First and foremost, our server stony was fabulous!!! He made up for the fact that we were basically seated in the kitchen and then told most of the tables we could've had were reserved for large prom parties. Food was fabulous and served piping hot. My tuna was a bit dry but the vegetables it was served with helped. The chef did forget to serve my dish with the polenta but our server brought it out later. The restaurant is a bit pricey but overall a good experience. We will be back.

Pros: atmosphere nice, lasagne delicious, wine was tasty, tenderloin in gorgonzola delicious, service adequate, extensive menu, one special.Cons: Table too small and uncomfortably close to next table; waitstaff constantly interrupting mood to enter bread-slicing pantry; amount on plate could have been bigger, also no salad. Small, sad bread basket. Exorbitant prices. Could identify where cost cutting was happening. Won't be celebrating our 45th anniversary here.Parking: Before 6pm you must feed meters.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Durango! We have been there many times and will always go back. They have many different pasta dishes and more as well as great food and drinks and most of the time great service! It is a nicer restaurant so the prices are higher, and I would recommend making reservations ahead of time. They offer Boba and maybe a few of the other drinks or dishes from next door (East By South west because the same people own it). The food comes out not fast or slow. And they have great desserts too. Great food, decent service, I would recommend this place as one of the best Italian restaurants in Durango!Parking: Only street parking nearby which is free after 6:30Kid-friendliness: Kid Friendly with kids menu
Had a WONDERFUL dining experience. The food was probably the best Italian food I have ever had! Next level for sure! Our server, Dan, was top notch and made our dinner so very enjoyable! Would highly recommend eating here and we will definitely be back!

Romantic... come here if you wanna fall in love with the food... bring the person you want to fall in love with. And get the damn mozzarella frittis. They will make you eyes roll back in your head. Let Tonny help you pair your food with wine... i made the mistake and got sake. Those frittis and pasta deserved a beautiful wine. But i love this place. I cant wait to come back

We got to experience the lobster bisque, chicken parmigiana, filet, & pumpkin ravioli all of which were delish. for dessert we had the chocolate mouse and donuts - both were heavenly! The only quirk was a stemless wine glass for a red - I think they may have been cognizant of my daughter being at the table with us.

The food is good although portion size can be a letdown and they do charge for take away containers and they're not cheap.Parking: typical parking options for downtown Durango

I don’t normally do this but Tony is one of the best servers I’ve had in a very long time! Food was delish!
Wonderful food and service; front entrance could use some sprucing up...almost didn't make a reservation after walking by the place earlier in the day. Glad we did, though, it was excellent!
We always enjoy coming here. The scallops and ravioli special was delicious. The kids loved the mozzarella sticks-we had to fight them off to get one for ourselves! Thanks for such a wonderful evening-our server was awesome!!

The service was great but my pasta was undercooked and very bland. The other dish we got charged for pasta instead of the other options which we were not told about and the sauce was very spicy pretty pricey also for what you get and it was a disappointment.

We have been here 3 times on recent visits to Durango and have been in the bar area (which we prefer). Tony, the bartender made us feel welcomed and special on our visits. The food is incredible. Have had a couple of the appetizers & 5 different entrees and every bite has been delicious! It is a small place, so reservations are recommended.

Great food, the Veal Francaise was fantastic, Sea Bass light and tasty, and the Chocolate Mousse Cake was to die for! our second time here and definitely not the last.

If you are in Durango (and appreciate real Italian food), I highly recommend dining at Mama Silvia’s. You won’t be disappointed! For drinks, our party enjoyed the blackberry mojito, sangria, and espresso martini. They were absolutely delicious! We were slightly overwhelmed when it came to ordering food but that is only because there were so many tasty sounding options on the menu. We ended up selecting the agnolotti, veal Parmesan and Paglia E Fieno and shared. Absolutely delicious; you can tell the dishes are made from scratch. We ate everything on our plates. We made sure to save room for dessert and are so glad we did. The strawberry shortcake and chocolate mouse were some of the best desserts we have tasted. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the cocktails, menu options or desserts at Mama Silvia’s. Enjoy!
