Restaurante Il Covo in Nerja

"Super friendly waitress, makes this place an amazing experience for those wanting home cooked food in a lovely atmosphere. We shared two mixed starters, both amazing, and had the lasagne, a veggie pasta dish, and a Gorgonzola pizza. Every dish was 10/10. We will definitely be back. Returned for a second visit. I tried the amazing carbonara this time. We were also lucky enough to experience the sing chef-Wow!"

"Update August 2023: We came back this year, were greeted with the same welcoming smile and good energy! We got the house white wine, bruschetta, Rigattoni Buscaiola and Amatriciana. Food was still amazing, and a great experience overall! We'll be back again for sure, maybe once we manage to try something else too :)) Original review: Small place with great vibe, fast and friendly service, very good drinks and food! Got the sangria and Hendrick's gin, and pasta. Very filling yet light, left more than happy. Pizza also looked amazing, will come back!"

"Lovely little restaurant, excellent service and even better food. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. The food is authentic and delicious, with good portion sizes and the staff could not have been nicer."

"In the 10 days of our holiday we have come back 3 times. It is such a great place with such lovely people. The food is amazing every time and the people are delightful. They genuinely care about their customers and their food and it is a delight to be a part of it. They have some great singing entertainment which is great fun."

"Really enjoyed our meal in Il Covo. We both had pasta dishes both of which were cooked to perfection and very well presented. Service was very efficient and friendly as was the What’sApp booking process with Daniela. We really enjoyed the in house entertainment… a nice singer, singing many Italian favourites and encouraging all to join in. Prices were very reasonable… we will return sometime soon."

"The food here is fabulous. We had a pizza and two pastas. All three items were spectacular. The service was excellent, and the singing halfway through our meal made the experience so enjoyable. We recommend this restaurant."

"Had the sweetest waitress in this quaint little pizza and pasta restaurant. The kindest service with quick and delicious food which I cannot recommend more! Perfectly located in the heart of Nerja and easily accessible for all"

"Food - amazing, so full of flavours and great quality Service - THE best service we’ve had in Spain thus far. Fast, polite and attentive. If you are lucky you’ll be blessed with the singing voice of the owner and this small dinner spot turns into a private concert. A must try in Nerja!"
