We had a great night at family tavola! We started off with calamari and hanging egg plant which were fantastic. We loved the unique presentation (pictured below) and the addition of honey!
We all had one entree each – classic Italian dishes which were delicious. The vino bianco was my favourite but I’d definitely recommend meryl’s chicken too! Portions were perfect size and we left the place stuffed!
Our server, Diana, did a wonderful job and looked after us all night along with great entertainment from the DJ who took our song requests!

Just had our first dinner and it was a 10 Star! I never knew they had a full restaurant and parking in the back. Service was impeccable and the portions very generous. An exciting Italian menu for a change! It is BYOB. Highly recommend! The hanging Eggplant was the star of the night and the Chicken Francais with artichoke hearts was the bomb.

Way more than just a slice. We had a fantastic dinner and a pleasure to meet the owner and get a little bit of the secret menu. Order the hanging eggplant starter – secret and delicious

The best hospitality one can ever receive. A big shout out to the owner. A true gentlemen and a humble man. This is the definition how an establishment should be ran. The waitress was awesome. I am mad at myself for the super late review but we are here! Food great! atmosphere great! and a nice dinner experience my gf and I had. If you decided to parasail in the area and decide to grab a bite afterwards you will not regret!
Dr. Shawn approved!!

12 of us for my wife’s birthday , 10 of the 12 had never been to the restaurant, every one had an amazing meal. The appetizers all delicious the hanging eggplant a huge hit . Everyone loved their entrees. They brought out a spectacular tray of mixed desserts that was a huge hit. The service was top notch. Everything from start to finish was excellent. Every one of our party was impressed and it made for a great birthday dinner for my wife.
Family Tavola Point Pleasant is a must try.
Original review
Delicious meal from start to finish. Service was excellent. The hanging eggplant appetizer was delicious and unique. Beautiful salad served family style. Each in our party of four enjoyed every course of our meal. Desert was delicious. The owner checked with us throughout the evening. Excellent experience.

Family Tavola at 3205 NJ-88 in Point Pleasant is a fantastic addition to the local Italian scene—authentic flavors with a fresh twist that make every meal memorable! The chicken parm is crispy on the outside, tender inside, smothered in rich marinara and gooey cheese, and their handmade pasta dishes like the lobster ravioli are pure indulgence. Cozy atmosphere perfect for family dinners or a romantic evening, and the staff treats you like one of their own with spot-on recommendations. Portions are generous, prices fair, and it’s conveniently located for takeout after a day at the shore. Already planning my next visit!

We went for dinner right before Christmas. Great food and atmosphere.
The hanging eggplant and meatballs were fantastic. We will definitely be back soon.

Everything from the assorted apps to dessert was on point. EXCELLENT. One of the reasons I hated moving from NJ. Will return on my monthly return to NJ. You won’t be disappointed!!!
