Convivium Osteria

We spent Christmas Eve dinner here. We are not meat eaters but we found delicious choices. The polenta was creamy and earthy. I found the pasta with squid ink a tad too salty but otherwise well prepared. The atmosphere was rustic and cozy reminiscent of a recent visit to Italy. The service was excellent. Top class by accessible . We were glad we could get a table for two by calling ahead.

Worth the hype. The service was quick, they accommodated us without a reservation thankfully but I’d suggest making one as it’s a very small restaurant. It was my first time trying rabbit and they made my experience so enjoyable. The flavors were perfect for the type of meat, it wasn’t overwhelming nor underdone, just perfect. We also had the duck ravioli which was also great but the portion could have been a little bigger. Wine selection was amazing, overall would recommend if need to Barclays.

Convivium Osteria is definitely great. You are transported to an italian antique house upon entering the restaurant. The service was a little confusing at times, but very professional and courteous. The highilights of my meal were definitely the sweet ravioli with peking duck ragu and the rabbit with polenta. Both dishes are so unique and well done. Two of my favorite italian dishes in NYC so far. Would definitely recommend.

Had an amazing time at this wonderful establishment this past Friday and I was impressed. The service was amazing, the restaurant itself is classy and has that Italian dining feel to it with its dim lightning, rustic esthetic, and the wine cellar section is perfection. The food was delicious! I'll definitely be back real soon. If you're thinking about going here for any occasion, do it!!! Be sure to make reservations as this place is usually very busy.

Perfect date night spot, or to bring out of town family. Precise, well executed northern Italian worthy of it's Michelin star at an incredible value for money. It's so good it should have a line down the street, but doesn't yet. Wine list is intelligently designed and regional, service is spot on but unpretentious. I speak as a CMS somm who has worked decades in high end: this is where industry people go on a Monday night date when they want everything to be exactly right without any fuss. At the same time, it's not threateningly original; you can take your small town family members here when they're visiting and they won't be weirded out, but you won't be bored and annoyed. Sophisticated enough for NYC without being too Brooklyn weird for middle America. Brilliant. Get in while you still can; I anticipate in the near future they'll be booked out for months in advance.
