- GGrannynewiberia1Alabama •5 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoBeet caprese salad was amazing. We had a clam dish with pasta. It was a replacement for a butternut squash they were out of and I was apprehensive as clams are not my thing. The waiter assured me if it was not something I liked he would make it right. To my surprise, since my experience with clams in the past was negative, it was very good. We also had the chocolate dessert. Very happy with everything. Would be happy to eat there again next time we are in Covington.More infoDel Porto RistorantePrice: Expensive• Contemporary Italian• Covington•4.9
