Food, service and ambiance was all incredible!! Small family atmosphere is lovely and everyone worked together to make sure you had what you needed and taken care of. Really made us feel special. The food was amazing. Tasted home cooked and fresh! A really great place for any occasion or just catching up with friends over dinner! read more

Silvio's remains a great option for filling, indulgent Italian that you don't need to wait for a special occasion to eat. It's more approachable than fine dining but still refined a bit to feel a little fancy. And the food seems reliably delicious. Or at least that's the sense I got after visiting for the first time in many years recently. My friend and I were able to get a table, though the restaurant did seem pretty busy. I enjoyed a glass of wine from the menu that started the meal off right. And then I dug into the bolognese. This four-meat sauce is served in rigatoni. It's not fussy, just delicious. The ambiance was cozy enough that you could talk to your dinner mate without shouting but also not feel cramped. Silvio's might get overlooked, but it seems a solid option for an Italian meal. read more

Silvio's - Bolognese - Italian Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

The Caesar salad and veal parmigiana were good. But the prices are astronomical for the quality and portions. I would suggest bringing down the prices as they don't really reflect the quality of the food. Atmosphere is crammed. Hard to get a table. I guess it's good for Louisville standards. read more

The food here is amazing! Miraculously flavorful with every bite. The owner greeted us with a smile and kindly asked where we'd prefer to sit. Throughout the meal, both she and her husband checked in on us, adding a personal touch that made us feel more like family than customers. Our server Michelle was great too! She walked us through the menu and helped us decide what to eat read more

Found this place on the way home from the airport. Simply amazing! Met the owners Bill and Karen and daughter, Jackie . Such great people with incredible hospitality. All homemade pasta. So authentic! A must!!! read more

After reading about it in the Louisville Takeout Facebook group, we went to Silvio's for an early Valentine's Day dinner. We ordered a Caesar salad, eggplant parmesan, cheese lasagna with a meatball, and broccoli. The food arrived quickly, was flavorful, and had huge portions. However, our pasta dishes weren't very warm/hot. Our server was attentive and friendly and even offered to take our photo after dinner. It's a solid choice for Italian food. read more

Food was only fair. Service bad. Ambiance fair. Reservations for seven. Arrived on time but had to wait while they fixed. Was told that we were a problem. I thought we were customers. Will not return. read more

Silvio's - Chicken parm - Italian Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Oh my, this place will blow your mind!! I will be honest, we tried to get into one of our favorite Italian restaurants at the last minute and came up short. But wait, we found Silvio's!! Silvio's is a small, hidden restaurant in Louisville that we never heard of. They fit us in and quickly converted us. The service is unmatched, with the owners making sure your visit is special and all your dining needs are met. They are known for chicken parm however, we went for the lasagna and it was the best I have ever had. We are headed back soon for the chicken parm soon. The owner has a great story and will spend the time to tell you all about it. You will not walk out hungry or broke. The value for the entire experience is huge! Give this place a try but reservations are recommended. I'm getting hungry just writing this!! Give it a try!! Enjoy! read more

Service was wonderful, we felt like we were part of the family as soon as we walked in the door! Portions were so large, we could've split everything. I totally recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable dining experience where you're stuffed full of delicious Italian food at the end of the night. read more

Silvio's - Shrimp, scallops and pasta dish - Italian Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Spaghetti with meatballs was classic and hit the spot. The meatballs were juicy and had a great texture, not too dense. The sauce had just enough herbs to make it feel homemade. I appreciated how warm and welcoming the staff was. They even gave us a free dessert because it was our first time. Totally coming back. read more

Great food, good service, bustling nice ambiance. I had the seafood angel hair pasta. It was one of the best I have ever had. The mules, the shrimp. HEAVEN!!! Wish it had scallops though. YES I AM HINTING AT THE OWNERS & CHEF It would have been perfect with an addition of scallops. Angel hair pasta is one of the toughest as it's almost impossible to not let it get soggy & the chef (or sous chef or whomever after) had done a wonderful job. read more

Server Jackie was incredible, great service. Toasted raviolis were a little dry/chewy. Aglio e olio was mid. Very disappointed with this dish. Supposed to be an easy Italian classic, some say for a late night pasta or hangover dish. The olive oil and parsley was in excess, ultimately causing the flavor to be off balance. Lemoncello cake was delicious. Fun atmosphere. read more

Good food and the service is great also! It is a little loud but it is hard to get mad at people having a good time!

