We’re known for wood-fired pizzas, mini burgers, fresh salads and chef-inspired entrées, like pan-seared sea bass and oven-roasted filet mignon. It’s American bistro fare, crafted from high quality ingredients with a chef at the helm in every kitchen.Matchbox draws in passersby with oversized windows lining the sidewalk and a front-row view of the blazing pizza oven. Once indoors, the vibe remains warm and residential, as though guests are being welcomed into the Matchbox home. The design achieves this effect through elements like draperies to soften some of the more industrial edges and add texture, open shelving and wine displays, light gray wood wainscotting, and hardwood flooring throughout to lend natural warmth. Hand-painted murals from local artists add further context to the neighborhood, and bring in a touch of personality as well.Outdoor seating on patios along both Woodmont Avenue and Elm Street offer plentiful people-watching in warmer months.

Claudio Pirollo grew up in Belgium where he soon discovered his passion for cooking as he wandered around his father’s fine Italian épicerie (grocery store) and watched his mother prepare dinner every day. The dual influence of Italy and Belgium triggered Chef Pirollo’s aspirations to develop his knowledge and experience with different flavors.A Trattoria is not a pizzeria, it is an Italian-style eating establishment that is generally much less formal than a ristorante but more formal than an osteria. It is similar to what the French call Bistrot.Trattorias are traditionally family owned, casual, rustic neighborhood restaurants found throughout all of Italy that offer fresh, regional, local and family specialties on the menu.

    As always, the food and service at Silver were excellent. It was a very busy night; they served the crowd really well. We asked for sauce served on the side on one order, and to have one of their excellent desserts divided into two separate servings; those special requests were handled perfectly. Each of us enjoyed a delicious meal served exactly the way we wanted it.

    We go to Morton's as a special Christmas Eve dinner tradition. Our food and service did not disappoint!! Not only was the food delicious, we were treated do well. It is such a nice fine dining experience. What made the night complete, and the best, was our server. Our waiter, Severin, is AMAZING!!! We had him last year and requested to be sat at one of his tables this year, which the restaurant kindly honored our request! He is so personable and really gets to know his customers. He made several recommendations which were spot on. We cannot wait to go back!

    The Clementine salad we shared as an entree was refreshing and tasty. We both had the chicken stew “pollo guisado con arroz” from the “abuelo” (Jose’s grandparents recipes) and enjoyed it immensely the service was prompt.
