Reviews for Convivio Italian Artisan Cuisine in Carmel, IN

Another great italian restaurant in Indy!! Nero, Olive E Fichi and beet salad were all so original and tasty. Price is a bit... high side but it was worth the money. Read more

Fantastic birthday experience over Labor Day weekend. Loved the food, vibe, and service! Their bread and oil is superior. The... pizza was so cheesy and fresh, and the homemade pasta was wonderful! I got the rigatoni and the flavors were perfectly balanced.Loved the amount of goat cheese offerings on the menu! Read more

Two separate visits spaced over a month both showed that this restaurant values and maintains an inviting atmosphere, polite and... attentive service, and delicious food with thoughtful though pricey wine pairings. I did not experience any of the meat dishes,but vegetarian (delicious pizza) and pescatarian (a pasta dish) offerings did not disappoint. The highlight was the pasta dishNero, with pasta actually made on the premises with squid ink, sundried tomatoes, seafood in a lobster cream sauce. No skimpingon the portions or the quality. Buon appetito! Read more

Last pasta I ever need to eat. Torchiette pasta with dried figs, black olives, basil, goat cheese and parmesan. Tagliatelle... tossed in beef-pork-veal ragu. The beet salad was a work of art. (My picture doesn't do it justice.) We sat in the bar area andwere waited on by Austin. Excellent food and service. I highly recommend! Read more

I’ve been twice in this location. Last one I walked out a bit disappointed. I went with the chef suggestion and ordered the... catch of the day. A frozen tilapia from Walmart was better than that. By no mean I am trying to be disrespectful but that is thetrue. 0 flavor! A friend says is my fault because “I ordered fish in an Italian restaurant”. My bad for thinking that acountry that is surrounded 90% by water could have good seafood. A restaurant with this prices and this location shouldn’t behaving a fish with such a lower quality. For what I saw in the reviews I am not the only one who felt the same way about thatfish. Minimum you guys should have sea bass or something of similar quality. Other than that, I am giving it 4 stars becauseboth times the service and most of the food, except for that catch of the day was excellent. The spaghetti Al Nero was new to meand was awesome. The fritto Al misto and insalata di polpo were really good too and same with the deserts and red wines. I amalways recommending this restaurant to my friends and coworkers and I am sure you guys can do better about that fish, startingby removing it from your menu and especially from the chef suggestion or daily special. I will be back for sure. Read more

5/8/22 We we’re back in town this weekend and my wife wanted to go back to Convivio for Mother’s Day. We came across this... restaurant about 6 months ago and we were really looking forward to coming back here for dinner with our kids. Convivio did notdisappoint. I would recommend making a reservation so you have a table because this place stays busy. My wife and I started withtheir Beet Salad. Nicely presented and full of flavor. Our Daughter and Son-in-law split a Caesar Salad which they liked. Forour Main course, my son ordered Gnocchi, my daughter had tortellini with pumpkin, my son-in-law had the Seafood Pasta Special,my wife had the Bolognese and I had the Elena Pizza. All of our meals were fantastic and very nice portions. The waitress we had(I think her name was Madeline) was awesome and very attentive. A special call out from me on the Martin’s I had - they usereal Martini Glasses instead of those martini glasses that look like champagne glasses. Plus the Martini’s were made toperfection. This place “in my opinion” is a great place for food and a dining experience. We decided to visit Convivioafter our day in Carmel. We’re glad that we did. The food was really good. My son had Gnocchi al Telefono which he reallyenjoyed. My wife had Bolognese and I had their Gabrielle but I asked for it to be made with Pesto instead of the red sauce. Bothof our dishes were fantastic and it was a nice sized serving for both dishes. I added a nice salad and the Focaccia bread wasreally fresh. Our server was friendly and when we are back in the area we are going back to try some other dishes. Read more

Enjoyed our meal here. The pasta is made fresh in house and tastes really good. Meatballs were a bit soft, but still good. The... bread they brought out before the meal was excellent as well. Read more

My boyfriend's parents love Italian cuisine, so every time we visit them we always find a new Italian restaurant to take them... to. Also, when we dined here, this was our 800th new restaurant we experienced since we started dating in 2012. And it wasindeed a fine choice to celebrate this milestone. The food was delicious. I had the squid ink pasta and it was perfectlycooked. The lobster sauce was grand; buttery and the melding of the seafood and sauce was divine. I didn't finish it as I wantedto prolong the experience and had it for lunch the next day. Still so luscious. We also ordered several entrees, a pizza as anappetizer, and some desserts. The service was great. Will definitely go back when we're in Indiana visiting family again. Read more