Very nice family-run restaurant with delicious Italian food. Had the baked ziti with spicy sausage and it was enough for 2 people. Try the limoncello cake! Excellent service and the owner came out to chat with us. Definitely a repeat if ever back in Louisville read more

The food and service at Silvio's is consistently superb. The atmosphere is welcoming and I always look forward to receiving a delicious dining experience. read more

Had our annual family Christmas dinner which involved three solid generations. Epic service, delicious food, drinks and dessert. Looks like a keeper for every year as pleasing everyone is hard to, but Silvio's achieved it in spades! read more

Have been going here for a while now but I'll talk about my most recent experience. Arrived for an early dinner. It's a nice cozy local family owned restaurant. The hostess was friendly and showed us to our table. I had the grilled romaine appetizer and wife had the Bruschetta. Both were fantastic. I then had a cheese lasagna and wife had the pork chop. I loved my Lasagna but the pork chop was even better. Then the chef came out and talked to everyone. Very friendly. For dessert I got the lemon cello which was again great. Would recommend! read more

Food was very overpriced. Somewhat flavorful but uninspired and DEFINITELY not worth $25-35 a plate. ($13 for a basic Caesar salad with no protein). We were drawn in by the architecture from the street, but inside it felt a little rundown and again, uninspired. With that kind of a structure, I would expect a little more thought to go into the ambience. We were also served our food by a young man who I thought might be the son of the owners because of his sense of disconnect with customers and his job. He seemed like he could care less. We left a bit resentful at the cost for such an average dining experience. read more

Great little family owned restaurant. My daughter and I met in Louisville for her birthday and she wanted Italian. I could not have picked a better spot. Great food, great service and friendly atmosphere. read more

Food and ambiance are great! The shrimp scampi from the appetizer with added angel hair pasta was a perfect t entree for me. It was the best I've ever had. My husband has chicken parmigiana and it was a huge piece of chicken with linguini. He ate ALMOST ALL of it. I definitely will be back. read more

Great small Italian spot. Ambiance is good but a smaller restaurant. Recommend the linguini and clams! read more

We were just passing through Louisville and stopped in Silvio's for dinner just based on the glowing reviews and OH MAN, it did not disappoint! The lasagna was absolutely life changing.

What a great Italian restaurant! The food was superb. Everything was presented well and tasted wonderful. I had the linguine with clam sauce which was to die for.

Food is amazing, atmosphere, small & family feel. Love the owner & staff, they are all so friendly & attentive

I went here with a group of 6 to celebrate a birthday. The food never disappoints!!! Two of us got the veil parm which gave us plenty of leftovers and just amazing, one person got the special for the evening and loved it, one ordered the spaghetti and meatball (also amazing), one ordered the Alfredo which was delicious, and last but not least one ordered the pork chop. He shared with the group and it was seriously cooked and served to perfection. Might have to get that next time! This is restaurant is also run by the best people and truly a local dime. Will always recommend for a date night or special occasion! The staff is amazing as well. read more

Great food and service. Nice atmosphere. Awesome baked ziti. Chef was super friendly and welcoming. The cannolis were on point. We went for our anniversary. read more

We went to Silvio's on a date night and it was such a pleasant experience. It is a small intimate place with a friendly feel. Parking is limited so prepare for that. Our service was wonderful and our food came out fairly quickly. I had the Bolognese, which was good, but I would probably get something else next time. It had something with a bit of a kick in it. My husband (who doesn't really enjoy going out for pasta) loved his Chicken park and raves about Silvio's being the best Italian restaurant in the city. We also had the cannolis, which I highly recommend-- so good!! We loved our experience here. Probably wouldn't bring kids with us, but would come back for a night out read more

Such friendly and efficient staff, and the bread was amazing! Came in from out of town with a couple friends, they loved their salmon, and my husband enjoyed his chicken parm. read more

Great food and service. Nice staff and atmosphere. Worth the hype. So glad we accidentally ended up picking Silvio's for dinner.

The service was great; food was delicious; and the portions are very satisfying. Three of us had dessert; the cannolis were outstanding. They have espresso, but sadly no frother for cappuccinos. All in all, a great experience for our first time being there. read more

The food was great and I enjoyed the ambiance. The owner was very friendly and proud of his restaurant. He visited tables and talked with customers which I haven't seen done for some time. We felt rushed through the whole meal by the waitress. She had to redo the checks 3 times. By the 3rd time she added the 20% tip for a group. I wouldn't have tipped her that much otherwise. Hopefully she had to share it with the helper that was very attentive. read more

Nice place for an Italian dinner. The food was very good - not the best I've ever had, but perfectly acceptable. The atmosphere was cozy but it was very loud so a bit of a challenge to have a conversation. Best part of the meal was the caesar salad- it was fresh and perfectly dressed. I also tried a side of risotto. It was okay, not a lot of flavor. The eggplant parm was fine. Breading was a little thick and sauce was runny but flavors were good. Service was fine, not spectacular but no issues. Overall, visit was fine. read more

Silvio's - Caesar, risotto and Bellini - Italian Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

We've gone to Silvio's twice and both the service and food are always amazing! My husband and I took a quick trip to Louisville and stopped for dinner on our last night. The portion sizes are pretty large so we decided to split a salad and a meal (chicken parm) both were fantastic and we still had to take a small box to go. We also couldn't resist the Italian cream cake, SO incredible, great place! read more

Silvio's in Louisville serves quality food with great flavors, though a bit pricey. 4 stars.

Great experience! Came here with my husband for a late Valentine's Day dinner. Don't wait long to get reservations! They are only open for a few hours in the evening and it is a SUPER small spot. We had to wait a bit to be seated for our 8 o'clock reservation, we were totally fine with it but the staff was super apologetic and thanked us several times for our patience. Super kind staff, great food, and great ambiance! read more
