"We ate twice at Ristorante il Covo: first at lunch and another day at dinner. My wife declared If we lived here, this would be my favorite restaurant. Il Covo has a simple menu of about 6 appetizers, 6 first courses ,6 mains, plus a selection of pizzas. No pizza for us, but everything else was excellent. My sweetheart ordered an outstanding bowl of gnudi: a flourless gnocchi made with spinach and ricotta cheese. It was served with a cheesy cream sauce and topped with pistachio nuts. She made the slipper ' and mopped her bowl clean with a slice of bread. The pici pasta with a tomato sauce spiked aglione (a local variety of large garlic) was hearty and filling. The white bean soup is simply outstanding. This is a thick and creamy broth perfectly seasoned and still lets the flavor of the humble beans come through. Salmon is not a native Italian fish, by wife 's fillet encrusted with pistachios was nice. My beef stewed in a local red wine was dark, hearty, and delicious. The walls in Il Covo also act as the wine cellar. Just browse the shelves and select a wine that appeals to you. Most of the wines are priced less than 30 euros per bottle"
