Silvio's Trattoria e Pizzeria

I’ve been hearing about Silvio‘s for a while from a couple of friends, so we decided to give it a try. It is uniquely situated in the corner of Bush‘s supermarket, but don’t let that fool you. It has a separate entrance and has a very quaint atmosphere. For those who don’t know, Trattoria represents a family run business in both the kitchen and the front end of the restaurant, with homemade food. As we were seated, we noticed a gentleman in the back cooking and making pizzas and found out later that he in fact was Silvio, making the food with his own hands. Our waitress was of course, family as well, and told us that every item on the menu is made from scratch. And it really showed! I had lasagna, which was absolutely fantastic! I would’ve liked a little bigger piece, but it was great. My wife had salad and the Michigan ravioli, which was very unique and tasted wonderful. The salad was presented beautifully and included artichokes and other specialty ingredients which made it beyond ordinary. We definitely plan to visit again!

So impressed by our entire meal and service from start to finish. I’m a picky Italian and this place checks off every box from quality, excellent service and more! This is definitely a farm to table vibe! Fran is amazing! Silvio is so OG and amazing! I will definitely be back!

Silvio’s is the real deal! My wife and I's favorite restaurant! Authentic Italian food, friendly people, and an atmosphere that feels like family. The pizza is one of a kind, and everything from the wine and beer to the desserts, is top-notch. If you want delicious, genuine Italian done right, Silvio’s is the spot! Oh, and you can count on Silvio having Formula One or Tennis on! 😅

We LOVE Silvio’s! This restaurant has been our favorite spot for our Friday night dates for the past 4 years! We have not left a review- shame on us but we can’t really say enough about the food, the wine, the dessert, and THE PEOPLE. Thank you, Silvio, Fran, Phil, and all the staff- you make us feel like part of the family at your dinner table. 🩷 Ciao Bella

My son and I went here to eat and the food was amazing. Wish we had larger stomachs so we could have eaten more! The Mushroom pizzas were both beyond our expectations. And the homemade soup made us want to come back the next day. Service was pleasant and they treat you like family. Great spot to enjoy a relaxed and delicious meal.

If you haven’t already, I’d HIGHLY recommend visiting Silvio’s Trattoria E Pizzeria on Canton Center. The owner, Silvio, and his wife are the head chefs and it is a family run business. Incredible handmade pizza and pasta and wonderful service. Last night, Silvio made a fresh batch of gluten free pasta just for my order. It was absolutely delicious and his kindness and hospitality are unmatched. I have celiacs disease and have been impressed again and again by how accommodating the staff is in this regard. Support a local family owned business AND enjoy an incredible meal. We keep going back!

Only good thing I could say is the girl in the front was nice and the food didn’t take long, but the portion size for the price is ridiculous! I got an order of the Michigan Ravioli and a side of garlic bread and my total wad $24. The size of the ravioli looked like a kids meal portion, and the bread was just a large, stale crouton. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

Such a vibe here! Family owned and operated. Gluten free options are so good. I got the arugula side salad, side of fettuccine Alfredo with ham and mushrooms and a breakfast pizza. Homemade gluten free noodles and crust! I even got a beautiful mock-tail.

Sat on the patio with the pups. Nice large space, I wish the chairs had cushions though. It's hard to hang out too long out there. We had another delicious dinner. The clams pasta is always my favorite but the saffron rissoto is maybe my new fav! Service ALWAYS friendly.

