I hosted my wedding reception here, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire experience. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Working with Cate was an absolute highlight of the planning process. Her communication was exceptional throughout, and she consistently went above and beyond to ensure every detail was thoughtfully handled. We met multiple times, and at each meeting she took the time to understand our vision, address any concerns, and adapt plans accordingly. She was incredibly flexible, creating and adjusting different layout options depending on weather scenarios, and always made us feel confident that everything would come together seamlessly no matter the circumstances. One of the most memorable parts of the planning process was the tasting Cate arranged for us--it was beautifully done and helped us feel completely confident in our menu selections. Her attention to detail and commitment to creating a personalized experience truly stood out. On the day of the event, everything was flawless. The space was transformed beautifully, the food was outstanding, the drinks were excellent, and the service was impeccable. Every element came together perfectly, and it was clear how much care and effort went into making our day special. Overall, our experience was nothing short of incredible. I highly recommend Meribo to anyone planning an event, you will be in the best hands! read more

Wow!! This place is the real deal!! I travel to Italy often and this food is amazing! I am also married to a classically trained Italian chef. She even says it's the best! Cannot believe this place is in little ole town Covington. Atmosphere is lively and fun too. read more

half dozen employees all doing their own thing, chatting ,eating, Music blaring , waiting for service, basically calling out to order a pizza that was burnt, woeful lacking in actual pizza sauce , mushrooms had been sautéed (not fresh) and were way too salty for me. Service was ridiculous and the place had maybe 2 tables. I paid for my coke and left after someone finally acknowledged that I wasn't happy, tells me that the pizzas are served charred cause the oven is 600 degrees. Well great thanks for explaining the obvious. . Literally burnt to a crisp on 30 percent of the crust that bubbled up ,so was not at all edible. The toppings were all in the middle which was soggy. Soggy burnt pizza, Where is management on a Sunday. Was anyone in charge? It was ridiculous! I was hungry and tired and left hungry, tired and annoyed. read more

I ate there on a Sunday afternoon, arrived around 3:00 pm. It took the group of servers behind me 5 minutes to decide who would take my table. I was one of three tables in the dining room. The service was bad, poor guy clearly didn't want to take the table. The Gabagoul pizza was excellent. The table was dirty, not cleanable surfaces. It was difficult to get employees attention, eye contact is very important. Pizza was good but not enough to get me to return. read more

Not from Louisiana. From Chicago was looking for a decent pizza, was not good. Brought my two kids who agreed, was expensive. Crust is not good, sauce was not good and cheese was not good. The garlic app was good. We had three pizzas for each, app, kids had desert and drinks. Was 169 with tip. Nope. read more

Changing my review because they took all of my favorites off the menu. The Brussel sprout and Rocket pizzas were my go to's for year. Also loved the Agnolotti for when I wasn't in a pizza mood. I haven't been able to find anything that I love on the new menu. Still holding out hope, but we don't go too often anymore. read more

My wife and I dropped by Meribo in downtown Covington for Sunday brunch and were quite pleased with our experience. The restaurant is well appointed with a contemporary, stylish persona and the dining area adjoining the full bar and kitchen is spacious and comfortable. Service is friendly and efficient. The brunch menu is focused, but offers a variety of wood fired artisanal pizzas in the Neapolitan style, as well as Interesting appetizers and specialty dishes. We had a whipped ricotta appetizer served with a flatbread fashioned from their homemade pizza crust, then shared their signature muffuletta pizza. Both were excellent. Prices were extremely competitive and quality was high. I'm told their broiled Brussels sprouts specialty dish is excellent, so we will try it on our next visit. We highly recommend Meribo! read more

This really isn't my kind of place and I'm really not picky. For two people to eat a sandwich apiece )a hamburger and a chicken sandwich) the bill was $60 with a tip. We went at about 4 pm on a Saturday. They charge for water which rubbed me the wrong way from the get go. I won't be back. I must be in the minority because it seems to be popular. I'm sure they won't miss my patronage. read more

Spinach and artichoke pasta had no flavor at all. The pizza is definitely the better choice

Wanted to select a fun brunch spot to celebrate a birthday. The menu online caught our attention and we've always enjoyed the vibe at Meribo, so we decided to give it a try! It did not disappoint! Every dish we ordered was delicious and had a "plus" factor which is why we really enjoy Meribo. Lots of sweet or savory options, plus their pizza oven is open for brunch too. LOVED the burger and the breakfast selections were all original and flavorful. Will definitely be back. read more

