The chicken parm was great but the penne had no flavor whatsoever. The bruschetta was also pretty bland and not that great. The bread was harder than it should be. However, the house bread was delicious!!! The service was also excellent.

I can't say enough about the food and service. The homemade pasta here was first class with flavors that melded together perfectly. The starters were plentiful for the whole table. The wine list was diverse and complimented the food perfectly. I definitely recommend you stop in and give them a try.

Delicious Italian food. Loved the Neri black pasta with shrimps! The salmon we tried was awesome! Great service. Calm, relaxed atmosphere. We visited twice the restaurant. We used the nearby valet parking next block.

We made a reservation here for mother's day hoping it would be a wonderful experience. It was not. When we made the reservation, we weren't told that there would be a prefix menu. Luckily we asked if we could order off of the regular menu and we were allowed to do that. The server spoke very softly and it was loud in the restaurant. He seemed very inconvenienced by us. Another server came to take our plates before we were done. The tables were very close together and I bumped the table behind me a few times. The food was sub-par. The bread basket was VERY disappointing (6 1/2 inch baguette slices for 4 of us and they said they would charge for a refill). The calamari appetizer was plain. The spaghetti a la carbonara came out so hot that it split, leaving serval tablespoons of oil at the bottom of the bowl. We skipped dessert so we could get out of there. For 4 people, our bill was $270 with tip. This was WAY overpriced. We won't be back.Parking: Parking was tricky. We parked about 2 blocks away. No valet parking.Wheelchair accessibility: There was one step to get into the restaurant.

The restaurant is very nice decorated, the service excellent and also the food, there was a young man playing soft music with the guitar and they said they change very other weekend to piano and violin. I would highly recommend it.

Met with two friends that I had not seen in a while gir lunch at Coppola's. Tried to use a 10% discount from “The Gables Mag” but was told it only applied to dinner. The coupon did not specify it was for dinner only. I was not happy about this as I had misled my friends about the discount.

I got wheat pasta with bolognese sauce... it tasted like the chef had never heard of seasonings before. There was zero flavor whatsoever in the sauce/meat. The pasta was cooked fine, but it was so entirely flavorless that it didn't matter how the pasta was cooked. Also, I couldn't even complain about how the food tasted because our waiter didn't come check on us until we finished our meals. They never refilled the bread, either.

Very few tables occupied by 8 pm. 4 max. If it had been busy 2 person tables would be too close. Service is quick even felt rushed. Food is ok but I'm one and done for this option. Caesar alright not memorable. Calamari cooked right but bland marinara. Seafood pasta with marinara looked like red was added to white sauce. Smallest mussels and clams I ever saw. Another diner sent the same dish back. There are really good Italian places so why go here.

The provoletta was cold. My chicken piccata was soggy, tough and rubbery. My husband's fettuccine alfredo was also cold and the chicken was rubbery and tough as well. Very disappointing. The wine was tasty.

La comida es un 7.5-8... la carne del antipasto estaba como hervida... mis pastas no parecian recien hechas, y la volida tardo muchísimo! El servicio súper antipático... inclusive vinieron a preguntarnos porlos postres cuando aun no habiamos recibido la comida!

It is a small space. I would do without the live music. It's not necessary for such a small place. My son ordered a chicken dish... the chicken was not just undercooked, it was raw. It was nice of them to cook the entire dish over but it took some time. They also offered two extra glasses of wine. So, I would say, it was not the best experience but they tried to make it right for us. I would not go back ?

We really have wanted try this restaurant for a long time. Maybe we should have kept waiting,,, I have not ever had a more dry tough chicken breast in my life , I ordered the chicken saltamboco so salty and dry it was uneatable .our waiter was nice but he poured our last bit of water out of our bottle and set it on the table I couldn't figure out what we were going to do with a empty bottle of water!! Worst meal I have had in a long time , my husband ordered mahi mahi it was way over cooked as well , vegetables were tasteless,, . A really bad experience

Good service and good food. Lots of menu options, something for everyone and good portion sizes. The bruschetta trio was delicious. My only complaint was that it cost me $5 just to get marinara sauce on the pasta that came with my chicken parmesan instead of oil. But overall, I would recommend it and we would go back.

Great place to have lunch or brunch. The carbonara is amazing and on saturday’s and sunday’s brunch you get free mimosas or sangria with your meal. Friendly staff. Wonderful!

Overvalued, will be a nice place for everyday lunch if prices wouldn't be unreasonable high. Normal food at price of 5 star Michelin restaurant type doesn't make sense; no wonder the place is empty
