Service: great
Food: ok. Mussels has seafood taste and broth was watery. 🙁 I was hoping the garlic wine sauce would kill that taste.
The sausage pasta sauce was better but still overall experience was just okay.
Da Silvano is very good. I went there recently with some regulars so got the regulars treatment which is nice. The owner of Da Silvano, presumably named Da, is charming in his own way. One of those things you either enjoy or don't, but not good for all seasons. I happen to enjoy it.
The food is good. I don't think it is spectacular, but definitely above average.
There is a lot of hate for the silvano here on yelp. I am guessing it is mostly from people who don't enjoy the rough around the edges fun that others find charming about this place.
A West Village staple. Probably top 5 best Italian restaurants I have been to. I had a variety of things, as I went for lunch and dinner 🙂
Lunch I had a italian meats and cheese platter along with the truffle pizza. The truffle pizza was probably the best pizza i have ever had, full slices of mozzarella and shaves truffle, it was amazing.
for dinner we started with red wine (of course), calamari, broclinni and sausage, then homemade ricotta and spinach ravioli in a butter sage sauce.
overall it was such an amazing dinner, atmosphere and a great time on my visit to NY, I will be back again!
Ugh… Crowded, loud, overpriced. Place next door doesn't take credit cards so we went here. Go elsewhere.
Now to add some detail. The lasagna portion was tiny. Another person got a pesto pasta dish that was simply some pesto mixed in with some spaghetti. Could make it at home for a couple of bucks.
Two words describe this restaurant perfectly: Amazing Food!
I came to Da Silvano with friends on a Saturday night and thankfully I had made reservations because this place was popping! We were instantly seated upon arrival and I even got a compliment on my shirt from the owner.
Everything we ordered was so good. Seriously the food here came pretty close to the deliciously divine food I had in Italy. I will definitely be back to Da Silvano again and again. You should come and check it out as well.
Entrees
*Rigatoni Focaccia (rigatoni, double smoked bacon, sage, rosemary, garlic, white wine, cream and tomato) – 5 stars! Get this!!
*Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese (homemade flat noodles with tuscan meat sauce) – 4.5 stars! My two friends who got this loved it.
*Ravioli Bella Firenze (spinach & ricotta filled ravioli sautéed in browned butter & sage) – 4 stars! Stuffed full of goodness and you actually get a good number of ravioli.
*Lobster Gnocchi – 5 stars! This was a special we were told and it was utterly amazing. I mean the gnocchi was like tiny pillows from heaven that were sent down to delight our taste buds. Best gnocchi I've ever had.
Dessert
*Bongo Bongo (beignets filled with vanilla ice cream, chocolate fudge) – 3 stars. Just didn't match up to the amazing entrees.
We really enjoyed our dining experience in Greenwich Village at Da Salvano's. The wait staff was polite and quick with our service. I have read mixed reviews but I was very pleased with our dinner choice.
We had the lobster gnocchi and Bolognese linguine and we both loved our meals. We were able to get seating outside which was a plus because the weather was amazing.
We heard that you might see a movie or television star while dining and we did, Famke Janssen from X Men was sitting a couple of tables up from us.
I highly recommend this restaurant if you choose to dine in Greenwich Village
The restaurant next door was packed and with our dog we ended up at this one instead. It was a perfect spot to sit and have a couple of glasses of wine and a light snack and enjoy the sun. The service was prompt, a wine list that covered our favourites (good rose and a good Sav blanc). We just had the sardines to share between us and the 4 sardines were nice and tasty.
We would def go back to try more next time we are in the area.
Although it's a brisk night in NY, we are enjoying a nice bottle of red wine and desserts outside. I am under a heat lamp nice and toasty. The wine helps too!
The service here is excellent. Very friendly staff. We decided to order a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon a slice of tiramisu, and a Panna cotta. I never had Panna cotta before and we loved it. It's a heavy cream custard and topped with a drizzle of chocolate fudge. It is such a light and creamy dessert with hints of vanilla and chocolate.
As we walked through New York City we just happened to stumble on to this place and I'm so glad that we did. We had already eaten dinner and only came for dessert. As I sit here I can smell all the dishes the people around us ordered. We are going to have to come back here for dinner.
