  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
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 extremely slow. Didn’t serve all meals together. Two of us were done eating before the other two got their food. Drinks very weak. Not a good experience at all.

    We were greeted with a person that seemed to be disturbed that we were there. No hello no smile,very unwelcoming. Our server was busy waiting tables and making drinks behind the bar. The food was very good a usual.

    I sent 4 college students visiting for Spring Break to Flavio's to spare me from cooking one night. They came back raving about the food, their waiter, and overall experience! I couldn't have been happier, and so were they! My husband and I will now have to make a reservation to experience for ourselves!

    We've been several times. Food generally good. However, we won't frequent establishments that charge for ice. Now we know.

    We were seated “downstairs” - not much ambience. We waited at least 20 and then had to track someone down to wait on us. Probably short on staff and restaurant was very busy. After we got their attention the service improved. Some of us enjoyed our dinner and others thought it was only fair.

    Great food and atmosphere! Slightly disappointed because we informed the staff that it was our friends’ birthday and asked if they do anything special for that— they originally told us yes, but nothing special was done for her birthday. Other than that, it was a great dining experience with great food.
