Al Covo Venezia Reviews
Special meal in Venice
I booked this for my wife's birthday as we were staying nearby whilst in Venice and the menu appealed to me. We had to book 3 weeks in advance just to get a 9pm booking on a Saturday night, so do your booking soon if you are thinking about it.
Still great after all these years!
Al Covo has become a tradition with us. We first came here over 20 years ago and it was one of the most memorable meals. We're happy to report that it still holds up. Lovely service and the food remains spot on. While it's filled with t
Fresh seafood and pasta
Fresh and delicious restaurant with good service. Everything was delicious! We ordered the delicious crudo appetizer and 3 different pasta dishes. Black ink, prawn, and mussels. They served us snails in garlic and parsley as an amuse bouche. It was t
What a wonderful meal at Al Covo trying the tasting menu.
We walked in around noon to see if they could take us without a reservation and were told to come back in half an hour when they open. So we wondered un the area and went back at opening time. The service was excellent and the food was even better.

A Wonderful Dining Experience! Al Covo was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious and full of flavor, and the dessert was just perfect. The staff were kind and professional, and the owner was incredibly warm and welcoming. Truly a place I'd
Incredible Seafood & Service
Al Covo is a charming little gem tucked away in Venice—intimate, welcoming, and focused on fresh, fish-forward dishes that absolutely shine. We had an unforgettable dinner here during our trip, and everything from the service to the food was top no
Refined experience
It was one of the more formal service restaurants we had in Venice. Everything was good. Welcome by the owner, although she did not check on us during the meal. Our area's waiter was not present initiaolly, so our order was taken by the sommelie
Very nice choice for dinner!
We had a very nice dinner and experience in this lovely restaurant on our first night in Venice. The food is fresh and authentic - in fact they intentionally plan their courses around having local and fresh ingredients. The ambiance is nice and they
Wow where do I begin? We came here because of the show
Wow where do I begin? We came here because of the show "Somebody Feed Phil" and to celebrate our honeymoon/my graduation - we were super excited and it was the only food reservation my husband and I made for our whole trip to Venice. Unfort
A particularly hospitable restaurant for traveling Texans
A particularly hospitable restaurant for traveling Texans as the owner is, I believe, from Lubbock.
We arrived 15 minutes early for our reservation.
We went into the restaurant and even though people were already inside eating they said that they were not open yet. We asked if we could sit at the bar and were told no and escorted us to the door and closed it behind us. When we finally went inside
Service was good.
Bread basket, horrible. Pasta dish was too salty. Definitely over rated. Disappointed.
Greta service at this restaurant! We came right at 2, as
Greta service at this restaurant! We came right at 2, as our train was late arriving and so didn't leave us many (good) options for lunch and this was close. They accommodated us still, and asked us to limit our ordering. No big deal we were the
I am very puzzled by all of the amazing 5-star reviews
I am very puzzled by all of the amazing 5-star reviews because Al Covo was really quite average. Maybe we were expecting too much, based on other reviews and the hype from TV shows. We had the raw seafood platter, squash blossoms, clam spaghetti, and
Not what I was expecting.
.... We had an OK experience at Al Covo. Frankly, I don't understand the hype about this place. We are at the tail end of a two week trip to Italy and have had incredible food almost everywhere. This night however was a real disappointment
Delicious dinner!
Amazing dinner at Al Covo! They managed to fit us in last minute on the terrace and it didn’t disappoint. The waiters are super friendly and helpful. Get the courgette flowers, crab pasta and the panna cotta! 😋😋 Go to this restaurant! 🤩
Don’t understand the hype!
Honestly the food was trying to reach for a white guide or michelin star. We ordered a starter, I can see how sad my salad was, it was old and basically crying. My main dish was mixed dried sea food, no flavor- I’ve had better for half the price.
Not one thing to complain about - just excellent
We were a group of four who had the tasting menu with wine pairings and there wasn’t one wrong note. Highly recommended! Will definitely visit again if there is an opportunity.
Believe the hype, Al Covo is excellent.
Possibly the best meal we had in Venice. The service and atmosphere are equivalent to the amazing food. Highly recommended.
Excellent Local Spot!
Often when traveling to Venice, one becomes enchanted by its mystery and glamour. However, when encountering the throngs of tourists who descend from cruise ships each afternoon, that illusion quickly disappears. So where should a more sophisticated
An unexpected disappointment
We have been to Al Covo on several occasions before and have always loved it. Our experience last night was quite different. There is a much reduced menu with starters the same price as the main courses - around Euros 35.00! The food was OK but no
Extraordinary
Since many years I got to know this extraordinary place. Back then, it was a well kept secret. Only locals eating here...Time passed and it became famous because the of the food, the service, the professional attention and every detail is taken care
Hidden Oasis in Venice
Small, cozy place and everything we ate was delicious. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Hidden oasis in Venice that felt like eating in someone's home.
WHAT. A. MEAL! Tucked into the dreamy streets of Venice,
WHAT. A. MEAL! Tucked into the dreamy streets of Venice, this restaurant is quite the culinary experience. Our waiter, sommelier & attendant were ever present, ready & willing to accommodate. We ordered the fried artichokes, beef cheeks
So disappointing !
So so disappointed!! Supposed to be highlight for Ruby Wedding weekend !! Overhyped … lots of choices not available - even Humous ( how difficult is that to make!!) Ambience is great but food basic and so over priced !! Don't bother !! At these
Not bad, not great - mostly overpriced
We came for dinner, and left rather disappointed. The staff is courteous, and attentive, but the food lacks flavor and inspiration. For the price we would have expected a bit more. We ordered fish for €30+ and got a bone with a small handful of mea
Amazing wine, dessert with a story
I chose this restaurant for my first trip in Venice because it is family-owned and I am so happy because it turned out to be a great choice. Went straight to the main with the brilliant cuttlefish stew, close with the traditional dessert and espresso
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
Portions are too small
Extremely reduced menu and although the food quality was good, the portions were way too small. It was quiet and the service was exceptional. The waiter spoke English and Spanish quite well.
Venice….the hidden gems to eat in!
We booked Al COVO after seeing Angela Hartnett’s Venice trip on the TV. We had an amazing time at the restaurant; the ambience was great, a really help waiter who tried to apologise for his poor English (in perfect English!) Food was delicious, the
Not worth the hype. Dine elsewhere.
I saw this restaurant on a tv show and was incredibly excited to visit. I was left disappointed. Everything we ate was good, I cannot fault the food it was better than average (though I wouldn’t say incredible). The service however was one of the w
Once..and done
Have wanted to try Al Covo for years, we finally went last month. And were incredibly disappointed with the food. Heavy and pretty bland. Thinking maybe the chef was off or had an off night? Service was friendly though we felt we were rushed out of t
This restaurant needs a professional chef because whoever
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 ne
Great 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.
This 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.

