If you’re craving authentic Italian pasta and wood-fired pizza, The Copper is a must-visit for your next downtown dining experience!
I started the evening with a glass of Italian red wine and an antipasti board featuring Gnocco Fritto (deliciously deep-fried pizza dough), creamy burrata, Parma prosciutto and arugula. I also enjoyed golden arancini filled with creamy risotto, sweet corn and Parmigiano, succulent shrimp with asparagus, and a refreshing Caprese.
