Reviews for Convivium Osteria in Brooklyn, NY
Excellent service. They were busy but attentive. Came to Park Slope for dinner and the food was very good, I would recommend it... to those looking for a romantic Italian spot in that neighborhood. Table ordered Burrata, Caesar, Artichoke, Shrimp,Tagliatelle, Linguini, Lasagna, and Lamb. We had an excellent time, but didn’t leave feeling like I had to come back tomorrow. The wine cellar was closed but we had a peak downstairs and it was very charming. The whole place is charming, just not mindblowing. The good news is, most people prefer to just be charmed. Read more
Always a great experience when you come here for dinner. Seating downstairs in the wine cellar is always nice when with a bigger... group. There is a reason this place has been here so long — great service and food! Read more
Great food, great service in an amazing wine cellar. Had the Caesar salad and the fettuccine. It is a pricey so look up the... menu ahead of time. Read more
Tip: ask to be seated in the wine cellar if there's availability! Great ambience! Amazing service! Great food(except for the... chicken)! Read more
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 intelligentlydesigned and regional, service is spot on but unpretentious. I speak as a CMS somm who has worked decades in high end: this iswhere industry people go on a Monday night date when they want everything to be exactly right without any fuss. At the sametime, it's not threateningly original; you can take your small town family members here when they're visiting and they won't beweirded out, but you won't be bored and annoyed. Sophisticated enough for NYC without being too Brooklyn weird for middleAmerica. Brilliant. Get in while you still can; I anticipate in the near future they'll be booked out for months in advance.

Underwhelming. Had the ravioli, lasagna, rabbit, octopus, shrimp, and sea bass (fish of the day). The ravioli was especially... confusing - being very sweet yet ladled with Bolognese made it unclear whether it was a main course or a dessert. The sea basswas well cooked, however, lacked sufficient seasoning. The rabbit was somewhat dry and tough. Lasagna was nothing to write homeabout. Overall, had higher expectations, though the atmosphere was very cozy and romantic. Read more
Three trips to the Friuli region recently cancelled!! Luckily a trip to Brooklyn to visit our daughter brought us a step closer... to Italy. Real authentic Italian dishes offered and all of ours were delicious. No picture of the polenta with oyster mushrooms& taleggio cheese but it was incredible. Looks like we will be visiting Our daughter more often. Read more
