SILVER LAKE — The owners of the new Silver Spoon Gastropub & Pizzeria hope to breathe some life into downtown Silver Lake by anchoring the business district with a flagship restaurant.

“We wanted to bring the people and the energy back,” said co-owner Ken Naselius, who some may recognize as the man in the fedora-style chef’s hat who once worked at the Village Pub on Cogswell Drive.

If the most recent “Cantina Night” crowd is any indication, people are hungry for more options.

“We flipped the dining room four times,” said co-owner David Allen Staral, who approached Naselius with the idea of ​​opening the restaurant.

Davis hopes a successful business might be enough to convince others to start a new business and reinvest in the area.

The new gastropub is located at 101 S. Second St., in a former bank building that for more than 30 years was the Taste of Italy restaurant. David said he started negotiating with the previous owners last July. Customers will be delighted to know that the deal they made included the Taste of Italy pizza dough recipe.

It was Ken’s wife, Barbara Naselius, also a partner, who coined the name Silver Spoon Gastropub & Pizzeria.

“We all said right away, ‘This fits perfectly,'” Ken said. “It pays homage to the white tablecloths that have been used here forever and it pays homage to Silver Lake.”

The “signature table setting” also includes a silver spoon and supper-club style folded cloth napkins. Patrons receive free bites of pizza dough and a roasted garlic and parmesan “spoon dip” in keeping with the upscale comfort food atmosphere of a gastro pub.

Ice cream, confectionery in project

In April, the partners will also open Silver Spoon Ice Cream and Sweets in a storefront across the street. It will include Schoppe chocolate ice cream, homemade candies, freshly baked cookies and other treats.

In addition to their regular menu, the restaurant hosts special multi-course dinner specials, for which limited-seat tickets are sold. For example, there will be a tequila tasting and wine pairing event on March 9.

They offer brunch, lunch, and dinner on Saturday and Sunday, when they are open from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. They are open from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Ken said people are very surprised to hear that everything is made from scratch using food from local suppliers and is fresh every day. In addition to making all the sauces and dressings, Ken, a former butcher, cuts his own USDA meats and makes his own chorizo ​​and andouille sausages. The brunch also offers freshly baked cinnamon rolls and made-to-order frittatas and omelettes.

Tradition and variety

“You can have a solid, small menu and still be able to do just about anything you want for your specials,” Ken said.

David said locals want variety. To meet this demand, they are offering some of the same iconic Italian dishes that Taste of Italy customers have been waiting for after the restaurant closed, but are also mixing things up. For example, there’s a breakfast burger topped with peanut butter, bacon, and a fried egg.

“We want to find that balance for those who still want traditional Italian food and those who want new, fresh dishes,” David said.

Ken said he often asks customers for feedback on new dishes.

“If I’m working on something, I’ll just pull it out and say, ‘Try this,'” he said. “That feedback is part of what I use to qualify that it has that ‘wow’ factor that I’m looking for.”
