La Ginestra is a family affair. Sal and Maria Aversa opened in downtown Mill Valley in 1964, serving authentic Italian cuisine inspired by Naples and their hometown of Sorrento. Maria, the matriarch of the homey neighborhood spot who came to work everyday even at the age of 91, recently passed away in December 2023. The second and third generations of the Aversa family are still running the restaurant carrying on Sal and Maria's traditions, doling out some of the best ravioli around, luscious handmade pastas, and bright Mediterranean plates, along with a full service bar.
