A Hidden Gem: Silvi Restaurant - A Piece of Abruzzo in Finchley
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Silvi Restaurant, and I must say it’s truly a hidden gem. This lovely spot brings the authentic flavors of Abruzzo right to Finchley, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic.
From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by Pierpaolo, who was incredibly professional and attentive throughout our meal. His passion for the cuisine and commitment to providing excellent service were evident and made the experience even more special.
The food at Silvi is exceptional – each dish is crafted with care and authenticity. You can tell that the ingredients are fresh, and the flavors are genuine, offering a true taste of Italy. Every bite took me straight to Abruzzo, where the roots of the restaurant’s cuisine are from.
Whether you're in the mood for classic Italian dishes or a taste of something new, Silvi offers something for everyone. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family.
I highly recommend Silvi Restaurant to anyone who is craving authentic Italian food in a warm and welcoming environment. Thank you, Pierpaolo, for such an amazing experience. I will definitely...

The place has a lovely atmosphere, with dim lights and well thought out Italian decorations that draw your eye. The music is lively too.
The tiramisu for dessert was absolutely delicious too!
Highly recommend, particularly for big groups and those who love a proper...
Read moreJust wanted to recommend Silvi’s the new Italian in East Finchley (where Bufi used to be). My husband travels to Italy regularly for work and is taken to the most amazing restaurants however he has said the food at Silvi was easily as good! Being a foodie I was really impressed too - the pasta was clearly homemade and everything tasted fresh and was beautifully made and presented. I highly recommend the calamari and Pacherri pasta but all the dishes looked amazing! Oh and the house wines were top notch too… this really is a little gem...
