    We had a group of 9 here for a birthday party. They seemed extremely understaffed and we had to keep trying to get our waitress’s attention for drinks/more food. The food was incredible, we just felt so guilty about how many tables our waitress was juggling. Additionally, though I confirmed multiple times that day they still had the wrong number of individuals for our party. A good spot for happy hour or just food at the bar. Perhaps just a busy night - but hopefully they staff up so there is not so much pressure on one waitress.

    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.
