  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
Our casual restaurant has a retro contemporary theme which includes a carved wood bar topped with marble, granite table tops and bright turquoise and red accents flanking the wood-burning brick oven. Terrace seating is shared with our fine dining concept Bella Roma.

Flavio, a third-generation chef from Venice, Italy, says his Farinata is not available anywhere else in the area. The thin pancake (much like a tortilla) is made of chickpeas, baked in the wood-burning oven and enhanced with rosemary and other savory toppings.

Among Flavio's thin-crust pizzas (his grandfather's recipes) are the popular Quattro Stagioni (fresh mozzarella, mushrooms, prosciutto, olives) and the Pizza Vegetariana with assorted grilled veggies. The rustic bread and focaccia are made on the premises. Flavio's also serves up house-made pasta dishes, plus veal and seafood entrees.

We look forward to serving you!

    Love Flaviois! Our server was great. Very attentive and helpful with the menu. The food was all delicious. But the time we received our entrees was over an hour, after we ordered. The kitchen I guess, was struggling to get the food out. Overall it was a nice evening.

    Good food basically. We had chicken Alfredo and taste was excellent. Sort of noisy inside but we could have opted for outside. Service was ok but we were never asked if the meal was satisfactory. I am on RX so couldn’t have alcohol and after that the waitress seemed to lose interest. 😊

    First time at this restaurant. It was unbelievably busy. But all in all a very pleasant experience. Food fantastic. My husband had a seafood risotto which he enjoyed immensely. I ordered a special of lobster ravioli. Very nice we shared a fritto Misti with zucchini calamari and shrimp done to perfection

    The food is good but it is just too over-priced for what you get. Two people $228 before tip and we only had 2 drinks and split dessert.
