Coppi opened in 2012 and is Belfast’s first cichetti bacari/restaurant inspired by those found in Venice. The name Coppi comes from the great cycling legend Angelo Fausto Coppi who dominated the competition and won 7 Grand Tours since the 50’s. His hard work and determination to be the best serve as a driving force and inspiration for the restaurant’s success. With a dedicated vegan menu, Coppi wants nothing but the best dining experience for its customers.
