About Coppa
Coppa is a neighborhood favorite, known for its cozy atmosphere and
inventive Italian small plates created by James Beard Award-winning Chef Ken Oringer.
Coppa is open for INDOOR dining
Dinner service seven days a week
Coppa has a seasonal menu that changes regularly to highlight local and regional flavors.
Our beverage menu changes continuously as well to feature as many small producer, natural, and
minimal intervention wine producers as possible, while serving seasonal beer and cocktails as well!
Tucked away on a cozy corner of the South End, Coppa is the perfect destination to host your next event. Our intimate dining room and long bar is perfect for buffet style events or seated dinners. From wedding receptions to holiday parties, we want to celebrate with you, Coppa-style. Email info@coppaboston.com to inquire about hosting your next private event with us.
