Cova Hong Kong

 “Opened in 1993, Cova Hong Kong is one of the city's best- known dining brands. Its lineage goes back to 1817 in Milan, Italy, when the first Cova outlet was set up. After WWII, Cova moved its flagship store to Via Montenapoleone , and quickly attracted a loyal following. Subsequent acquisition by LVMH has only strengthened its reputation.

 

Cova Hong Kong operates a combination of ristorantes/caffes and pasticceria-confetterias serving authentic Italian dishes, cakes and desserts. In 2016, Hong Kong and Macau Cova became part of the Maxim's Group, one of the city's largest and most reputable restaurant operators. Today , Cova has 12 retail outlets and seven ristorante/caffe, with the majority located in the city's top-tier shopping malls.

 

The key to Cova's success remains its excellent food. The responsibility of delivering authentic Italian cooking falls on Sergio Landi, Cova Hong Kong's Executive Chef. Landi, who has been with Cova Hong Kong since 2009, hails from Naples by way of Milan, Spain, France, the US and Russia where he gradually developed his own style of modern European cooking.

 

“I want to deliver to our guests simple, genuine Italian home cooking dishes and serving them in a more relaxed and comfortable setting” said Chef Landis. “Today, Cova operates more as a deluxe café concept, featuring a more casual menu that aims to attract a younger clientele.”

 

Count on Cova to continue serving its classic favourites though. “Yes, our loyal customers can still enjoy favourites such as Spaghetti, Red Prawn or Roasted Rack of Lamb in Fine Herbs. We are also introducing simpler, down home food like Wagyu Paccheri, a yummy slow-cooked wagyu ribs dish served with half-paccheri pasta in tomato sauce and fresh ricotta.”

 

Over the years, Cova Hong Kong has carved out an indelible niche in Hong Kong’s dining scene. With a combination of strong partners, a passionate chef, and excellent Italian cooking, Cova will surely remain a force to be reckoned with.
