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!

    The wine selection was fabulous! Also thankful that the ingredients are imported from Italy. My meal was delicious and everyone else at the table enjoyed their dishes. Their desserts are just as scrumptious as the ones I had in Italy! Will definitely be back.

    I love Baker and Wife especially when sitting at the bar. I watch the bartender create the drinks, It's like a fantastic show. The cocktails are excellent, and chilled to perfection. The food is delicious, I had the SPICY THAI RED CURRY SEAFOOD & LINGUINE, perfectly spiced. Great staff. Make a reservation for table or bar.
