I've been to Noche more times than I can count, and at this point it's safe to say they simply don't miss. I've made my way through the entire menu (food and drinks), and there honestly isn't a single item I wouldn't recommend. Everything is consistently spot on every single time. That kind of reliability is hard to find, and it's exactly why I keep coming back. That said, a few personal favorites stand out. The goat cheese flatbread appetizer is a non-negotiable. It's the kind of dish you order "for the table" but secretly don't want to share. The cacio e pepe and pasta rustica are also incredible and always hit. As for drinks, the seasonal espresso martini is always a go-to and never disappoints. But my personal favorite is either the regular old fashioned or, when I'm feeling myself, the wagyu old fashioned... especially if Scott is behind the bar. He clearly knows what he's doing, and it shows. The service is always warm, attentive, and consistent, which makes the whole experience even better every time. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, and a bartender who takes his craft seriously. I'll definitely be back (again...and again). read more

Very beautiful interior and our server was wonderful. I had a Caesar salad due to the lack of options for me. I would love to see them add some seafood to the menu. Maybe on day. Glad to have had the experience and my salad was good. It would have been nice if it was a bit larger since it was my meal. They offered me chicken or beef but I don't eat it. Pasta was a vegetarian offering but not if you want some protein. Very popular space that look us weeks to get into. With so many local Italian options I believe I will try another one. read more

empanadas were good but alfio's are definitely better: buffalo chicken is spicy (a little too much for me), italian sub was ok, spinach was good. burrata was perfect - a little sweet and a little spicy summer affair is nice and summer drink primavera is strong manhattan style drink ( both good) Bbq wagyu pasta was good, but i'd say it needs less sauce and add additional meat as a topping and it'd be just right. Braised short rib pasta was really good, would order again. dulce de leche tiramisu is nothing like tiramisu - i did not prefer it. salted caramel espresso martini was really good! Service was friendly and ambiance was fine but we were sat in front of the bar near the front door so it felt like we barely made it into the building lol. read more

I stopped in here yesterday to have a late lunch and a cocktail. I was greeted at the door by a host and chose to sit at the bar. Parking was easy on the street outside the restaurant. I have had this spot on my list for a while. I started with a cocktail, the Soda Italia Mojito and it was so refreshing, bubbly, and delicious without being overly sweet. I ordered an appetizer for my meal. Unfortunately I did not feel well and ended up taking almost all of this home with me. I ordered the Bourbon Wagyu Burrata. This app was hand pulled mozzarella stuffed with braised wagyu brisket and bourbon butter and served with crostini. I just ate this for lunch and it was absolutely delicious. The bartender said these are made to order, mozzarella pulled and filled after I placed my order. The atmosphere was cozy and right in the heart of Covington. Both bartenders were super friendly and when I said all of a sudden I did not feel well, they took my meal and put it in a box for me and got me an ice water to go. I will definitely stop in the restaurant again to give something else on the menu a try. Probably will order the same cocktail as it was so good. read more

Was my 1st here, kinda have mixed review, because half of the things I did enjoy and the other half not so much! The burrata was good, the char taste of the bread is definitely what brought out the flavor of everything in the appetizer.... The brisket ravioli was definitely the star of the show and wish I got that over my spicy chicken alla vodka. ... chicken was Amazing not a fan of the sauce, the menu claims that it is all vodka. It is definitely more a roasted red pepper does not taste anything like alla vodka at all. So not a fan of that dish..... if anything I would order the brisket, ravioli, and put the spicy chicken on top.... I did enjoy the Mulligan cocktail with the Owens Ginger beer .... Had excellent flavor. read more

Food prepared with care, delightful service, and a spot surrounded by the fun of Covington- you can't go wrong with a night at Noche. To start, the bread service with that hot honey butter was completely craveable. At this point, I was happy to spoil my appetite with bread and knew leftovers would be in my future! Next, was the one disappointment of the evening- the goat cheese salad. While the fried goat cheese was good, fruit on arugula does not a salad make. The ingredients didn't really cohere together and I would skip it next time. On to the main event- Braised short rib penne was exactly as promised, a creamy, decadent marriage of al dente pasta, bright spinach, and tender beef. That and the bread will keep me coming back for more! read more

Lovely experience at Noche! I sat outside with some close friends on a perfect spring day, which already set the tone, and the meal kept it going. I ordered the wagyu brisket ravioli, and it was exactly what I hoped for; tasty, cheesy, and genuinely delicious. Almost like southern hospitality meets Italian! The portion wasn't huge, especially for the price, but the flavor definitely delivered. What really stood out, though, was the service. Our server was fantastic, super knowledgeable about the menu and specials, incredibly accommodating, and somehow managed to keep our water glasses full at all times without ever interrupting the flow of the meal. It's the kind of service that makes you feel taken care of without being hovered over. Overall, Noche is a bit on the pricey side, but the atmosphere, quality, and service made it worth the visit. I'd happily go back, especially on another beautiful day. read more

