This farm to table restaurant delivers! I had the milk fed
This farm to table restaurant delivers! I had the milk fed lamb which was delicious. I've not had lamb quite that tasty and it was absolutely based on the quality of the ingredients. The spider crab appetizer was unique and light. My husband ordered the fried seafood platter which may have stolen the show. I will be back next time I am in Venice!

This restaurant needs a professional chef because whoever is preparing the food doesn't know anything and the presentation of the dishes is horrible. I ordered a carpaccio and it came with mayonnaise in the center, no arrucula salad, nothing. I've never seen this and I'm the daughter of Italians and this restaurant in Venice doesn't make sense, it doesn't have anything Italian about it. I think the food is prepared and frozen. Simply horrible, not worth what they charge. The waiter is super arrogant and the service is also horrible. Very disappointed and very expensive for horrible food and service . Zero stars.
Be the first to ReplyGreat service and atmosphere.
The food was great, we had special pasta and the fried sea food main. It was the best calamari I've ever had.
Be the first to ReplyThis place was just delightful.
Only just tucked away from the hubbub of the crowds, this restaurant is easily accessible and still gives you a quaint, cozy feel while you dine there al fresco. The service was exquisite and the food was absolutely delicious.
Be the first to ReplyAl Covo was given a top recommendation by some friends I
Al Covo was given a top recommendation by some friends I trust. I was planning to visit Venice and made an Al Covo visit a priority for my party during our two night stay. Unfortunately, we did not have the experience we hoped to have. While the atmosphere was nice (we ate on the patio on a warm evening), the food was good, but not exceptional. Service was very uneven throughout as well. To elaborate, the menu suggested more classic, simple preparations and that is what we received. However, only one or two of the dishes (from appetizers to entrees to sides) ordered amongst eight of us jumped out as outstanding. One that did jump out was the seasonal squash blossoms stuffed with ricotta -- the fresh flavors of the squash blossoms coupled with the cheese came through very well. They were cooked delicately and very well. The other dish that was simple and tasty was their tagliolini with spider crab and roe. Again, simple dish with great ingredients and good flavors! Other dishes we had included a tuna carpaccio special, their prawns catch of the day, a swordfish catch of the day, Adriatic sole with artichokes, and a fresh vegetable side (zucchini, potatoes, peppers). These dishes were unfortunately "mid" (just okay) and less than memorable for a five-star restaurant with Michelin recognition. The prices of the dishes were as-expected for a high-end restaurant with a solid reputation -- the value just wasn't close to there for us this night. On the service side, we had one outstanding server who was charming, witty and attentive and another (sommelier?) who provided wine list guidance that did not have the same approach and seemed to do the bare minimum. I asked for a good local white wine to pair with a couple of the dishes we ordered (tagliolini with spider crab, Adriatic sole and prawns special). I was immediately offered a Soave from the list -- interestingly, it was the lowest-priced offer from their white wine list. Interested in something that might be a step or two up in quality, I asked about the more mid-priced wines on his list. He offered the next Soave (same label) and wasn't really willing to talk about the higher priced varietals on his list or ask any questions about what I drink or like to drink -- really odd for a sommelier. I ended up getting a single vineyard wine from the same vintner as the one he originally recommended. Unfortunately, that wine was not very good -- I would have preferred to spend 2x as much to get a better wine. It was also odd to us that our silver was not changed between courses. Our server took our clearly used silver from our appetizer plates and placed them back on our settings. Not the biggest deal, but not what I'd expect from a high-end place like this. Lastly, we made specific reference to food allergies in our party as requested at the time of our reservation. Our servers had no knowledge of this and were accommodating to these by pointing out the allergen notes in the menu (very well done), but we were told we had to stick to what worked in the menu -- no further accommodations could be made by the kitchen. This ended up being very limiting to the member of our party who had dairy, nuts and shellfish allergies. I wanted to cast this off to a bad day for the restaurant, but our sample size was pretty large and we had a far superior dining experience elsewhere in Venice for far less than the cost of Al Covo. I know others have had better experiences, but I will prefer to explore the many other great places in Venice before considering coming back.
Be the first to ReplyWe had a wonderful dinner at Al Covo in May.
We were able to eat outside which was very pleasant although missed the interior ambiance! Our server was fairly attentive but also enjoyed some food delivery and fun discussion with the owner. She was delightful!
Be the first to ReplyAl covo was the highlight of our trip to Italy.
The service was impeccable and the servers were very knowledgeable about all of the dishes and made good recommendations. The restaurant was beautiful! We had the tomato pasta with burata and pork schnitzel and both were perfectly done. Even the timing of the service was amazing and elegant. The homemade Venetian chocolate and hazelnut gelato was Devine and I am still thinking about it.
Be the first to ReplyGreat food and service.
One of the best restaurants in Venice. Menu focuses on local ingredients and the chefs highlight the local produce and seafood.

