    Service was great, all of the employees were very kind, but the food was not to my taste at all. Everything was just a little off. Barely any meat in the carbonara. 4 tiny little bacon bits sized pieces. Great short rib, but then everything else on the plate was super sweet? Just seemed like none of the tastes meshed well, might just be my personal preference though

    Great location and the ambience of the restaurant is fantastic. It feels much like a neighborhood restaurant. The service was excellent and very responsive, but not too much where they were intrusive. The staff was very knowledgeable on the menu as well as the wine selection. Highly recommend for a small intimate dinner or for a group.

    My nephew and I are working through the 2024 James Beard Award-winning restaurant list in Northern Colorado. We recently had an excellent experience grazing our way through Coperta's amazingly authentic Italian/Roman menu and were glad to return with family last night. Though our tastes are diverse, from appetizer to main course Coperta's dishes did not disappoint and neither did the service. Proprietor, Paul Reilly checked our table twice during the meal and took the time to introduce himself as we were saying goodby. Thank you, Coperta. Thank you, Paul. We are certain to return.

    Amazing dinner across the board. We had all the pastas. The signature ragu was a crowd favorite, but there was nothing I wouldn’t want to eat again.

    Great eatery, fairly small menu but no need for lots of options because everything was so dang tasty! Noise level was a bit loud but being a fairly small place hard to avoid. Will certainly go back

    The service was great! Our glasses were always full. We ordered a few appetizers and the foccassia cannot be skipped. We shared a few small plates of pasta, which was great so we could try multiple dishes. The Carbonara was our favorite. Our server was great at making suggestions. Overall, a great date night celebrating mg husband's Birthday.

    Super excited to try but the dishes were disappointing. Linguine with clams was not very flavorful, and the rigatoni was off due to high salt content and excess cheese. The pappardelle dish was delicious. For a James Beard nominee I thought it was not their best food.
