    Coppa was fabulous from servers to food to wine. Definitely get a reservation, and the tables are best, but the bar seats get a great view of the amazing salad station and skilled bar staff.

    This used to be just a terrific place. Now all it is is pizza and pasta. There were no main courses of fish or meat. The quality has gone down …so disappointed …it’s still fine and a lovely neighborhood bistro atmosphere ….service was great, but the quality was poor and the wines were pathetic.

    The hangover pizza (available on brunch) is arguably the best pizza in Boston. The ravioli with oxtail and bone marrow ragú is unbelievably good as well. Service is okay, it takes time to be greeted and be poured water though it’s understandable for the size of the waiter’s section. Overall great quality and taste of the food for the price. They also got phenomenal desserts but this time we chose to go to a nearby café post brunch.

    Be prepared COPPA is small! So if you’re early there’s nowhere to really stand. The tables are small so also limits space while eating. HOWEVER the food and service more than make up for that. The bucatini pasta is an all time fav, and you can’t go wrong with their pizza!

    It was a chilly night and they sat us ( reserved seats ) near an open window. The guests next table did not want the window closed, so the restaurant didn’t close the window. The restaurant was quite loud & I could not hear my dining partner speak. The food was fair, but not great. This used to be a favorite place, but the quality of the experience certainly was in decline last night. This is too bad!!!

    Our table was note ready when we were arrived but nothing an aperol spritz at the bar couldn’t solve. We always enjoy our food and love coming here- some of the pasta dishes are smaller compared to a lot of the Italian restaurants but that’s because they suggest a family style. Everything we had was excellent and service was also good!

    True northern Italian food. Honestly, being Italian, I felt as if I was at home in Veneto eating at my town’s local restaurant.

    I’ve been to Coppa before and got the spaghetti carbonara and absolutely loved it and was looking forward to my return. This time, however, I was severely disappointed by the service and the food. For the food we got polpette (meatballs) which were fair, the arrosticini (lamb skewers) which were amazing, and the fusilli and fettuccine con tartufo for the main course. The fusilli and fettuccine were beyond disappointing. Although the pasta itself was good, the fusilli had no sausage in it which was listed as the first ingredient on the menu. And the $45 fettuccine? As a lover of all things truffle, I honestly don’t think any truffles were used. The dish did not taste like truffles at all, even the truffle flakes on top of the dish also did not taste like truffles. I am certain it was another finely sliced mushroom. To top it off, both of us ordered drinks and had finished them with the appetizers but, we were not asked if wanted a refill until dessert. Overall, pretty disappointing for a meal I spent over $200 on.
