Cafe Silvium

First timer at Cafe Silvium and loved the authenticity of the service and foods. Starting with, this was our first time but not by choice. We are last minute folks and it just won’t work with this place, you must plan well ahead and make reservations. Served by Chris, he was phenomenal from when we first arrived to when we left. He knew each item, what’s in it and even knew exactly the location of each menu item (list is comprehensive, lots of choices). His suggestions of drinks paired perfectly with the dishes he suggested as well. The menu makes you feel like at an authentic Italian restaurant, as most others are Italian American, this place is the real deal. The food was absolutely to die for. It was not over nor under cooked, the sauce really stood out and the dishes never had anything that was too overwhelming. It all fell into place together. And the prices were more reasonably priced than we expected. We met Vicenzo (one of the owners/brothers) and he was very caring ensuring our visit met our expectations. Going back next week (yes reservations are already made lol). This place by far, beats all Italian restaurants I’ve visited in the area, including the typically famous New Haven staples of Italian foods. You will NOT be disappointed!

Delicious Italian food, we loved every dish we ordered. Pasta was fresh & delicious. Phenomenal service from all their employees. Friendly, quick, attentive & helpful! Will definitely be back.

I came here early to avoid the long wait time and I now understand why this place is so busy. I had an exceptional dining experience here! They had a vast variety of food selections at very reasonable prices. It was hard to choose what to eat everything looked really good! I ordered the Fettuccine al Mascarpone with chicken cutlet and my boyfriend ordered the Gnocchi special with sausage. The food was absolutely amazing, every dish was full of flavor and truly exceeded my expectations. The wine was just as impressive. For dessert we ordered the Nutella cheesecake with Oreo cookie crust a homemade dessert, which was absolutely delicious and the perfect finish to the meal. Our survey Nikki made the experience even better. She was extremely attentive, accommodating, and provided outstanding service from start to finish. The atmosphere at Cafe Silvium was warm, welcoming, and overall amazing. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food, great service, and a wonderful dining experience. I will definitely come back again!

Excellent, authentic Italian food. I don't know how they do it with such an abundant menu and keep the quality of food so high. From the homemade fetucine and grappa to the perfectly cooked octopus and broccoli rabe, I cannot wait to dine here again! The owner/chef took time out to greet his patrons and ensure we were enjoying our meals.

It’s one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Prepare yourself for a hefty wine pour, the friendliest service, and the most amazing food. Even when you’re stuffed, you can’t say no to dessert. My boyfriend, THE tiramisu aficionado, claims they have the best he’s ever had. I’d like you to try to have a bad meal here! On top of it all, the pricing is beyond reasonable. Cannot recommend enough!!
