  Okay. After my first visit to Silvio’s I can definitively say it is the BEST Italian restaurant in Louisville and would be tops of many other markets in the country or world. I have travelled much and was raised in New England. Italian is perhaps my favorite food of all and Silvio’s delivers the esthetics and flavors required in a Top Shelf restaurant. The owner/chef is an extremely personable gentleman who had my wife, daughter and my full attention when he visited our table. We felt like we were greatly welcomed and trusted his suggestions completely which ALL turned out to be perfect. Our waiter and other servers were very attentive, bringing us bread, water and whatever else we needed without prompting. The restaurant is tastefully decorated including white table cloths with famous classic crooners are heard lightly in the background. The menu highlights the classic fare found at all italian restaurants, plus some I haven’t seen before. I went with the 2 specials of the night; ravioli with Italian sausage and the kale and beet salad. The presentations were food magazine worthy and the flavors bursted on my taste buds. My wife ordered Silvio’s chicken with potatoes and broccoli which she loved and I agreed after a taste. She liked my dish also which I shared. Our daughter ordered her favorite dish (fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp) and found it to be the BEST she ever had. She can’t wait to come back. The food is superb and Silvio is a pleasure to visit with. He makes you feel like you have been best friends forever. Their bread is to die for and their desserts are sublime. We had lemon and peanut butter Cannoli’s and the sweet italian cream cake. Silvio’s isn’t just the #1 Italian restaurant in Louisville. It is running with the Top Guns of ANY venue. It is a must try for anyone who seeks finer dining. The prices are fair for the quality served and the service rivals the best I received anywhere. Silvio’s provides an Experience that is lacking at most restaurants. We look forward to our next visit and I am completely confident in taking family and friends there for an exquisite dinner. Silvio’s is a true 5 star restaurant in every way. UPDATE: My wife wanted to celebrate our 35th anniversary with Italian food so we went to where the BEST is. We arrived at 5 and were seated at our favorite table and had a great meal of veal parmesan. The bread is SO good too. We don’t always eat dessert when we go out, but Silvio’s has incredible dessert. I can’t bring myself to try another Italian restaurant since dining at Silvio’s. I’d hate to be disappointed with lesser quality. The entire staff is always impeccable. Last night we had Cat serving our table and she visited oyr table just the right amount of times, filling water glass withoyt request and had great suggestiobs when we asked. She was perfect. One of my MOST favorite things about Louisville is Silvio’s.

  I am torn reviewing Silvios because the atmosphere and staff are delightful and make it welcoming and as good as it gets. Every restaurant should emulate the above. With the above so perfected you expect the food to follow suit, but it doesn’t. It’s either bland, too much garlic, or in the case of my mussels, cold. However because price points are low and everything other than the food is flawless, visit here but order an extra drink instead of an appetizer.

  My husband and I had the pleasure of stumbling upon Silvio’s tonight. When we walked in there was no hostess, but we were promptly greeted by a very friendly server. We asked to have dinner at the bar and she directed us there with a smile. Our bartender, Lisa, had a large regular following (easy to tell why) but made us feel like the most important guests there. Chef Milillo quickly came out to greet us and they seemed happy to entertain first time diners. We ordered the antipasto appetizer and it was incredible. This was followed by two awesome salads and finished with an entree I’m not quite sophisticated enough to spell or pronounce. Everything was delicious. My husband is a chef and I was a bartender for twelve years, it takes a lot to impress us. The food, staff, and smiles at Silvio’s blew us away. We can’t wait to go back and try the Italian Cream Cake everyone was raving about. Don’t miss this small gem. Also, you can’t beat the price. This was one of my best dining experiences in a very long time.
