Reader report: I Coppi team opening new restaurant on Avenue A


I Coppi closed on East Ninth Street last month... However, EVG contributor Shawn Chittle has learned that the I Coppi team will be opening a new venture on Avenue A near East 12th Street ... in the space that previously belonged to the Vampire Freaks store...

There is now paper over the storefront on Avenue A ... and the for lease sign is gone. Workers have started transforming the space...


Per Shawn about the new space:

"Beer/wine only. Tuscan food. Restaurant won't be called I Coppi as of this writing. No opening date set." And we're not sure if all the former principals will be part of the new venture...

Whew. For more than a decade, i Coppi has been our go-to restaurant. In fact, my partner and I had our commitment party there as well as my graduation from grad school luncheon. I'll be happy to see Lorella again!

Does anyone know what is happening with the previous I Coppi location? Walked by it and it was just empty.. no for rent sign or anything. I think it would be perfect for my restaurant if only it was for rent.
