Osteria Coppa

New joint in downtown San Mateo uses local farmers and fishermen for fresh & local menu. Salami, pizza (650 F gas oven with Italian stone) and pasta are all scratch made in house.
Bigoli with with cranberry beans from Iacopi, home made pancetta and PR - excellent flavors, my favorite pasta
Fettucine with lobster, celery root and lemon verbena - nice pasta, semi bland sauce
Halibut tartare with winter radishes and cucumber and preserved lemon - this worked
Calamari babes, garbanzos, padron peppers and chile oil - my favorite plate
Artichoke pizza with Paremesan fonduta and lemon thyme
- pie looked better than it tasted. Onions overwhelmed all other flavors. Could barely taste cheese or chokes and didn't really like the flavor of the perfect - tavern style crust.
