Diana ShvartsbergMarch 17, 2013The food here is just alright, the appetizers were far tastier than the main courses. The atmosphere though is very cozy/ romantic, good spot for small bites & wine with a small group or the beau.- Djaniella D.January 28, 2015Everything I got on their menu was superb - from the appetizers to main course. Make sure to save some room for dessert! Even without the blueberries, their Panna Cotta was delicious.
Behrad EatsDecember 8, 2015Can't go wrong with the perfectly prepared Costoletas de borrego em crosta de pinhoes com couve-flor: Roasted pinenut crusted rack of lamb in port wine sauce with cauliflower
Chelsea RenaudMay 9, 2016from the outside it might look like a weird antiques shop, the interior is rustic and the Mediterranean-tinged Italian food is very good. Best seats in the house are on the back indoor/outdoor patio.
J CrowleyNovember 6, 2014Really great Italian food. Romantic as fuck for all you love birds. Tonnarelli wish shrimp tasted incredibly fresh. Gundi with spinach and ricotta would be a good appetizer split.
Nick BurtoNovember 29, 2014Super impressed with the cozy/rustic atmosphere, wines were great. Of the two pastas we had, both tasty, one very rich but delish. Salad special could have used less olive oil or a dash of balsamic.
Dylan MabinAugust 7, 2015The steak for two+ is always a treat. It comes with an arugula salad and rosemary roasted potatoes. One of the best octopus appetizers I've ever had. Great spot for special occasions.
The Corcoran GroupDecember 5, 2013The apple and cinnamon ravioli with duck ragu is absolutely to die for. If you're attending an event at the Barclays Center, build time in your schedule to come here first, trust us.
Caroline SchulweisOctober 9, 2016Cozy and rustic. Great wine selection from Italy, Portugal, and Spain.
Best food I've had in Brooklyn. Period. Try the Mozzarella or the Octopus to start and the Rabbit is divine. Make sure to get a table on the back porch, too. Its mostly covered and very romantic.- Halstead PropertyOctober 23, 2012Rustic Mediterranean charm & cuisine in the heart of Park Slope make this place a crowd pleaser, order the Carcofi alla Romana app of braised artichokes w/ mint & garlic for a mouth watering start.
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Roasted quail, roasted ribeye for two, whole seabass, and braised rabbit are the highlights of a very solid seasonal menu, and there's octopus and polenta, too. Read more
KoraycaNovember 16, 2016Chicken liver is so good that it disrupts conversation. Waiters all have strange hair, the wine list is endless. Without swinging by Convivium, an experience of Park Slope is incomplete...
Jo RausenOctober 2, 2012OMG the artichokes...fresh, full hearts. So subtle. Save your bread to dip in the mint-butter-oil. Followed by chicken livers wrapped in pancetta & I'm raving & the entrees havent even come yet!- Kyle ByeMay 31, 2015Enjoy a candlelit Italian dinner paired with excellent wines. My one piece of advice: don't skip a course. Everything is amazing, especially the apple and cinnamon ravioli!
Hamid TabibNovember 17, 2012Green apple cinnamon ravioli with duck ragu is fantastic for those looking to explore, but the strozzapreti with sausage/fennel is the traditional plate that reminds you of home. Order both!
This is worth my bi-weekly commute from Manhattan (for a great date and great food). The olive oil is great, especially with the artichoke appetizer. Ask for the wine special.- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015The rustic Italian farmhouse decor, Mediterranean wines, and romantic, candlelit atmosphere at this renowned neighborhood restaurant will transport you to another land even before you try the food.

2Plus2NYCReviewMay 3, 2011One of the better meals I have eaten. An all around stunner from the quaint restaurant to the perfectly prepared food. I am tempted to stop in for a glass of wine and the Tabla de Embutidos y Queso ev Read more
eric bornemannMarch 15, 2015Great place to be cozy on a cold winter night. Fantastic spanishish food and a wonderful wine list
Pelin Güvenç KefelJanuary 2, 2017LOVED this restaurant, the ambience the food was incredible it felt like dining in the heart of Tuscany
Nate TJanuary 12, 2016Absolutely delicious. Truly top notch and great for visitors to show off brooklyn's great eats.
Angeli de LeonOctober 13, 2017Great ravioli and decor! Big dining hall space to host a large group of people.
MimiJanuary 3, 2012Start with the apple cinnamon ravioli to share. Then move on to the rabbit and end with the vanilla panna cotta
Always a pleasure to eat here, get the steak for two if you have company or the rack of lamb if it's just you. The decor is so rustic and elegant at the same time, it's like being in another country.
RussOctober 11, 2011The apple and duck ravioli, oxtail pappardelle and quail appetizer are all excellent. Delicious fresh bread and olives too.
Charles BAugust 28, 2011Their signature ravioli with be duck ragu might sound strange but it's one of the best dishes in Park Slope. Bon appetit.
Salvatore RandazzoFebruary 4, 2012Felt like I was in Italy again. Excellent food, excellent atmosphere. Eat in the wine cellar! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Jack TarJuly 22, 2015A huge meat selection. I went with a group and voila a plate arrived full of meat to feed everyone twice over.
💖✨Brigitte V.✨💖February 24, 2011THE best restaurant in the Slope. Date night, family night, girl's night, friend's night, all occasions are an excuse to come here! A MUST TRY!
MattOctober 12, 2013Really great dining experience. I would totally recommend to anyone. Yummy food and great service
Rachel SheppardSeptember 16, 2013Enjoy tender and herbaceous Mediterranean meat dishes in the romantic, candlelit wine cellar.
Vindu GoelSeptember 8, 2012Busboys are awesome. Order the clams in broth - very good. Nice wine list.
Gene RayburnMarch 20, 2011The sea bass is good but they do not filet it for you. So expect to take the bones out yourself. The polenta is very good.
The perfect place for celebrating...love convivium osteria!
Daniel KriegerMarch 13, 2010The octopus salad was truly amazing and the steak for two was one of the better steaks we've had in the city!
⚠️Macro Error⚠️November 19, 2022First time here for a homegirls's birthday. Not my jam, a little too stuffy, but she picked the place. HBD Sister 🙂
