Born in Milan in 1817, as a literary café at the corner of Piazza della Scala, Cova emerged as one of the most important historical openings of the era. A fashionable café for rendez-vous and the meeting place for patriots of the Risorgimento, Cova hosted the élite of the busy, high society. Launched in Monte Carlo in September 2017, Cova today has two venues in the Principality of Monaco, and has become an international destination celebrated for its product excellence, Italian craftsmanship and hospitality, offering an all-day dining experience, from pasticceria and breakfast to lunch, aperitivo, early dinner, and a selection of retail products.
