The bar maintains some of its history from previous restaurants but features a new Italian beverage program.

Coperta, a new restaurant from Beast + Bottle's chef Paul Reilly and co-owner Aileen Reilly, features the cuisine of Rome and Southern Italy. Think beyond spaghetti and red sauce to a daily selection of small bites, a mozzarella bar serving cheese and salumi, housemade pastas and impeccably sourced meats and seafood. Coperta is open daily for dinner at the corner of East 20th Avenue and Logan Street. All photos by Danielle Lirette.
