Not memorable or romantic
Friday, July 21, 2006
I saw I Coppi on a TONY Time Warner Cable review on "Outside Gardens" and i thought it might be the perfect place for my boyfriend and I to go for our 1 Year Anniversary. It says on the Citysearch review that it's not recommended for kids...romantic...etc...but when we walked in on Friday night at 7:30, there was a giant family dining with 6 kids. I saw a fair share of senior citizens too. Granted, it was on the early side, but THIS IS THE EAST VILLAGE. What happened? A buzzkill, when i had dressed up in provovative chic. Our table was in the garden, which is tiny, and when i asked to sit at a bigger table, they said the 3 seaters are reverved for larger parties. 10 minutes later, a couple was sitting there. The Garden is ok, but it's covered. Our food was bland, and we didn't finish it. Wine List was good, service adequate. Trust me, and save it for a non occasion where you just need a place to go if you are in the neighborhood.
Pros: location
Cons: bland food, overhyped
