Believe the hype: Da Silvano offers Cucina Toscana as delicious as the beautiful, celebrity-studded crowd that flocks here. “Yummy, yummy,” gushed Madonna about Da Silvano’s dishes, and it appears that most of New York agrees. The larger-than-life owner, Silvano Marchetto, has a lot to do with it, presiding over his cozy, eclectically furnished restaurant with panache – and a careful eye and hand – most every day of the week. The robust, earthy Tuscan fare includes Silvano’s famous panzanella, bread pudding seasoned with sea salt and tangy red vinegar; juicy pepper tuna steaks; mussels dunked in garlic, olive oil, and white wine; and all kinds of housemade pastas. Come summer, the outdoor tables overflow with diners enjoying their Tuscan specialities, wine and grappa “al aire libre.”
