[[HIGHLIGHT]]Coppa is a charming Italian restaurant in the South End. It reminds me a lot of small restaurants in NYC.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They do get booked up so be sure to make a reservation ahead of time! I am not really a Negroni girl, but the one here is to die for!! Highly recommend. Food: Arancini (9.6/10): Absolutely delicious. no notes. Cavatelli (9.1/10): I love this dish! So flavorful. Zeppole (8.7/10): These donuts are delicious!! But I can only have a couple because they are pretty heavy read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Coppa is such a cute restaurant located on the corner of a tucked away street in the South End. I appreciate the quietness and NYC vibe to it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is pretty small so make sure you get a reservation ahead of time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]In the warmer months you can sit outside but we sat at the bar since it was too cold outside and the regular seating was all booked up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar seating is tight so beware if you have a big jacket or bag with you![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the celery Cesar, cavatelli, and margarita pizza. The celery Cesar was interesting. It's literally thin pieces of celery tossed in Cesar dressing. It immediately reminded me of the small side you get when you order buffalo wings -- not exactly in a good way. The cavatelli was delicious and perfect to split. My friend and I split the salad, pasta and pizza which was great. The portions were just right and this meant for an inexpensive dinner for each of us which you love to hear. The margherita pizza was good but nothing that'll blow you away. The slices are tinyyyy though. My friend took home the pizza leftovers (2 slices) but we almost left them on the plate because that's how small they were. All in all it was a cute spot and I'd be interested in trying other menu items! read more

Order dinner take out from Coppa and I have to absolutely say my favorite is the soppressata pizza. The sausage is nicely balanced not too salty but with a hint of sweetness. It's also thinly sliced so you don't get that thick bite that feels disconnected from the rest of the dish. Definitely will reorder this again as well as try other pies read more

Such a great experience at Coppa Enoteca! This was such a great way to end our trip to Boston. We arrived at 8:15 which is the perfect time for a late dinner as their kitchen closes at 9 on Sundays. We started with the Zucchino with tomato, zucchini, burrata, squash blossoms, chili, garlic breadcrumbs, and oregano. We needed up with Zeppole which is ricotta donuts, strawberries, Sorrento lemon curd, vanilla, and poppy seeds. Everything was DELICIOUS. I could not recommend this restaurant more. Thank you Madison, Juan, and Alejandria for the recommendations, good conversation and making our last restaurant even better than we could have imagined. read more

Coppa Enoteca - Zeppole - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was quite small with some outdoor seating and warm, low light.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were able to get a seat for 2 around 8:30pm. Our server rarely came by even though they (seemingly) had less patrons as closing time approached. However, a different staff member was able to help me surprise my partner with a birthday candle on one of the desserts (tiramisu). I wish the tiramisu had been a classic rather than chocolate/nutella focused, as it was very heavy. The food was great, although the pizza did not stand out. Half of the crust was burnt and the flavors were just ok. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the other dishes. read more

Good but expensive for small portions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was expecting a traditional Italian restaurant but was pleasantly surprised with it being Italian tapas style.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would highly recommend making a reservation as the interior is small with limited number of tables. Unfortunately, the waitress wasn't very attentive but it did appear she was managing multiple tables. My friend and I split the Margherita pizza and each ordered a pasta dish. We both agreed the margerita pizza was the best dish! My bolognese was good but had too much meat. I have a peculiar personal preference for more pasta to meat ratio lol. The pasta was fresh! I almost forgot, they serve complimentary bread at the beginning and if you know me I love carbs so I was happy. read more

