If you're looking for a quick meal, don't go to Silvia's. If you're looking for great Eastern European style meal and have a couple hours to spend, please do try Silvia's. This is not the traditional dining experience. Silvia has an extensive menu, but if you order something the kitchen is short on, or is just not good that day, Silvia will recommend something for you and it will be delicious! You don't always get exactly what you order, but that's not a bad thing... just go with it. Most times Silvia herself will take your order and bring you your meal. Everything is fresh, from the in-house made bread to the desserts. You will definitely be bringing home the leftovers, as there is more food than you can possible eat in one sitting. I can't stress enough, go in with an open mind and an empty stomach. Don't let the decor fool you. You'll come back again and again. More...

Went here yesterday with my husband and two childhood friends. Everything was so good. Chef Sylvia is the best host and cook ever. She makes sure you never go home hungry. We all had so much food to take home. She even baked a delicious cake which she served to us still warm. If you want fresh, home-cooked food, then this is the place to go without breaking the bank. Sylvia, you are the BEST ! More...

The chief was the nicest lady ever. She was the old grandma everyone wants. She even told my friend you didn't finish your food why. When we got there was a loaf of bread, then she brought a salad I wanted to eat. It was great please go. More...

Sylvia's is truly a diamond in the rough! My husband and I just had dinner there tonight. The wine was delicious and was a generous pour for only $5. 00! Beer was also very affordable ! The food was delicious (We had pasta primavera and eggplant parmigiana)and the portions were huge! The most surprising thing was the lack of people in this wonderful restaurant! Sylvia couldn't have been nicer and more hospitable! Enfield residents stop going to all the chain restaurants in town and try Sylvia's, you won't be disappointed! Let's support our local businesses!

Going to Syliva's Restaurant is like going home to see my family for a meal. Sylvia is warm and cares for her guests. She makes all of her food with love. We visited for her annual Thanksgiving buffet meal and it was such a warm, inviting, wonderful experience. So much food!! So many different European dishes, from Germany to France and Italy. There is definitely something for everyone (and don't skip the deserts -she is highly skilled in her breads and pastries, too!) More...

Had our daughter's wedding reception at Silvia's restaurant. We could not have had a better experience. The food was excellent and the choices were diverse so everyone had a lot to chose from for their meal. Silvia shared a European tradition of breaking bread with the newlyweds and parents. It was a lovely gesture. It was a wonderful time. More...

Visited this restaurant while staying in the area for the Brimfield Antique show. The owner is a passionate and kind woman who has great food recommendations. The menu is flexible, and can be adjusted. Portions are very good, at a reasonable price. All of the food is homemade, and includes bread, salad, and dessert (all delicious). We very much enjoyed our meals and will be returning in the future! Highly recommended. More...

I can accept all of the reviews except for the bad food. I ate there in the winter with a friend and the place was relatively empty and uncomfortably cool. However, Sylvia's warmth made up for the chill (not literally but you know what I mean). The menu had a number of choices but Sylvia recommended whhat she thought was best that night and assured us that we would love it. She was correct. The breads, salads, soups, entree and desserts were all very good. I do suffer from a vision problem, my eyes are bigger than my belly, and I think that I ate enough for two days and still had leftovers. It is not fancy by any means, the wines are not to my liking so I simply refrained from ordering any, but the meal was worth it. One of the best meals that I ever had was in Milano - where the chef just brought out plates of his choice. In a way, that is how I view this restaurant. I don't understand her pricing, but it is reasonable and worth it! More...

Silvia went out of her way to make it a very enjoyable experience. She's a very hands-on owner and it makes a difference when you're at a place where the owner is very involved. Excellent food and service. I will definitely go back. More...

Honestly an astonishing restaurant. French, German, Romanian, Hungrian, Jewish, Russian all in one restaurant. So glad i found it.
I enjoyed every minute! So many things to say: First, The food is delicious!! Such a unique and fresh taste. Everything made with care even the drinks. Second, the prices are extremely reasonable. One entree comes with a soup, salad, homemade bread/ butter and dessert, can't go wrong with that! Third, the location is in a beautiful area by a lake, perfect for what this restaurant presents. Forth, the inside has such a welcoming and homey flare which i loved. Lastly, Silvia! The sweetest most loving person. Employees are nice and welcoming. I honestly have nothing bad to say. I hope others will get the chance to experience what this restaurant is truely about.
Thank You Silvia's Restaurant

It's like going to your grandmother's house for dinner, the chef is a show all her own and great cook. If you want something special just ask and she will custom a dish for you. Great old world cooking with a homey feel. More...

The food at this restaurant is beyond top notch, I can't say enough great things about it. The soup was our starter which was easily some of the best soup I've ever eaten. We then were served a still warm, fresh loaf of bread. Next came the fresh salad with delicious feta and house dressing. By this point I'm reaching delightfully satisfied, almost full. The phenomenal meal came next; there were no salt and pepper shakers on the table, signifying everything was perfectly seasoned, which it was!! Just when I thought I couldn't eat another bite, 2 still warm brownies were served!! Needless to say, we brought so much food home and still walked out about to burst at the seams. I can't believe we hadn't heard of this place sooner, but we'll certainly be regular patrons now!! More...
