COVA, the historic Italian pasticceria and LVMH Group member, reopened its store at Pacific Place, offering a selection of handmade delicacies like Neapolitan sourdough pizza and a nano cake collection to welcome loyal customers.
Paola Faccioli, chief executive of COVA Montenapoleone said, “Pacific Place has always held a special place in COVA’s story in Hong Kong. More than the unveiling of a new space, this opening is a renewal of our promise to bring Milanese artistry, craftsmanship, and tradition to life in Hong Kong.”
“With every detail, from our handmade pastries to our signature cakes, we want guests to feel the same sense of refinement and joy that one experiences at our Montenapoleone home in Milan,” he added.
Martin Lee, chief operating officer (Chinese & Western Restaurants) of Maxim’s Group said, “Our partnership with COVA reflects our commitment to enriching Hong Kong and Macau’s culinary landscape with world-class dining experiences.”
“As we celebrate the grand opening of COVA at Pacific Place, we pledge to continue COVA's tradition of excellent service and quality, ensuring each local outlet embodies the elegance and tradition of our Milan flagship,” Lee added.
The refurbished Pacific Place store introduces a concept to Asia, inspired by the Milan COVA Montenapoleone flagship.
A five-foot-tall Cake Manifest welcomes guests, reminiscent of its Milanese counterpart with layers of cakes and pastries.
The store blends pasticceria and caffetteria, offering an experience from morning to evening.
It features Italian espresso, Milanese-style breakfasts, artisanal cakes, gelato, handmade Neapolitan sourdough pizza, and elegant gifting options.
This all-day venue includes full-service dining, a takeaway coffee bar, and a dedicated cake shop with exclusive creations.
COVA Pacific Place has launched several new handcrafted pastries available for pre-order just three days in advance.
Include Chocolate-Coated Mini Fans with Pistachio (HK$9 each, minimum order of 12) and Classic Lemon Custard Cannoncini (HK$24 each, minimum order of 12).
Additionally, COVA introduces a Neapolitan Handmade Sourdough Pizza, the first of its kind in Asia.
Baked on-site, each eight-inch pizza features a golden-brown, slightly charred crust and airy, chewy dough for an authentic Naples taste.
Available in two traditional flavours: Margherita (HK$188) and Parma Ham (HK$198).
The opening introduces the nano cake Collection, a new series of three-inch cakes co-created by COVA Milan and Hong Kong.
Nano Berry (HK$138): Filled with fresh blueberry cream and whole blueberries, crowned with a scattering of purple sponge crumble for textural contrast.
Nano Coconut (HK$158): A coconut milk and white chocolate shell, adorned with toasted coconut chips and flakes, featuring layers of fresh coconut meat, cream, mousse, custard, and chiffon cake.
Nano Choco (HK$168): Made with 64 percent French chocolate, this cake balances bitter and sweet with layers of truffle, mousse, sponge, and hazelnut feuilletine, topped with a crispy chocolate coating, pecan grains, and gold leaf.
Additionally, the store offers COVA’s Classic Afternoon Tea Set (HK$438 for two), featuring signature Italian pastries, perfect for reconnecting with friends or enjoying a quiet afternoon with loved ones.
