Coppi's Organic

Review by cflinn622 on August 22, 2007

Enjoyed a nice dinner for two on a weekday evening. We both ordered a medium pizza, a bottle of wine and the peach dessert. The wine was very good, the pizza was okay and the dessert was so-so. At $17 for a pizza, I expected a lot more in terms of taste. The wine was very good, but at $33 a bottle, way overpriced, like the pizza. The peach dessert recommended by the waiter tasted burned. Overall, the ambiance was nice (not loud like seemingly every other DC place), and the service was attentive. The food was just not that great, especially given the price - very bad value.

At least it appears clean and the decorating is a very nice "bicycle racing" picture theme. The staff is noisy and , oh yeah, the food is mediocre at best. Don't be fooled by organic by any food seller (check out the FDA website). The pizza was tasteless except for the taste of the cucumbers, which were much more plentiful than the lamb saugage and the other toppings which were so small in generosity that I cannot remember what they were...I definately like cucumbers, but for a pizza I'd like a little more flavor with "them there cucumbers". We passed on the desert (after tasting the cucumber with hidden meat pizza) and had no alcohol. The waiter was very pleasant. We are the type of people who do not complain about the standards a restaurant maintains. We generally do not return. There were reservation cards on several tables, so we assume that they have either gone down hill (used to incredible), people like no flavor with their food, new customers reading old reviews were coming or several apology meals were being comped that evening.

Excellent pizzas that if eaten entirely leave no room for the excellent desserts.
Menu includes seasonal things, like the butternut ravioli and seared butternut squash salad. Autumn in a mouthful.

Organic and yummy! Pair a nice salad with a wood fired pizza and a great dessert. Don't miss the Kostricher (german black beer) on tap!

Coppi's Organic is an Italian restaurant with a good wine selection, good pizza and pasta. A solid restaurant and a much better choice than Utopia.

As a cyclist myself, I've always felt at home in Coppi's cycling-themed dining room. Until my last visit, I didn't realize Coppi's was famous among cyclists around the nation for its collection of Italian cycling memorobelia-- the table next to us was tourist who came to see the collection.
A wide selection of pasta, fish and chicken, and pizza complimented by daily specials all use the freshest ingredients, organic most often, and change according to the vegetable selections of the season. The wine list shows a diversity of Italian offerings and often includes a hidden treat- on our last visit, they offered a sparkling red wine, perfect for summer.

Coppi's has become a staple for us, with crisp brick oven pizzas at an affordable price.

This cozy charmer has been a long-time favorite to those in and around U Street. It's still a wonderful and dependable spot for dinner but the value of the meal has declined proportionately as the neighborhood has changed. The wine list is solid, albeit uninspired, and over-priced.