Hidden Gem alert! Silvio's has no business being as fantastic as it is. It would be easy to discredit a restaurant attached to a grocery store, but you would be doing your tastebuds a disservice! Food: everything was probably the best version of that dish I've had in a while. Caesar salad; pricy, but could feed 2-4 people for an appetizer. The real Italian Romano cheese, coupled with what I suspect was sourdough croutons (homemade), really elevated this salad. Chicken Parm: my husband ordered this, and I thought it was better than any chain Italian restaurant version. Loved that it was not sweet like so many other marinaras. You can tell it is made in house! He appreciated the amount of chicken, but prefers large chicken breasts, instead of the smaller cutlets. Farm Fresh Burger: I know, I went to an Italian place and ordered a burger, but when I read the description of it, I swooned. It was probably the best burger I've had in years! Loved the flavor and texture. Gluten free friends, though they have GF pastas, they do not have a a GF bun, so you'll have to go bunless. The accompanying salad was equally as delicious. Just had to get the tiramisu, and there are no regrets! Silvio's is close to being as good as The Chop House tiramisu. Ambiance: pretty chill for a Tuesday evening! Nice outdoor area. Loved dining inside, did not feel like a restaurant in a grocery store at all. Wish the service could have been better, the waitress was not great at knowing the menu, and was not prepared for questions. It seems like this may be her first job though. All in all, Silvio's Trattoria e Pizzeria does a superb job with choosing quality ingredients, and you can taste it in every bite. Looking forward to dining her again!

I love a good margherita pizza, but this was definitely not the place for that. Gave it another shot and came back hoping for a better experience. Instead, we stood waiting at the host stand for someone to acknowledge us. When the guy finally walked over, he just said, "We are full," with a confused look--no estimated wait time, no suggestion to check back, nothing. So we left. And we won't be back. Anyone raving about this place must have never been to Cantoros or any decent Italian restaurant.

The food here given the price you pay is underwhelming. I don't mind the portion sizes themselves but if you are going to charge what they charge it better be really good and wow me. For example, I ordered the cannelloni for $22. It's good not the best food I have eaten by far and that doesn't even include a salad or soup, I think you can add on a side salad for $4.00. The service was ok. I can't really say much about the ambiance, it was a Monday at 5pm so not very many people were there, plus it was before a Lions Monday night game so I wouldn't expect there to be. Unless my family wanted to go back, I don't think I would ever pick this place.

This is a great spot! Adorable ambiance and live music along with authentic and innovative food options. While I was studying the menu, a man began playing a flute like instrument and sang beautiful Italian songs. I started with a few unity vibrations raspberry kombuchas which were fab. I then proceeded with the arrosticini which is the most tender lamb skewers. These were phenomenal and I highly recommend! For my main, I took the server's suggestion and went with the rotating pizza of the month. It was a brisket and asparagus pizza. Bomb! The brisket was the most tender that I have ever had. The cheese topping was hard to pinpoint. It was almost like a soft , omelette texture and it was the perfect base for the finely chopped asparagus. The service was a little slow, but I'll definitely return to try some vegan and seafood options.

Our server was outstanding. It was very good ambience attached to a bush market, which says in my mind that the food was totally fresh.

My husband started with the garlic bread. It was a nice size piece, and was buttery and garlicky. I loved it, though it was a bit strong on the garlic for my husband. Not for the faint of heart! I decided to try the lasagna and was glad that I did! It was some of the best I've ever had. All of the layers were melty and delicious - none of that chalky ricotta here! Silvio's advertises that make their own noodles, and that always makes a huge difference in texture. I would definitely order this again. Truly crave inducing!

I don't know how anyone would rate this less than 5 stars. The restaurant has the cutest atmosphere, perfect for a casual lunch but also for a nicer date night. They seem to be very family oriented with their hiring too. The bread and olive oil is to die for, and the food was out of this world. We actually had 2 things missed in our order and didn't even notice because we were so happy with the food, until our server apologized with a complimentary dessert, which was also amazing! Can't recommend this place enough. You have to try it.

This is our first dining experience at Silvio's, we're really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, it did not come anywhere near our expectations. We tried the gnocchi dish, which was overly soft and mushy, and only given flavor by the salt. We also had the cannelloni which was supposedly made with a crepe but that was notably, thick and doughy. I would much prefer Rose'srestaurant just kitty corner from Silvio's. Much better in my opinion.

Silvio and his whole family and staff are excellent great food at a reasonable price the food is so good I felt like I wasn't paying enough for the meal I received do your self a favor and go eat there and if they don't like it your an idiot!

