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.