Mediocre pizza, unfriendly waitstaff, canned soft drinks, plastic water bottles. Enough said.. Hostess sat us, practically sprinted to the table, dropped off the menus and disappeared before we even got to our table. Waiter had zero personality. He wasn't unfriendly per se but it was kind of like interacting with an inanimate object. It's like the lights were on but no one was home, ya know? The pizza wasn't bad, but nothing to write home about. The ambiance is weird. It's like they can't figure out what they want to be. Kind of an open concept but not? Some random art on the wall. They hand you canned soda like you're at a concession stand but then charge $17 for a cocktail and put it in a fancy martini glass. Did i mention it felt like Antarctica inside? It's 43 degrees out.. would a little heat kill them? Waiter dropped off our check and walked away.. no friendly send off for us i guess. The best part of the experience was the milk and cookies and seeing a toddler with a bad 90's haircut. read more

Food is not good. Service even worse. Expensive . I went there once and will not recommend.

We visited in Thursday night to get together for my birthday. This is the third birthday I have spend with meribo and everytime it is so special. There was a large party of us, and our server, Sydney, was incredible! She did a great job at tailoring everything to fit our need and we couldn't be more satisfied. read more

I had my daughter's 16th birthday party on the patio in April. I would definitely recommend Meribo. The family style pricing was very fair and reasonable (we ordered salad, 2 sides, and 2 types of pizzas, and had 16 guests). The server was very friendly and attentive! She was great with bringing drinks, checking in with guests, making us feel welcome, and boxing the leftovers. The only reason I'd give 4 stars is because we were not advised prior that we would be charged a service fee for using a credit card to pay for the party... had I known prior, I would've brought cash to save the $60 in "service fees." read more

Found this place when checking Yelp for places to eat as I had been disappointed in Don's last time we came through Covington. Quaint place in historic area. Service was a bit slow but Brunch crowd was finishing up. Good was very good as were the cocktails. Our server was friendly & checked on us several times. Only suggestion is the stipulate brunch hours as menu does not offer pasta dishes. read more

Started off with a dirty martini. The pour was small for the price but very good. The men enjoyed their beers. Had the brussel sprouts which were amazing, pork meatballs and Caesar salads which were also good. We had the Soppressata pizza which was ok. It tasted like blueberries and the Sausage & Peppers which was a little better. The vibes, drinks, and appetizers were the best part. Pizza was ok. The service was pretty good as well. Young servers work here. read more

Loud. Food was so salty. Bartender was rude. Burger did not taste right. Everything was salty!!

Everything was absolutely delicious from the service to the food. The tater tots are also a great app you cant go wrong! The linguine and rigatoni are simple but very good. If you want to branch out the casarecce with wild boar was 10/10. As for the pizza the vinnie always steals the show :) read more

The restaurant was beautiful. The food was authentic Italian and absolutely delicious. The wood fired pizzas were phenomenal as well as their hot chicken sandwich, crispy brussel sprouts, fried risotto balls, and cherry stuff peppers with goat cheese. Our dessert was the icing on the cake. Fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookies with milk that tasted like melted ice cream! Service was great! Will definitely go back!

Meribo. The name combines the words: Meridionale (southern) and Cibo (food), and one did not disappoint. My wife and I have spent little time on the Northshore, but this little gem definitely impressed us. It is located just off the main street in downtown Covington, and is super cute. The restaurant was only about 1/3 full at 2pm on a Saturday, so we were seated promptly. The building has tons of large windows that let in lots of natural light. There is a large patio as well, but it was so hot out that we stayed indoors. The servers look like they are all in high school, but they were all very nice. The food all sounded wonderful. We ended up getting the whipped ricotta appetizer and the brussel sprout pizza. They were both good but the whipped ricotta was fantastic. I could eat that any day. The Brussel sprouts pizza was good, but not great. I would happily eat the pizza again, but I'd probably try some of their other pizzas first. Ambiance: 4.5 stars Service: 4 stars Food: 4.5 stars Value: 5 stars read more

Unfortunately I didn't take any photos but holy Molly y'all!!! The food was awesome!! We ordered two pizza's, the beet salad, the chopped salad, the meatballs, the brussel sprouts, the ciabatta, a wild bore pasta dish, then finally the cookies n milk! The chopped salad was an absolute show stopper!! The pasta dish was also incredible, the ciabatta was delicious and those were really my favorites. Pizza's were good too but nothing special. The cookies need a whole review of their own because good lord that was some of the best chocolate chip cookies I've EVER put in my mouth.. they were SO GOOD that I actually ordered a 2nd round to take home! Anyway... I'm super happy we've discovered this place in Covington! It's only 15 min from our house. Also wanted to note our server was really sweet and the restaurant felt very clean, including the bathroom. Having a clean bathroom is a very telling detail about the sanitation level of the rest of the facility. read more

