Friendly authentic Italian neighborhood eatery

As soon as my husband told me to pick somewhere for a dinner date, I looked up Silvio's. I'd driven past it many times but hadn't ever stopped in. The online menu looked to be reasonably priced and when I called they were able to hold a table for us without a prior reservation. We arrived and were warmly greeted & promptly seated. The waiter was friendly and pointed out a few specialties and we ordered. While waiting they brought out delicious warm bread and the best butter we've had since in Ireland. Turns out it's their own homemade butter, yum! We shared the rice ball appetizer (baseball sized and delish)! I ordered Scottish salmon, sautéed kale, and creamy garlic Parmesan risotto and it was excellent but I'm not accustomed to medium salmon. The chef/owner walked around and chatted with us and noticed I was eating the outside of the salmon and offered to make it fully done. My husband ordered chicken Parmesan over ziti and enjoyed it too. The dark lighting, friendly close knit atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent food, and fair price will have us returning for sure. The dessert tray of cheesecake slices, tiramisu, Italian Cream cake etc looked divine but we were too full to sample them this visit. Cocktail prices were overpriced for comparable establishments, not sure on other alcohol as we didn't drink.
