Worth the hype. The service was quick, they accommodated us without a reservation thankfully but I’d suggest making one as it’s a very small restaurant. It was my first time trying rabbit and they made my experience so enjoyable. The flavors were perfect for the type of meat, it wasn’t overwhelming nor underdone, just perfect. We also had the duck ravioli which was also great but the portion could have been a little bigger. Wine selection was amazing, overall would recommend if need to Barclays.
Small portion, foods taste okay. When we sit down, there was a cockroach on the wall and then flew to the table. But the manager took care of it. Anyway, we don't regret to go there.
Convivium Osteria is definitely great. You are transported to an italian antique house upon entering the restaurant. The service was a little confusing at times, but very professional and courteous. The highilights of my meal were definitely the sweet ravioli with peking duck ragu and the rabbit with polenta. Both dishes are so unique and well done. Two of my favorite italian dishes in NYC so far. Would definitely recommend.
We were a party of 7 and were accommodated downstairs in a cellar like room. Super cool! Intimate setting. All of the food was really good. Loved the palenta and shrimp dish. They only carry wine, no full bar. We found ourselves waiting around for the bill. But overall a great experience.
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!
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.
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 bass was well cooked, however, lacked sufficient seasoning. The rabbit was somewhat dry and tough. Lasagna was nothing to write home about. Overall, had higher expectations, though the atmosphere was very cozy and romantic.
This was a great meal. We we're lucky to be seated in the lower level especially since the heat wave was in full force. The menu is very unique. It is not often that you find rabbit on the menu. And it’s less frequent even when you do find it that the meat is tender and delicious. There were so many fun things to try for example, for appetizers we had the octopus, the artichoke, burrata, and the salad. I probably could’ve stop there. But we went onto a main entrée with a number of different options all very delicious. The steak was made exactly to her liking medium rare on the rear side. And it was carved tableside perfectly. We also had the Seabass. I was very happy that we were able to order a deboned. I never enjoy taking bones out of my mouth while I’m eating.
For dessert we ordered the tiramisu, the flourless cake, and custard which of the three was my least favorite. The tiramisu was very good and highly recommended. What I liked about it is that it wasn't overly sweet. Flourless cake was pretty good though I’m not a big fan of too much chocolate that late at night. It was however about the only gluten-free option on the menu.
If I had one disappointment about eating here is that there was no gluten free pasta on the menu. I would’ve thought by now that most restaurants would have a evolved their offerings to include gluten-free pasta. But all in all the dining experience was really good. I would’ve given them foreign a half stars but half stars are not an option on this app. I really enjoyed it and I hope to return in the near future.
Oh and I really love the waiters hair design. He had this really cool style. I love when people take time for their appearance and also to say something really cool about their personality. It was a great experience overall.
