Small portions??? That's so NOT true!!

by jessica98

Me and my boyfriend been going to this restaurant in the last 2 years and we always have to share because their portions are huge!

Their foccacia and newly introduced onion bread is delicious! Lunch special for $19 is unbeatable and you must order their homemade cheesecake...Yummy!!!! I basically tried everything from the menu ...my favorite dish is the red snapper and my boyfriend loves the way they cook the pasta.. No question that it's our favorite restaurant AND the best thing is that they deliver, too! Make sure you make reservation for Fridays and Saturdays because the place is packed!

small portions

Had dinner here a few nights ago and it was very good! The portions are very small. But everything was fresh and tasted good. But everything I ordered tasted great! Service was friendly. Wine list was good!

Avoid Delivery (Dine in Service is Bad too)

by TheH

Food is very inconsistent. Also, delivery is atrocious. After about 50 minutes of waiting, I called to check on my food. The hostess said, "It's on it's way". When I called back 30 minutes later, she changed her story to, "It just left last time you called." She said she would call the delivery guy and phone me back - of course not. So I asked to speak to the manager...RUDE. He said if I refused the food, he would never deliver to me again. Uh, how about just plain old, "Sorry"?! Avoid delivery here. Overpriced too for the caliber of food. If you are in Murray Hill, Fagiolini is a better bet, though their delivery is very inconsistent too. But at least they are honest and apologetic when something goes wrong.

Pros: One of a few Italian places.
Cons: Not better Italian than a pizzeria. Service is terrible.

AMAZING FOOD even Britney Spears enjoyed Coppola's

by trendyv

I have to say, we had a GREAT time at Coppola's last night. Sitting right across from us was Britney Spears her group of friends and a film crew. Apparently its one of her favorite italian restaurants in the area. The entire experience was AMAZING from the FOOD to the Service To watching Britney eating pasta. I highly recommend Coppola's!!!

Pros: food!!
Cons: none!

Very unimpressed

by Linda0245

While the decor is nice and the waitstaff friendly, the food leaves a lot to be desired. It literally came out within five minutes of ordering, and was definitely not freshly made. It tasted as if it had been sitting around for awhile and quickly heated up in the microwave. We ended up paying $20 each for a glorified TV dinner. It was very surprising, given the other reviews here, and the emphasis on homemade meals that the restaurant touts itself for. Their website menu is also very outdated with both meals and prices, and is thus very misleading. We were very disappointed and won't be returning again.
