Coppa Enoteca... what can I say holy moly. The food there was phenomenal, the pizza was crunchy but also chewy the perfect crust! Servers were attentive and always took care of us, good timing to check in but also left us alone for conversation. The environment was intimate but the outside patio looked fun and inviting! definitely would come back again

Came here on a weeknight with some friends who recommended it for nice Italian food in the South End. We sat outside on the patio on a warm spring evening around 8pm. We made a reservation ahead of time and were seated promptly upon arrival. We felt like the service was still good despite sitting outside where less tables were located. We split a bottle of red wine then ordered a lot of food to be shared family style. For appetizers, we went with the Asparagi, Arancini, and Peperone. The Arancini were my favorite! You can't go wrong with fried risotto paired with a spicy tomato sauce. For entrees, we split a Margherita Pizza and 3 pastas--Gemelli, Bucatini alla Vongole, and Spaghetti Carbonara. It felt like this was a sufficient amount of food for our group of 5 despite serving sizes being on the smaller side. I'd say the pastas were the best part! They were all delicious and unique. The Gemelli had braised lamb and sheep's milk cheese. The Bucatini was served as squid ink pasta. And the Carbonara was creamy and had pancetta mixed in. This dinner ended up being quite pricey but you are paying for nice food in the South End, so it wasn't too surprising. Part of me wishes we had each gotten our own entree instead of doing the family style route. Either way, it was still pretty good overall and we had a nice time!

I don't think I could say enough great things. First off, Zeph at the bar was phenomenal. Quick and attentive without being overbearing. She was a wizard, making drinks, taking orders, cleaning, helping everyone. I was truly amazed. Into the food, the Celery Caesar may be the best salad I've ever had. Whosever idea it was to make a salad using celery instead of lettuce was a genius. Every bit was crunchy and flavorful. The dressing was great. The portion was enormous, but I had none leftover because it was so good. The pasta had lamb and was the best pasta I've had in a long time. So fresh and simple. I wish I had room for more because so many of their dishes sounded amazing. The restaurant is small (but cute), and even on Wednesday night was packed so I recommend a reservation just to ensure you get a spot. It's well worth the effort.

Was going to give this place 4 stars because the staff was nice and the food was great, but thanks to Juan who saved the day I need to give this place 5 stars. Service was pretty bad. I wanted to give the waiter the benefit of the doubt, but I couldn't find a reason to. He didn't check up on us at all and only when I found a pretty large piece of plastic in my pizza did he show up. They only give you an hour and a half to dine so I was so confused on the type of service we received which they took forever to get us drinks and food. Once we got our first round of drinks after close to 20 minutes of being there, we put in our food order immediately and it came out at a decent rate, but a bit slow. I wouldn't complain about the rate at which the food comes out because I'm normally distracted talking to my company, but when our drinks were finished and we're never asked if we wanted another drink you notice. Towards the end of our dining experience when I found the plastic in my pizza, our waiter then shows up and he sent Juan our way. I told Juan about our service, apologized and took very good care of us. I heard so many good things about Coppa and was confused by the service. I also noticed two women next to us which seemed to also receive similar service by the same waiter and wanted to get their opinion, but they were set to leave. We even sat at the bar which you typically get checked on often, but the bar tender never reached us or looked our way. Other than the rant on our waiter, as I said Juan took great care of us to make up for it and I'm also giving this place 5 stars because the food was my favorite thing we ordered was the squid ink pasta with clams. So tasty. The Morty pizza looked amazing and was told it was great, but I don't eat pork and couldn't have any. Was really craving to try their pizza so I had to put an order in for their white mushroom pizza. It came out well done and over cooked compared to the Morty and my friend told me it wasn't near as good as the Morty. I've gotta go back and get that Morty without the pork! Will definitely return and hopefully service is better.

I've been to Coppa several times and always enjoyed! Recently I stopped in on a rainy Tuesday right about 5 for some post work libations. Normally the small space is packed to the brim but this day I got to enjoy a more quiet ambiance and a great view from a window seat. Fresh sliced charcuterie and cool atmosphere is a win, I'll be back!

I loved how cozy this place was, but with that being said you NEED a reservation especially on the weekends. There are not a lot of tables. To start we had a round of cocktails and tried a crudo appetizer - it was just ok. The real stars were the Soppressata Pizza and a truffle tagliatelle pasta that was on special. I was in carb heaven. Service was great - only complaint was being seated right by the door in February so it was a little drafty but overall a great time.

Very cute neighborhood spot perfect for a romantic date! The vibes are right but the portions were a little small for the price. We sat outside and the service was good. The team was able to answer my questions about the menu and accommodate my friend who is gluten free. All the pastas looked fabulous! I got pizza and wish it was bigger. I will say skip the cheese starter - that was embarrassing

First time coming to Coppa, it came highly recommended by a handful of friends. Located on a quieter street in the South End. The majority of the parking nearby was South End Resident Permit Only. I'd recommend figuring out your driving plans prior to arrival. There are a handful of parking garages within 10-15 min walking distance. Started off with some cocktails off the menu - Bad Romance and the Negroni. Both delicious. Server explained its "tapas" style due to the fact that the dishes were served once prepared. The meals were definitely sharable, but could also be entree sized. Service was great - it was FAST! Coppa had some outdoor seating, we chose inside because we knew it was going to rain. Smaller inside, so highly recommend a reservation. There are about 8-10 bar seats that were first come, first serve. Overall, would come again. Food was great!

I'm a huge fan of Ken Oringer + Jamie Bissonnette restaurants, and the range of food and ambiance they are able to achieve across establishments. Coppa is more cozy than their sister Faccia a Faccia on Newbury, but the quality of food is equal. The first time I went, I was seated outside late last summer which was so nice. Their patio area is small, but the entire restaurant is a bit crowded. I ordered the margherita pizza which was good! Definitely better than the average pizza, but still just baseline good. The second time I dined here, my party was seated inside (preferred because it was early May so not as warm yet) and the interior was decorated nicely. I ordered the polpette and seasonal gemelli pasta. The meatballs were very highly reviewed, and I really enjoyed them but were slightly on the salty side if anything. The seasonal gemelli pasta was amazing: pea shoots and peas, with pecorino and lemon. It was bright and the perfect spring pasta. I do love Coppa, but when I do recommend it to people, I always find myself adding "they really cram you in there!" And "some dishes are hit or miss in terms of value for what you order" but when it's a hit, they're very much worth it!!