This is my favorite special occasion restaurant in Covington! Better than Carmelo's, better than Mama's. We walked in at 8:45 expecting them to be booked up, but the girls at the host stand were so sweet and fit us in at 9. The bar is all open seating and they really cared about our experience and asked what we were celebrating. They got sat within 15 minutes, and our server Yousef was also fantastic! My sister was celebrating a new job, and he brought us champagne and dessert on the house as well as being super knowledgeable about the menu and kind to us. He also went the extra mile of splitting everything for us without having to ask. Cannot recommend Noche enough; they're doing everything right here! read more

Noche - Cacio e Pepe - Italian Near Me - Covington, Kentucky

Noche is going to shake things up if they haven't already! This is the old Rich's Proper spot totally revamped. The decor and the exposed kitchen is the icing on the cake. It's dark and moody but inviting. The service was great , I haven't had this good of service in while especially sitting at a table. They do take reservations but they fill fast and I know why. The drinks are boozy and the food is hot and fresh. They make everything daily which had me excited. The server/bartender Scott had great recommendations and did not lead us astray. The chocolate bread pudding ( not pictured ) don't leave without it! The cacio e Pepe with the thin sliced chicken breast, I could eat every damn day. Make sure you pay them a visit ! read more

We had an amazing visit to Noche! We love all Of Chef Alfio's restaurants and this one was just as great! We enjoyed cocktails and a variety of food. For appetizers we enjoyed their seasonal deviled eggs along with the our on Waugh Brisket Burrata, both of which were delicious! Since it sounded so amazing (and was) we both orders the Short Rib Penne. Just melt in your mouth good! We ended the meal with their Bread Pudding which was a great finishing touch! Our server Jeremy was on point throughout the night giving the best service! We are already planning our next visit! read more

Finally had a chance to try out Noche during Cincinnati Restaurant Week and I highly recommend! No chance the perfect date night . We were greeted as soon as we arrive and actually able to be sat earlier than our reservation. I serve it was very attentive and they always make sure our waters were full and we had fresh silverware for our various courses. He decided to go with cocktails or wine, but there's quite extensive wine list. The braised short rib penne was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. It had a rich, but not very dense sauce. The desserts were very rich, (blueberry chocolate chip bread pudding, and chocolate caramel tiramisu Bundt cake) so after a heavy pasta dinner kind of a lot. But still tasty! read more

Overall not bad. We had some chicken slider appetizers, deviled eggs, and fundido. Cheese and sliders were excellent. I didn't try the deviled eggs. I got the lasagna which I thought was bland. Tried my friends truffle pasta and was very good. Ambience is great and service was top notch. I just think it needs etching more to stand out with so many new Italian restaurants. read more

Loved this restaurant. Our server was very helpful & nice. We got the Bourbon Wagyu Brisket Burrata, which was such a unique & tasty dish. The brisket flavor was rich & layered, & the burrata was creamy. The Pasta Rustica was good, the shrimp was fresh & well-seasoned, & the tomatoes were warm & complemented the rest of the dish very nicely. The sauce was a bit watery, which isn't my preference, but it had a good flavor. The ambiance was elevated but still welcoming, & the crowd was very mid-to-late 20s. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. I would absolutely go back again. read more

We had reservations for 6 pm on Tuesday. The place was maybe 1/3 full. Over the next 30 minutes or so the place filled up. It's a relatively small space; I strongly recommend reservations. We started off with Bread Service (Served with herbed bone marrow butter and hot honey butter), Deviled Eggs (the daily this Tuesday was Pork Belly) and Goat Cheese Salad (Fried Goat Cheese served over a prosecco poached apple, fig, and walnut salad, finished with a honey truffle vinaigrette). The bread had a great charred flavor and was soft and crunchy at the same time. I only tried the hot honey butter, which I found tasty with just a twinge of heat. There were five of us and when we ordered two servings of deviled eggs, our server told us they'd bring us five rather than the usual four so we all could try one. The price was split across two bills and I didn't notice whether there was an extra charge for the fifth egg. It doesn't matter, they were good. The pork belly was warm and slightly crispy. It was a unique combo. The salad was absolutely delicious. The fried goat cheese was a taste sensation. It exploded with flavor and mixed beautifully with the apple and fig. The salad was dressed lightly with honey truffle vinaigrette. It was a wonderful bite. There were two Spicy Chicken Penne meals (Penne tossed in a spicy creamy vodka tomato sauce with fresh Argentine relish) at the table, both ordered with a thin piece of breaded chicken. I had a taste and I thought it was pretty good. The chicken was better than I expected (it looked like it might be tough) and the vodka sauce was good. It was not especially spicy. Cacio e Pepe (House-made fettuccine tossed in the flamed parmesan wheel and finished with white truffle oil), also ordered with breaded chicken, received rave reviews. Pulled Brisket BBQ Ravioli (Slow braised brisket tossed stuffed ravioli tossed in a cheddar alfredo sauce and topped with truffle slaw) was very well received. We all received the clean plate award; kudos to the chef. Three Bread Pudding (Bourbon, blueberry, and chocolate chip bread pudding topped with a bourbon caramel sauce) were thoroughly enjoyed. One Cheesecake (Peanut butter and mascarpone cheesecake topped with Bourbon Whip) was ordered. I had one bite and thought it was fantastic. I had Tiramisu Cake, which wasn't on the menu. It was the largest and the lightest of the three desserts. I didn't think there was any way I could finish it, but I most certainly did. Great meal in a comfortable, classy and casual atmosphere. Perfect! read more

