Our friends made a reservation for 6, a month in advance. At the last second our babysitter cancelled and so we couldn’t go and the other two couples went. This place turned them away (including our 8 months pregnant friend) because all six of us didn’t attend. The arrogance on display to act like that should give everyone some pause about going to a place like this. How would they treat anyone who might have an issue during their meal if they’re willing to turn a pregnant woman away from a meal for the mortal sin of her friends having a babysitter cancel last minute? If they’re that arrogant, you can be sure that serving any customer is not their highest priority. I’m sure there are other places to get pasta where the management don’t think they’re doing you a favor by letting you into the dining room.

Who do you have to know to get a table here? One time we did manage to sit outside. Food is great and well priced. No wonder it’s so busy

My family loves this place. Our (lifetime) favorite family-friendly Italian restaurant, no question. When you visit this place and notice that by 5:01pm (after opening at 5pm), every table is occupied, just know it is for a reason - many families have likely been coming to this restaurant for decades. Welcoming atmosphere, with the warmth of eating in someone’s kitchen. The staff is kind and attentive. The food is excellent - you will enjoy some of the best pasta you can find outside of Italy. Lucky to have this wonderful restaurant in the area. It is special.

There haven't been many places that I've come across that have truly impressed me in the way that Cafe Silvium did tonight. But this place will forever be at the top of my list of best places ever in every aspect of one of the truly greatest restaurants I've ever been to. At the advise of someone that I didn't know very well but grew up in NY at one of my best ever experiences and restaurants that I've been going to for over 40 years and recently revisited after a 15 year gap I was talking about how I was surprised and impressed that it still was amazing since I lost touch with due to life but gave it a shot and was amazed even though it was sold that new owners that it was still just as wonderful as it ever was. But the person that I had recently met that was from the same area and knew of the restaurant I was talking about said that I should try Cafe Silvium and that it was comparable if not better to my long-time restaurant the Pine restaurant in the Bronx. So I was very curious if a restaurant in Stamford would even compare to this legendary restaurant. But after trying a few times and reservations were a little bit hard to get I kind of let it slip my mind until my best friend took me there last night for my birthday. It was a Monday night and the place was packed which seemed kind of rare these days period and after going through the menu and seeing so many amazing choices and knowing that the prices were extremely reasonable I figured it couldn't be real that a restaurant of such quality and giving fair prices and great service could exist anymore. But this place was truly amazing. You can tell that the chef and whoever runs this restaurant really cares and not only wants to make money but loves what he does and offers an experience that goes above and Beyond. Every bite was unbelievably delectable and the wait staff was perfect the experience was old school yet the quality and that they cared and made sure that we were satisfied and even as far as giving us a few things that were comped which is something that does not happen anymore these days but is greatly appreciated and truly that they could charge double for everything that they had on the menu and it would not have changed my review of the restaurant but just shows that there is heart left in doing the right thing and being the best you can and not banging people over the head especially in an area that does not mind paying. But they made sure that we felt special as they did to everyone that came to this restaurant. I can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu and also to tell everyone I could how wonderful this place is. And hopefully I don't like the cat out of the bag and cut my chances of getting a reservation ever again. Truly a Hidden Gem and wonderful experience. I cannot say enough about this place
