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!

    Server was wonderful but nothing could overcome the terrible cook of the fish. Way overdone, terrible texture and flavor.

    Excellent dining experience from moment we arrived. We were given several seating options which was much appreciated. Our server, Andy was friendly, attentive and casual. First time ordering pizza, and didn’t disappoint. Will definitely order again. Also had the gnocchi in meat sauce, which were soft, light and delicious.

    Excellent service and the food was outstanding. The appetizers and pasta dishes were delicious. The pizza was as good as any I have had in Naples Italy. All in all a great dining experience

    The food was ok but nothing great. The menu that was printed was confusing. Our waiter was attentive but lacked a personality.

    We had a wonderful evening for our first visit to Flavios. The pizza tasted great. Their bruschetta was good and the service provided by Andrew was fantastic. Definitely recommend this place.
