    The food was outstanding (the chicken liver mousse, bocqueronas, and bucatini stood out) and the portions were good for the price. We really enjoyed our evening.

    Another amazing evening at Coppa!!! Fabulous food, incredible service and a lovely evening all around!! Highly recommend the Celery Caesar, Polpette, Campanelle, and — as always — the Cavatelli is not to be missed! Thank you, team, for another wonderful night and always being a beloved neighborhood destination!

    My server was amazing, attentive and super polite. Always a great night when I have dinner at coppa. Last min reservation, we got there early and the host was able to squeeze us in earlier. Great date night, causal night, or to go Italian.
