Convivio Italian Artisan Cuisine: Reviews & Ratings
Always delicious - super fresh salads and lovely housemade pastas. A neighborhood favorite, but also worth the drive if you live farther away.
Juan B was awesome! This was our 1st time eating here. He explained everything well. I was celebrating my birthday and I am so glad we came here. A co-worker recommended Convino. It is her favorite Italian restaurant. Now, it's mine also! Pansotti taste is so amazing!! I will definitely be back! Thank you, Convivio, for making my birthday perfect!!!!
We had the absolute best experience for Mother’s Day. I was worried that it would be hectic and it was not at all. Easy to make reservations. When we came in we were immediately seated and greeted by our server. Calamari appetizer was delicious (and had shrimp too!). I was initially concerned that my kids wouldn’t find something they liked since it was all “fancy”. No issues with that! My son had the margherita pizza which he said tasted just like it did in Italy. My daughter was able to pick what pasta, sauce, protein and vegetables she wanted. I picked the yummy Nero dish. The food was excellent across the board. The serving size was also very generous. We packed about half the food for us to take home. Also so we could have desert. My favorite is the chocolate cake and it did not disappoint. Thank you Convivio for a very special Mother’s Day! I believe we may make this an annual tradition.
The food is absolutely fantastic, with every dish made from the freshest ingredients. The service is exceptional attentive, friendly, and prompt. It’s clear that they take pride in what they do. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience!
I come to Convivio very often, and every visit is just as amazing as the last. Their squid ink pasta is simply the best and I have yet to find another place that comes close! The dish features hand made squid ink spaghetti, tossed with a luxurious lobster cream sauce. The combination of lobster, shrimp, and crab creates an incredible depth of flavor, while the sun-dried tomatoes add just the right touch of sweetness. It’s perfectly balanced and absolutely unforgettable. If you love Italian food, this place is a must visit!
Authentic flavors, bold and delicious! Convivio offers great options and quick service that transports your palate to the shores of the Mediterranean for a delightful sampling of the different regions of Italy. The use of quality ingredients and well balanced flavors are masterful. Will return.
Staff was very nice, food was delicious and fresh. We went during a heatwave and it was really warm in the restaurant. I felt bad for their wait staff would had to wear heavy long-sleeve shirts. They've got to turn up the air conditioning for everyone's sake. As for the food, we were both pretty pleased with our choices- from the appetizers, to the dessert. They weren't serving pizza when we went, which I assume had something to do with the heat, so I understood. My husband and his family are Italian and it got their seal of approval, so that meant something!
we went to this place for a date night dinner last month. the menu options were great, the service was good too. Food portions were large and tasty. especially the Tagliatelle al Convivio. its a good place to go for italian food. we had an issue with the condensation from the air conditioner dripping on us in the booth where we were sitting, so the waiter promptly moved us to a different seat.
