VERY good and authentic Italian meal. Nice people and great atmosphere. Ordered the burrata, truffle gnocchi, and tiramisu (all amazing). Our table also enjoyed the strawberry sorbet, pistachio affogato, pork entree, and seafood risotto. You can tell the ingredients are great quality and chefs are incredible. Will definitely be back!

Convivio is such an amazing restaurant. Great, well curated Italian wines at reasonable prices. Every menu item I have tried has been great. I had the insalate Sfiziosa, Gnocchi alla Norcina, and the Cipolle al Forno. Wow. Gelato for dessert. The Il Sasso to wash it all down. Very much recommended.

Truly a dining experience that is best enjoyed with a large group of people. We had the pleasure of trying the family style dinner among a large party and it was a fantastic time- every dish was absolutely delicious and we got to try just about the entire menu. The owner was an absolute joy to be around and it felt like the type of restaurant you are proud to support. Authentic and awesome!

My friends and i had the greatest time learning how to make pasta in a private class with Giuseppe- the restaurant owner. He made the class so fun. He was so knowledgeable and likable. We learned so much and got to eat an incredible meal! The two hours was time well spent and he never kicked us out even when we were just kind of hanging out and having a great time! He’s not just serving classic authentic cuisine, he is proud of his heritage and using only the best quality. He is involved in every step of everything this restaurant does. 10/10 experience!

Italian dishes are always a personal favorite; this restaurant offers more of a unique authentic style of Italian cuisine. Assortment of dishes without overlapping and featuring pasta after pasta options. This restaurant has different choices. What grows together goes together, there are some wonderful wine selections, various varietals that one may not have tried before. It’s incredible. Guests can purchase bottles from the restaurant, which is a bonus as many wines you can’t get on your own. Overall, service both times by different team members was over the top type of hospitality care. The food is pretty flavorful + acceptable, but the wine list is the true showcase here; as it provides descriptions of each wine’s tasting profile and what to expect as you venture with a glass of it.
