Convivio Restaurant

I left satisfied. Everyone here was so welcoming.

Menu entrees very limited; food itself was fine- nice salad, burrata tomato dish was very good , cod was good, perhaps too spicy for some; but no chicken or beef, one seafood, only 2 pastas and no specials. Much better Italian options in area with some variety. Also, atmosphere completely marred by a bus cart being brought table side for plate removal- lazy and gross.They should nix the singer- she had a nice voice, but acoustics awful- sounded like we were on NYC subway platform.

With more entree options and traditional Italian dishes, this place would be even better.

The food is amazing. Surprised it wasn’t very busy

Amazing food and great service. We made a reservation and were met at the door by the owner and personally shown to our table. The owner and staff are very welcoming and give the restaurant a familial setting. We had an amazing time.

Outstanding Italian Food form an owner who emigrated from Italy . The Lasagna was the best I ever had.

We were very pleased with our dinner experience at Convivio The food was authentic and delicious. Both entrees, the two side dishes, and the dessert were excellent. Also, Rafael, our waiter, was very professional, polite, and friendly. We appreciated his fine service. He is a real asset to Convivio. After trying the Spring Menu, we look forward to trying other seasonal menus in the future. Convivio is a gem for Italian food lovers.

Incredible dining experience. We were a walk in but were fortunate enough to be seated anyway. The wait staff was super attentive and the food was delicious. We got a fun little rundown of each dish and how it was prepared. Absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Durham area.

Absolutely incredible ! I never do google reviews but this place was absolutely amazing and probably my favorite place in Durham right now.

Had a wonderful dinner at this cozy Italian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious—authentic flavors and perfectly cooked pasta. Shoutout to William, our waiter, who was incredibly kind and attentive. He really made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

My husband and I chose Convivo for our anniversary dinner and we enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was amazing, the staff was lovely, and our server was attentive. Our starter was a delicious burrata salad and my husband got this pork pizza - it was delicious and I got the lasagna. Definitely recommend. Only not so tasty thing was the apple pie. I’d skip that and just get some gelato!

Very nice guy running the place.

A wonderful spot for authentic Italian cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it perfect for a family dinner. The pizzas we ordered were absolutely delicious, and Lucia, our server, was incredibly friendly and helpful. She recommended an excellent wine that paired perfectly with our meal. The restaurant is also personally overseen by its owner, Giuseppe, which adds a nice touch of hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine Italian flavors!

No need to book your flight to Italy.. the best part is here in Durham. The food inspired me to paint the Mona Lisa and carve David out of Marble. The gnocchi was so tender it melted in my mouth and I felt I became one with the gnocchi. The olive oil transported me to a field like Maximus from Gladiator. The flavor was so natural I can feel generations of Italian grandmothers touch my shoulder, smile and tell me you have arrived. They should have all the stars in the sky but we will settle for 5.

The food was superb and authentic and the service was incredible! Also, the cocktails and wine were excellent. We had the burrata and pane & olio to start, then we had the tagliatelle and gnocchi. All of which were so well seasoned and had us pausing our conversations to savor and enjoy and making constant moans and sounds of pleasure. Then we finished with a delicious affogato. The owner and staff were super sweet and very attentive.

We went for dinner and got the chef's recommendation family style menu. Everything was enjoyable, and the wine pairing was delicious. Will definitely have to go back when we can. The fish and canellini bean dish was the standout winner, but everything was very good.