The food is fantastic and traditional, service is always top shelf. outdoor dining is available inside is nice or better than you'd expect for a restaurant in a bushes grocery store (don't let that put you off this place is worth it!). Get the Porchetta with Rapini!!!

Niece had New Year's Eve luncheon for family there. Bread was perfect with great crust and olive oil- kept bringing it. Caesar salad excellent. Pasta pomodoro was perfect. Chicken piccata tender and wonderful. And the desserts were great- mini cannolis and other pastries. Heading back there when we are in town!

I returned to give another try. I was very happy with the service while dining in. The staff was really Friendly and I got pasta which seems to be a strong point for menu options. They have a lot to choose from such as gluten free . My dinner mate got the blueberry pizza and loved it. We both drank wine. Thank you for a great experience . I'm happy I gave them Another chance .

Miss the JBs bbq that was here in Bush's before but this is a pretty good place. Nice patio too. Have only had a pasta dish and the lasagna was really good! Need to comeback and try the pizzas!

Got take out from this place to celebrate my home bound mother's birthday. Unfortunately it was so disappointing. We paid $26 for a tiny 3"x3" piece of lasagna that was just mushy (pasta didn't hold up to being reheated by the restaurant). Other dish had black spots in the pasta but I don't think it was pepper. Definitely won't be back. I'm very sad that we had this horrible (and expensive) meal for a celebration dinner :(

Plain calamari and lasagna was average. Uncomfortable seating. Service was good tho, will need to try again

I visited Silvio's during a visit to Ann Arbor in February 2020. You can find my review here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/silvios-ann-arbor-2?hrid=r-4yFFcJ7uHn9pXlqXqnWw&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) I loved Silvio's when I was at the University of Michigan and was happy to see that it was still in business. Silvio's has since moved to Canton and is in the same building as Busch's Fresh Food Market. Quite a change from a big university campus to suburbia, but the new restaurant is more spacious with outdoor seating. I ordered the Patate Pizza. It is the potato pizza with gorgonzola cheese and rosemary. It was good but tasted a bit plain. There was also a bit of crust bubble and burn. If I order it again I will ask for additional toppings like sausage or truffle oil. My opinion hasn't changed from February 2020. I was more impressed with the food when I was a student but it is still a good place for organic Italian cuisine.

Insanely delicious!!!!! THANK YOU for giving me a taste of Italy in the U.S. I felt like being back in Roma again for a moment! the owner talked to me at the bar for a little bit and you could tell that everything is made with passion and authenticity! I met his daughter as well and she was pleasant and sweet. Thanks guys, I am definitely coming back with hubby and maybe even whole work crew since it's so close in the area. 10/10 Recommend!!

I have ordered the blueberry pizza adding grilled chicken for lunch. The chef actually upgraded the chicken to add rosemary with garlic and it tasted great. I'd like to try other dishes too!

Easily the best, AUTHENTIC Italian restaurant around! This place is truly a hidden gem. The restaurant is on the side of Busch's Grocery Store and it's a 10/10 experience every time. Handmade pastas, high quality ingredients, and genuine Italian food. We always start with the Arugula Salad, and it's big enough to share with 3 people. The prosciutto, the Romano cheese, and balsamic are so perfect together, simple ingredients but so harmonious together. My boyfriend raves about the prosciutto quality it tastes very fresh and quality. The pastas are all handmade, we ordered the carbonara, the gemeli pesto pasta, the chicken Alfredo, and the owner Silvio was sweet enough to make a Cacio E Pepe even though it wasn't on the menu. All of the pastas we tried were incredible! This is the type of food where you don't feel terrible after eating because it's not processed fake food. We also came back to try their margherita pizza and I remembered that I forgot to write a review so I'll add that to this one... OH MY GOSH! Not to be dramatic but that was the best pizza I've had in a long time. It's Neapolitan style, so it's like a thin doughy consistency and everything tastes fresh, the tomato sauce the basil the mozzarella it's amazing. The service is ridiculously good every-time that I feel guilty that I didn't write this review sooner! Thank you Phil & Francesca for always welcoming us and being so sweet, and thank you Silvio for coming to say Hi to us and making me the cacio e pepe.

