Summary: Try Coppa if you're looking for a medium priced option that serves tasty, unique food in a nice atmosphere.

Located in Fairhaven at the top of the hill, this cute bistro serves delicious mediterranian food in a cozy colorful atmosphere. If you're looking for something a little different, this is the place to go. They have everything from hummus to pasta, featuring unique food from all over the mediterranian region. On our visit, I had kebabs of spiced ground lamb that were tasty & flavorful. The only let down for us was that the prices had gone up recently, the menu we looked at outside the restaurant was significantly cheaper than the one we ordered from. If the old prices had been in effect still, this place would have landed on my "favorite restaurant" list. Entrees ranged from about $12 to $20, making it just a bit too expensive for our everyday eating out. My kebabs were about $14 and although it wasn't a huge meal, it fit my appetite perfectly. Coppa also features a wine list that has 10 bottles in three price categories - $13.50, $16.00 & $19.50. This seems like a great deal, but the $16 bottle the waitress recommended is one I recognized from the grocery store that sells for $4-$5. So the markup isn't any less, the wine is just cheaper & our bottle wasn't that great. The service was very friendly & good here, the hostess washed our sons highchair for us & helped keep him entertained throughout the meal.
