Today we had lunch at Il Covo di Leo in Monteruscello. I know this restaurant very well and have been going there for years, but I've been missing this one for a while.
After all this time, I found it even better than I remembered... and it was already delicious! Leo is an amazing chef: every dish reflects passion, experience, and a love of cooking. The products are top-quality, and you can taste the care he put into choosing the ingredients.
Honorable mention goes to the pasta dishes, which are truly exceptional, and to the meat, which is incredibly tender and flavorful. But, truth be told, everything was delicious, from appetizer to dessert.
Leo and his family, with their warmth and hospitality, made our Sunday truly special. It's one of those places where you don't just eat well, you feel at home.
An absolute confirmation. We'll be back very soon.

We went there for lunch on Sunday. Having made a reservation, we were seated immediately upon arrival, brought a small welcome entree, and served warm, crusty bread that was delicious and excellent to accompany the dishes we would be eating later. We had the house antipasto, which consisted of ten courses, all small portions, so perhaps the price of this appetizer could be slightly lower. I really enjoyed the parmesan spheres, which were truly excellent, and the pumpkin meatballs were also delicious. Everything with meat was excellent, though I think the eggplant parmigiana could be a little revisited. We continued with a first course each: ziti alla genovese and ziti alla lardiata, both truly delicious and generous. It was a shame about the pasta, which was a bit too al dente for my taste. We finished with a nice, simple dessert. All this was accompanied by a good wine; the quantity and quality of the selection was truly excellent. The atmosphere is truly unique, beautiful, warm, and welcoming. The service is the added touch of this place: excellent quality; everyone is very attentive to customer service and very polite.
Thank you for your hospitality.

Sunday lunch: located in a quiet, hilly area, a typical Neapolitan setting, friendly and helpful staff, traditional Neapolitan cuisine, a fantastic Genovese, not to mention the cut of meat, very good, tender, and melting. Overall, everything was good, recommended.

I always love coming back. It's a family-run restaurant that knows how to do their job. Francesco Valentino, the restaurant manager, welcomes you and makes you feel at ease right away. I won't even talk about the food; it's simply delicious. Go and try it.

When we want to eat quality meat in a quiet, family-friendly atmosphere, we always come to Covo di Leo. Special appetizers, especially the bone marrow with tartare and black truffle, premium meats, and delicious homemade desserts. And don't underestimate the courtesy of all the staff.
