Covino's Pasta & Pizza

My most favorite Italian place to go to in the DFW metroplex. Small hole in the wall in the middle of Plano. Owner is always so nice. He will often say hi to everyone like old-school. The food is fantastic and very affordable. Also BYOB which is really great.

I ordered to go and look at this piece of lasagna they gave us. This was $20. Along with the sad salad. This was our first time ordering and will be our last. Food is cold and I went up there and ordered in person, so it wasn't sitting.

A friend took us to this place to get pizzas to go. They were excellent. New York style pizzas were our pick

Very popular Italian restaurant on independence Parkway in Plano. in the corner of a strip mall, which gave it the opportunity to have covered patio seating, which is nice. Very friendly and attentive service. Don't let the waitlist scare you. Ours was supposed to be 30 minutes and ended up being only 15. Just depends.Two of us split a pizza, which is what Covino's is known for. Very good New York style pizza. We also had two of the chicken entrées. The Aristocat dinner is chicken and eggplant Parmesan and I thought pretty good. It comes with a side of pasta and all covered with a vodka type sauce. However, beware of the Agnolotti Chicken dinner unless you like the taste of bacon, which my wife doesn't in many things. It is tender slices of smoked chicken with a bacon flavor, covered in a cream sauce. Wasn't crazy they charged us 4 corkage fees ($2 pp) even though one of us only had beer and drank out of the bottle. Not a big deal as I love the BYOB. Their house salad is exceptional and I highly recommend getting it.

It's been a couple of years since our last visit. I ordered the Stromboli and it was the size of a nerf football and oh so delicious. My wife went with spaghetti and meatballs and the meatballs were huge so she only ordered one and I brought home the other for a nice meatball sandwich the next day. Great people and food. Cool old pictures hung throughout the restaurant that makes for great ambiance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first time at Covino's this evening. We loved the ambience, especially the Frank Sinatra music.

So delicious! We love this cozy BYOB. The Chicken Aristocrat is divine. I also love the classic Eggplant Parmesan. Service is friendly and prompt.

I really wanted to love this restaurant..and i am willing to give it another shot. The staff was so nice! The only dish that we enjoyed was the chicken piccata and veal Parmesan.The eggplant Parmesan wasn't warmed all the way through...and the side order of pasta with marinara is a sauce that didn't simmer long enough..so the water from the sauce was not melded well into the tomato sauce/oil. Next time I will try another entree and choose pasta w/ butter/mushrooms on the side.

Wait staff pleasant and informative. Management discourages discussion about the menu and restaurant. I cannot recommend based on hospitality sadly.

Place was jammed but food and service did mot suffer nor disappoint. Joe Covino came around and greeted us and visited making sure all was well.
