As a chef who has been educated as a biochemist and has also worked as an artist, Chef Roberto has a singular approach to the kitchen: he treats it as both a laboratory and a studio, creating precise, attractive dishes. At COPA, Chef Roberto showcases Nuevo Latino small plates and main courses, bringing an elevated, modern style to traditional flavors and dishes from Spain, Cuba, and the Americas.
Like her husband and partner, Elizabeth fell into the restaurant industry quite unintentionally. And like Roberto, she has found great joy in the unexpected. As Bar Director, Elizabeth oversees the development of COPA's Cuban cocktails and bar program. You can often find her tending a bar, working on a new recipe, or geeking out over a new find in an old book.
"COPA would be delighted to host your next event at our acclaimed bar. We have a number of popular packages and are also able to provide tailored options to best accommodate your needs. We look forward to working with you for a remarkable and delicious experience.

Exceptional quality in service and food. The atmosphere was crisp and clean. Everything we tasted was phenomenal. Loved the friendly and helpful service. COPA did not disappoint!
My only sadness is that I live very far away from COPA. This is the most incredible Cuban restaurant I have ever been to. The food is absolutely outstanding. Service was phenomenal and the atmosphere is warm and inviting...
Stopped to eat before DPAC show .Food was delicious - especially garlic shrimp. So good! We also enjoyed our drinks: mojito and Cuban Libre. Great food, but be prepared to pay for it. Will definitely come back back.
Absolutely amazing meal here last week: Croquetas - Pork Fritters, Fried Pork Belly - Masas de Puerco, Classic Cuban Sandwich, and a La Diosa Negra (the best cocktail I've had in a long time). Incredibly delicious with amazingly fresh ingredients from COPA's farm Terra Sacra!
Stellar service & tapas. Particularly good charcuterie.....a lovely unexpected night in downtown Durham.. A "Living wage" restaurant that shines with enthusiastic staff with a deep knowledge of their sourcing & menu items.
