RUDE!
food was eh, service was not good at all. party of 10 on an early sunday night - capacity was 20% at best... and the waiter SHHH'd us! so rude. had to ask numerous times for things, no one was presented the dish they ordered. food was OK, but with thousands of NYC restaurants there is no reason to ever go here!

Love the Setting
Da Silvano is a great spot for a summer dinner. The waiters were friendly, a little slow but nothing that's not bearable. I would love to go again.

Not about the food
People who complain about the food and service forget that this place is all about sitting outside with sunglasses and being seen. With the first spring day, my friend and I went and did just that, and it is everything it always was - an "it" place with lousy food and service but still worth every penny! I just wish the stroller set would move on with their lives. Your Da Silvano time has passed you by!

Good food, slow service
Silvano is a nice place to go after taking in a movie at the IFC or before a show at the Blue Note. The food is good, though by all means not exceptional. But it is pretty expensive and the service was slow the last time I was there, even though the place wasn't crowded (which is unusual, by the way). Also try the nearby Bar Pitti.

my entre was inedible
My entre was inedible, the service was rushed and rude, and the food was way overpriced. The place has lost it's mojo. Will never return.

Disappointment
The staff does not know the meaning of customer service - having to ask for water countless times, for pepper or salt and getting a grimace for asking for more olive oil. The food was definitely not worth it - nothing special for the price. What you are paying for is the location and ability to people watch. Don't count on the food to blow you away like the fumes of the passerby cars do.

Nothing to write home about
The atmosphere was ok. The waiter was emotionless. The octopus salad was really rubbery. I have never sent anything back, but I simply could not eat it. Quail appetizer was decent. Dinner was 'eh'. Wine by the glass selection was a little weak. I was expecting more for the price I paid. I would not recommend.
