The food was fantastic!! Small plates allow you to try a bit of everything. The octopus was the best we have ever had! We sat at the bar and the bartender was the best around!! The pizza crust was crispy and the toppings fresh!

The food at Coppa was absolutely delicious; however, our seating couldn't have been worse. The dining room was booked so we reserved a seat outside. We dressed warmly so the temperature wasn't the problem. The seats for the tables for two were incredibly uncomfortable and the tables were so small that our food had to be brought out in sequence because we could not fit everything on the table. We had originally asked if we could move to the much more comfortable tables for four, but were told they were reserved. In the almost two hours we sat there, four tables for four were not used! Eventually, I took an extra chair from one of the larger tables and at least I was more comfortable. I can't believe we spent more than $125. for a dinner sitting at a restaurant that doesn't provide minimally adequate seating for their patrons. The food was great but the value was poor because of the seating.

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.
