Al Covo Venezia Reviews from The Last Year
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 prices better to go to Trattoria al Gatto Nero on Burano - Angela H was spot on with that one!! Tell Maximillan the Scouser sent you!!
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 meat attached. Or slice of cheesecake for €14. This would be fine if the quality or taste was there, but neither dishes were culinary highlights. Venice is expensive, it’s true, but value for money here is limited. Would come back if the food improved because the ambience is cozy.
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 and this was such a pleasant closure with the orange - tangerine tastes. Will come back
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!
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 first 2 courses are now on my list of things to cook at home for date night with the wife as they were so good. Sommelier helped with my choice of Venetian Red (only drink quality local stuff when abroad) and the meal was ended with the most perfect Vanilla Gelato served by the owner, Diane (I realise my limitations and I cannot make Italian ice cream with home made liquorish sauce so sadly not on my date menu at home!) Thoroughly recommend the experience to anyone in Venice. High quality food, really pleasant atmosphere and lovely to wear a tie and jacket in a restaurant and not feel out of place as all the locals are dressed up in their finery.
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 worst we have had. Everything took a very long time, when seated it was 20+ minutes to get water, we weren’t given help with the menu, for example waited till ordering time to hear specials then had to ask for some more time. Limited guidance o. How much to order or what things come with. The price point is quite high, I don’t mind this but at this price you expect better and more prompt service. We waited 40 minutes between courses. Similar to other reviewers portions were small. The skewer was 9 small pieces of seafood for 35 Euro, it did not come with anything. The Prosecco was 10 euro a glass, not especially nice and the pour was 100ml - a little stingy. Whilst not the worst meal we have had we left a bit drained and flat as it took forever and was a meal we were looking forward to. I would give this a miss.
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 there: salad, appetiser and main course took us a speedy hour.
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 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.
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
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.
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!

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week.

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