Coppa Enoteca brings the flavors of the North End and the charm of Spanish tapas to this South End street. There was truly no better spot to spend this warm fall night! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Coppa strikes a perfect balance with an energetic atmosphere that doesn't feel overwhelming, unlike the somewhat chaotic (yet loveable) vibe of the North End.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We called ahead to secure a table outside and the staff was super friendly on the phone. Unsurprisingly, the staff was just as friendly upon arrival as they escorted us to our table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even after the sun had fully set, there was perfectly dim lighting for the outside tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I often don't enjoy outdoor seating when close to the street, however, I was pleasantly surprised by how cozy and secluded Coppa's patio felt.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend sitting outdoors while the weather allows it. This is a great spot for a first date. The drink menu seems to rotate frequently, and while I can't find the exact cocktails we ordered online, they were delicious. My only qualm was that the portion size could've been a hair larger. Who doesn't like their cocktail filled to the brim! For starters, we chose the celery Caesar and the arancini. I was surprised by how much I loved the celery Caesar--it was refreshing and light, yet still delivered all the bready, cheesy goodness you'd expect from a classic Caesar. I had high expectations for the arancini and it did not disappoint. They were the perfect size to have enough crisp in each bite and well balanced with the fontina and butternut squash. The black garlic aioli beneath them was killer as well. For our main, we decided to split a Parma pizza which had tomato, mozzarella, dressed arugula, prosciutto di Parma. It was a little difficult to get the arugula in each bite (especially as a NY native and therefore pizza folder) but good nonetheless. The crust was a perfect thickness and had great char! You cannot do Italian tapas without getting a couple zeppoles as a nightcap. They were perfectly light and I LOVED the vanilla poppy cream that accompanied them. Overall, SUCH a great dining experience. The staff was beyond attentive, friendly, and patient (I might've overstayed my welcome 20 minutes past closing). I will be back to try more dishes and drinks ASAP! read more

I was able to score some last minute reservations here. The host was nice and server was attentive. The pasta was good the dishes were a little pricey and I didn't necessarily think it was worth it. I ordered cocktails as well, and they were good but not worth the price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself was very small and intimate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is nice if you're looking for something lowkey and in the area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, it was good however if you're looking for a 5 star pasta/Italian restaurant I'd recommend Capo Restaurant &Super club! read more

Attentive service, romantic ambiance, and dinner reservations weren't too hard to get on a weeknight. Best dishes of the night: - Spaghetti Carbonara (Pancetta, Maine uni, egg yolk, black pepper, parmesan) - Beef Heart Pastrami - Coppa di Testa (Crispy braised pigshead croqueta, apricot mostarda, golden beets, grain mustard, cress) Good but not the faves: - Zeppole (Ricotta donuts, raspberries, yogurt, vanilla milk crumble) - Cavatelli (Chicken sausage, tomato broccoli sugo, fennel pollen, parmesan) They also make a delicious negroni and their lavender soda is very refreshing. Would absolutely come back to Coppa for more beef heart pastrami and carbonara!! One of the best meals of my visit to Boston. read more

Whenever I'm in town, this place is a definite must-visit for me. The quality of the pastas and pizzas here is outstanding, and I have never been disappointed. I always make sure to order the celery Caesar salad, which is light yet bursting with flavors. The selection of prosciutto and other meats/cheeses is excellent. I had one of the most memorable foie gras dishes of my life at this restaurant. The service is top-notch - attentive enough to cater to your needs while also giving you the space to savor your evening. And let's not forget about the desserts - the ricotta donuts are absolutely heavenly. read more

Coppa is always an amazing time but more importantly that they spend time once a month to completely provide the Boston community with a GF menu. I'm not GF but friends of mine are and it's such a gem of a menu to have this option. The staff is always accommodating with service and questions with the food they have on those nights. GF crust on the pizza this time was a bit less desiring, not sure if they changed it but still tasty toppings!! Even without GF nights, this small wine bar is a find you need to be in for pizza or a pasta dish. Perfectly portioned. Quiet earlier in the evening, but the ambience picks up and elevates the neighborhood with warm nights to sit outside or at the bar. read more

