    This is our second favourite restaurant in Paris because the best Mexican restaurant in the world is also in Paris. And the negroni alone are the very best of anywhere.

    Il Covo is a relatively small restaurant with a very attentive owner and excellent andoften home baked foods. The menu is limited, but what there is, is very good!

    The food is great, as always. But something happened today that made me very disappointed in the service. We were a big company, and when we got the bill, we decided not to divide it equally among all, but to calculate how much each individual had to pay. So in the check, right at the end, at the very last moment, they added an additional bottle of wine, which we did not order. It was that obvious that it was done on purpose as the dishes come in the bill in order. When we pointed on that, we have never received an apology for their mistake. Once again, the food here is just amazing, BUT YOU SHOULD CHECK THE POSITIONS IN THE CHECK CAREFULLY BEFORE PAYING.

    The waiter was friendly, helpful and welcoming. The food was a little disappointing, lacking any flavour and brocolli that was very overcooked. We didn't finnish our meal and unfortunately wouldnt be in a rush to return.

    We had a most enjoyable evening and a nice authentic Calabrian meal at Il Covo. Great service and a really good deal with The Fork discount. Would certainly recommend for an Italian meal out if in Paris.

    A Nice cosy restaurant, the food is really good but unfortunately not enough in the plate. I was expecting a very good portion Italian mama style. It tasted really good though and you have special chef’s suggestions

    Nice staff, good explanation of the dishes and products used. Food is good, serving large portions. Prices are high too but I think they use really quality products. We had a 50% discount so I am not sure that if we hadn’t if some dishes would be served the same way. We ordered one pasta dish with a kind of italian sausage, but honestly there was not much of it. I would definitely recommend the carbonara and the tiramisu. The bruschetta they serve as a courtesy is awesome as well. Would go back but it would be awesome if they could provide a baby chair next time!

    The pasta was under cooked (the raw pasta), however the dessert was not bad. More expensive than usual.

    The service was good and professional, we didn’t wait too long for the food and the wine was good but the food was just really bad, to be honest I feel it was expensive even with the discount for the quality of food we got. We were hoping for more Italian FRESH FOOD.
