Convivio Italian Artisan Cuisine

The shining star of this restaurant was Gazi, who was our waiter. We went as a large group and they split our group into two (right next to each other) so the two tables had different wait staff. Our table had seven people. Gazi asked if it was our first time at the restaurant and we confirmed it was. He took the time to explain the entire menu. He discussed the different flavor profiles and gave suggestions. “If you like… then you would probably like…” He went into a lot of detail. Later, when we were looking at wine options, he did the same thing. He brought a menu with a map of Italy and discussed the different wines from each region and their flavor profiles. The food was really good. I enjoyed the focaccia bread appetizer and house made sauce. I actually enjoyed my husband’s Rigatoni Funghi Salsiccia more than my Bolognese, and I don’t even like mushrooms. The pasta was served al dente which I am not a fan of, but I also recognize that is my personal preference and that true Italian pasta often is served al dente. If I am in the area again, I would go back, and order my husbands dish this time. I asked the other table about their waitress and unfortunately, they did not get the same detailed information that Gazi had provided.

5 stars isn’t enough. It’s been 30 years since I’ve had a meal this magnificent. My cousins wanted to go to Chick Fil A. (We take the kids there all the time) but I wanted a real meal. So I came here by myself. I’m grateful they allowed a solo diner. Many upscale restaurants won’t. I was welcomed warmly and greeted promptly by my server Isabella. I ordered the beet salad and pumpkin infused gigli. I am completely in love with whoever opened this restaurant, whoever curated this menu and the chefs who made this food. It was truly an experience. The beet salad was incredible as was the pasta. Topped everything off with dessert. It’s an amazing experience. Perfect for a solo diner and amazing for a group as well. I’m looking forward to returning with friends.

Great food, great service, great ambience! The beet salad was remarkably—the best salad I’ve ever eaten. The savory, earthy beets, creamy goat cheese, salty pistachios, and crisp, and peppery arugula was deliciously memorable! The bolognese was excellent. The tiramisu was tasty but we will probably choose a different dessert the next time we frequent this great restaurant!
