Il Covo - Toronto

The pasta at this restaurant is consistently excellent and made fresh daily. They also have a good selection of wines to choose from.

We had a group dinner with 11 people and were seated in our own private section of the restaurant. It was very cozy and had a great Italian restaurant atmosphere. The service was excellent, and when I had to send back my steak for not being cooked to my liking, they were very accommodating and brought me a perfectly cooked replacement. The pasta was incredibly fresh and delicious, and overall, it was a fantastic dining experience.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant during Summerlicious. The Spaghetti Alle Vongale was undercooked and only came with one clam that had very little meat in it. It was also lacking in flavor. Due to a distributor issue, they replaced the Piovra Bruciata with a Rainbow Trout dish, which was the best part of the meal, but still not up to standard. The dessert we ordered was supposed to have white chocolate namelaka, but instead tasted like licorice, which was not enjoyable. The service was mediocre, with slow wait times between courses and one server consistently stepping on my foot. Additionally, two out of the three unisex washroom stalls had doors that didn't fit on the hinges, making it impossible to close the door.

We went for the summerlicous dinner on Saturday. We placed our order, I got the spaghetti ala vongola, steak for main and my husband got the prosciutto and melon to start and trout for his main. The server was very pleasant and attentive. Another server brought out apps but also brought my husbands main at the same time. She left and came back and apologized for bring it out. It was fine but in the end it was awkward since he was done his app and main. I had an issue with my pasta since it had NO flavour, it tasted like spicy water and pasta. We told the waiter, he was so accommodating and exchanged it for me. No now my husband is waiting for me to get my app and main still, we ended up just sharing my meal in the end. We got dessert which was actually really good. The waited was fantastic but the food was very disappointing

Excellent service and delicious food- the unique ambience offers a lovely atmospheric vibe. Food is a bit pricey... but it is rather delicious;
