We have a plethora of wonderful Italian restaurants in this area.
If you are looking for one with a menu that features many delightful sauces not dominated with tomatoes I suggest you try this quaint establishment on Hooper Ave in Silverton.
It’s a BYOB & has parking.
Sure you’ll enjoy!!!!

Had dinner tonight at a new location for Family Tavola in Pt Pleasant.
Food is very tasty & reasonably priced.
I sampled the Meryl’s chicken & my wife had Chicken Murphy.
It is a byob with parking which is small in front but appears to have space behind the establishment.
Dining area is very casual & I believe could use a splash of color but pleasant.
If in area worth trying.
