Last Wednesday, a lovely dinner with
Nick (thank you!) at Convivio. Photos below. We went with the four course prix fixe which is a fantastic deal for both the quality and amount of food delivered. To sum: I enjoyed the house-made pastas a great deal more than the mains which while still very tasty, was over fussy and complicated with too many "sauces" and elements. Appetizers were memorable...chicken liver and slow poached veal tongue YES :) Next time, we'll do the prix fixe, but replace the secondi with another pasta. That will make for a killer meal. Overall, a splendid dinner - the affogato we had for dessert comes in second only to Otto's (which is AMAZING).
