The Tagliatelle and Bucatini are amazing with rich and intense sauces. Recommend the hangover pizza too and the Foie Gras is also cooked to a great balance. Will recommend visiting and will be back.

Cozy and small restaurant with sharable plates and good wine. Our waitress recommended a perfect wine from Umbria and our favorites were the funghi pizza and arancini.
The only thing that could be better was the bread that came with the olive oil, it was not fresh and very mediocre 🙁

Not a great dining experience. We made a reservation at 5 pm on a Tuesday which is when the restaurant opens. The food took way too long to come out especially since we were one of the only few customers there. The wait itself is forgivable but what wasn’t was the fact that it took 20 mins between the dishes to come out and we only ordered one pasta each. My sister had to stare at me eat for 20 minutes before hers came out. Questionable how this could be because the restaurant had just opened and there seemed to be plenty of staff in the kitchen and servers. For starters, Arancini was not great—tasted a little burnt and lacked sauce. Vongole was very disappointing, strayed way too far from what vongole is supposed to be. Couldn’t tell what the flavor was, a mix of some spice and sweetness from corn underneath the pasta. The savory flavors of clam which is what one would expect when they order a vongole were nowhere to be found. Carbonara was okay, nothing special. There was this clumpy yellow thing which appeared to be from the yolk but other reviews are saying they’re uni? Certainly was not uni. The menu didn’t say that either. The only positive thing I can say about the food is the pasta itself. The noodles were fresh and had good texture. They must’ve made it from scratch given the amount of time it took them….if not…..id be very concerned how they manage to serve any of the customers in reasonable time.

We made a reservation for 5pm, and were one of the first ones to dine at the place as soon as it opened for dinner time. Considering there were only two of us dining inside the restaurant, food took really long to come out (but we saw a lot of take out orders being put out….)
Appetizer came out after 25-30 minutes. Then our first pasta dish came out 15 minutes after. It was fine until the second pasta came out another 15 minutes later. When asked when the second dish was coming, our server reminded us that the carbonara takes longer than other dishes and said it would be another minute which turned into 5-7 minutes. By the time my pasta came out, my sister was done with her pasta.
Now for the food review: the food was alright. Felt more fusion than authentic. If you are looking for just a good, authentic Italian place, I wouldn’t recommend. The vongóle was nothing like a traditional vongóle, the sauce was red, slightly spicy and sweet. Never seen sweet corn in vongóle. Carbonara was also nothing like a traditional carbonara I expected. It was kind of flavorless and the texture was more soupy than cheesy. My impression of the pastas here was as if somebody with no culinary knowledge tried to be creative.
Seems like our experience is consistent with the horrible service reviews here. Would not visit again.

Don’t even know where to start, we had a reservation for 8pm and were told to wait outside — seated at 8:28PM. This seems to be consistent across all negative reviews and is clearly an issue here.
The food was really not good — everyone at our table agreed. Arancini overcooked, pizza (potato pizza) flavorless, mushrooms were cold and lemony which may be appealing to some but not my group.
Maybe we got a consistent bad luck of the draw but the ratings for this place and our experience did not align whatsoever. Worst $50+/pp dining experience in 2025 for me

A must-go when I’m in town. The pastas and pizzas are all phenomenal, literally never once been disappointed. The celery Caesar salad is so light but full of flavor and something I order every time. The prosciutto and other meats/cheeses are top notch. Had one of the best foie gras dishes of my life here. And on top of that, the service is excellent – just attentive enough to meet your needs while giving you space to enjoy your night. Also don’t sleep on the desserts! Their ricotta donuts are particularly divine.

Overall a nice dining experience on a Thursday night at Coppa – food was tasty and came quick. I was satisfied with the gluten free pasta option. Service was just okay – nothing spectacular but nothing particularly wrong, either. We ate at the bar, & I requested some drink and food recommendations since it was my first timing dining at coppa, but was disappointed in the bartender’s willingness to engage and provide any insight. She didn’t seem overly busy, either (was on her phone at times in which we were waiting for service). Maybe sitting at a table would be a better experience but with a reservation almost 2 weeks out and a small dining space, this was all we could get!
Updating my review because I visited again about a year later: this time I sat at a table on a date night. Service was very good and food exceeded my expectations again. Overall a great cozy spot.

Great food with friendly service
Had soppressata, zucca and broccolini for three people. I really enjoyed soppeessata (pizza) which was savory with hint of sweetness from honey. Zucca was good-olive was a great kick that went well with the overall dish. Broccolini was my favorite; it was not too strong nor bland. Seasoned well with grinded cheese and spices.

Had the pleasure of experiencing this restaurant on a whim a week ago. My friend and I dropped in by chance just as they opened for the evening. Our server David was nothing short of stellar. The whole team was available to make recommendations and suggest wine and beer pairings as we made our way through delicious arancini, burrata, pizza, pasta, and an incredible apple dessert that was the special of the evening. By the time we finished our meals the place was packed with not an empty seat in the house- yet everything appeared to be running flawlessly and nobody on the team appeared stressed in the slightest. Truly a top notch dining experience!
