    Stunning food. Gorgeous, intimate place. The food comes on small plates and they are perfect for sharing. The lamb, the pasta, everything was perfect. And the staff are great, really friendly and attentive. LOVE THIS PLACE!

    Excellent, it was great being able to once again savour Bryan Webb’s culinary skills something we thought we may not witness again when he sold Tyddyn Llan but his residency at Covino is an absolute treat and the food certainly lived up to our expectations We went with ham croquettes, butter beans with decent oil, piedmont peppers with anchovies for snacks, followed by Asparagus salad, Tagliatelle, Grilled Scallops, Wild Bass, Fillet of Brill and finished off with pear and almond tart, poached rhubarb with blood orange and a cheese selection, may seem a lot but there were four of us and to drink we had the odd bottle 🤔 of a very nice Ronceray 3021 Chenin (delightful) Every dish had unique flavours and were cooked excellently, service with a smile as ever and it was nice having a chat to Susan who always looked after us so well at Tyddyn Llan. If you enjoy excellent food and wine this is a must visit and we’re looking forward to returning soon

    Excellent food, service and experience overall. Plates were delivered in quick succession; would have preferred a slightly more relaxed pace. The tables were not ideal (small round bistro) for our party of four (2 pushed together sitting around the sides rather than opposite). The music was a touch too loud and intrusive. However these are minor issues for the quality of food!

    Went at opening time so was quiet but nice. Food was excellent. Spoke with front of house quite a bit and she was really pleasant. Small plate menu which was not extensive but all courses very well cooked, nicely presented and tasty. Small venue which adds to the experience. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will happily return
