    We love this quaint spot for amazing drinks and pasta in our neighborhood! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, the mortadella pimento and nitrate were delish and the gluten free pasta is out of this world. The staff is also super friendly and accommodating. We will be back again and again….

    You can depend on Coppa for a simply delicious Italian meal. Although the tables are very close to each other, it is a friendly and almost intimate atmosphere. The staff was attentive without being intrusive and the wine choices to go along with a fabulous pasta. We’re good even by the glass.

    Sat at 9:15 on a Saturday night. Server rushed us the entire time. Barley even greeted our table and just told us the kitchen was closing in 45 min. We we half way though our dinner and she plopped the check on the table. Never asked how the food was or attempted to provide any service to us at all. I work in the industry. I understand wanting to close ASAP but 9pm on a Saturday? Take deep breath and walk through the steps of service. 9pm customer is the same as 7pm on a Saturday in a major city.

    Extremely disappointed - towards the end of our meal as we were finishing our entrees the host came over and told us we should order dessert asap as the party who was getting our table next had arrived and was waiting behind her. However, during no point of our meal were we told we had a limit on the table. Also, our server was in no rush taking our orders we actually had to flag him down twice to put in our entrees. It put an extremely bad taste in our mouth. The hostess ended up seating the patrons at the bar but she just did not handle the situation well at all. Also, if you are going to rush us out at least comp our espresso or a meal. I had brought a friend from out of town and had talked up Coppa - we were extremely disappointed.
