Husband and I had a great meal at CONVIVO last weekend! Absolutely the best Italian food I’ve had in NC - everything was seasoned just perfectly (even the simple salad was seasoned just right!). And not to mention an unbelievable wine selection too. Many vegetarian options were available, which is always appreciated (husband ordered gnocchi that he said was amazing). if the chef would be willing, I would be so excited to see a vegan pasta dish on the menu in the future (pasta contained egg). Even though I needed to skip the pasta, my dinner was absolutely delicious and super fresh - I was extremely happy. The service was also exquisite and the overall vibe of the place is just very cool and romantic. Can’t wait to go back

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Italy and were hankering for some food that took us back there, Convivio did not disappoint. Ambiance was simple and classic, service is impeccable, the server answered our questions thoughtfully, and provided great recommendations. The food was fantastic, we had an appetizer, first course, second course and dessert.Everything was amazing, but especially the risotto and lamb. Wine menu also outstanding. We will certainly be back.

My partner and I had a lovely experience here. The food tasted great and was obviously prepared with care. The server was knowledgeable of the wine and food. The space was relaxing and made us feel like we were enjoying an authentic Italian meal with family and friends. At no point did we feel rushed - we were able to sit and enjoy the food and each other. We will definitely be back! Also the dessert was delicious!!

My group booked a wine tasting with a party of 20 guests and we had the best time. Giuseppe was extremely knowledgeable abo the wines that we tasted (and they were yummy). We also had some nice anti pasto! Can't wait to go back & try their dinner menu and experience the alley way when they get that open!!

My husband and I had a phenomenal anniversary dinner at Convivio. This is authentic Italian food. If you've been to Italy and want a reminder of your travels, you will love it! Everything we tried was incredible, and the wine selection was very nice as well. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Fantastic dinner here with family. Limited menu with fresh, seasonal ingredients and an extensive selection of Italian wines. Staff was so welcoming and relaxed. We sampled gnocchi, cacio e pepe, and octopus (the fresh fish of the day), all of which were excellent. Wish I lived here and this could be my local.

Superior care and craft in the preparation, presentation, and customer experience. The wine selection is personally selected and imported by ownership and the food is phenomenal - the pork belly/loin in particular. Wines available to take home...and we did.

Went over Valentine’s Day weekend and there was a limited menu. Great ambiance, music, and service, and you get to see staff plating food in the back—lovely touch. I look forward to trying their full menu sometime. Ample portion of shaved truffle on the risotto. I’m used to less upscale Italian restaurants and would’ve loved to have seen slightly larger portions and bread for the table and for fare la scarpetta. Great service again.Edited to remove comment about them charging for water.

Very delicious and I will absolutely be back. The burrata Pinsa (Roman pizza) was the absolute star! The mains were a tad on the small side for the high price point but you can tell the quality of ingredients is top notch.