Good service Best calamari I've ever had!!! FRESH and amazing Of course the environment was amazing as well, LOOK WHERE YOU ARE haha Nice people Would definitely come back here to eat again when I'm in that part of Italy ! Food was amazing all of it and loved the bread
Be the first to ReplyNeed reservations! When we arrived they had to turn away
Need reservations! When we arrived they had to turn away several people because they were booked. We booked it a month in advance.Let me say that the food was astonishing!The soft shell crab, the egg Sammy, the spider crab, the ceviche! The sole!Ugh.... It was so good. I dun like giving 5 stars but the experience and the food was spectacular.Service was amazing, ambiance was amazing, the food! I wish I could come back.
Be the first to ReplySlow food movement inspired.
True ingredients from the lagoon of Venice.
Be the first to ReplyClearly a very popular place.
They were fully booked for lunch and we saw them turn away a lot of ppl. The food was good overall, though some of the dishes were a bit salty for our taste. My fav thing was probably the fried sardines that they gave with the bread. FYI for those new to Italy, apparently it's rude/weird to ask for tap water in restaurants. We did not knowing and got some very strange looks. Learn from our mistake and just pay the few euros for bottled still water :)

Taking my family to Al Covo has been the highlight of my trip to Venice. The atmosphere was refined yet cozy - the service was stellar - and the food incredible. We asked our waiter (Richard) to surprise us and pick out our meals for us. He did not disappoint! We started with the best ceviche I've ever had. It was super fresh and it reminded me of high end sashimi. The fish was perfectly balanced with acid and texture. That taste was the single best bite i had in my entire European trip. What followed that were several courses of interesting and unique local dishes that had us all smiling and and excited for then next treat. We finished with sharing several of Diane's homemade desserts. All were so good that I'm glad we tried all of them - but the Dark Chocolate cake was so good we had to order a second piece! Trust me - don't skip Diane's Chocolate cake - it is beautifully decadent! As I enjoyed my dinner - I came to see that there is something very special about Al Cova and the family that owns and runs it. Diane and Cesare, along with their son, were very welcoming. You can see the passion and love they have for Venice and their restaurant in their interactions with many of the guests. Big smiles and hugs were plentiful as patrons arrived or left. This experience is one that my family and I will cherish for many years to come.
Be the first to ReplyAl Covo was a like finding a spindle of gold in a haystack.
They are a part of the slow food movement and their detail to fresh fare will not disappoint. The owners are lovely and also own CoVino which also a magnificent dining experience. The squid ink pasta is out of this world and I dream of flying from the states to Venice just to return to this cuisine Oasis that exists in a land of sub par tourist traps. Go! You will not be disappointed.
Be the first to ReplyGreat place, great food, great service.
Fantastic experience! We really had a great time after few bad choices in Venice this one was finaly the pure Venice experience.
Be the first to ReplyVenice is a difficult when making choices on where to dine.
There are many that sound great, and do not meet expectations. I did a fair amount of research of reviews, and was drawn to Al Covo. We were visiting from Austin Texas which is where Diane and Caesar (owners) met back in the 80's. Texans are a family, so we had to make a stop. Al Covo exudes class without being over the top. The art, flowers, and decorations gave us a warm feeling as if at someones home. All of our food from fish dishes, meat, and pasta were fantastic. There is pride in the kitchen and it shows. Diane welcomed us as only a Texas can and chatted about her journey from Lubbock to Milan. She is a ball of fire and a lovely host and made us feel very special to the point the locals peered over to see what was going on. It was a fun last night in Venice. Thanks again for a wonderful evening which we still talk about with our friends back in Texas.