Service was awesome. Italian singer was a pleasant surprise. He was great. Bread awesome. Calamari average. My wifes chicken alfredo was great. My spaghetti and meatballs were terrific. Drinks great. Yes its in a Grocery store but wow, we will return!

I have found at the best Italian food comes from these Mom and Pop locations where the family lovingly creates old family recipes and offers these dishes proudly to their community. The national chains continuously fall short mainly because their choices are made by a corporate board and not by a family's favorite recipes. Silvio's Trattoria e Pizzeria is one of those restaurants that faithfully serve their community consistently good food in a warm and friendly environment. You honestly cannot go wrong with anything that you order here. The pizza is good, as are there more traditional Italian main course dishes. The next time that your family is craving you good Italian food, I would recommend driving right past Olive Garden, Carrabba's and all the other places and heading this way. You know your family will be sorry for this choice. Not only that, you will become a faithful and regular customer.

BRAVO!!! I've never had a more gastronomical celebration of flavors, Selections and creative dishes in my life. Although traffic and distance would slow me down, Silvio's will be a regular in our lives. The staff were incredibly attentive. The chef amazed us with his genius. I had the orange roughy special. A ricotta pie & Another amazing dessert...a light pizza filled with fruit , Nutella & custard. Wow

I've eaten here a few times after shopping at Busch's grocery store since it's adjacent to the store. It's solid and the drinks are delicious. The server I always seem to get (Phil) is the friendliest guy ever and he does a really great job of being attentive but not overbearing. He makes this place special. I usually order the grilled lamb- cheese balls with sauce and the lemoncillo martini... and this is a nearly perfect meal ( just need to add a salad)

Horrible service and terrible management. Second visit with mass disorganization of staff. It did not appear that there was a shortage of front of the house staff. It was that they were all stepping on each others toes and far from friendly or hospitable. The wait for food is unacceptable particularly when despite self righteousness of management (see next comment) the food is not up to par. This is a family run business which I respect. Apparently the owners daughter is the "manager". Don't even think about bringing a concern to her attention. You will be met with excuses, denial, unprofessional behavior and outright disrespect. Stay away.

I come here for the pizza, which has always been fantastic. However the past few times it seems like it is very understaffed. Most of the time, the waiters apologize but most recently a particular waiter (son in law of Silvio) was rude and it took over an hour to get our food. Can't justify coming back if the service is so poor.

This family owned and run Italian spot right next to Busch's has flavors that will make you think you're in Napoli... or maybe Brooklyn... or South Philly. No matter where you hail from, the menu cries out "Molto molto bene, mangiare!" Whether you dine in enjoy a fantastic selection of wines and well-stocked bar or take an order to go, you better stop looking and go here. Since moving back to Michigan from the East Coast, Philadelphia, the city certainly known for its Italian food and culture (there's a restaurant and every corner out there), I haven't had a chicken Parm that flight got it perfect. An Italian American classic, Silvio, Phil, and Fran have it spot on. If you're looking for something more traditional, the gnocchi and more than a few pizzas offer something authentically Italian. This is the place you are looking for. The burger is low key delicious too, just in case you're in the mood for one.

Silvio's is a family owned, authentic Italian restaurant that'll make you feel like you're at a trattoria in Italy.. such is the authenticity of the food. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating and make you feel at home. Their pastas, pizzas and lentil soup are out of this world! Shout out to Fran and Phil! If you're around canton, definitely worth checking out:..

