Convito is a lovely spot, especially during the summer when you can sit outside. Food is consistently good - always fresh, seasoned perfectly, and presented elegantly. Love their pasta dishes and soups - very flavorful. Always enjoy Convito - great place to meet friends and celebrate whatever!

Convito always has good food and excellent servers. We sat outside with most who at last night in perfect weather. Noice level not issue even with umbrellas reflecting sound. Service is tops. Prices have increased so entre above $30 for most fish and meat. Worth it for quality. Definitely will return again as always to have for nice dinner.
