Bill Addison's review: "A lilting rendition of cacio e pepe, ricotta gnocchi with perocino and pepper but with the addition of nasturtium butter that gave the dish an herbaceous lift." Read more

Can't say anything negative - well worth the wait! Highly recommend the meatballs, squid ink pasta, parma pizza, and the affogato w/ sweet cream gelato. Each delicious bite left me craving for more!

Fantastic menu, loved the arancini, beef tartare crostini, wild boar pepparadelle, and gelato. Truly unique and inventive Italian cuisine!

Coppa dishes out many homemade pastas, including a delightful Rigatoni con Sugo — a traditional pasta sauce comprised of cured pork cheek, Pecorino cheese and tomato — topped with sage and Parmesan. Read more

The pasta menu is dynamic. However, literally everything you get at Coppa will pop your eyes out. magical flavours and delightful. Don't forget to try Arancini Di Fontal

At this South End spot, they make the best Italian Greyhound. And from orange to rhubarb, love all the bitters this small-plate Italian spot uses. The drink made with Punt e Mes is a current favorite. Read more

Wow was the food here amazing! The menu changes regularly, but don't only stick with pizza. Go for as many options as you can! You won't be let down.

The pizza at brunch was amazing, the crust was crispy with a perfect amount of chew, and well balanced toppings. Too bad the people who ordered eggs got them 10 minutes before the pizzas came out.

Tons of delicious options - even for vegetarians!!! Had a wonderful birthday lunch there and were shocked by the explosions of flavor on our tastebuds! 💥💥💥

Perfect spot for a date in South End. Don’t over order like we did... A cold cuts board and a salad are more than enough food, as the portions are quite big.
Cindy BackmanSeptember 18, 2017
The Cavatelli and Rigatoni pasta dishes are so very good. Great flavor. Also try the Risotto and Cheese balls! Sorry for the bad spelling.

Chaos. Tasty, tasty chaos. Tiny, insanely crowded, and totally wonderful. It's a neighborhood party with great food: small plates, salumi, pasta, and pizza crafted from local, seasonal ingredients. Read more
Kyle ByeOctober 15, 2015
You're in for an amazing Italian meal. Order a bunch of small plates to share, make sure to throw in at least one order of meatballs and squid ink pasta!
Boston.comJuly 31, 2013
Try the "Aperol Spritz" to pretend you’re people watching on the streets of Italy: grab a seat at one of the outdoor tables with this classic cocktail made of aperol, prosecco, and soda in hand. Read more
Enrico ManaloOctober 5, 2018
Beautiful little spot with amazing polpette, arancini, and bucatini with guanciale. Also try the carbonara with sea urchin.

To complement its housemade pastas and fantastic charcuterie selection, Coppa serves up a Salsiccia Pizza with tomato, pork sausage, ricotta, roasted onion and fennel pollen. Read more

