What nancymhoule doesn't like about Il Covo Trattoria:
Beautiful restaurant but underwhelmed by my entre. Cioppino Lovornese was smothered in a marinara sauce that was too bold for me to taste the seafood that I was looking forward to. Also it further cooked the seafood by the time it made it to our table. View all feedback. What a ferguson likes about Il Covo Trattoria:
Wonderful GF protocol. Separate pot of water, dedicated utensils, dedicated toaster for the bread they will bring you pre-meal, and excellent communication with the kitchen. All pastas can be made GF. I had the mushroom cream one and it was so delicious! Crime brûlée is made in house and was also safe. Really impressed by both the food and celiac safety.

The delicious smell of garlic, herbs and baking bread wafts from Il Covo when you walk by, and even if I hadn't made reservations, I would have wanted to

My Wife and I have really enjoyed the food here, the taste is reminding me with Rome's restaurants.

Il Covo Trattoria offers a beautiful setting with outdoor seating that provides a lovely ambiance. While some guests were underwhelmed by specific dishes or found the restaurant's ventilation lacking, overall the food and service received high marks. The restaurant is praised for its gluten-free options and excellent celiac safety protocols. Diners have described the experience as feeling like stepping into a quaint trattoria in Italy, with delicious food from antipasti to seafood and creme brulee. Despite being a bit overpriced, Il Covo Trattoria is highly recommended for those seeking a fantastic Italian dining experience in Victoria.
