Worst dining experience I had in Boston. After hearing that Coppa has some great pasta, I recently took a visit for dinner. However, the overall experience was utterly disappointing. We came in with a reservation, and despite my VIP status on Resy, they gave us the worst table at the restaurant. There were clearly three empty tables by the window side, yet they gave those away to Caucasian groups later. There were barely enough space to place my legs, and we were constantly surrounded by people walking as it was a spot with the heaviest foot traffic. I wasn’t looking for a special treatment, but it seemed like the people at the host stand were discriminatory against the only non-caucasian group at the restaurant. I hate to pull out the race card, but this was the first time I’ve felt discriminated throughout hundreds of restaurants I’ve been to in Boston. Their terrible service afterwards also made me confirm my belief that they were discriminatory. Our server who took our order never returned to check on our table and we didn’t get our drinks. Other groups who came much later got their drinks immediately, but we never got ours. Without a single word or an explanation, one of the servers also essentially through the appetizer dishes on our table. They were clearly oblivious to the crumbling customer experience, and until I finally pinned down one of the servers/manager, we had to wait in silence to express our dissatisfaction. We ended up leaving the restaurant as soon as we got the pasta. Their pasta was good, but not as good as the hype. While the manager refused to accept our payment, we eventually paid via their online pickup portal. This experience may not pertain to some groups of people, but based on my numerous dining experiences in Boston, I would highly suggest avoiding this place.

Boston is not known for its food scene, so I wouldn't necessarily say there are many fantastic restaurants. However, Coppa would have to be one of the exceptional ones for me. It's a neighborhood hidden gem tucked away in the South End. It's not a formal spot, but it's great for a cozy date night and a small girlfriends catch up. I ordered the Crudo, Arancini, and a pasta dish that I can't seem to find on the menu anymore. It was absolutely incredible. I still crave my bowl of pasta, it was very tasty, especially with the toasted butter breadcrumbs on top. I would definitely recommend it! They don't always have reservations, which is an indication of how highly sought out it is!

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!

We are here our first night in Boston and it really made the whole experience feel so authentic to us. The restaurant is tucked in a really cozy corner on the street, the lights are dimmed inside, and the place is small which made it all feel very comfy. We sat at the bar because they were really packed (make a reservation?), but that was fun because we got to talk to the bartender. We ordered the rigatoni and a margarita pizza. I would say the rigatoni was 10/10 and some of the best pasta I have ever had. The pizza was more of a flat crust and a little bland in my opinion, but I prefer a brick-overn-style pizza so I’m not sure how much weight my opinion holds. Overall the experience was so lovely.

Consistently great. Love the pizza. 5 stars.

Such a cute place with good food! I loved sitting on the quiet street enjoying the fall weather. I loved that they didn't play any music outside, so we can enjoy conversation and just the quiet cute neighborhood. The pastas and brussel sprouts were so good! I really liked that it didn't overwhelmed with ham or bacon like usual, I can taste the creamy cheese and the greens instead.

Such a nice place to enjoy the small plates with friends. No wait for walk-in since we came on a week day around 1pm. Love the food. Highly recommended!

One of our favorite spots in the South End. Coppa is a very intimate restaurant with an excellent selection of small plates and drinks. New in 2021, Coppa has set up outdoor seating, which offers a nice alternative to those not wanting to dine indoors yet. Although, the heaters were out of propane when we last visited! The menu is always being updated with new dishes, as is the drink selection. The Crudo is one of the best and the oyster dishes are great too, but sometimes the kitchen can go overboard with the toppings on the oysters, which diminish the flavor. Overall, we are always happy following a meal at Coppa and will be back soon.

The carbonara, the pasta was perfectly cooked, creamy, it’s an elevated version of your favorite classic, pancetta seemed to be made in-house. I loved the asparagus in it. No complaints on the food. Our waiter kenney was not very friendly, he didn’t tell us the special or offer us dessert.

Thought it was odd there was no red sauce pasta option on the menu. We asked for it anyway and they were more than happy to make it for us. Mushroom pizza was amazing, olives as a starter was fun. Cute place too!

