Convivio opens this week.
The atmosphere at this Durham located establishment is festive. The evening we visited, tables were singing and clapping. There is a communal dining vibe, this is the perfect place to party with a big group. One long room with concrete floors makes for a loud evening, be prepared. There is a bar area, small patio and balcony.
The kitchen was bustling as they served up the tasting menu.
It started with a flavorful bang!
Albondigas: the Meat/Pork meatballs and spicy tomato concasse is the best item on the menu. We’d swim in this sauce if we could.
The next item was the Pizzetas de Queso de Cabra y Vegetales. A long name basically meaning a flat bread pizza with fresh vegetables. Yes! The veggies on this item were very fresh!
Other items included:
Fideua: Seafood noodle paella. This came in a small bowl; more like a tiny shrimp spaghetti. 
Croquetas de Chorizo: Chorizo Revilla, Bechamel Sauce. Special note about the Bechamel sauce. This should be offered with as many dishes as possible. It’s super great! 
Pinchose de Ensaladilla Rusa: Spanish Baby Potato salad. This was light and refreshing. We’ve never had potato salad on bread, but it worked.
Pinchos de Chorizo: Revilla Chorizo