Silvio's was practically an Ann Arbor landmark when I was in college. Wasn't too impressed with them back then, but now that they've followed me out to Canton, I decided to give them another try. So glad I did! We've both gotten take out and dined in over recent months, and it's become our go-to Italian restaurant. The food is made with care and curiosity (they have some really unique dishes like the blueberry pizza here as well as more traditional fare), and the service is the best I've had in a while. Favorites here include the truffle fries, meatballs, margherita pizza, and omg the arrosticini, which are little lamb skewers that they grill outside and come highly recommended if you are a meat-eater. Phil took amazingly good care of us when we dined in, too. Really bumped up the experience to a full five stars.

It taste really good. Great food. It so many yummy pizza that I want to try it next time. Staffs was nice and friendly.

We LOVED Silvio's!!! My husband was a bit apprehensive but since the reviews were really good we tried and... we both LOVED their food, wine, and service! I love their friendly service. They took time to explain food and wines. Everything is made from the scratch and I could really taste the quality of ingredients. We will visit soon with our friends. :) We highly recommend Silvio's!

Was an outstanding dining experience. Amazing delicious food with excellent service, in an very nice environment. Absolutely a place for those who love homemade Italian cuisine. Will be back......

Summary: Nice ambiance and good music don't make up for poorly prepared food. Ambiance: Canton is not a spot for trendy restaurants but Silvio's has a nice vibe with live jazz on the patio every Saturday and Sunday - very enjoyable environment - we'd actually only come to get groceries but the music and patio seating drew us in. Service: Service was good - nothing exceptional but nothing negative Appetizer: They provided bread with garlic basil olive oil that was quite nice - bread seemed fresh and was pretty tasty. Entree: We got the Margherita pizza thinking it is simple and reliable. Unfortunately it came out with half the pizza's bottom burnt - a little char is enjoyable, but this really was half the pizza. Further, the pizza was quite bland - the tomato sauce was lacking the fragrant, fresh flavor and chunkiness of San Marzano tomatoes and there was too little cheese, even for a Margherita. The crust, at least the parts that were not burnt was pretty good, light and airy internally with a nice crisp on the outside. Dessert: We had tiramisu which came nicely presented in a chalice of sorts and was tasty. Unclear if they used traditional Lady Fingers as the base, but all the components were there and it tasted good. We also had the vanilla Bomba which is a large donut like pastry filled with a vanilla custard. Unfortunately, it came out straight from the fridge and was actually quite cold which was unappetizing to start with and the custard was clearly broken/split making the texture pretty unappealing. Did not finish this. We were disappointed as the reviews were generally good and the atmosphere fun. We are unlikely to return, but if we do I may try the pasta instead.

Delicious pizza, with dairy free and vegan cheese and gluten free pizza available as well. The combo of DF plus GF in a pizza is not easy to find, which is why I will drive 30 min there and back to pick up food. Salads are delicious - packed with veggies and olive slices. Kind people as well. I have not eaten in the restaurant but the look of it is very elegant and classy.

So we heard Silvio's moved to Canton! Used to go to this place in Ann Arbor when we lived there. They had a great music scene, too bad that's probably not following them. They're in Busch's, probably replacing the smokehouse that was there. This is more accessible. Ordered online, went to the curbside and called. The guy brought it out shortly after, super safe. Threw in a free bag of biscotti too. Pizza was huge and really tasty, same as the one we used to order. Truffle pizza is so good! This biscotti was great too. They have pastas and other stuff like calzones, looking forward to trying these. This will be on our rotation for sure.

We ate here on Father's Day. We reserved a table that was ready when we arrived. Unfortunately, the restaurant had a few large parties, and they were backed up in the kitchen. We initially felt forgotten, but when management realized what had happened, they bent over backwards to make things right. Our food was hot and tasty when it arrived. All of the pasta was homemade. The whipped ricotta appetizer was amazing! And multiple managers came to apologize, brought us a free order of truffle fries, and desserts for six as well, all delicious and house-made. The chef himself came out to check on us. We will definitely be back.

