Al Covino
The Cut· research-verified, not yet visited
Sixteen seats in Castello. Chef Claudio De Lauzieres cooks Venice-meets-Naples; his partner Claudia runs pastry. Indagare-listed sibling to Al Covo.
Castello 3829, five minutes from the Arsenale, on a calle most maps skip. It is small enough that the open kitchen and the dining floor are basically the same space. Three-course prix-fixe at €40, wine pairings €15; for Venice, that's a steal. The menu changes weekly. Slow Food principles, mostly local fish, a Neapolitan accent on the seasonings (Claudio's from Naples). Claudia's caprese cake is the dessert to order; the cassata is the one to know about. Reserve a week ahead, two for weekends.
