Cheesecake looked ok. The service was very unfortunate. But there wss one girl who came to the table with pepper, she was amazing and she took a picture of our family. Wish she had of been our server.

Went for dinner sister in laws 60 th birthday. There was 11 of us, very nice ambiance, and we had a area in the back with a nice fireplace. Our waiter, Pete, was super friendly, Unfortunately, when the food arrived, my stuffed chicken, had nothing inside of it, I was like told it would be 30 minutes for another piece, and I didnt want to eat alone, so I tried eating it, but it was soo dry. I had a few bites of mashed potatoes and a couple carrots. I was thinking they would at least comp something off our bill, since my meal was basically untouched. Disappointed..for sure. The pasta looked good though, probably wont return. 35$ a little pricey for potatoes, Lol.

We come here for family dinner quite often. Stuffed portabello mushrooms are awesome and I usually get the Tortellini Pavarotti, which is delicious. My father usually always gets the lamb rack, which Im told is very good. Ive never had a bad meal at this place in 20years. They have delicious desserts too. I personally like the creme brulee and the conolli. The lava cake is good too, very chocolately and rich. Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free pasta and many vegetarian options

December 23, 2023

Man who welcomed us into the restaurant was arrogant and made us feel unwelcome, Food was average at best, and this was by far the worst service Ive ever encountered. Middle aged darked haired server, she was so abrasive and ignorant. We have never felt so uncomfortable dining out. Pass me the fork! She demanded at the end when she cleared our table. We have both worked in the past for years in the hospitality industry, and this was by far the worst experience we have encountered. Dont waste your time with this overrated slop. Overpriced and underwhelming is an understatement. You would be better off going to a fast good place. At least the service is better

The service was good however one of the servers had looks that showed we were inconveniencing her. The blueberry cheesecake was delicious. I wish I could have had Earl Grey tea instead of regular tea Vegetarian options: I cannot eat peppers which the vegetable dish was loaded with. I would prefer more carrots,green beans or broccoli or celery or brussel sprouts. Also not a fan of zucchini which has so little taste.

St. Catharines Ontario, is one of the most fortunate areas in the Niagara region to have Coppola Ristorante, an authentic Italian restaurant, in this charming Town. My sister and I visited St Catharines during the first week in June 2023. Following an iffy start to our weekend break, we went to Coppola for an early dinner. The restaurant is unassuming and a fabulous find. Superb Italian food with fresh high quality ingredients, presentation, service and attentiveness. We were prepared to order everything on the menu and the daily specials after Patty, our waitress described and answered all our questions. Thank you Patty for suggesting virgin Caesars for my sister and I as we don t drink. The salads, bruschetta, eggplant parm, pasta dishes and crème brûlée were mouth-watering delicious. You don t leave hungry! The entire staff was the best staff we have seen in a very long time. They made us feel like family. This was our first time having visited St Catharines and Coppola Italian restaurant and it certainly won t be the last. They did not disappoint. Luigi, excellent job in selecting, training and mentoring all members of your team. This is what sincere and warm hospitality ought to be, coupled with authentic Italian food. You and your entire team have shown us that. Having owned an Italian and French restaurant myself, I know a good thing when I see it. Keep up the excellent work. Luigi and your entire team, Grazie Mille.

Don t go unless you have a reservation. The place was dead, and they have a whole banquet where customers were seated. They should mention this online, and shape up the attitude. When we left, all of a sudden they had a canceled reservation. Most likely won t go back, but thanks anyway.

Great food, honestly the best tmin the area. Been coming for almost 10yrs now. But since covid the servers are extremely rude. Ruined my entire anniversary dinner right at the end when the server felt the need to stop my husband and ask for more tip after we tipped 15%. I wish I could afford more but Ive never ever in my life had a server do that. Completely ruined my entire evening and that was Friday and Im still thinking about it today and its Tuesday. The mature Im assuming Italian women serving in the small section when you walk in, you are rude and should get a different job if you feel the need to come up to your guests. Did you expect him to give you more after that? Shame on you also seeing now that some people get desert on the house for anniversary? Not that I needed it but where is the consistency?

Second time visiting. Had the soup of the day Roasted Pepper and Eggplant. Delicious. Decided to order the Spaghetti Pescatori for my main course. When it arrived I knew already it was not going to be what I expected. The pasta was not spaghetti, it was more of a thicker noodle. It was very dry and stuck together. The fish was on the sides and at the bottom of the dish so I had to dig through the pasta to find small calamari. A few clams and mussels. The sauce was decent but not enough for the amount of pasta that was in the dish. I had two twirls of pasta and couldn t do it. Left it in the dish and ate the seafood which I know was cooked from frozen. When the server came she asked if I wanted a to go container I said no. Right there she should of asked if there was a reason I didn t make a dent in it. But she didn t. We were a party of 20 I know it s a lot of people. Most of our party had mentioned the sauce was dark and not juicy enough. Very thick like the food is sitting under a heat lamp. I know this because I ve worked in many restaurants in my youth. Personally for $39 for a plate of pasta for 10 Pierces of frozen shellfish it s a bit excessive. Atmosphere is ok. Service was good. Salad is good. Won t be there on our own accord only if it s a set date for a celebration of sorts.

Went here for birthday dinner with the family for my wife. The food , service, and overall experience are a well-deserved 6 out of 5. Our server Cindy made the experience wonderful. We told her we were not in a rush and she paced the food perfectly. So many times weve had the experience at other restaurants where we ask not be rushed and than then get rushed out anyway. The place was busy, a couple of big parties were there at the same time, and the food still came out great, and Cindy managed to check on us regularly. The owner came out to check on us and threw in free birthday desert for my wife, which we would have been perfectly happy to pay for. This was just a cherry on top. On our drive home, even our kids were commenting on what a great experience it was. Will definitely be back again.

Everybody enjoyed every single piece of food and drink that was ordered and again, we cannot express enough how wonderful the staff is.
