Coppola's Bistro Coral Gables

Met with two friends that I had not seen in a while gir lunch at Coppola’s. Tried to use a 10% discount from “The Gables Mag” but was told it only applied to dinner. The coupon did not specify it was for dinner only. I was not happy about this as I had misled my friends about the discount.

Very poor service. We had to ask to please take our order after waiting and waiting.

Seems like more of a tourist trap than a neighborhood Italian restaurant

I got wheat pasta with bolognese sauce... it tasted like the chef had never heard of seasonings before. There was zero flavor whatsoever in the sauce/meat. The pasta was cooked fine, but it was so entirely flavorless that it didn't matter how the pasta was cooked. Also, I couldn't even complain about how the food tasted because our waiter didn't come check on us until we finished our meals. They never refilled the bread, either.

Excellent food, very flavorful, quick service. Great ambiance.
