  • Was pretty excited for this new Italian resto that specializes in Italian small dishes and hand made pastas. But.. had a mixed experience starting from the dishes we had to the ambiance and dining service. Il Covo means the hideout which I think is a pretty accurate description as I felt like we were are walking into a stone cave dimly lit with red lighting but a little too dark imo. They have an extensive wine book (and I mean book because it was 100+ pages with full pictures and descriptions) So if you love a large selection of fancy wines, this may be your spot. The dishes are half portions so the suggestion from our server was around 4-8 dishes PER person which I thought was pretty intense. We wanted to order 6 dishes for 2 people but felt pressured to keep ordering more to "better time the sequence of the dishes coming out" rather than asking how much we had an appetite for. So we ordered more food which turned out to be too much for us.. What I liked: -Grilled lamb rack - the favorite thing I had that night. The lamb was juicy and tender and beautifully flavored. The potato one the side was nicely seared and really soaked up the flavours. -Tomato grilled black cod - light and refreshing flavours, the cod was buttery and served under lots of tomato and olives. What fell flat: -Linguine di mare: seafood flavours were there but the linguine was a tad too al dente. Also for $16, the portions were really just a couple mouthfuls.. -Insalata liquida aka liquid salad? This was highlight recommended by our server that would wow us and be bursting with flavours.. unfortunately wowed I were not. I love a good citrus zest but it was just too sour and overpowered the whole salad which consisted of roughly 5 lettuce leaves.. -Burrino - goat butter in mozzarella with a side of anchovies. I was really excited for this one. The bread was nice and warm but the butter inside the mozzarella is a great concept but for me personally was just too fatty and lack a strong flavour profile. Overall 3 stars in my books because even though I did enjoy their meat dishes, I was not as much of a fan for their pastas and veg dishes. Also, the price points looking at the menu is reasonable but adds up very quickly because portions are small and you end up ordering a lot so be prepared to spend a pretty penny.
