Coppa
Date-night Italian — intimate, reliable, cozy.
My Take
Coppa is the date-night spot I actually recommend. Small, candlelit, serious about food without being stuffy. The pasta is house-made, the wine list is thoughtful, and the vibe is romantic without trying too hard. The charcuterie is excellent if you want to start there.
Why It Matters
Most 'date night' restaurants in Boston are either too formal or too trendy. Coppa threads the needle — it's intimate and delicious without feeling like a production.
Best For
Date nights, anniversaries, impressing someone without being obvious about it
