Lava, located at 4916 Arthur Kill Road in the Charleston neighborhood of Staten Island, recently announced its closure. Known for its striking facade with large windows and black awnings, Lava was a popular spot for those seeking a mix of Italian and Spanish flavors.
One of the standout dishes at Lava was the grilled shrimp. Served with a garnish of fresh herbs and a drizzle of oil, this dish was a favorite among regulars. A slice of bread on the side made it a satisfying choice for many.
Lava offered a "Special Chef Testing Menu Family Style," which included unique dishes like Strawberry Salad, Jalea, and Empanada de Tinga. This menu was perfect for those who wanted to explore a variety of flavors in one sitting.
The restaurant also featured a specials menu with items such as Red Fruit Ceviche and Boquerón. For those who preferred something lighter, options like Baby Kale Caesar and Pumpkin Soup were available.
Tapas and Raw Bar offerings were a highlight at Lava, featuring items like Tacos de Tuna and East Coast Oysters. Guests could also enjoy Charcuterie & Cheese boards, providing a robust selection for any palate.
The closing of Lava marks the end of a beloved establishment in the Charleston community. While it may no longer serve patrons, its legacy of bringing diverse flavors to Staten Island will be remembered fondly.