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 at
We 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!
Al 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 timi
Great food and service.
One of the best restaurants in Venice. Menu focuses on local ingredients and the chefs highlight the local produce and seafood.
Al Covo is amazing!
This restaurant deserves all of the stars! It was one of the highlights of our visit to Italy. The staff is highly professional and the owners are warm and inviting. The food is absolutely superb. We had several courses, drinks, wine and desserts. Ev

Honeymoon
Lovely atmosphere, attentive Crew and fresh products. We were able to secure a last minute table and we didn't regret our visit!
Wonderful dinner experience
My wife and daughter and I had dinner here on December 9, 2022, at the suggestion of Sandro, the sommelier at The Gritti Palace hotel. I immediately recognized the restaurant from the Netflix show, Somebody Feed Phil. What a treat! The food, ambiance
Lovely staff and great food
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. We shared the soft shell crab to start and I had the monkfish kebab for main, both were great.
Found an absolute gem
Managed to get a late slot for lunch at Al Covo. Everything was fabulous. Beautiful setting. Staff very friendly and attentive. Venetian water glasses, huge beautiful linen napkins, attention to details on cutlery china etc. Very smart and friendl
Need reservations! When we arrived they had to turn away

Slow food movement inspired.
True ingredients from the lagoon of Venice.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Al Covo Venezia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Al Covo Venezia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Al Covo Venezia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Al Covo Venezia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