Be the first to ReplyWe wanted to go somewhere on the nicer side on our last
We wanted to go somewhere on the nicer side on our last night in Italy and found this place. It was pouring out so we were able to get a table for 2 without a reservation as a party had cancelled.It was a beautiful restaurant. We were thinking of doing the tasting menu, but we saw enough apps and entrees that we wanted to try so we decided to forgo the surprise. The complimentary bread and pumpkin soup served in a tiny cute bowl were great. We split the clam pasta and seafood gnocchi. They were very different from the pasta dishes that we had been getting. For the entrees, my friend got the swole fish and I got the tagliata. Both were excellent. In general, everything was so cleanly done. We were satisfied and didn't feel terribly full despite how much we ate and drank. But nothing was mouth watering delicious that made me think I had to come back if I were in Venice again in the future. Also, they didn't know they had a problem with the card machine until after our meal, which was understandable given the bad floods that they had. What was concerning was how little they cared that to use the ATM that was nearby, we had to pay a 4 euro fee as well as a 12 percent fee on what we took out. We didn't mind paying the fee as there's no expectation to tip in Europe/Italy, but we were just surprised by how they handled it.
Be the first to ReplyFour and a half stars.
The staff is super friendly. The restaurant seating is comfortable, not too cramped. The food is good and the chef really made an effort to make the dishes unique and special. There was a dark chocolate pasta dish that was really tasty and likely not to be found elsewhere. I thought the dinner was overpriced compared to other restaurants in Venice but this was near Piazza San Marco and had celebrity photos on the wall thus the mark up.

Six of us on an Italian holiday had a delicious and memorable lunch at Al Covo. We sought it out based on a friend's recommendation. We didn't have a reservation and were initially turned away (we believe because we looked like tourists), but alas a table opened up. Service was impeccable and food quality superb. I had the pasta faggiole soup (19 Euros) for a smallish but delicious soup. If you go, go all out and splurge with all courses and wine.
Be the first to ReplyCame highly recommended but turned out underwhelming.
Yes, the service was very nice but the food was nothing special. On balance of food/overall experience and price this is a NO for me.

A hidden Gem!!! Please find your way here and enjoy the fantastic food! We came here the first time 26 years ago for our honeymoon and have sent countless friends here! Al Covo never disappoints!!! We have returned 26 years later and it's perfection!!! Bravo to you Cesare Paulo and Diane!!! Can't wait to come back for more of your delizioso dishes! Grazie!!!
Be the first to ReplyQuaint ambiance and nice hospitality.
We went for the chef's tasting menu which consisted of a variety of small bites coming from the kitchen. Some were innovative and interesting, while others were lackluster. One of them was reminiscent of fish and chips, in the words of the other couple sitting near us. Overall, I would recommend coming to the restaurant but perhaps avoiding the tasting menu and ordering specific dishes instead.Remember that reserving in advance is recommended.
Be the first to ReplyThis is an amazing dining experience.
We had reservations but decided to wait for a outside table. During the wait, head waiter brought us Prosecco gratis! Dinner was fantastic. Linguine and clams as a starter was perfect, as was beef and seafood sampler for the mains. Best bottle of Nebbiolo I ever ordered. Owner came out and offered desserts (she is also the pastry chef). Out of this world cheese cake and sorbet. If in Venice, you have to put this restaurant on your list.
