Yelp.com Review - by Eszter H.

4.0 of 5 stars. A nice place for a midweek lunch or an evening outing. I've gone here with colleagues during the week or with friends for dinner. The atmosphere is nice, the food is consistently good. It's nothing...

Yelp.com Review - by Sandy R.

4.0 of 5 stars. I've liked Convito for a long time. There used to be one on Chestnut in the city, but eventually the whole block was torn down. A friend and I decided to take a drive up Sheridan Road to Plaza del...

2.0 of 5 stars. What a surprise - it seems as if I can't avoid this place even if I wanted to. My friends and I decided to have lunch here once again since it was a beautiful day outside. We were seated by the...

Yelp.com Review - by Stacy T.

5.0 of 5 stars. Perhaps the best chicken apple sausage hash I've had! The service, ambiance, and food was all excellent. You wouldn't think much of this strip mall eatery, but you'd be remiss to pass it up. The...

Yelp.com Review - by Nancy S.

2.0 of 5 stars. Everyone in our party ordered seafood - and while everything was well prepared, the portions were ridiculously small - especially for the price. Presentation is one thing - but unless you're Charlie...

4.0 of 5 stars. I highly recommend Convito. The restaurant has great food and the specialty food section has an excellent selection. I really love the salad wrapped in slices of cucumber - lovely to eat and to look...

Yelp.com Review - by John S.

4.0 of 5 stars. Convito is a nice place to go for specific hard-to-find Italian grocery and deli items. I've never eaten in the cafe, so can't comment on that, but the shop has a nice assortment of stuff, the wine...

Yelp.com Review - by George D.

4.0 of 5 stars. If you can fight your way into the Plaza Del Lago parking lot without blowing an axle in the construction on Sheridan road, you can have a really pleasant lunch at Convito. I tried a pretty solid...

Italian market and restaurant by Elizabeth R. at InsiderPages

Convito is a really cute Italian market with a small, full-service restaurant area. All the food I've had here has been excellent, and the service is always friendly. In the market area they have a lot of...

Yelp.com Review - by Brent J.

4.0 of 5 stars. No single element of Convito stands out, but the restaurant still strikes a lovely note by doing a lot of things well. The restaurant offers a warm and relaxed atmosphere that is a touch more elegant...

Yelp.com Review - by Peter M.

4.0 of 5 stars. I only experienced the small grocery/wine shop part, not the restaurant. They had free tasting of two really good and very affordable (around 10 dollar) wines, even though their small selection...

Yelp.com Review - by Tina T.

3.0 of 5 stars. Convito Italiano is a combination gourmet market and cafe; being that it is in Wilmette, it is fairly upscale. We did a Lake shore drive ride on the motorcycle this weekend and ended up here for a...

4.0 of 5 stars. Convito is located in Plaza Del Lago, an elegant Spanish-inspired plaza (also home to Crate & Barrel, Burhops, Long Grove Confectionary) , when the sun's up and there's a cool lake breeze, it feels...

Great for dining in or for taking to Ravinia

Convito is very good. The food is creative and delicious (check out their menu on the web). Since Convito is a restaurant/ specialty food store, they have wonderful Ravinia packages for a picnic.

Yelp.com Review - by Lauren D.

3.0 of 5 stars. Average Italian bistro. The new location makes it a little more upscale. I've had pretty snooty service. Good place to pick up some Italian vino.

Yelp.com Review - by Keiko S.

3.0 of 5 stars. The place is called "Convito Cafe and Market" so naturally it's split into two sections - a grocery store and an Italian restaurant. Both have this upscale, European ambience. I've never eaten at the...

Yelp.com Review - by Melissa M.

3.0 of 5 stars. Perhaps its first fair for me to say that Convito has a very nice market...and a so-so restaurant. The menu is not terribly diverse and whenever I branch out of the pasta section I have an unpleasant...