Love what they've done with the old Rich's Proper. Great decor and use of space. Make a reservation or they will only seat you at the bar or outside. Solidly busy on a Friday night so the service was a little slow, however Peyton more than made up for it. She brought so many little touches to make the meal go well. From complimentary cocktails, bubbles and a desert sample, the service here is really welcoming. Thanks Peyton! So on to the food, the pair behind Alfio's has totally taken it up a notch with this gem. Every dish was unique, flavorful and left you wanting more. Take the plunge and get the bread service, perfect complement to the meal. I really enjoyed the fried goat cheese tropical salad. Empanadas were as good as expected. Fundido is cheesy and delicious. Standout of the meal is the brisket ravioli. It shouldn't work, but it does and that is extremely special and worth trying. We did not save room for desert BUT got a small sample of the bread pudding and OH MY GOD (imagine me saying that like Janice from Friends) it's a must have. With a bourbon ice cream topper, it melted right in my mouth. Not to be forgotten are the cocktails, lots of fun and seasonal options. The only thing that didn't make the cut was the cacio de pepe. I had high hopes (they toss it in a flaming Parmesan wheel) but I think the fettuccini noodle took away from the experience. read more

This place was tiny, 20 tables at most; but very cozy and cute. Walk into to the bar and the tables are in the other room. Soft candles and plants everywhere. We had Peyton as our server and we couldn't he happier with her. She was absolutely amazing, lively knowledgeable and sweet. She knew her menu and was so helpful with recommendations and decisions on what to order. All the food was fresh and flavorful. Absolutely delicious!!! Everything we had was on point. The braised beef ravioli came out with slaw on top and we were questioning, but after the first bite it all made sense. Don't question just go for it. Fabulous experience all around. Definitely recommend a must try!!! read more

The menu is mostly Italian with a variety of pasta entrees, but you'll see an Argentinan flare too with dishes like the fundido cheese and empanadas. Arancini - served over a garlic parm aioli. A great light appetizer Caesar Salad - the dressing is both light yet creamy. A big salad Caprese & Prosciutto Salad - with large pieces of fresh mozzarella and heirloom tomatoes Pan-seared Lasagna - hefty layers of saucy red and ricotta. A big filling portiok Braised Short Rigatoni - extra cheesy in a truffle spinach sauce. Vegetarian Peanut Butter Cheesecake and bread pudding desserts were both delicious and crafted with care I truly can't choose a favorite because it's all that delectable. I praise them for the ample amounts of cheese (without even needing to ask) and the incredibly quick and attentive service. The space is intimate and good for a date night, but a reservation is definitely recommended to get in read more

Worth the wait (almost 1 month out for a dinner reservation for us)! Our table started with a burrata to share and my friends ordered cocktails to enjoy with their meal. The burrata was filled with short rib and a great starter. I really enjoyed the braised short rib pasta, the lasagna and cacio; each pasta was great in the own way. We were able to try the bread pudding for dessert and it hit the spot. Excited to come back in the future! read more

I've been wanting to try Noche from all the great things we've heard- and we got to make a reservation for a date night finally! The menu was a bit different than what's online- but it was mainly a good thing! I was wishing to try the arancini, but we decided on the chicken parm sliders and WOW- we all agreed they were the star of the show. Every dish and drink was delicious. The pasta was truly amazing... I definitely recommend getting ANY dish that has the braised short rib. I am excited to come back and try more! read more

This may be my favorite new restaurant in Covington. What a a gem with a burst of flavors in every bite. My server gave us great recommendation and was very friendly.

