Reviews Summary
Mamma Silvia's Italian Kitchen is praised for its fresh, made-from-scratch Italian cuisine, particularly its pasta dishes and the unique tableside salad preparation. Diners often highlight the friendly staff and warm ambiance, making it a recommended spot for a date night or special occasion. However, some guests have noted inconsistencies in food quality and service, with occasional issues regarding preparation or attentiveness.
"The highlight of our meal was without question the pasta. The Alfredo sauce was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced, and the Gorgonzola Pumpkin Ravioli was impressive, with a bold, savory flavor and slightly sweet finish that paired beautifully.
Portions were generous and presentation was inviting. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates well-executed pasta dishes."
Stacey Kolander
"Yum! Spent one night in Durango and chose this place for dinner. The homemade bread is amazing. Had to ask for a second basket. Honestly, I could’ve made a meal of just the bread! Next we ordered the Caesar salad for two people, and it is done tableside. I highly recommend the experience. Have you got the lasagna, and I ordered the lobster ravioli. It was delicious."
Holly Wilhelmi
"Got the angliotti ravioli and expected when paying $24 for six small ravioli for it to be fairly decent quality. As soon as I opened the box I noticed the sauce is broken and the ravioli is over cooked and tough."
