After eating mediocre Italian food for 3 days, and yes you can definitely have mediocre to poor Italian food even in Rome, I had to find something to counter balance the parade of over salted but bland tourist traps I was unfortunately subjected to. After trying to get a table the other Michelin rated restaurants who were booked already I was able to be seated here without munch trouble. Both my wife and I opted for the tasting menu 125/each but just one wine pairing to share 95. We had an early flight the next day and would have been under the table if we did the full pairing each. Half is definitely the way to go. Our first course was a white shrimp fried with a tomatoe sorbet to cleanse the pallet. Very tastey with the right amount of oceanic aromas but not over powering. One misstep in my opinion was that there were a few fried potato strips which were soggy not crisp. The next few courses were spot on. The prawn two ways were fantastic with the fried head an equal match to the cooked prawn in coconut broth. The broth almost reminded me of Thai food. Very well executed. The pasta dish was also great with bits of fish and olives. I'm not normally an olive fan but this dish balances the saltiness of the olive very well with the other ingredients. The next course was a fish purée sandwich with some type of cracker and a dark sauce that looked like chocolate but was savory. Good and interesting but I think I would have preferred the fish itself. But this I'll admit is probably a personal preference thing. Finally there was a mini course of various pork preparations before the main pork shoulder. The pork shoulder was cooked well and seasoned to perfection. It was served with figs and mustard. A bit dull after the other creative dishes but still excellent. This brings me then the only true misstep of the evening. The mini course with several pork preparations and in particular the pork belly. Don't get me wrong the belly was great. However the choice of putting a small piece of raw red onion on top was too much. When I had my piece it was just too overpowering and overwhelmed the pork belly. This contrasted with the liver which had a piece of pickled onion on top only makes this error more self evident. Dessert was good with three small portions and came with a refreshing Mellon cream thing that was fantastically refreshing after the pork belly. There were several other mini bites through out the meal but they were not very memorable. Wine parings were good but nothing spectacular. They do have an extensive wine list though.The staff were very attentive and our server spoke English very well. The kitchen also seemed very accommodating as a couple seated next to us had all kind of food allergies which the kitchen worked around.So what's the final verdict? To compare this place to a tourist trap would be unfair, so I have to compare it to its peers. Having dined at other Michelin 3 star establishments you can see moments of pure brilliance and skill at il convivio, but there are also some glaring misteps. For these missteps I have to get the place a 4/5 overall rating. You will have a fantastic meal for sure but you may feel you paid just a little too much maybe by about 20 euros/person.
