“Park Slope is full of great eats, but this restaurant stands out as a total package, a place where a diner feels more like a guest.”

Great ambiance, not-so-great service. Stupendous in terms of a near-authentic European feel. Convivium's menu is interesting, but our dish was a bit on the cold side and the service left a lot to be desired.
Name is misleading. The name is misleading. So is the website for this restaurant. It implies some sort of connection with SLOW FOOD Italia which is a great movement and great organization that we've been part of since its beginnings in the 1980s. SLOWFOOD Italia is NOT about pretense, rude service and high prices referred to here among the reviews.…
Sardinia in Brooklyn. We sat in the garden room and it was so romantic. The food was amazing! I truly felt like I was eating in Sardinia. The waitstaff was so friendly and helpful. Loved it! Though I got a bit chewed up by some hungry mosquitoes, it was perfect.…
Truly Convivial experience all around.
After being seated in the downstairs room, we forgot we were in Brooklyn. The warm decor & lighting sends you to straight to a European town. The menu is an innovative mix of Portugal & Italy &
local organic "Fresh" . Flavors "pop" in your mouth. We tried almost every appetizer, all of which were perfectly prepared & presented. Left barely enough room for the main courses, but glad we did. Then came the desserts! Rich and heavenly and freshly baked each day by the owner/dessert chef.
All & all a delightful experience. btw, we didn't find the wait staff cold & snobbish at all. They're just more formal & European in personality than the warm & smiley young American waiters some people may have become used to.
Definitely will recommend this place to friends…