I really liked this place. Cute and cozy inside and we sat very quickly with a reservation. We got the arancini, tagliatelle and the carbonara, as well at the salsiccia pizza and finished with the tirimisu. Arancini were crispy and cheesy, sauce was great but the entire thing wasn't mind blowing, just solid. The tagliatelle was probably the most "basic" dish of the night with well done pork ragu, probably would please anyone but again not mind blowing. The carbonara with uni in my opinion was stand out and very creamy and delicious. Uni adds that extra bit to take it to the next level. The salsiccia pizza surprised me because Im not a thin wood fire crust lover but this one was chewy and crispy but not burnt. The onions and shishito peppers were a nice touch and we did ask for honey to drizzle to take it one extra step and it was great. Perfect cheese to sauce ratio and really was the one dish I would come back for. The tiramisu was so unique because it has a layer of thick nutella that took it from a basic classic to a unique take and everyone at our table liked it. I am not a huge tiramisu fan but I did like it, just personally wouldn't have been my first choice. I think overall prices were reasonable with maybe the arancini and tagliatelle being a bit steep for what they were though i'd just skip those completely and something else if you want something more unique. My biggest qualm was the service being s bit chaotic, the server left mid- conversation at one point and just seemed very rushed. They even cleaned our table and asked us if we wanted dessert before we even got our mains which I know was an honest mistake but added to the feeling of being rushed overall. Won't claim this to be some of the best Italian in the city, but good option for some friends and family nights where you need a little something for everyone. read more

Very kind waiter, but not the fastest service. Also sat by the door and was freezing which just made it a bit uncomfy night. Otherwise, great vibes inside. A very cute, little Italian shop in the south end! The food was solid, however not a lot of chicken sausage in the cavatelli for $28 is my complaint. read more

Tucked away in the South End, Coppa is the kind of place that makes you want to go for every event. The service? Warm, attentive, and effortlessly kind. The food? Amazing. Every dish, from the perfectly charred pizzas to the rich, house-made pastas, felt like a work of art. Bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and an unmistakable passion in every bite. In a city full of great restaurants, Coppa is something special. read more

We came here for some appetizers and drinks prior to our main dinner reservation! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really adorable, quaint spot in the South End.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the Caesar salad and the three cheese and three meat charcuterie board. Definitely plenty of food--the meat servings were very generous! Only comment I have is that it would've been nice if the cheese and meat portions were more similar--I felt like the meat dwarfed the cheese. The mains they were bringing out also looked delicious, so we'll have to be back to try those another time. read more

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. read more

Really love this place as a cute South End eatery. It blends in nicely with the brick brownstones of the old Boston neighborhood and is excellent for a nice casual-nice date. We brought our 1-year-old and the staff treated us very well, giving us a spacious outdoor table and high chair. They were attentive and kept our waters filled. The mushroom pasta dish was a favorite of ours. Delicious, creamy, and super umami. Their Neapolitan-style pizzas are absolutely delicious, and actually somehow manage to avoid the super soggy center thats so characteristic of this style of pie (even though I know it's traditional). I am not an uni fan so we did not try their famous uni carbonara but it was clearly a hit since it seemed that every table near us ordered it! Quality italian food in the residential South End! Honestly what's not to love. read more

The sauce was a little sweet but balanced and the meatballs were juicy and tender. My sister loved her mushroom ravioli and my dad wouldn't stop talking about the carbonara. Service was on point and they even brought out complimentary dessert because it was my mom's birthday.

The food was very good, the service was great, [[HIGHLIGHT]]cool ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would recommend a reservation.

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. read more

Pros: [[HIGHLIGHT]]nice outdoor seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], waitress was nice Cons: [[HIGHLIGHT]]booked for 3 people and they kept trying to seat us at a table for 2 people. You cannot fit three entree plates on this table, let alone drinks and appetizers and sides.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Complimentary bread was not good (which is fine if it's complimentary). The Fusilli alla Nerano was way too expensive for a vegetarian dish, especially when that's how much the meat options were ($30). It was also way too salty and way too oily. Would not recommend. read more

Overall: 3.5/5 Ambience: 4/5, small space w small tables, adequately lit, plenty of ambient noise, a bit loud for a 1:1 date but perfect for small groups of friends Service: 4/5, attentive, we were seated at our appointment time one Tues 6p, prompt drinks, food within 15min of ordering Price: 3.5/5, on par with most of Boston, $16 drinks, $15 apps, and $25-35 pastas; $65++ per person for a drink, pasta, and split app/dessert. Enough to fill my friend and me. Food/Drink: 3.5/5 I acknowledge I tend to be picky of Italian restaurants, and Coppa did not live up to the hype. - Jungle Bird ($16): stand out of the night; delicious, rum-based, not overly sweet - Arancini ($15): 3; underwhelming, not enough cheese or sauce - Carbonara ($32): pancetta and uni cut through, but not enough, pasta was lukewarm - Bucatini Vongole ($28): better of the 2 pastas; tomato based sauce with mushrooms, rich in flavor - Tiramisu ($13): well-sized; unique in its addition of nutella; solid but not impressive. read more

Yummmmmmm is alllll I gotta say. Stumbled upon this place as I was walking by and the fullness of stables, music and cool vibe drew me in.

