The place looks really nice. We didn’t eat here, but we each had a drink. The wine tasted really good, with the server recommending a nice Chardonnay that didn’t break the bank. It was a lovely drink. They also provided us with a nice house red. However, we didn’t realize that just a glass of the white was £16, and the table red was £13 a glass! This meant our bill for six people was £80. They added a 12.5% service charge, which I disagree with for just drinks. All in all, just for these tactics alone, I will not be going here again.

Visited on a Saturday night with some chums. We had all the plates and the food was superb - not a duff note amongst them and some things were revelatory eg the beef tartare with a crunchy crumb. Wine was excellent, as one would expect, and it's great to have the 500ml carafes that allow 2/3 wines to be enjoyed over a meal; I do wish more places in Chester offered this. The vibe is laid back and fairly informal - don't come here if you want linen tablecloths and silver service. Service more generally was a bit inconsistent, the welcome wasn't as generous as it could have been and to have suggested a £52 bottle of Albariño as an aperitif seemed a bit sharp, though matters improved with a change of personnel who balanced informality with warmth just right. Any self respecting foodie finding themselves in Chester should go to Covino to sample some of the best, if not the best food in the city.

Gem of an intimate small plates venue beautiful food extensive wine list full of bottles from small vineyards that you won’t find anywhere else. Really friendly staff who are very knowledgeable about the wines they sell and go out of their way to make sure customers are made to feel special whether popping in for a glass of wine or having a full dining experience. Occasional supper clubs and wine fairs are worth going to to explore wines you wouldn’t usually get to try elsewhere.

Been a regular at Covino for the past 2 years or so but unfortunately the service has become so cold (verging on hostile) from the female member of staff that I won’t return. Great shame, used to tell everyone to visit but now tell everyone to stay away. Of course she still adds on service hoping no one can be bothered to make a fuss. Noted that others have had a very similar experience to ours.

A small but pleasant place. We chose to drop in for drinks, although food is also available. Staff were very attentive - we were surprised by how expensive the wine was (£22 for a 500ml carafe of the house white or red). It is obviously pitched at more of a premium market with good quality wines. After one, we adjoined over the road to the Cosy Club.

This was our first time eating at Covino, having previously visited for drinks. We sat at the counter and ordered six plates between us. These were of various sizes ranging from a couple of mouthfuls to a normal main course portion. The food was very well cooked by the chef in the adjacent (very small) kitchen area. Combine this with the extensive wine list which has something for everyone to make this a must visit again venue.

My husband and I really like the concept of Covino with sharing plates that come out as they are made. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable, and certainly know their wines if you have any questions. The menu and dishes change regularly which suits us as we eat out most weekends and Covino is often the restaurant of choice. There is ordinarily a choice of veggie, meat and fish, and we tend to choose five dishes between us, last night we had an aubergine dish that you should try if you go in the next few days (imagine double-cooked chips) we had a trout with an aïoli sauce and grilled kofta skewers. All super tasty. You must try the Comté gougères as they are utterly delicious. They're crusty on the outside, soft on the inside, and cheesy. Delivered to your table hot out of the oven. (This is one of the dishes that remains on the menu.) Even if you just have these with a glass of wine or a cold beer, sitting in the window and watching the world go by. Just lovely. We haven’t taken our three children here, as although they would enjoy the food, it is a small venue that I feel is more suited to couples and smaller groups. You could easily fit six or eight around the bar area, which is fun if there’s a group of you, or book the room downstairs which we haven’t done yet, but will at some point for a special occasion. We nearly always sit in the window as we love to watch what’s happening around us, whilst eating good food, drinking good wine and enjoying each other’s company away from the children. Making time for each other. We do love this place. The perfect date night venue.

My recent visit to the Chester site of this restaurant was unfortunately quite disappointing. Despite being regular guests at the Manchester Climate location, we were met with a lack of interest from the staff. The place was empty when we arrived on a Thursday, and although we were seated at the bar promptly, the service fell short. The staff seemed disinterested, merely taking our order and then leaving us to ourselves. This lack of attentiveness was shocking, especially considering our excitement to visit this new location. While the food was acceptable, it certainly could have been better. One aspect that particularly irked us was the 12.5% service charge added to the bill. It's unclear what this charge was for, especially given the subpar service experience we encountered. The staff appeared more focused on socializing amongst themselves and with the chef, rather than catering to the guests' needs. Overall, this visit was very disappointing. We believe that with proper attention and dedication to customer service, this establishment could do much better. I would recommend management to visit their Manchester site to understand the level of service that should be provided to guests.

