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 tastes were very authentic and the portions generous. The service could be a bit more attentive. Our waiter appeared to have less experience.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! For us, it was the EXCEPTIONAL l service starting from the Hostess who took us to our seat all the way to meeting the manager, servers and our main server. They were friendly, professional, patient and sooooo accommodating. The brussel sprouts were TO DIE FOR and all the food was delicious. They catered to our every need...we felt pampered and so well taken care of, and will definitely visit again.
