How do you say silverware?

My question is how to say silverware. When I say "silverware" I am not referring to utensils necesarrily made of silver. I mean the word for spoons, forks, knives altogether.
If I was at a reasturant and wanted to tell the waiter that I don´t have any utensils and didn´t want to name each utensil individually how would ask for my "dining utensils"?
Thanks

A less common option, but closer to the original "silverware" is "platería" - occasionally used for fine silverware.

I was going to say "cubiertas" but it is incorrect. "cubiertos" is correct for the utensils

Cubiertos means silverware or cutlery. A place setting or setup is either cubierto or servicio.