A little gem of a wine bar with small plates. Fantastic fresh food, prepared to order. Choose your drink from the small menu of select wines by the glass / carafe or choose from their huge array bottles all on show around the walls with many more available. It’s worth taking time to talk with the knowledgeable and super friendly staff to choose your preferred wine. We loved our visits and will be back again soon.

The food and wine are delicious, with fresh ingredients and well balanced flavours. The staff have an innate skill for interacting in a way that augments without overwhelming your meal and understand the pace of plate delivery which creates a brilliant atmosphere and experience. Go for a special occasion (as we did) or to celebrate a Friday night. One of my favourite restaurant experiences in the UK.

Overall I highly rated this place. Food flavours were amazing. Only a few quibbles. The musical selection was classic hip hop, which I love, but the volume was too loud at some stages to comfortably talk to someone seated right next to me (this was eventually corrected). Our server also forgot to order one of our dishes which then came later after we mentioned the omission. It probably would have been better served earlier with the bread as it was an oil/sauce heavy dish (I did see that a table near us received this dish at the same time as the focaccia in their case, and I was a tad jealous. The sauce was really tasty and I would have liked the excuse to eat more of it). Can't fault the server's friendliness and knowledge of the menu. It's a small restaurant so bookings are probably essential. We were sat on stools which was fine but not sure whether there were other seating options so worth checking if you have any mobility concerns. I would definitely go again.

The surf and turf starter and key lime cheesecake were truly exceptional, so much so I had to resist licking the plate clean.

Excited, that's how I feel when my husband suggests Convino! The food and wine are excellent, as is the service. Is it the cheapest place? No, but that is probably more down to me wanting to try every plate and wash it down with a bottle as opposed to a glass haha. Sometimes, what you pay for is what you get, bloomin lovely delicious food, washed down with something rather delicious. Liked the old Convino, love the new one.

We visited Covina for the first time and we loved the ambience and the food was absolutely amazing. We asked for a recommendation on the wine and we thoroughly enjoyed it. However having asked for a recommendation I would always expect if it was a higher priced wine that the person serving would make reference to this but clearly not. We were advised of the price half way through and I would not normally choose to pay £44!

The menu (that changes weekly) was very imaginative, seasonal and all very tempting. The restaurant is small and cosy, with a great atmosphere and the meals are all cooked to order by an amazing chef. It was a treat to watch him work. The meat platter we had to start was incredible; with meat sliced in front of us and with the best sourdough bread we have ever tasted. All of the dishes were beautifully presented and we also chose the grouse special which was memorable. The owner is a great host and very knowledgeable, he made us feel very welcome.

The small plates are so delicious, always different things to try every week and everything Keith does is done to such a high standard. An amazing selection of wines too and Christopher or Francois is always on hand to help you make your selection based on tastes and budget. My favourite place to eat out or have a glass of wine and cheese in Chester!

Spectacular food, friendly service a unique wine list in a fresh, bright setting; a stand out in the Chester dining scene. Bold, bright and fresh flavours; Black pudding and pork fritters delicious, whipped cod roe was a top dish with banging flavours, gnocchi was heavenly! A top meal and should be on your list if you visit or live in Chester.

The food and service in Covino is fabulous! Eaten here on several occasions but most recently at their Supper Club which was a brilliant selection of food and wine. The staff are always so knowledgeable and happy to provide ideas on different wines. Keep up the good work Chris and team

We live close by but every time we visit, it feels like a special occasion. Chris and the guys are so friendly. Chris is very knowledgeable about his wine and is always keen to advise. Keith is an amazing chef.

Haven’t been to Covino since it had move from Rufus Court to Northgate Street but was invited to this evening by a close friend. What a wonderful evening it was! Chris and his team had obviously worked very hard choosing the food and the wine to compliment one another. The food was delicious and the wines that were paired with the food were at times quite different to what we have tried. If you haven’t been to Covino before then go - you won’t be disappointed. From the minute you walk through the door you get such a warm welcome. Chris has an amazing knowledge of wines and together with his team this lovely wine bar and restaurant is a winner!!

COVINO in Chester is one of those places who just ticks all the boxes, because it gets the emphases right: this is, basically, a very lovely wine bar with a menu of small dishes to share while trying umpteen wines

I had the maple syrup waffles and it was incredible. There isn't a lot of seating, but we were lucky enough to get one. The food arrived quickly and the staff were lovely
