This restaurant was a great find. Food was excellent. We had a mixture of steaks, fish and pasta dishes with a lovely side selection of vegetables. All cooked to perfection. Dessert's were good to. All reasonable priced. Would recommend Silvano's.

From the moment you enter the door you think this might just be ok. The staff were superb. Attentive without being over the top. An excellent menu choice and really lovely food. Glad we found you and well be back

Siempre es un placer comer en Silvanos, sabes que la comida será exactamente como debería ser porque este es un chef que tiene su corazón en cada plato que cocina sin comprometer la deliciosa comida, un hermoso restaurante y un maravilloso servicio en el centro de York. pero verdadero italiano y gran valor.

Saturday night. January. Our favourite Italian was closed so venturer elsewhere. Found Silvano’s. Reviews looked good. Looked ok from outside. Menu and prices looked ok. Gave it a try. Early table 6.30. Almost empty. No atmosphere. Disappointed so far! Service spot on. Almost authentic Italian. shame about the music though. Not Italian. Still disappointed! Menu excellent, wide choice. Meatballs & spare ribs looked good. Quality ok just ok but nothing spectacular just average. Still disappointed. Could have cooked this at home. Sauces lacking any real flavour. Veg ok but just ok. Why just ok? We’ve paid for better than just ok. I can do better than ok at home !! Fillet steaks cooked nicely but tasteless meat. Poor quality. Now very disappointed! Kitchen smells spreading into restaurant now. Chip fat ! Smelly. Not happy ! It’s cold because kitchen door open. Lost interest at this stage and asked for the bill. Staff still attentive and accommodating but we don’t complain because we’re British ! Bill - best part of £100 Enjoyable night out ? we made the most of it but won’t be going again. Sorry. Could have done better at home for a fraction of the price.

I love my food, I am known for a good appetite, but this lovely place stopped me in my tracks with 2 courses! We called for lunch, my wife and I, we sought out somewhere different following a very disappointing meal in another Mediterranean restaurant. We found Silvano's and called in. We were the first customers that day, a bit of a worry! We were greeted and seated and given menus, lovely chap looked after us service was spot on. The meal, well I am usually grumbling to myself about portion size. Here the portions are very very large, I decided to have the meatballs with tomato sauce to start. 3 possibly 4 would be a good portion, I got 7, beautiful meaty and full of flavour with a really good sauce. For main course I went for the Seafood Risotto with a side order of sauté potatoes, my wife went for chicken topped with ham and cheese with boiled potatoes and vegetables, she struggled all the way and just could not finish it, as it measured about 8 inches by 6 I was amazed at the amount she ate! My risotto was just too much, well fished,band a good risotto to boot. But again just too much, I ate all the seafood and only left rice. We left, having paid a very reasonable bill, stuffed to the top. Very good food and very good value, reduce the portion size and I would give 5 stars. This restaurant should be full every day, give it a go!

Went for a dinner on the 1st of january with my wife. We asked for starters, crespoline and special mussels which were actually very nice. Then my wife asked for a diavola calzone (it was just fine) i asked for a seafood pizza, that came full of oil and little amount of seafood, basically it was not tasty at all and too greasy to eat, i’ve had a couple of bites and couldn’t keep eating. When i’ve asked about the oil on the pizza, he told me that the same mix for the starters is used for the pizza (so I could also understand the taste of the vinegar, not nice on a pizza). Not an excuse, nothing offered instead. We ordered desserts (our fried courgettes still on table), none of those desserts home made but fine. I’m a chef, and I just don’t understand how is it possible that for a seafood pizza there is no fresh seafood to put on it at the moment to bake it. We really loved to chat with the waitress which was very kind and friendly, and the italian waiter was nice as well, thank you!

We found this gem wandering around the centre on our 1st night in York. The waitress was friendly and polite. Ambience very pleasant. We ordered a bottle of wine to share. Hubby had the Alfredo pasta, decent portion, with ample bacon, not like some places that one has to search for the bacon. I had the veal cooked in white wine sauce which was served with rice, potatoes wedges, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower, simply delicious, we were both very impressed. Price was about £49.

Visited one evening with family. The restaurant was very empty which meant the service was good and fast but led to us feeling a bit rushed and pestered. Other than this we can't fault it. Complimentary bread on the table followed by delicious garlic pizza bread. Penne arrabiata was able to be made without meat for me as a vegetarian. Also tried some of the desserts - very nice. Would definitely return but hopefully on a busier night.

We stopped here on our way into town for a night out having tried many other Italian's in the past and fancied a change. The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were friendly and professional. The food was probably the best Italian food we have had in York. It was freshly made and tasted delicious. The portions were generous and the price was comparable to the other restaurants in town. Will definitely be visiitng again

We had an excellent meal here last night. I had Spinach & ricotta ravioli which was the best I've ever tasted & my husband requested a vegetarian calzone which was not on the menu but was no problem to make, it was packed with a selection of veg & was delicious. We would highly recommend

Sunday evening and my son and I sought something Italian to eat so came to Silvano’s. Lovely Corsican pizza. The linguine with prawns was a little disappointing in that there was no chili kick. Nice atmosphere.

We were served by Soufyane who was the perfect host - smart, extremely friendly and totally professional. The food (we opted for the two-course lunch) was superb: fresh ingredients, beautifully prepared and served. We had a glass of red wine which complemented the food perfectly.

Unfortunately did not have a great experience here due to mistakes that could have been avoided, we booked a table for a work celebration there was about 20 of us, we preordered based off the menu online. I had preordered penne marinara from their online menu, as I am from England I understood that this was just a tomato pasta sauce, and there is nothing on their online menu to suggest marinara is seafood, however I received a penne pasta with tomato sauce and seafood. My sister is allergic to seafood and I don’t eat it to keep her safe. I told them I didn’t order seafood penne, he became angry and shouted at me that I did, I asked to see the menu when he showed me, that’s when we all realised their online menu is different to the one in the restaurant, he brought me a menu to say marinara is seafood, but this is not mentioned on the online menu we used when we preordered, and unfortunately being English and not being Italian, marinara in England is just tomato garlic sauce not seafood like it is in Italy, my fault for not knowing marinara means seafood in Italian but the manager or owner who was serving us just began shouting at me. A female waitress apologised and moved him away from me and brought me just a tomato penne pasta said sorry again and understood what had happened and fixed the issue without an issue, clearly a mistake on both parts. After I’d eaten it the angry manager came over and asked me how my seafood pasta was sarcastically. 3 or 4 of us preordered the online menu tomato garlic bread to start, and one of us ordered a tomato garlic bread for their main. But when it arrived in the restaurant it was a plain garlic pizza bread, as their menu in their restaurant is different to the one online and doesn’t include tomato. Also despite pre ordering two of the starters were missing and had to be chased up 10 mins or so after we had all eaten our starters and the same happened again for our mains, two were missing and a side of chips which we had to chase up. We spent about £582 and just didn’t feel we had a good experience despite pre ordering and we even brought our pre order on a document with us to make sure we were organised when we got there. Food was excellent however and we had a good time. Just a shame to be shouted at in a restaurant by the manager at what clearly was a genuine mistake, as I don’t speak Italian.

3 course dinner for Restaurant week (basically it equate to a free drink with the offer). All of the food was prepared and served beautifully and tasted amazing.

My friend and I popped in here, where a cinnamon pastry caught my eye and served as a sweet breakfast. Aly’s looks to specialise in cheesecake, but we were heading into the city centre, so it wasn’t really the time for us to buy a slice.
