Profile

Although this annex to Da Silvano has a bar—a convenient place to sip a drink (or three) during the inevitable wait—it's not serving bar food. It's a serious restaurant in its own right, with a serious menu of codfish carpaccio, taglierini with sea urchin and avocado, lobster catalana. The narrow sliver of a room has French doors, Italian straw-bottomed seats and bar stools, tea-stained stucco, and a vintage hand-cranked Italian slicer, guaranteeing perfect prosciutto. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

I Live around the corner, so we decided to try it on a sunday evening, and it was horrible. We ordered the special and it was less than fresh and our waiter had the nerve to give us attitude when she took it back. The rest of the food was average. The tiramisu was stored in the same refrigerator as the pork, and tasted off. The wine list is ridiculously expensive and you will be pressured to order a wine bottle that is $100+. Go to Babbo or Lupa instead, they are much nicer , the food is better, and the ambience including celeb spotting is superior. At Da Silvano there are two rooms, the one were the celebs are pampered and the other one, which is empty and you get treated like crap. Food that could make you sick is inexcusable at any restaurant, let alone one this expensive.
