Received a notice that my reservation was cancelled with no additional information. When I reached out to find out why no one followed up. Really problematic since this was for one of the busiest dining weekends in Ogunquit.

Had such an amazing dining experience last weekend at Il Covo. Saturday night spent my fiancée's birthday there with a group of friends and family. We were served by the chef who also offered his personal recommendations.
Everyone absolutely loved everything we had to eat, I personally had a terrific pasta bolognese and ate every single bite and shared the short rib poutine which was also wonderful. All the other people at the table raved about their dishes including the Wagyu and Halibut specials, the butternut squash ravioli, the short ribs, a pizza, and the meatball starter to share! As well as some coffees and a cake for the birthday celebration!
I could not recommend this place more, it is brand new and is very nice and clean inside, with super nice and helpful staff.
We loved it so much we tried to go back there for dinner again Sunday night but we realized when we got there it was not open (it does have limited days/hours of operation so be sure to pay attention to that). But we plan to come back in the near future for sure!

Went here for our ten year anniversary. The owner was bartending, he was a very nice guy as was the waiter. The appetizers and meals were outstanding! We had the chicken picatta and the pork chop. Can’t wait to go back and try some of their other entrees.

Food was authentic, very tasty, and tailored to our preferences. The chef Dennis was very welcoming and he took the time to greet us, explain the menu, and answer our questions. The server was funny, well mannered and had good intentions, however he had some difficulties in taking our orders appropriately. The atmosphere was somewhat subpar, I would recommend to dim the lights and have some music for ambiance (music only played for the first 15-20 mins of the night). Despite our issues, I would still recommend the restaurant for the delicious food and I’m confident that they will make improvements the overall experience (we were there for the first day of their new menu, they might need some time to get used to it).

Excellent meal! Table of eight and everybody ate and drank wonderfully. The decor and ambiance could be a little more refined though (music, light dimming)

Il Covo is going to be a huge hit in this area. The brick oven makes everything from steak to Mediterranean pizzas taste great. We also ate our breakfasts here as we stayed at the Inn at Perkins Cove. Highly recommend the lobster Benedict. Oh my. Service is stellar and chef comes out to your table.
Friendly, accommodating and super clean as well.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Il Covo for breakfast as part of our stay at Inn on Perkins Cove. It was truly a delightful experience. This newly opened restaurant is sure to become the go-to spot in Ogunquit for a quiet and delicious lunch or dinner. The ambiance, with its white linen tablecloths and hanging artwork, perfectly captures the essence of Ogunquit.
The attention to detail and quality of the food at Il Covo is truly impressive. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that our dining experience was top-notch. We left feeling satisfied and eager to return for dinner next time we visit Ogunquit.

The food was amazing. The fish (salmon & Barramundi) were luscious. My brother in law had the tomahawk steak, he said was also great. Very nice cocktail and wine list. Service very good. Would highly recommend this restaurant while in Ogunguit

WOW! Probably the premiere affordable fine dining establishment in Ogunquit. Been open a few weeks now. Welcoming atmosphere. Renovated - clean! Party of five - all of us were happy and found something to enjoy. Started with several appetizers - the duck fat frites and artichoke hearts - absolutely delicious! Several of us had the Barramundi Australian fish special - just fantastic. Served either whole or filleted per your preference. Duck confit was excellent, deliciously prepared scallops, and a cheese pizza (for the younger person in our group of 5) which was among one of the best I have ever tasted. Wonderful cocktails and solid wine selection. Menu slated to rotate with the seasons which is so refreshing. Excellent gelato flight. Will also be open year round - making it a reason to visit Ogunquit during the off season. We can't wait to return and try other delicious options.
