Covo — Restaurant in Birzebbugia

Amazing food, drinks, and friendly staff, all in a prime location in Birzebbuga. This gem is not to be missed! Andres waited on my table, and his recommendations were spot on. I had the “Polipo Grigliato,” which was perfectly char-grilled—crispy on the outside and incredibly tender inside. Easily the best octopus I’ve ever tasted. Be sure to try the cocktails, too. Their bartender, Juan Pablo, is a magician! I had the “Refreshing Tropic,” one of their signature drinks, and it was the perfect choice for a warm, sunny day.

We went to ristorante COVO a couple of times already and always thought it was a fantastic dining experience in Birżebbuġia!

The menu has a good variety of Mediterranean dishes, and every item we ordered was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented.

Bartender made us some super cocktails and the staff was friendly and attentive. I loved the seafood options— and the T-Bone steak which we shared, cooked to perfection with a blend of creativity from the chef. The wine selection was also great.

Overall, I’d say, COVO Restaurant is a pretty place to enjoy great food in a relaxed and scenic setting. We’ll...
