  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
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!

    Food and service were excellent. My wife enjoyed the veal and I had lasagna. We paired our dinner with a nice bottle of Montepulicano d’Abruzzo. I would dine here again.

    We wanted to sit outside and it was slightly chilly, the staff went out of their way to find full propane tanks so we could be comfortable. As always the pizza and pasta we ordered was superb!! Happy to support our local Siesta Key restaurants.

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