I always come to Coppa Enoteca for dinner when I work in Boston. This is one of, if not the best Italian restaurant I've ate at. With Covid I hadn't been back to Boston since September 2019. Tonight we got to eat here once again. They have expanded thier outdoor seating, adding over 6 more tables. It was great to see that Coppa survived through covid and seems to be doing well. Tonight we had the Spaghetti Carbanera, Cavatelli and Funghi pizza. It was all very good! The waitress was great and kept out drinks filled. It was a beautiful night for eating outside.

Great dining experience and delicious food! I was able to come on a Friday night and got seated at the bar not too long after showing up. The bartender was very attentive and nice. The food was fresh and authentic. I could tell that the pasta was fresh and everything was delicious. I ordered the Tagliatelle and it was a good serving size. I ordered the Shoobie Spritz to drink and it was sweet, refreshing and served in a pint glass. I considered ordering a second drink but it would have been quite the journey walking home alone. I also ordered the tiramisu (not pictured). The tiramisu was also really good but, it is more of a nutella/chocolate tiramisu than an original tiramisu. I enjoyed it but if you don't like chocolate or hazelnut flavors, you won't like this tiramisu. The food was delicious and fresh, the staff was nice and I would recommend coming here for a date night or an intimate dinner. The restaurant is small on the inside and a little difficult to maneuver around.

Had their take out today and was not too impressed. The “grandma” slice was doughy and had a weird combination of flavors. I was also unaware that it came with pepperoni but I’ll take the blame on that one. The pie was better but the crust was not traditional and tasted cheap. The pie itself was around 8-10 inches and expensive for what I was given

The white pizza(Mais and Marrow) was the best pizza I had in Boston!!! definitely want to visit again:)

Such a fun spot in a beautiful neighborhood! My husband and I traveled to Boston for our honeymoon. We were told that Copper's is a great spot to try, so we ended up stopping by for a cocktail before our dinner reservations at another spot. We were so impressed! Great atmosphere and wonderful service. We sat at the bar and we got a chance to chat with the bartender and see some of the dishes being prepared. So cool! They had a Gilmore Girls theme for their fall cocktails and I tried the Sookie and DAR. My husband had a glass of red wine and the Team Jess. All the drinks were delicious, but we would recommend the Sookie and Jess. We would definitely go back if given the chance!

Delicious food with perfectly sized pasta portions. Only complaint is timing of the entrees. We were a party of 5 and they brought out 3 entrees and we waited over 10 minutes for the other two. No explanation or apology for the wait.

I would go back as the food is delicious BUT the service was terrible! From the waiter, who didn’t check on us or asked if we wanted more drinks timely, who decided to pack a sandwich my husband ordered to eat in the restaurant to take home because he assumed it was going to be too much food and only brought it to the table when we said it was to eat now and not later, who took the longest time to bring us our check to the host who ended up bringing us the check and saying we wouldn’t be able to pay because they didn’t have a card machine for chip cards and said we needed to figure it out. Honestly I think they are very famous because they know they are good so they don’t care if they give a good service… mind you we were celebrating an anniversary and this was not a nice experience… we tipped but we hated the service.

Excellent service and food options! We were walk-ins and they helped us get our table promptly. I wish I lived locally so I could visit again!

the food was so good! great place for a saturday lunch :) my friends had the carbonara.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic food, one of the best restaurants in Boston, good atmosphere! I recommend the Caesar salad and the Spaghetti Carbonara (Original) Comida fantástica, um dos melhores restaurantes de Boston, atmosfera boa! Recomendo a Caesar salad e o Spaghetti Carbonara

The celery cesar is to die for

Food and service were excellent! Had a bunch of people and they were very accommodating.

Meatballs are fabulous! The only thing that would make it better is a liquor license

Went here and I could barely hear myself think, there was loud pop music playing. One wonders why this is needed in a restaurant that bills itself as cosy. Truly a mystery. On the plus side the service was good and people were nice. But I would not go back.

