    We went on one of Coppa’s gluten free nights—the margherita pizza was extraordinary, meatballs and garlic knots superb, and the mushroom casarecce was joy in a bowl. Coppa could set up a how to do gluten free university.

    Food was excellent. Service was not good. Waiter was inattentive, distracted, and disengaged. Seemed as though there was no management on site.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. The food was tasty and nicely presented. The cocktails were ok (a bit watery). Lovely terrace for a nice summer evening vibe.

    The place was packed, and rightfully so. The service was excellent, and the food was well worth the price. The funghi, the meatballs, and the pizza were all spectacular. It’s definitely a neighborhood gem!

    Seated us 30 minutes late, but to be fair the restaurant was pretty busy. The service was good and food came out at a good pace. Food was really tasty.
