Cafe Silvium

A lovely night out at an italian restaurant with a wide array of dazzling dishes with fresh pasta and food. I enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying a little bit of a quieter side of Stamford, removed from the city center. There is a little parking lot behind the restaurant with some spots beside it but they fill up quickly. For those concerned about not getting a space - no worries, there is a lot nearby for a shopping center. There was a nice selection of bread and beans available before our meal along with olive oil to dip it in. Seemed like an appetizer unto itself and was quite satisfying. Had a selection of appetizers that included meatballs and calamari. The meatballs were incredibly rich and tender. The calamari was perfectly fried with the perfect blend of spice for the marinara. My main was scallops in black squid ink linguine with a basil marinara sauce. It was perfectly cooked and delightful. The tartufo at the end was decadent but not too big that it felt overly filling. Overall a brilliant experience and I'll be back again!

We went for the first time on a Friday at 5. There were a good amount of people but the food was great! Service was attentive initially, but I think it got a little busy for our waiter because we had to get his attention a couple times when we were waiting. We didn’t mind and he was wonderful other than that! We loved it and look forward to going back again!

Awesome! Great food & wonderful service. Just one of those perfect little restaurants where you would change nothing. Celebrated our wedding anniversary here over lunch today & didn’t want to leave. The husband loved his rich- luscious lasagna& I was amazed by my seafood over pasta- made spicy - just the way I like it. Our waiter was attentive - helpful - knowledgeable & just a lot of fun. Definitely recommend geting the espresso - which is roasted around the corner & the lemon pie. This was our first time here & we are already planning our next visit!

Super place. You have to go early or you will wait. Sunny room in the front. Great Italian menu, something for everyone. Very reasonable prices. Great service, food is expedited to tables quickly and arrives HOT! Yummy desserts too. This place is popular and very busy. I highly recommend this local favorite.

The wait is worth it. This place is bare bones, simply amazing Italian-American food. There's almost always a wait (no reservations for couples or small groups most days), but you can sit with a glass of wine or beer while you wait. Highly recommend checking out the menu while you wait, because there are too many good options. Service was excellent and the menu is full of excellent dishes. You can't go wrong but our lobster ravioli (ravioli di aragosta) and the lasagne were fantastic.