Silvio is a native Italian who grew up in a family bakery. He runs the kitchen every day, while his daughter and her hubby run front-of-house. The food is all from scratch, and top notch. Worth a special drive, and if you live in the area, you should support regularly. A fine bar with excellent choice of draft beers, wine, and liquor, but not a craft cocktail scene. A true family-owned & -run restaurant, and a rare one with a full bar service. Join me in supporting this local jewel!

Great place for indoor and outdoor dining, also happy to note they will be getting shades for blocking westerly facing side, shortly. Staff was friendly and extremely helpful with menu suggestions and explanations. Meals are reasonably priced with good sized portions, note that salads are a la carte, not part of pasta meals. They have a large selection of pizzas, calzones and pasta with a good selection of salads in various sizes( good portions for sharing) and a variety of dessert options. Fairly extensive drink menu with beer, wine and Mixed drinks. We had the Michigan ravioli, meatballs and meatballs eggplant. Parking is so easy as it is attached to the Busch's grocery store and shares the parking lot. Overall a very nice eating experience that we will come back and repeat.

This place has a wonderful patio you can sit on when the weather is nice. The food was great I enjoyed a nice caprese salad and truffle mushroom pizza. It was yummy and Dawn was a great waitress. She was very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this place. Great location and food.

The service here is Top Shelf and yet provides a hometown local feel. We had just left an awful experience trying out a new-to-us local restaurant in Canton. It was so bad we had to walk out. We found Silvio's (another new-restaurant-to-us). As soon as we sat down the power went out! The staff went directly into turning it into a candlelight service :). They stayed up beat and highly positive and this was close to closing. Gabby and Kennedy were outstanding!!! So was the rest of the staff! We will definitely be back!! As soon as we're about to leave the power came on! Life is funny sometimes!!

Silvio's is our go to place for made from scratch authentic Italian. Honest and courtesy staff and management. Food and presentation always on point. And in the words of Joe Pesci from My Cousin Vinny " Everything that guy(Brett L.) said is b.s. thank you "

Disappointing. Absolutely fine, but nothing special. The waiter was exceptionally plugged in and was able to answer in depth questions, including what off menu things they would be willing to make for a diner. Very accommodating.

I've been to Silvio's Canton twice. The first visit was a good experience. The food and service were good. The second trip was horrible. After an hour-plus of waiting, we sat with no food and empty glasses. The server was inattentive and dismissive. When we informed him that we needed to leave to get to a show, he became defensive and combative. We paid our bar tab and left without eating. There are too few wait staff and they are poorly trained. Hopefully just growing pains for Silvio's.

Margarita pizza, bread, antipasto salad-10/10. Kennedy is a great waitress!!!!!!!!!!!

Food was ok - nothing special. The alfredo tasted like mac and cheese. Wouldn't come back here again. Live music was good but wayyyyy too loud i couldn't think

Easily the worst pizza I have had. Picked up a large pepperoni to go last night when I got it home crust was soggy, cheese was runny and greasy. almost like it was undercooked. How can you call yourself an "Italian Restaurant" and can't make a decent pizza? so disappointed.

Since moving to the area, I've been in search of a really good Italian restaurant. After reading rave reviews, I decided to give Silvio's a try and ordered carry out from here a few times. The first time I ordered pizza and a couple of sides, and it was decent but not as flavorful as I would have hoped. Since then I've tried a few pastas and their truffle fries (honestly, could probably eat these everyday) and those have been good. The cacio e pepe is a favorite of mine, a great comfort dish when I've got a pasta craving. It's not quite at the level of Italian food I was hoping to find, but there are definitely a few solid options to choose from on their menu.

We have dined at Silvio's many times. Always a great meal! Today, I tried Carbonara for the first time. It was incredible! We've tried several dishes on their menu and never disappointed. If you are a pizza person, their pizza's are delicious. They take pizza to the next level. Family owned & run authentic Italian restaurant. It's wonderful to be able go into a restaurant & chat with the owners. Note: Do not pass on dessert!!!

Food was ok, nothing outstanding. Not much of an menu. Had the pasta but didn't get soup or bread with it like some other restaurants. I wish them good luck but will not return.
