   Food was lovely and staff pleasant. We booked a “table” and ended up on a sitting at a metal bar (like seating in a pub) Venue is tiny and there is a table and chair squashed into every inch of space which doesn’t create a pleasant place to dine. Couldn’t change your mind when you get there due to their £50 charge for cancelling. Booked with an Amex but couldn’t pay with one and couldn’t pay with cash luckily we had another card which I don’t normally carry. Dining out is more than just the food it’s the whole experience which is a shame because the food was different and high standard but the venue doesn’t do it just at all. We ate in our coats due to sitting on stools and no room, my partners umbrella and hand bag were on the bar with our food. We wouldn’t return

   Chilled and relaxed atmosphere overall. We enjoyed what was served and recommended. Special thanks from our daughter for the nice grape fruit juice! We took our two years old, so for anyone with kids don't be shy and jump in to enjoy..just makes sure to get there early as space is limited and tight- chester space after all.

   The Country Living Magazine recommendation certainly didn’t disappoint. What an absolute gem. We had a superb evening. Faultless. The food was exceptional. Wine selection extensive. Service was fabulous. I would come back to Chester purely to revisit Covino!

   We’ve been wanting to try Covino since we moved to Chester almost 3 years ago and can’t believe we left it so long. Great service, good quality ingredients cooked expertly and all the dishes we tried were delicious. The wine also was really good . We we definitely be putting Covino on our rotation of great places to eat in Chester

    Photographs on website misleading, was not expecting such a small and canteen like venue. It felt crowded and uncomfortable. T The food was average and it was disappointing to have to order bread separately. The wine was very nice and the service was excellent Overall I thought the food very overpriced I would not recommend or return to the restaurant.
