    Amazing food! The staff is really friendly and they really know what they are doing. Well executed food [over my expectations] in a charming, trendy, romantic and cozy place. Totally worth it!

    If you only have 1 night in Venice, eat at Covino. Reservations = a must, and don't be late or Andrea will 100% give your table away. The house pasta with anchovies was amazing as was the cod mousse.

    Excellent 3 course menu with especially tasty heart carpaccio and beef cheeks and a great wine pairing. The staff were friendly and it feels like you're in someone's surprisingly romantic kitchen

    Plan to go here for one of your dinners in Venice. Email or have the concierge call in advance to reserve one of the 6 tables they have. Delicious €36 3-course menu from a former chef of Al Covo.

    Wine pairing was awesome and service was great. Small but mostly tourists, even in Feb. err on the earlier side; grabbing a water bus home after the 9:30 seating can be a real headache.

    Excellent. The waiter might seem a little rude but cauz he's an Italian passionate guy ! Pay attention, he proposes glass of wine for appetizer and desert, that you might think free of charges but no!

    Everything was divine (and that's not a word I use often in the context of food). The octopus appetizer, local squid entree, and cheese plate dessert were the highlights for us.

    A spinoff from beloved Al Covo, this tiny eatery delivers incredible spins on traditional Venezian cuisine from its miniscule kitchen. Only 5 tables so reserve for dinner. (We walked in for lunch.)

    You need to order in advance. But the food is just amazing in this tiny place. The best place we tried in Venice. Good value for money.

    The food is amazing. Kudos to the cook! However, be prepared for a very rude and aggressive waiter. My wife and I simply wanted to leave after our first interaction with him, who is also co-owner.

    Italian slow food. Very tasty with good organiser wines. Booking is compulsory as the place is very small : 16 seats only

    I was recommended the beef tartare and I selected the tremezzino to go with it; the wine pairing was perfect and cassata dessert - bufala ricotta w fruit jams and nuts - divine.

    Маленькое местечко с настоящей итальянской кухней для гурманов. Готовят при вас, здесь вы не встретите карбанару и прочие туристические блюда))