Great food from pizza, charcuterie, wine, dessert, can't say enough how amazing the food, atmosphere & overall experience was.
Rheya ShanoJanuary 20, 2019
The arancini, meatballs, carbonara con riccio di mare, and cavatelli con pollo were all perfection, and the tiramisu was one of the best I’ve ever had!
Jeremy KrantzAugust 22, 2014
Do yourself a favor and get a charcuterie plate to split. Then wash it down with one of their amazing pizzas such as their burrata bianca one. Everything is good.
Cole KennedyJuly 18, 2022
I can’t believe I went 30+ years without having a Celery Caesar Salad. Possibly the best salad I’ve ever had? Get it.
Blake SirachAugust 24, 2014
Rustic Italian small plates. Get a bottle of a big Tuscan red, a salumi or two, and enjoy the tasty meats and pastas over an evening. Perfect!
Sofia UzSeptember 22, 2015
Cool place to hang out, have sangria or aperol spritz, maybe pizza. A little small for proper dinner. Cozy, trendy. Very South end eatery
Ilse OrtegaMarch 10, 2016
Doughnut balls with nutella...OMG! Make sure you leave some space for dessert. Cozy and yummy place! Awesome service. Gals we came!
EDUARDO ROMEROMarch 19, 2017
You can walk in without reservations. If there are no tables available you can sit at the bar. Give the local sodas a try. They're delicious.
Andrew BurgessAugust 30, 2015
The pig bone and tails were awesome! You can also tell a good Italian place by the Meatballs and bread, and they were delicious here ☺
Flavio MuffOctober 16, 2017
probably one of the hottest place in town right now. rigatoni and meatballs are to die for! vegetables are delicious too.
Erica CasoAugust 20, 2016
Trendy, nice outdoor seating, amazing server, octopus salad, meatballs, mushrooms and last but not least the lobster pasta is a must!
Rebecca MazzaSeptember 11, 2016
Great pasta and don't skip the tiramisu! Great wine selection and service as well
Nick MontoyaSeptember 5, 2013
The beef tongue & bone marrow pizza was unlike anything I've ever tried. For appetizers, you can't miss with the duck prosciutto or arancini.
Neal JainApril 7, 2016
All around solid pick for everything. Pizza of course and the pastas. Small cozy environment with good people working
Gianna NebbiaNovember 14, 2015
The amount of flavor incorporated into every single dish at Coppa is unbelievable. (Pic of tripe bruschetta)
Lily XuAugust 6, 2016
Amazing dishes all around: sea urchin panini, marinated mushrooms, lobster gemelli and the salumi & cheese board.
Michelle C.July 24, 2012
Boston Magazine named this restaurant best Casual Itallian in 2012. Try the meatballs and cauliflower with ricotta salata. Also, try the squid-ink pasta with lobster.
The FeastJune 10, 2011
Order a refreshing cocktail and chill with a plate of warm salt cod crostini, a wood-fired pizza, or one of Chef Jamie Bissonnette's many porcine offerings like pig's ear terrine with yuzu aioli. Read more
Robert FanningFebruary 13, 2017
Crostini, tongue and sea urchin panning, duck and squash pasta, chicory and citrus salad, all magnificent
Dana VillmoreMay 27, 2013
Great pasta dishes and the arancini were delicious :) also, damn good olive oil cake (trust me it's wonderful) and tiramisu!
Elynn LeeMarch 31, 2018
Carbonara has an extremely strong black pepper taste that overpowers everything else. The tagliatelle with pork sugo was tasty.
M HOctober 20, 2016
Super delicious pizza. Try the arancini! The catch of the day was served with way too much garlic though.

I'm always here for the house salad and carbonara. It's one place that does it right.
Meredith JohnstonJuly 28, 2013
Charcuterie plate was so delicious, and loved the Parma pizza with an egg on top. Great spot to grab a table outside.
Adriana VasiniJuly 4, 2016
Love the ragú pasta💖 everything was delicious!! Definitely coming back soon to try new plates !
Rebecca YiSeptember 22, 2016
Came for drinks - service was awesome and the food looked delicious! Cozy and trendy yet casual.
Tiffany LopinskyMay 31, 2016
You have to get the Charcuterie plate!
Appropriately CriticalJanuary 17, 2017
The people charged with managing the reception of customers, promised seating within 40min then doubled it once we arrived 5 min later. Mostly it's not a problem unless there's health reasons.

Small plate Italian eats from Kjamie Bissonnette and Ken Oringer. Fresh takes on some classics and some new combinations, but all delish! -Tania Peterson, Top Chef Just Desserts
AazAugust 3, 2015
Everything we ordered was amazing with so many varying flavors and textures. Drinks are pricey though.
Boston PhoenixJune 29, 2010
Meatballs al forno is one of the great meat dishes in Boston, and since the owners are deep into house-made charcuterie, you must have something off the nine-deep salumi list.Read more: http://the Read more

Small spot that's great for eating at the bar solo. Beef carpaccio was awesome!
Adam GlickApril 5, 2010
Amazing food. Sweetbread saltambocca was spectacular, also lived the asparagus, the meatballs, the pasta with the chicken sausage, and even the calf's brain ravioli. Yum. Great service-thanks Geneva

Brunch and pizza are the best value (and really delicious).