I only came in for drinks... but man, they were awesome. Stayed until closing and somehow ended up helping the staff shut the place down. I didn't catch the bartender's name -- so let's just call him Ethan the Enlightened--but regardless of his name he was an absolute legend. He made my martinis with Gorgonzola-stuffed olives, and even though I'm usually a blue cheese guy, those Gorgonzola beauties changed my life. I saw the light, and it was brined. When I told "Ethan" I liked my martinis dirty, he asked if I preferred them light, dark, or "Cincinnati River Water." If you've ever seen that river, you know it's the exact color of chocolate milk, and I nearly spit laughing. The drinks were perfect, the vibe was great, and I left feeling like I'd just met a mixology messiah. I'll definitely be back for more divine cocktails--and next time, I'm staying for the food too. read more

Went to dinner here on a Wednesday night with 2 friends. They only had room at a sideboard/ bar - impressive for a Weds night in November! We had the burrata to start, which was divine! I had a specialty margarita that was exquisite. For dinner, I had the chicken with vodka sauce, which had a pleasant kick to it. My one friend had the lasagna, which he deemed "incredible", and my other friend had the brisket ravioli - also deemed incredible! We polished it off with a shared blueberry bread pudding with a bourbon whipped cream - HEAVENLY. The service was equivalent to a 5 star restaurant- absolutely outstanding. The chef personally served us our entrees. I would recommend Noche to everyone looking for an elevated dining experience, full of flavor, in Covington. Can't wait to go back! read more

Perfect. Food and service. I have never had anything I didn't absolutely love. Deviled eggs were the best!

A great place for a nice dinner. Some of the tables were cramped when trying to fit 4 people. The food was delicious. The Cacio e Pepe was a little too heavy and too much truffle for my liking, but it was still delicious. Service was great except towards the end. We ordered a shot of espresso with our dessert at least 4 times until we finally received it. read more

Good food. Attentive service. Friendly. GREAT cocktails ... and they have Chartreuse!

I'm a big fan of Alfio, so I knew this spot was going to be awesome. I had the caesar salad and the lasagna, both were amazing. I had enough lasagna to eat half for lunch the next day (but honestly could have housed it that night). The service was great and the ambiance is cozy. It's tricky to get a reservation, but aren't the all the best places like that? If you can get in, check it out for sure. read more

As an Alfio fan, I was very excited about this new place. The food was incredible and the staff were top notch. The decor was nice and the bar area is friendly and welcoming. It is a small dining space, so I recommend a reservation. The food came out so slow- not sure if it was a kitchen issue or a communication issue. Regardless, I'll still be back because the food was amazing. We split the short rib sliders, Caesar salad, cacio e pepe, and the peanut butter cheesecake. All were 10/10. They even split our portions on separate plates for the salad and pasta. The cacio e pepe may be the best pasta dish I've had in area. The homemade noodles and peppery, creamy sauce with truffle oil was so decadent. We will be back! read more

The service and ambience was great! The food is good. I have to go back and try again, but the pasta was very fresh. We tried the burrata, the deviled eggs topped with a confit,,the goat cheese salad, the orecchiette and the tenderloin pasta. Of all those, the Orecchiette was the winner. The Deviled eggs was the second. We also had dessert which was the peanut butter cheesecake and the Affogato. Personally, I felt the affogato needed more ice cream because the coffee was a bit intense and thick. overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience and I would go again. read more

Two of us for our anniversary dinner and we are huge fans of Alfios and one of us had eaten here previously. Service was decent although our drinks took a little longer. Started with the goat cheese flatbread and it was delicious. Bread dough was wonderful. We both ordered a pasta dish. She had the chicken piccata ravioli and I had the tenderloin tagliatelle. Her chicken piccata was OK but had too much lemon in it. My pasta was average. The sauce seemed like it was right out of a can and did not have much richness or depth to it like we were used to from Alfio's. We did not order dessert. It will be awhile before I go back. read more

Cannot speak highly enough on this incredible meal. The setup of the restaurant was inviting and lively. I started with espresso martini and it was one of the best I've ever had. The short rib sliders and bread service were amazing starters and would highly recommend. I ordered the cacio e pepe as an entree and it was well portioned and delicious. Look forward to coming back and trying more things on the menu! read more

Omg the cacio e pepe gave me life. I'm the only vegetarian in my family and so I ordered this and everyone else got different meals. Hands down everyone loved the cacio e pepe the best. But if you don't like truffle then maybe try something else. read more

Better than perfect. I split the fried goat cheese salad with my wife. Tactical error, because I wish I'd had it all myself. I just never counted on a salad being that good. Cannelloni was just right. OMG the Cacio e pepe! Best I've ever had. Skip the protein and let the truffle shine. Cocktails were great. All that was perfect. Our server Tristan, though, was next level. Spot on with everything we needed, but also engaging and fun. They really took the experience to the next level. Just a perfect night. Thank You!!! read more
