Dining at Sylvia’s is like having dinner in your grandmother’s dining room. We were first agreed with large platters of homemade breads and strudel, which were absolutely delicious and could’ve been a meal in themselves. Although I am not a wine drinker, my friends who had the Romanian wine said it was absolutely delicious as well as the Romanian beer. There is a huge variety of food, including Italian, Romanian, German, etc. the servings are huge and delicious! Our group gets together once a month to go out to eat at different restaurants, and we unanimously decided that we would go back to Sylvia’s next month! It was

Sylvia’s homemade cooking is fabulous. The bread on the table prior to sitting down is fresh and delicious. Meals are prepared to order and are spectacular. Dessert is made on the premises. You have to try the brownies with ricotta served right our if the oven.

My father and I occasionally go out for a nice lunch together. He mentioned going to Enfield for the large selection of restaurants. So I googled restaurants in Enfield and Silvia’s was suggested. We arrived being their first customer walking in at noontime on a Wednesday. Dad likes his early lunches. Atmosphere was an old Portuguese man’s dream.Taste and portion size was too. Honestly, we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Being half Polish and half Portuguese myself, I was surprised to see all different types of European dishes offered. My Dad and I especially will be back to try the mariscada! We can’t wait!

A hidden gem. Try the cabbage rolls, German style, with sauerkraut. And the German goulash, great. HUGE portions with delicious warm fresh bread and a massive slab of butter.

Warm Hospitality, Comfy Surroundings, High Quality Food – Don’t Miss Out on This Thompsonville Destination. We tried Silvia’s for the first time yesterday and we all agreed the experience was fantastic and this would be a repeat destination. Once you step inside Silvia’s, you feel as if you are in a small café in Europe –unpretentious, but homey and comfortable, just like the owner. Silvia, a quietly confident lady from Romania with an impeccable culinary background, makes you feel like an honored guest when she asks, “What can I cook for you today?” rather than “What would you like to order?” And the food – simple fare, but oh so good. For us - tender pierogi’s cooked just right with a sprinkling of sauteed onions and a side of sour cream, a large plate filled tossed salad topped with excellent homemade dressing along with a plate of freshly-made bread (a specialty) and a slab of butter, a hearty kielbasa sandwich with sauerkraut and secret sauce, a generous sized hamburger, sandwiches served with large slices of fried potatoes, and at the end, three bite-sized pieces of homemade scrumptious chocolate cake. Thanks so much to Silvia’s staff. You made our day!

Silvia's is a hidden gem and I am so glad that we found it! We walked in on a Saturday night around 7pm and were a little concerned that there were no customers in the restaurant. We were seated and given the specials and recommendations. Those concerns started to disappear when the home made bread came out, still warm and tasted so go. We chose the Polish Holiday Dinner and the Goulash that had lamb, chicken and beef. The food was exceptional to say the least. The different spices in the Goulash were perfect and all three meats were so tender and had soaked up all of those flavors from the sauce. It was definitely an old school recipe that rivals grandma's cooking. The Polish Holiday Dinner was also extremely flavorful, from the stuffed cabbage to the kielbasa and the pierogies. The portions were double of any restaurant that I have been to so to go containers were a must. We had a piece of German Chocolate cake which was made with what appeared to be a layer or ricotta cheese. It was like biting into a piece of heaven, so light and creamy. I was truly surprised when the bill came and it was much lower that I expected for all that food. I can't wait to go back again and try something new. Thank you Silvia's!

The owner Silvia and her staff are warm and inviting, along with the atmosphere, and the food was how real food should taste, made from scratch and delicious. The goulash special was absolutely delicious as was the stuffed cabbage and kielbasa appetizer, and salad. Old world hospitality is what you'll get at Silvia's, and take an order of pierogies home for a midnight snack!