Excellent Pizza, top quality ingredients but not very well run establishment. Ordered Pizza to go and waited and waited and waited...... Finally someone checked on the order and it seems like it was overlooked and now we waited some more. Don't order the salad!!! $13 for some chopped Iceberg lettuce is a bit much. read more

Y'all. This is the best pizza in the state. I first discovered Meribo's delicious pizza when they were located in Pythian Market in New Orleans. Since they closed that location I have driven thrice from New Orleans just to eat here because it's THAT good. Now anytime I find myself on the other side of the lake I make it a must to stop for delicious pizza! My favorite is the Sopressata pizza. Don't sleep on this one, it's so yummy. I don't even like olives on pizza, but these are something else. So if you are like me and ordinarily would say "no olives please" take a chance and get it, I promise it will change your life. Everything is made from scratch and the ingredients are high quality. I believe this is what makes their pizza stand out so much from the competition. My favorite apps are the Brussel sprouts and pimento cheesy tots. The portions are generous so perfect for eating family style. I also enjoy the crunchy Caesar salad. The service is always good and everything they've recommended has been great. Make sure you try this local gem out! read more

In the middle of the day when it's hot and you're doing the lords work at the public defenders office, it's refreshing to go out as a team to get some wood fire pizzas. Must get the Brussels sprouts to start! Can't go wrong with any of the pizzas. The service was very good as they anticipated our needs and the ambiance was shockingly modern. Very nice spot on the inside. read more

Made reservations for a busy Friday night 3 days prior such a good decision. From the appetizers to the entrees, everything was absolutely delicious. The crab meat spaghetti was worth every carb. Whipped ricotta, flash fried greens, and hot tots were also delicious. Ham and cheese pizza drizzled with yummiest truffle honey. Service was great, and made me feel incredibly safe by asking us to wear masks when not at the table. Can't wait to come back! read more

I arrived at 11 AM, as soon as they opened and I chose to sit at the bar. Loved the seating and the modern vibe of the spot. Especially loved the Artuc Monkeys, which were playing. Started off with a melograno Paloma cocktail, which proved to be delicious! So many choices so I stuck with the simplicity of linguini and some skillet bread, both were delightful, the bread was light and fluffy and perfectly prepared. The bartender was a very nice and attentive server, even while faced with stocking the bar. I will return soon to try something different and look forward to that visit! read more

EDIT: They've explained and apologized for making a mistake. Since I'm not on the North Shore on a daily basis, I'll change this review for now, and perhaps give them another chance in the future. This pizza place has a branded offshoot at the Pythian Market in new Orleans, and despite not having the best experience there, I gave the mother restaurant a try. The place is an impressive building, very airy and very Southern. The menu isn't quite the way I would have it (they like egg on salads a lot more than I do, for one thing, and they like vegetable pizza toppings less than I do), but of what I wanted to try, the "hot tots" were a quintessentially Louisiana thing in that I felt bad for ordering them because of the indulgence, but they were delicious. They come with spiced pimento cheese not as a side dip but melted into the pile of tots, which must be about a whole potato's worth and come in a hot iron skillet. On the pizza side, I'd hoped the food hall location had underrepresented their pizza, but it was much the same. The crust a bit too thin for my liking and tasted rather bland, with a sprinkling of sea salt-atypical for a margherita-apparently meaning to rescue it. Still, I would otherwise rate them better. The reason for my dissatisfaction is that despite eating during their happy hour, I didn't get the happy hour price on that pizza, with no explanation as to why. One could argue I should have handled it in the restaurant, but I really shouldn't have to litigate something that they do every day. The way I read their (very generous) policy, it's half price on pizzas 3-6 every day when you dine in, weekends included, regardless of whether one sits at a table or the bar. I hope it's not their business model to fail to honor their trademark deal (one that even the food hall location has a version of) unless you call them out on it. So unless I get some sort of explanation, I must register my disapproval. read more

What a great find in downtown covington! Unfortunately I had a big lunch , but I wanted to try the place before I left town! Service is truly Louisiana friendly and I sat outside in the patio area. They have a wonderful menu with lots of choices. I decided to try two of their appetizers. The Brussels sprouts and the meatballs. Both were excellent! I would have liked the meatballs to be a tad warmer temperature wise, but I understand it's tough to make fresh ones for each order. Flavor wise, they were excellent. The crusty bread that goes along was also amazing! Will definitely be back! read more
