Sylvia's Brick Oven

I have been meaning to update this for months now, but I'm sorry to say I have just gotten around to it!  

We have been to Silvia's many times since they first opened, and I am happy to say they have worked out most of the technological glitches, and every pizza, pasta, and salad has been absolutely delicious. The roasted vegetable / roasted squash salad is seasonal (so it is almost always different), always uses incredibly fresh ingredients, and is easily my favorite salad in town. The pasta dishes also always use fresh vegetables as well (the gnocchi is wonderful!).

The service has been good about 90% of the time (we have had joe slow/inattentive service, but the servers are always kind and friendly, and more often than not, excellent).

Some room for improvement: they don't really have a dedicated host(ess) -- everyone is busy doing lots of jobs -- so you may need to wait a few minutes to be addressed. The wine list could also be expanded -- perhaps with some bottle-only selections. Otherwise, Sylvia's is an awesome place for a casual night out :)

This is a place that has creative dishes and more importantly the quality is always top notch. I've been here only a handful of times but can't ever complain. I'm pretty dead set on their meatball appetizer and chicken florentine ravioli. Yes they actually added more to the menu besides pizza. The ambience is nice and the fact that you can watch them in the kitchen is pretty fun. We don't have many great options for real Italian food here in town so I've been grateful that they have opened. You gotta check it out either way, just go early cause there isn't much of a parking area.

The pizzas and pastas were all excellent.  They had a real brick oven for cooking the pizzas, and all ingredients were fresh and of high quality.  They even brought us a free extra pizza of the day when they put someone's order in wrong.  Loved the homemade meatballs. The service was great and the atmosphere had a nice character to it.  There was a grand piano in the dining area so perhaps they do live music sometimes.
