A few days ago we read an article about Silvi’s Southside Kitchen. A new Mexican restaurant owned and operated by a fellow Texan.

Guardian Construction Management Services oversaw the two-month renovation project and Edge Studio provided architectural support. Renovations include a completely renovated main dining area with brasserie-style mirrors and lighting as well as original artwork by French photographer Bertrand Celce, local Pittsburgh photographer, Hilary Robinson and other original artwork selected by Michael Hertrich of La Fond Galleries on the South Side.

It’s been years since I’ve had the stuff, so I stopped by on my way home from dinner in Shadyside. It had been a hot day, so I expected to see a crowd when I entered the store. There were only two other people in front of me… not a good sign.
One day you may find yourself slightly tipsy, yet trying to avoid drowning in the greasy quagmire that is typical South Side fare. Fear not, for there’s an escape located at 1107 E Carson St. If you don’t stumble by the unassuming storefront, you’ll find Chef Paul Krawiec preparing rustic French cuisine with the kind of care and confidence that compels one to make their next reservation on the way out.
