    The food was and always is fabulous. The ambiance of this restaurant is old school Italian. The service could be better, however the staff is very pleasant and helpful. The price point is extremely reasonable for this quality of food. I have dined at this restaurant frequently and it is one of my favorite places in Boston.

    Coppa is consistently stellar every time I return. There is no wrong turn on the menu, food and cocktails alike.

    Great valentine’s four course experience! Neighborhoood gem. Only thing I would say is the courses came out extremely fast; we hadn’t finished our starters and our main pastas and pizza were already on the table. Very delicious though and prompt service. Just felt a little rushed. Great atmosphere, cozy spot. Will be back!

    On a Friday evening, Coppa was packed. The friendly, efficient wait staff have just enough room to walk between tables. You will know what folks on adjoining tables choose for dinner and what they talk about. That is potentially the down side. The food is delicious. We shared an order of the spicy arancini, which we recommend. I then had the mushroom pasta which was fabulous with thin slices of mushroom and plenty of parmesan on top of more rigatoni than I could finish. My partner loved the bucatini. Coppa has the feel of a neighborhood joint and the cuisine of an elegant restaurant.
