• Italian • Siesta Key

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!

    We had a Saturday reservation later in the evening- after 8:30. The restaurant was pretty uncrowded although some diners did arrive after us. Staff was friendly and attentive. Our cocktails were perfect- as usual- they have really excellent bartenders here! Enjoyed the beef carpaccio as a starter-we’ve had it here before and it is consistently good. One pasta entree (all pastas are made in-house) and one fish entree special (unique with turbot, shrimp, crabmeat wrapped in prosciutto) thoroughly enjoyed. Ended the meal with shared chocolate cake- yummy! The menu seems to have paired down a lot since we first began dining here but still lots of great choices in all categories. Our server Marco was terrific and we loved the playlist cranking in the background. We have been to Flavios many times in the last 5 years and always make a reservation. We find it most chill in seasonal “down” months. Will definitely be back!
