Coppola is a Italian restaurant among the sea of Indian restaurants in Gramercy/Murray Hill area. The servers were amazing and the food was solid.
I was here for a meeting and lecture on a rainy night.
We got to sit in the spacious downstairs dining room, which was arranged for the lecturer.
The staff was quick to get our drinks, fill our orders, make sure we were comfortable and that we wouldn't trip on the wires.
The waiters were charming and funny. You felt flattered without feeling creeped out. The girls at my table giggled at their jokes.
I ordered the calamari, jumbo shrimp parmigiana and the cheesecake.
The calamari was crispy and perfectly cooked, but a bit oily. I was hungry after the lecture that I devoured the whole dinner plate, plus the crumbs.
Too bad, because I was too full to fully enjoy the jumbo shrimp and the linguine.
The linguine was cooked well done, with a great tomato sauce. Some of the shrimp was deveined, others were not.
The cheesecake was light and fluffy, had some strawberry sauce and a slightly crisp graham cracker crust.
Too bad I was way too full.
Thank you guys for hosting us!
What attracted us was the name. We went to Francis Ford C's place in Napa and thought it quite good. Apparently there's no affiliation.
There were two things that stand out in the NY Coppola's: bruschetta, placed gratis on the table. Delicate flavors, very tasty. And the pasta. Cooked al dente. Perfect.
Our entrees were good, albeit typical. A 'parm' kinda night for me and my daughter, she got chicken, I chose eggplant. My husband's decision was more interesting. Chicken Toscana with mozarella, ricotta and spinach. Side salads are extra with no signature touch.
We rounded out our meal with a bottle of decent cab, at ~ $36. Our waiter, a dead-ringer for The Rock, tried to sell what he deemed a 'much better' cabernet for $6 more, but this was fine.
All in all, a good meal, a pretty restaurant and a nice evening out with my family.
Coppola's gets 5 stars for service alone. I had called in advance to ask if they were handicap accessible since my father uses a motorized wheelchair and we wanted to go here for lunch. Joseph (who turned out being the GM) guaranteed me it was since we could take the building entrance. When I arrived, I used the restaurant entrance and Joseph along with 2 other staff members were quick to open the doors, move tables, and seamlessly get my father into the restaurant.
Once we were seated, we were handed the food menu, the specials, and the wine list. My father was set on getting braciole while the tortellini immediately caught my eye. We were not rushed whatsoever and our beverages along with a bread basket came out quick. The food was absolutely delicious and we both polished off our plates. My tortellini was amazing and the cream sauce made it even better. Once we completed our meal, Joseph stopped by our table and chatted with is for quite a bit. He was genuine and funny, while also remaining professional. He is a great person to have a conversation with!
For dessert, my father got the ice cream and I go the chocolate chip cheesecake. My father requested extra whipped cream and sure enough, the waiter brought out an entire side of whipped cream. My cheesecake was amazing albeit heavy but to to the point I couldn't power through and finish it. 2 entrees, 2 desserts, 1 glass of wine, and 2 sodas all for $75. You really can't go wrong with that in Manhattan!
Pretty good Italian food with awesome service in the neighborhood – can't believe I haven't been here before!
It was a nice Saturday night and a few friends and I were looking for dinner, and were craving Italian. We were walking up and down 3rd ave and decided to check out Coppola's since they had some open outdoor seating and the menu looked good. We walked in and the hostess greeted us and asked us to a wait a few minutes while they got one of the few outdoor tables ready for us. She talked with us for a bit and was extremely pleasant – in fact, everyone at the restaurant was, from our waitress to the manager who walked over to our table twice to ask us how we were doing.
They have a small cocktail list (but a full bar to order anything you want), some beers on draft and in bottle, and a decent wine list. For appetizer, we split the stuffed mushrooms and the grilled eggplant parm. Both were really tasty, but overpowered by the red sauce that they came in. The stuffed mushrooms were bold and had a very spinach-garlic-y taste to them. The eggplant was cooked just right – not strainy, you could easily cut it up, but it didn't have much flavor to it, as it was all in the sauce. They don't need to drench their food in sauce in order for it to taste good…or just add some more spices/flavor to it.
For dinner, we split a margherita pizza and homemade spinach ravioli. The pizza was OK – for how much red sauce we had in our appetizers, the sauce was not the focus on the pizza. It's a thin crust, relatively small pie of pizza, and it's average. Honestly, nothing stood out to me, but isn't necessarily a bad thing. With the ravioli, I wasn't that impressed. I was hoping for something a bit less green-tasting, if that makes sense. The flavors of the spinach zucchini, mushroom, and asparagus gave the pasta a very bitter and mild taste. I put some parm cheese on it, and again, the sauce was a bit watery, which I was not expecting given the apps we ate. It wasn't terrible, but just different than what I was expecting it to taste like. Also, the menu mentions the raviolis is filled with zucchini, mushroom, and asparagus, but it was mainly on the side with the ravioli…not much was filled inside.
Overall, it's a solid place to come out to and enjoy a nice Italian meal and some drinks. The service is spectacular so you know you'll get taken care of. I am eager to come back and try something else.
I went to Coppola's for dinner with a large group (9 people) and had a lovely experience. I booked the reservation on Open Table and everything went smoothly. The restaurant itself is pretty and feels very open. The service was quick and the food was delicious. The sea bass and pizza were especially awesome. I would definitely recommend coming here for your next big group gathering!
Came here about a week ago when my parents were in town, had a group of 6 people, was a tad cramped for the booth. It was unfortunately too warm in the restaurant which was rather unpleasant and uncomfortable.
Decor/ ambiance was nice, service was solid.
Food was average, but I think this place has potential.
Wine recommendation was on point and reasonably priced.
For my main: I ordered the seared sea bass. It was perfectly cooked, the sear was great, but missed the mark in terms of flavor. Just seemed a bit lacking. The spinach underneath was likewise in lack of flavor and it was a tad oily as well. This dish could really be a home run, but someone needs to tweak it in a few areas, which seems to be a common thread on other dishes.
Bruschetta was provided as a complimentary app. My step mom is a great cook and makes really good bruschetta and this wasn't on par with hers. Her main was the Cappellini Coppola, which was actually pretty good. Nice garlic profile, with a light but flavorful wine touch, pasta was perfectly cooked again.
I tried a bite of someones parm dish too, was average (I mean I don't excited over parm in any case). If I recall correctly, think my dad had pork chops. He thought it was kind of average as well.
Grilled calamari – good but was overcooked/ a bit rubbery/ chewy
Overall this restaurant is probably just a little above average, but could easily move itself into a higher rating with some more attention to the food. For now, not a place I'd want to return to though as nyc has some amazing italian options.
This is REAL food! Good old school Italian, but with an updated twist. I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana which was so perfect! The side of spaghetti was almost a meal it-self, the sauce on it was a little, let's say "mild", but not bad.
I will soon be revisiting.
Fantastic service and amazing food!!!! It all started with the phenomenal complementary bruschetta then the yummy bread basket…. I never order pasta, but I got the Capellini Coppola and it was INCREDIBLE!!!! My brother got engaged mid-dinner and all of the waiters were thrilled 🙂
Amazing atmosphere too!! All of the owners were eating a late night meal when we were leaving, wished us the best… Definitely coming back!!
