Da Silvano

Great food, but overpriced. Wish the portion was larger.

Good food but over priced IMO and I my opinion counts

Good food but the staff treated us a little weird the entire time we were there. They weren't rude but they almost acted as if we were not supposed to be there but were letting us stay lol. The owner kept being really awkward and walking by every few minutes as if to see if we were gone yet. He didn't seem too pleased to see us there and the staff was acting as if they were walking on eggshells. So weird!

Chef and owner Silvano Marchetto is a crazy arrogante SOB. I think he self medicates. (But that is my personal opinion) watching his mood swings during lunch and dinner service is a show and an example of someone impervious to reason.
He yells and screams and say off the cuff remarks which in a normal profession would have gotten in thrown into traffic.
the staff which is a tight group of insular ecuadoreans are notorious for pushing out any waiter that does not look like them or act like them. They are a pushy racist bunch but like
the old Italian proverb
"The fish rots from the head."
In the summer time the chef parks his car out front(a Ferrari) in front of the fire hydrant, getting ticketed, all day. He is such a inconsiderate person.
So the ambiance is hit or miss depending on the medication of the owner.
The food is OK about a 3/5. It tastes good but the portions are tiny so that combines with the jammed packed sidewalk seating makes for an uncomfortable eating arrangement.
Bar putti up the block is better less stress and more relaxing.
If I want to be yelled at while eating. I Chango to china town but at least they wil not be yelling at me just at each other in fukanese.

Food was okay. Service was a little overbearing. The owner was running around and yelling making our dinner very uncomfortable. He actually was screaming at a table of two women and threw them out of the restaurant! I didn't get the whole story - but it certainly ruined our meal. He continued to rant even after they left.

It seems the place next door is taking most of the business as it was packed, and he is having a difficult time adjusting.

Salad was good. Grilled octopus okay and pasta was very good (seemed homemade) but the sauce was a little light - even for a marinara sauce.
