Tavola234 Italian Kitchen + Lounge

At the landmark corner of South Sharpsville Avenue & East State Street, JCL is preparing a fresh culinary chapter:Tavola Italian Kitchen + Bar is a new Italian restaurant in Sharon, PA, created by the renowned restaurateurs behind Valley Kitchen and Valley Kitchen Boardman — the team that redefined breakfast and beyond in the Mahoning Valley.

Now, they’re bringing that same creativity, quality, and energy to Italian cuisine — reimagined. Tavola is an Italian kitchen, but beyond — elevated food, crafted cocktails, and a dining experience designed for gathering in downtown Sharon.

The concept will be leased to the Valley Kitchen Team. Interior by Jen; brand system by JCL Development.

A Corner with a Century of Stories

Once home to the stately Victorian Strawbridge mansion (c. 1870–80), this southwest corner has cycled from mansion → apartments → diners → offices → café—mirroring Sharon’s own evolution.

c. 1920s: An old streetcar placed on the corner served diners known as Dunkirk Diner and Ramsey’s Diner.
Late 1960s: The mansion was replaced by Petrini Insurance offices.
Recent era: Lulu Beans Café brought patio vibes, a liquor license, and a central role in downtown’s cultural revival—helping anchor events and everyday foot traffic.
