It's small and intimate. Sometimes I forget to make a reservation and can get in by pleading with the owner, otherwise, you're not getting in. , I just called him to ask if he will be open on Pasqua but just got a voicemail saying it's too busy right now for them to answer the phone. Al Covo is owned by Diana from Lubbock, Texas, and Cesare from Venice. CoVino is owned by Lorenzon Andrea, whose father owns another famous restaurant in the city, but not Al Covo. I am 99% certain they will be open on Easter. Go on their website and reserve now. It's actually about around the corner from Al Covo. Al Covo and CoVino are two of the best places you can eat in Venice.