Cavatelli (4*/5*) ($24) Pros: -Nice rich flavors (you can taste the ground sausage) -Pasta was cooked perfectly -Nice hint of spicyness -Overall pretty good Cons: -Very hard to taste the broccoli, I didn't think they would ground everything together; not a huge fan, had hoped there were some extra textures -Potentially a bit oily due to the ground sausage (my stomach gets a bit sensitive if there's too much oil in my food) Restaurant Review Pros: -There was an extra storm door to prevent against cold drafts from people entering -It wasn't too loud; nice atmosphere -Some staff were friendly and nice Cons: -I feel prices were a bit higher than usual considering what you get -I wasn't a big fan of the 3% extra tip added onto the bill for "back staff", considering they could have just taken it out from the general tip instead of adding in an option that could have been overlooked leading to excessive tipping -Bar stools didn't have a back to hang your coat or lean back to -Place gets full easily, so make sure you reserve a spot or you will be placed at the bar

Great customer service and hospitality. The pizza was authentic Italian and absolutely delicious.

I mean, are you even in the South End if you dont dine here???

The food was not good. The service was not that great. Our first waiter brought me a drink in a dirty cup. It had a huge piece of food floating in it. My pregnant friend threw up. I had to send my food back because it was so nasty. I have never left a review on a restaurant but I was so sad after leaving and spending $30 on something that was disgusting. -0/10 would not recommend.

Great dinner tonight at Coppa! The pasta was super fresh and their wine selection was really good. We ate outside on their patio and the server was great. Definitely recommend!

Little Italian restaurant with a cozy vibe. Food is delish no matter what you get. We got a few plates to share and we enjoyed everything. Friendly staff as well. Only 4/5 due to difficulty for a large party. Had us call back several times to speak about a reservation for 8. Wouldn’t let us reserve a table for 8 without having a pre-fixe menu, but allowed two separate tables of 4. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Would recommend!

best pasta I've ever had in my life, congratulations to the chef and to all of the Casa team keep it up thank you, evaluation from a Brazilian 🇧🇷

One of our favorite spots in Boston -- so much so that it was worth getting a babysitter for! (Though it's reasonably kid friendly.) Seasonal, ever-changing menu. Prepare to order at least 2 dishes per person (apart from pizza). Sizable outdoor dining.

We really enjoyed our dinner! Service was great. Pasta was delicious and the lamb was perfection. Cocktails are also a must here!

Food was average. The meatball had a nice spice to it but the texture felt more like a meatloaf. It was kind of grainy not as juicy as it should be. The tomato and peach salad was an utter flop. The vinegar took over the whole dish. The tomatoes were mushy and the ratio to peaches was too high. The bolognese was good but I’ve had better. The sauce was pretty one note and could have used more flavor to it. The carbonara was good. The amount of uni was small but you definitely got the fish flavor for it.

We came here for my mom’s birthday after it being recommended to us by several people and Coppa far exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond to make it a special dinner for her and from start to finish the service was impeccable. The celery ceasar is a can’t miss item and the pastas were incredible. Highly recommend this place and can’t wait to come back next time we’re in boston. Thank you to the coppa team!

Would definitely recommend Coppa though the inside is small and the tables are pretty close together so its you can't have a private conversation or a more intimate dinner. The food and service were very good. Overall SRV still wins out so far as my favorite Italian Restaurant in the South end in terms of food, service and ambience, but Coppa's coffee cannolis were one of the best deserts ever. Save some room for them. Also had decaf americanos which were excellent. (pictured are the arancini, burrata, squid ink pasta, cannolis, the zeppole.)

Mixed feelings about this place, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere but the tables are too close to each other. The food was good, my pizza was decent and my wife loved her pasta, but the drinks could be better, specially when you pay $15 each and they are served on soda cups. The server was friendly and fast, but I cannot rate as good service because even though we ordered our mains together, my wife's plate was served much later than mine. It's ok when they are not served at the same time, but the time difference cannot be long, and it was; there was also an extra fee at the end, something around 5%

Italian food, mmm, so tasty. the staff was very helpful and welcoming.