This is such a gem tucked away in the South End! We made a reservation for a weekend dinner far in advance and I'm so glad we did as this little place seems to be constantly buzzing with people. We were seated inside near their big windows facing the street, which ended up being such a cozy spot. Service was slightly slower than usual, but the staff were very warm and welcoming, even letting us taste some wine before getting a glass. To pair with some drinks, we ordered arancini and split a bowl of pasta and a pizza, which ended up being the perfect amount for us. Literally every dish here was mouthwatering and delicious.. I couldn't have asked for anything more. The tagliatelle pasta was probably my favorite and a must-try. The noodles were so fresh and the tasty, tangy sauce coated them perfectly. We ended the night with a tiramisu, which was also unreal. The portion was very large, but we had no problem licking our plate clean! I can't wait to return to Coppa! read more

Went here on a "date night" after work this past weekend. All I can say is ... WOW!!! Also, when can I got back?! Went in having no expectations, as I have been disappointed in the hype of a few South End restaurants. So happy that this was not a disappointment but instead ... a delicious, pleasant surprise. First, my BF made a reservation, but they only had outdoor seating. He made it anyway cuz of the "warm" days we've been having, but it ended up being a rainy day. Before he could cancel, the restaurant called him to see if he wanted the indoor seating that just opened up. I am so appreciative and thankful that they called. Such great customer service!!! Second, the drinks and food were amazing!!! I got wine. I normally hateeeee getting a glass of wine at places because of the price and the weak pours, but Coppa surprised me with its generous pour ... so much so that I got a second glass. Hehehe!!! With regards to the food, I think they're considered "small plates", but the portions of good size. We still shared, but we didn't feel like we were getting scammed with the portions. The flavors of the dishes were extremely yummy and had a little extra pizzazz ... making me want more. I definitely recommend the salad and truffle pasta that I got. (See pix.) Downsides ... just that the place was so tiny ... and the tiramisu. Sorry. My BF really liked the tiramisu because he loves Nutella. It just wasn't my thing. Wasn't very tiramisu-y. With regards to the smallness of the restaurant, I get really claustrophobic, but this place was so amazing ... I'm letting it slide. Even the service was exceptional!!! No snobby vibe at all. We were given seats at the bar, and the bartender was so friendly and attentive. I hope she knows how great is she is!!! Also, there was a younger gentleman that was preparing some food in that same area. I think it was like his first or second day. He was working so hard and putting such care in what he was doing. I love to see that!!! Especially nowadays ... where it seems like no one wants to work. Anywayyyyy ... GO HERE!!! You won't be disappointed!!! read more

Coppa is a small popular Italian tapas style restaurant located in the South End. They have about 10 or so small tables inside that are tightly packed together. The table that I had with my friends was uncomfortably close to the next table. The drinks were not that good. We ordered the Jungle Bird (rum, lime, and pineapple) and Lite on the Tini (vodka, apple liquor, and honey). The Jungle Bird was okay, but kinda basic. The Lite on the Tini tasted like drinking incenses or perfume. I was surprised at the quality and lack of decoration for these drinks since they were $16 each. For appetizers, we ordered the Arancini (stuffed fried rice balls) and Passato di Carote (roasted hummus). These were decent and they also gave us complimentary bread. For the main courses, the Capesante Di Mare (scallops, squid ink, and mussels) and Mushroom Pizza were good. It is all tapas style so the portions are smaller than you would expect. The Salsiccia Pizza was okay, but a meat lovers pizza from Domino's would've been better. The service was good, and our server was friendly and checked on us a lot. Of note, there is a 3% kitchen fee applied to all bills. Overall, with the high prices, bad drinks, and okay food, I think this restaurant is over-rated and there are better Italian options nearby. read more
