"Il Covo - Pizza, Pasta, Singing and a Dance – Nights to Remember "

Right in the lively centre of Nerja, tucked among the town’s beloved tapas bars, Il Covo brings a slice of Italy with a whole lot of soul. This family-run favourite is more than just a place to eat – it’s an experience, filled with laughter, music, and authentic Italian flavours.

Run by a warm and welcoming family, you’ll likely be greeted and served by the daughter while her father steals the spotlight later in the evening with a few classic Italian songs that never fail to get the crowd clapping — and often even dancing! It’s this unique blend of great food and genuine joy that makes Il Covo so special.

We've celebrated several birthdays there, and each one felt a bit like magic. The staff go out of their way to make things feel special – home made cake by the mother of Il Covo, a cheer from the tables around, and songs just for you. It’s not over-the-top or forced – just genuine joy, shared in a room full of good food and happy people.

The menu is full of comforting Italian staples – fresh pasta, crispy pizzas, and rich pistos – all cooked with love and served with a smile. Also, gluten free is available. It’s a top choice for birthday dinners, lively group nights out, or anyone looking for a memorable meal in a friendly, festive atmosphere.

For a night of flavour, fun, and family charm, Il Covo is Nerja at its most joyful!
