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!

    Chef Emilio is a genius. All the menu items are delicious, but sometimes he comes up with a special creation that is beyond! Last night it was a gorgonzola "tiramisu" with some kind of fruit as an appetizer. It was amazing. Great wine list. Lovely staff. Always a good experience.

    We had two great dining experiences here this week. Only thing we would remotely complain about was how long it took to get the main course on the 2nd. The food and service were spot on!
