The story

Chez Silvano: A Quarter-Century of Italian Cuisine in Liège

A Quarter Century in Le Carré

Chez Silvano has anchored itself in a quiet alley within Liège’s Le Carré district for more than twenty-five years. This family-run Italian cuisine maintains a steady focus on sincerity and refinement. The owner greets guests with a measured warmth that sets the tone for the evening. A recent Gault & Millau rating of thirteen points reflects how consistently they translate that reputation into every service.

Seasonal Plates and Regional Foundations

The approach to Italian cooking stays grounded in seasonal ingredients rather than elaborate staging. Early courses feature thinly sliced melon layered over San Daniele mousse alongside octopus paired with watermelon and a roasted pepper gazpacho. Heavier options arrive as an eggplant rosace prepared in the manner of a classic Parmigiana or gnocchi tossed with Taggiasca olives and scampi. The kitchen also highlights tuna served with a vitellato sauce and beef finished with Sichuan pepper and Colonnata lard.

Desserts and Wine Selections

Dining takes place in a restrained room where conversation remains the priority. Guests can finish the meal with a traditional maritozzo filled with rosemary ice cream and fresh peaches or request a separate board of Italian cheeses. The wine list leans toward approachable pours priced between seven and fifteen euros per glass. Simple aperitifs and soft drinks round out the beverage selection without distracting from the food.
