Convivio

A new Tudor City Southern Italian from restaurateur Chris Cannon and chef Michael White, Convivio is a snazzy redo of L’Impero’s erstwhile space, starting with a breezy, La Dolce Vita-esque redesign of its formerly formal dining room; the menu’s been similarly enlivened – and the overall price point lowered – with more antipasti and a variety of snacklike sfizi that can be mixed and matched into a meal, or incorporated into a four-course, $59 prix fixe extravaganza; icing the cake, its atmospheric patio is one of the city’s best-kept alfresco secrets.
