The food is always good here but the service never is. Last night it was exceptionally bad. I hate when a server provides bread to every other one of their tables but yours. It shows to me that they care very little about you. She also checked in to everyone else too but ours. Then my main food came and I finished and then 10 minutes after I finished my partners came. So he sat and watched me eat and then we waited and they I sat to watched him eat. Very annoying. Other servers cam to apologize but not our server. She basically sucked. I know I will go back because the food is great but I am over tipping for bad service.

Gluten free night was amazing! This was our first time coming for gluten free night as I’m recently gluten free and it lived up to their non-gluten free food for sure!

Superb! We are so excited to see the fresh summer additions like the tomato and melon salad! Amazing! The roasted snap peas - also amazing! Two women waiters kept on eye on the table and were terrific. Coppa is a neighborhood jewel.

We were seated outside on a lovely evening, so that was great. We wished for a simple fish entree but the menu is quite limited to pasta or pizza. There were a couple other options (a pork sandwich or steak and an usual veggie option) ----but that was it. No chicken or fish. A slightly broader menu would have been nice on a hot evening. The pasta tasted great but it was very heavy given the weather.