Definitely quality food but compared to the top of Italian in the city it's not quite five stars

I had the veggie pasta dish with spicy tomato sauce and it was wonderful!!

Awesome foods Servers are polite :) Best pizza in boston

Solid, though unspectaular pizza.

Very nice food and good service. Will recommend. They serve very nice pasta

Favorite starters are the beef carpaccio and roasted veal bone marrow: and mains; their grilled swordfish, roasted branzino, and veal shank agnolotti. My wife, who Italian, says that Angelini's tiramisu is the best in the world.

From what I know now.... I will never eat here or go back there... I was doordasher & thanks to the manager telling lies I'm no longer a dasher.... All because the place wasn't following covid-19 rules & regulations....

Great food. 30% charge to assist in COVID Crisis. IT was well worthed.

Went to this place in downtown MA for dinner because it was nearby, had good reviews and I like having pasta on Friday nights. I wasn't disappointed. There is gluten free pasta and organic red sauce on the menu. Service was quick and great. Would recommend.

One of my favorite spots for italian food. Came here on a Friday I think. This place has a great feel to it. Menu is like a cafe in Indianapolis I liked.

Excellent small Italian restaurant in Boston. The pizza is excellent but you have to get to get the celery Cesar salad. The swordfish is also excellent. All of the pasta dishes are very good. It has a small bar and outdoor seating as well. Reservations are recommended.

We LOVE Coppa. Not only the food is the best Italian you can find in town, but also the staff are truly wonderful and friendly. We come here often, and always try their specials and also have our go to. As for desserts, the triple donuts are delicious.

This is one of the best restaurants in Boston. The atmosphere is good. And the food is awesome. They do really nice cocktails as well. I just want to give them more stars!

The spot is great and spacious, the food was yummy and the rates were very reasonable. quickly, efficient service and very personal staff. Highly recommended.

Best pizza and pastas in Boston. Amazing servers, and great wine lists.

Each dish delivered left you wanting more. Fresh ingredients combined beautifully. Service was impeccable

I really like their dishes. I always get awesome service here. The place is well organised and the employees are always very kind. Will come visit again.

Good food and drinks. A little gem in the south end.

Their charcuterie board is excellent but their pizzas are just OK

The girl behind the counter was friendly and helpful. The gelato was really good.

Use open table for most up to date reservations! Food always great, staff always great!

Had a very bad delivery experience through Caviar and let the restaurant know. The manager Ryan was responsive and sent us a free meal to make up for it. This really impressed us and when dining is fully open, we plan to go for dinner!

Great service and great food!! The amount of cheese and meats were a bit disappointing (better go across the street to formaggio) The meatballs, arancini and pizza were delicious. Unfortunately I never like one wine from their menu.

This place is definitely worth a visit if your travelling through Boston's South End.

Always a good service, great atmosphere Always recommend the Celery Ceasar

Good food! Great staff!

Pistachio ice cream is from a local pop up, and it's absolutely amazing. We shared pasta, the sandwich and a few apps. All were very good. Need to return to try the pizza though.

Celery salad is a must have dish if you like celery or any types of salad. Meat balls! Classic meat balls perfectly done. Campanelle Cacio, parmesan pasta with peas..omg! I never liked peas but this dish changed my mind. The service was okay since they are really busy even during weekdays. I would love to come back Boston and try other menus for sure.

(Translated by Google) I quite like the restaurant good service (Original) Me agrado bastante el restaurante buen servicio

Great food, outdoor dining setup with excellent COVID precautions.

Great food, great service... and now, by necessity, a great outdoor dining space. Some of the friendliest staff in town, it’s all the more appreciated as the weather gets colder and we try very hard to keep eating outdoors. They have heat lamps but make sure you bring a coat and sweater and enjoy the experience.

Some of the best food in Boston. Love to come here for brunch or special occasions

Steak tartare!!! Had to have it twice

Great place and food although outdoor sitting was pretty uncomfortable. We requested another seating area even with a reservation and they couldn't accommodate us. No complains other than that, however! Servers were kind and the food was delicious.
