The service was excellent, and our table was actually available and ready when we arrived 30 minutes early. Our waiter was very thoughtful, and returned just often enough to ask what we wanted, giving us enough time to work our way through the menu and make a few decisions. He was also very helpful and knowledgeable with suggestions and explaining as needed about various dishes. Though we were seated next to the front door, the staff had placed a small heater next to our table, between us and the door, which was perfect. The various dishes we ordered (appetizers, main dishes and dessert) came in perfect time, and the portion sizes were just right. The menu selections were varied enough to have us coming back, and not just the usual. The Coppa di Testa was amazing. Our only comment was the Spaghetti Carbonara was too salty, and my Campanelle Nero was too spicy (for my taste). The Zeppole and accompanying cider caramel and vanilla labneh were also amazing. The music choices were quite nice, and interesting, though somewhat loud.

The ambience is fantastic, the antipasti dishes we got were great, however, I thought the carbonara was waayyy too salty, even for me. If they put less pancetta and cheese and just overall salt in general, or more pasta to even out the flavor, it would be great. Otherwise if the other dishes are good I'd come again.

Amazing service with such a great menu. I've been for Goodfellas night too but anytime is delicious. Always appreciate the help with wine and drink pairings too.

Great food, excellent service and good value compared to other places in the city. We look forward to going back!

Coppa used to be my go - to. And it was still very very good. The only thing that's really changed in Coppa is that it's not open as late as it used to be. But that is important, because finding a late-night vibe in Boston is not the easiest thing. But what has really changed is me. The line that kept coming back to me as I was leaving was “Coppa without pig is not really Coppa”. So take that for what it's worth.

Coppa was awesome! we loved their take on traditional dishes. Our server was awesome! She was so nice and helpful, and perfectly attentive. Would 100% come back.
Josie
First time coming here and would definitely come again. We were sat a bit late but the servers were very kind and made up for it! They also offer blankets if dining outside which is such a nice touch. Food was delicious and fresh!

Everything was fine. The food, the drink and vibes. The only hiccup was we were 5 mins early and the host asked us to run across the bookstore to wait. A little consideration would have helped knowing that it was pouring out.

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 :(

I visited Coppa for a brunch meal, and was welcomed with a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. It was a great place to visit alone and take my own time to rest and enjoy my meal, which was not too special but still very much enjoyable. The service was prompt and friendly, if not entirely polished. Waitstaff are attentive without being intrusive, maintaining a relaxed pace that suits the brunch crowd well. However, occasional lapses in professionalism, like casual staff chatter near guests, detract slightly from the restaurant’s refined image.
The overall experience, nonetheless, was undeniably pleasant and comfortable. The ambience of warmth, attention to flavor and a genuine neighborhood charm makes it a very nice spot for leisurely brunches as well as more intimate dinners with such a wide variety of Italian options available to order with its own little twists popping out of unexpected places.
Cozy atmosphere, great food and wine and friendly service! Loved the anchovies and the arancini. Also the funghi pizza was delicious.

We shared the insalata, cavatelli and the Parma pizza. All were excellent. The vinaigrette on the salad was really flavorful and the pear was a nice taste. Our server did a nice job of recommending dishes and spacing them so we were able to enjoy the dishes without being rushed.

Quite possibly the most unpleasant dining experience ever in the city of Boston. Tables are way too small. Service sucks. The food is only ok. A tapas restaurant should at the VERY LEAST have a table large enough to accommodate a bottle of wine and three plates.

Love this little hole in the wall. Incredible food, wine, and service. This is our new go to date spot. Really intimate experience. Highly recommend the pasta dishes and arancini!
