Flavio's Brick Oven Bar
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!

"Saw the waiter three times. Once when he took our drink order, the second time to bring drinks and take food order. Someone else brought our food to the table. We never saw the waiter again until we had to find someone to tell him we wanted our check. He delivered our check and was never seen again. The entire dining experience was like eating in fast food joint. Here is your food, eat it and get out. Of the four entrees, three were so salty, they were barely touched. I spend six weeks on Siesta Key every year on vacation and have dined there many times. This year the name has changed and so has the service and food quality. They have seen the last of me until I hear that it has improved."

"Wonderful experience. Would highly recommend. Visiying from Boulder Colorado where we are considered a "real foodie town" Flavio would fit right in."
