"With a bunch of paintings by local artists on the walls and heavy silverware and hand-blown Murano glasses on the table, Al Covo’s atmosphere really hits a sweet spot between fine dining and a relaxed family restaurant. Look for soft-shell crabs and artichoke hearts in early winter, tiny lagoon snails during the summer, and a wine list that highlights natural and biodynamic bottles from small Italian producers. If you really can’t decide what to get, just order the tasting menu that gives you whatever is freshest. No meal here is complete without a slice of chocolate cake with fudge icing, studded with salted pistachios." - gillian mcguire
