Flavio's Brick Oven Siesta Key

I'm a huge fan of Flavios but ordered delivery and it wasn't the same. Highly recommend dining at the restaurant.

Fantastic Italian restaurant, hands down...From the food, to the ambiance, to the service (especially the service), this was a fantastic experience. The place itself is upscale and fancy (as I like to say). Fabric table cloths and beautiful decor open up to an airy locale that is truly welcoming. The service was what sticks with me. We had a waitress (I wish I could remember her name) who truly loved what she was doing it was such a joy to be served by her. The big plus on top of it all was that she was chatty (like I like 'em) and loved to talk to us which just added to the overall enjoyable experience. Now, onto the food...Spectacular in one word. My wife had a plate with penne and shrimp and I had fettuccini with braised ribs both were, well, spectacular. It was something I would go back just to have again. We ate early, so maybe some of our experience had to do with that, but who really cares? I 've eaten early at other places over the years and have not had the fantastic experience I had here. When we return, which we will, I will not hesitate returning a great place for an Italian meal.

Flavios was fabulous. 6 of us sat outside and got an added bonus with live music across the street. All 6 dishes were to perfection and so very delicious. However what made our time here so special was our waiter Paolo! He offered advice about food selections and answered any questions we had. He made our night very special!
