  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • 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!

    We love Flavios. This time I ordered something I never had before and was a little disappointed. Didn't complain. We ate outside on the balcony and music from scythe street was overpowering. I don't remember their music being quite so loud. Wouldn't hesitate to go back. Great restaurant.

    Cute, rustic, old Italian vibes! Yummy drinks, we got the holy pear martini and it was absolutely delicious. The fried mozzarella was AMAZING! However, the Pizza is very mid. Floppy pizza, toppings fell right off when you picked up a piece. We also had the beef short rib pasta, it was delicious.

    Our dinner was delicious beginning with our appetizers to dessert. All staff were extremely polite especially our waiter, Andy. He took his time taking our order, answering all of our questions and ensuring we dinner experience was wonderful.

    One of our favorite places on Siesta Key! My husband is Italian and loves their food. If you sit in dining room noise level low. If you like the bar vibe and noise sit in bar area. Service is fantastic 😊
