Convivio Italian Artisan Cuisine

This was a special date night sponsored by a gift card from my boyfriend's mom. Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in the Indianapolis area! Food was excellent, but a few little details that made it less-than: - Seating was TIGHT which made us feel hurried in and out. For this price point, we wanted to take our time. - Atmosphere felt one step down from a nice-nice restaurant like it was priced. Small detail but way bright lighting for an Italian place on a Friday night! - No bread for the table - weird! Things that were fantastic: - Wine menu - Our server - seriously the service was fantastic and we would go back for him! - The pasta dishes Definitely would recommend for a good Italian meal, but the atmosphere didn't match the price point. Highly recommend the Bruschetta and Nero Pasta!

We were in town for a wedding, and got a reservation for dinner. The restaurant is very charming and inviting. Everyone was very friendly. I ordered a glass of rosé, my husband had peroni. We ordered our meals and were brought a nice bread and dipping oil. We waited quite a bit, and our waitress Janessa stopped by to say our order should be out shortly. We waited for quite awhile, then the chef came out with our dishes and apologized, he said there was a ticket issue, and that is not their normal ticket times. He offered us dessert. Our food was amazing! And the dessert was delicious. If we are ever back in Indiana, we would definitely stop again. Accidents happen, I really appreciate the chef coming out and acknowledging the issue. 👍👍 Great food and staff!

We loved the restaurant. Our server was very good and helped us with ordering vegetarian dishes. The bread and oil is delicious. The oil has sun-dried tomatoes and herbs in it. We got the Gigli Di Zucca Pasta, without the Prosciutto and the Calabrese Pizza. Both were very good. We definitely want to come back and try some of the other Pastas.

As a long-time patron, I have always held Convivio in high regard for its culinary excellence and inviting atmosphere. However, my latest visit was truly memorable, thanks to the outstanding service provided by Edgar. Edgar's professionalism and attention to detail significantly enhanced our evening. From the moment we entered, his welcoming demeanor set the tone for the entire dining experience. His comprehensive knowledge of the menu and thoughtful recommendations showcased a commitment to ensuring our satisfaction. Edgar's attentive service, impeccable timing, and genuine enthusiasm were truly commendable. It is evident that he takes great pride in his role, and his efforts did not go unnoticed. I left Convivio with a renewed appreciation for the caliber of service your establishment consistently provides. I look forward to future visits, hopeful that Edgar will once again be our server. Please extend my gratitude to him and the entire Convivio team for maintaining a standard of excellence that continues to make your restaurant a standout destination. P.S. If you don't order the chocolate cake, you're doing yourself a disservice. 14/10.

My wife and I visited this restaurant while visiting the city for the first time over the 2023 Labor Day weekend for a wedding. We found the online Google listing, menu, and website; all appealing. We decided to reserve a table and were happy to get one. Upon our arrival, we were promptly greeted by the friendly hostesses. Our server was Janessa. She was friendly and gave us a warm welcome with a great smile, and asked if we'd ever been to the restaurant before. She explained the menu, took our drink orders, and brought us ice cold water. I had a Peroni draft, and my wife had a nice rosé wine. Warm bread and seasoned dipping oil came shortly after. The restaurant appeared very busy, and my wife and I commented on how lucky we were to get a table. Janessa came back and took our orders. We waited for a very long time, and Janessa came back to the table to apologize for the slow delivery of our orders. Soon afterward, the Executive Chef came out personally with our hot dishes and explained there had been a mix-up in the kitchen. He apologized profusely for the delay and offered a free dessert if we wanted it. My wife ordered the Bolognese, and I ordered the Rustica special. Both dishes were amazing! The atmosphere was so relaxing that, while we noticed the delay, we enjoyed the time to chat. We both mentioned that this restaurant would be a beautiful addition to our hometown of Akron, Ohio, and the Greater Akron/Cleveland markets. I'm a retired Marine, and my wife was able to visit me while I was stationed in Aviano during the mid-90s. The food and attention to detail to its preparation took me back to the Aviano Inn and other area village ristorantes! Ah, yes! I almost forgot our dessert! Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of our Torta di Mele! It's a homemade warn apple butter cake with vanilla gelato and butterscotch sauce. Maybe my wife posted a picture in her review! Bravo! Ciao!

Delicious food! Id almost given up on bistro dining. I gave only 1 star since they tried to seat us by the bathroom when I made the reservation and told them it was my birthday. I guess since we're a black couple, in 2023 we still get sat in the back. After being moved to the patio at my request, the server was nice and she explained the concept, rotational menu and specials. We had a great time.
