Fans of Coppa Ristorante Italiano will have to make other plans to get their fill of spaghetti carbonara and Napolitano pizza. The Washington Avenue restaurant is closed until further notice due to a building maintenance issue.

Owned by Clark Cooper Concepts (Charles Clark and Grant Cooper), Coppa has suspended service “until further notice due to a building maintenance issue,” according to a statement Saturday evening.

No explanation was given about the type of building maintenance issue or how long the restaurant would be closed.

But the owners did provide a suggestion on where diners can satisfy their cravings for chef Brandi Key’s fare. Yes, their sister restaurants: “The owners and staff are so appreciative of your support and patronage throughout the years, and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future. In the meantime, we hope you will visit us all at one of the other Clark Cooper Concepts – Punk’s Simple Southern Food, Coppa Osteria, Ibiza, and Brasserie 19.”
