I visited from out of town for my birthday with a group of approx. 10 ppl. The vibe was energetic and lively. The server just should have advised there was an extra fee to the bottomless Mimosas for Dine & Dance dinner. When you ask would you rather the glass of wine OR Mimosas it's assumed it's the same cost. No issues with me but for some it might be.

It was our first time eating at Flavio. We had a family birthday gathering. The food was delicious and the decorum was excellent. Our server - Danny- was the absolute best. He made sure to learn our names and was always friendly and attentive to anything we needed. I recommend this restaurant if you like Italian or want a nice place with a casual ambiance to relax and have a drink.
