A beautiful and romantic dining experience. The service, absolutely fantastic and warm, from the moment you step inside. Everyone on the team is looking to deliver a fantastic experience. You feel like family. The decor is warm, beautiful, and cozy. The food is the ultimate star though - we had the scallops, squid ink pasta, vongole pasta, and monkfish - blew us away. Don't even mention Diane's desserts, which capped off the evening amazingly. 100% recommend and would come back again.
A really really gorgeous restaurant. The food was amazing. Definitely get the bigoli in salsa which is a traditional Venetian pasta dish made from wholegrain flour pasta, anchovies, onion and cinnamon. My friend had a daily special pasta with asparagus, lemon, peas and a soft cheese or crème fraîche (I do not remember which). I also ordered the soft shell crabs as they were in season and they were very good. We strongly recommend that you end your meal not with tiramisu but with Diana’s chocolate cake. It is a masterpiece.
We dined at Al Covo for our final dinner in Venice and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant had a nice assortment of indoor and outdoor seating. A reservation was needed due to it being a very popular spot amongst tourists and locals. The service staff was extremely professional, knowledgeable of all dishes, and happy to help us in English. We tried the daily special scallops, vegetarian pasta, and sole. Every dish was cooked to perfection with unique flavors and plating. While we did not elect to have wine, their selection was extensive. They also had a wide variety of homemade desserts to complement the meal. Overall this is a very high end establishment that delivered a fantastic dinner service. Thank you Al Covo staff for knocking it out of the park!
We had a reservation at 20:30 but showed up 20 mins early as we were already around, they gave us our table and explained they could start serving us at the reservation time which was ok. We ate delicious food like Bigoli, soft shell crabs were amazing, oysters, scallops, gnocchi with squid ink and soup. Everything was really good except the soup which lacked flavor, it was really blend. Service was efficient and friendly.
What can I say?! Exquisite! This is not to be missed if you are looking for the freshest seafood, squid ink pasta, a great bottle of wine, exceptional service. Make a reservation in advance and then let the amazing staff guide you on a culinary experience. We had an antipasti seafood platter and a spider crab dish that kicked off the meal beautifully! We had a gnocchi and the squid ink pasta and then shared a sole dish and finished with a devil’s food cake and two glasses of amaro. The waiter gave a great white wine recommendation and we had a lovely seat to enjoy our meal. I’ll happily return upon every visit.
