Nestled in Boston's quaint South End, Coppa is a charming enoteca vibing with Italian small plates, fresh pasta, and wood-fired pizzas that promise a delightful culinary escape.
"You could come to this tiny, corner enoteca on Shawmut just for the excellent pizza, but then you’d be a boring, one-dimensional person. Instead come here for the pizza, and the great small plates and charcuterie. That way, you’ll be a complex person with a variety of interests (interests that all seem to revolve around Italian food, but still)." - dan secatore
"Coppa is pretty much the perfect neighborhood Italian restaurant, filled with light from a wall of windows and plenty of excellent pasta. Go for the cavatelli with chicken sausage, soppressata pizza, and the Italian grinder loaded with cured meats and pickled cherry peppers that could give a full-time sandwich shop a run for its money. We love posting up in the colder months at the bar to eat enough charcuterie to forget the wind chill has dipped below freezing levels. " - tanya edwards, joel ang, dan secatore
"This South End enoteca from Toro duo Jamie Bissonnette and Ken Oringer has been open for more than a decade. The team does a particularly good job with cheese and cured meats; definitely get the beef heart pastrami when available. But don’t forget the pastas: The cavatelli is a must." - Tommy Ranucci, Eater Staff
"You’ll see charges similar to the ones at Rye and Apothecary at restaurants like Republique (factoring in 'competitive industry compensation') and A.O.C. in Los Angeles, and Coppa in Boston." - ByMaggie Hennessy
"Coppa, an intimate neighborhood enoteca, has been operating for a dozen years. It is meant to be more like a tiny spot on a dead-end street in Rome, making pasta in-house and cooking pizza in a wood-burning oven." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
