Notably praised for its gnocchi, the restaurant provides diverse gluten-free options. As a BYOB venue, it allows guests to tailor their dining experience. While some find pricing high, the "authentic Italian" flavors consistently impress.

We also had the cacio e pepe spaghetti and pasta amatriciana, delicious. We ended with the ethereal pistachio and ricotta cake, sublime.

The gnocchi were homemade and the rigatoni with shrimp and mushrooms were both excellent!! Our server was very knowledgeable and very helpful since it was our first time trying to pick out our meals. I highly recommend Flavias

We were a party of 8, it was our first visit and it was a busy night at the restaurant.Staff were terrific, friendly, accommodating and the food and service were all excellent A little pricey, but fresh high quality food and ingredients.We tried some apps & salads and half of us had a pasta entree, half tried non pasta entree specials and everyone enjoyed and brought home leftovers. Except for the noise level of a crowded restaurant I could have given an all 5 stars rating. Overall a very nice spot, give it a try.

It was our 47th wedding anniversary and the total evening was excellent from Greeting to Dessert. Our server was Adriana and we could not ask for a nicer and more knowledgeable server. We enjoyed Fried Artichoke Hearts and Bruschetta, both delicious and uniquely done. For entrees; Special Zononna Sauce over Taglietta, Chicken Milaneses, Rigatoni with Mushrooms and Shrimp and Chicken Picatta. Only one dessert; Affogato!! The portions, taste and portions were very good. This is BYOB so we did!! We will go back in the near future. Make a reservation, especially for Saturday as the restaurant was very busy!! We give it our best rating of Two Thumbs Up.

We also had the decaf cappuccino with tiramisu and pistachio cake …fantastic. They serve local New Jersey wine from Bellevue wineries and that was really good to my surprise.. the Pinot Grigio was light and finished crisp. And the red wine was close to a Cabernet also very good. I would highly recommend this place. are two servers were excellent. Those ladies knew their stuff. we really enjoyed sitting out on the street in the atmosphere was perfect. A beautiful New Jersey evening.
