Message from Da Silvano

Da Silvano

Cucina Toscana. The first Tuscan restaurant in NYC, since May 1, 1975

  • Parties up to 60 People
  • Great for Lunch and Groups
  • Notable Wine List

On May 1, 1975, Silvano Marchetto opened its doors to what was to become one of the most successful restaurants in NY history. Silvano reinvented Italian restaurants by introducing New Yorkers to Cucina Toscana(true Tuscan food) while injecting a rock 'n' roll energy filled with everything that is Downtown cool.

The amazing food, the fashionably fabulous customers & the entertaining environment make Da Silvano a favorite. Whether discussing deals over lunch, first dates coming to fall in love over dinner or friends enjoying the sidewalk people-watching on a warm evening, few leave without lasting memories.

Da Silvano serves lunch & dinner seven days a week, continually offering new & innovative menu specials. During Spring, Summer & Fall, the large sidewalk café is a perfect spot to wine & dine with friends & family.

Editorial Review for Da Silvano – by Citysearch Staff

The Scene
There's always a line out front at Da Silvano's--put it down to the owner, the celebrities and the sidewalk tables. Though service is occasionally spotty--especially in the summer when the sidewalk tables are overflowing--Silvano Marchetto generally keeps an eagle eye on his Tuscan establishment.

The Food

Appetizers like broccoli rabe with fennel sausage, mussels in garlic, oil and white wine or fresh, moist fried sardines are all outstanding, as is the long list of daily specials. Equally excellent main courses include a flavorsome pepper-crusted rare tuna and a boiled beef with cabbage that's the soul of comfort food. The roasted chicken breast is authentically robust. A pasta special with avocado and sea urchin is a rare disappointment--the flavors stubbornly refuse to complement each other--but many other reliable housemade pastas are available.

After all these years Da Silvano is still a great place to people watch in the neighborhood. I went on a recent Wednesday night and both this restaurant and Bar Bitti next door still had a decent crowd outside. The hosts make you feel very welcome too and the waiters don't rush you.

Da Silvano has always had great food but I just wanted to say that on a nice day, it is a great spot in the Village to sit outside, enjoy a glass of wine and watch the people go by. Oh yeah, get some lunch too beacuse the food is delicious.

Pros: Location, People Watching, Wine, Lunch

Art- and media-world hangout where the celeb sightings are as enticing as the Italian fare.  See the full editorial review.
