Il Covo Trattoria

Il Covo is a very nice Italian restaurant in James Bay, Victoria. Myself and my wife were treating some friends of ours who took care of our cats while we were away. The atmosphere is pleasant and is in the old Superior Cafe Tapas location.

My wife and I shared the antipasto for two, with cured Italian meats, cheeses, marinated vegetables (artichokes in this one), assorted olives, bruschette and fruit. It was a pleasant way to start and reminded us of our time in Italy a few years back.

For a main I had the cioppino livornese, which is a mix of calamari, prawns, mussels, clams, sea scallops and flaked rock fish in il Covo marinara sauce with crostini. Everything was delicious except the crostini, as it was too salty. The broth of the cioppino itself as incredibly delicious.

We'd eat here again.
