    Two slices, pepperoni and jalapeno.
    Neil B.

    Last weekend (10/13) the wife and I went on our monthly get-a-way and decided on Siesta Key, have not been there in a while and lot has changed. We stayed at the only hotel on the island and that place has changed as well. It now has a bar and a food truck that parks on the side, didn't eat there but thought it was convenient nun-the less. After an afternoon of walking the strip and day drinking it was time for some pie. After checking in on some of the pizza joints, none of which served slices, we found this place on one of the side streets. It really needs to be on the strip and exposed. It was late in the evening and was surprised by the selection. Decided on pepperoni and jalapeno slices. The slices were thin and crispy, good cheese and sauce. The place has plenty of seating inside and out. Next time when we're down that way I will have to get in there early in the day and try a sandwich. All in all, if your looking for a slice and not a whole pie, this is the place. Give it try and see what you think, peace.

    Not too impressed As soon as you walk in there is a display case of pizzas for pizza by the slice. They looked like they had been there a long time. My thought of having pizza slipped away. Maybe if you warmed them up and saw them under better lighting they would be more appealing. Lot of the reviews for their pizza rate them high, so maybe if they were busier with customers and more pizza turnover my first impression would have been different. Instead of pizza my wife and I had sandwiches, mine their Italian Sub. It was good, soft bread, good size, but minimal ingredients. Nothing to write home about but here I am writing about it. It looks like they only offer one size pizza, quite large, one of the other reviews says 18". I can't say I was impressed with the place. It was kind noisy inside, not customer noise but fan noise, equipment noise, music beat noise. They have a few tables inside and a couple more outside, including a picnic table. That would have been a better choice. I thought the place was kind of a dive, tables that needed to be wiped off, grey concrete floor, some old photos, nothing looked clean or new except the drink coolers that lined much of the wall. One last thing, I noticed after I got home, I was charged a convenience fee of 3.99%. Was this because I used a credit card? I don't know, I didn't notice any sign and there is nothing about it on their paper menu I took home. Also nothing on their website. I would have paid cash if it was a credit card service fee, had I known. I'm not talking big money here, but if I'm earning 1% rewards on my card and you are charging me 4%, I actually want to know. And I blame the restaurant if I don't.

    I came here based on reading the reviews and it's in a good location in downtown Siesta Key. I ordered the full Greek Salad which is very reasonably priced at $9. They didn't know if the dressing was gluten free so I didn't have it but otherwise the salad was delicious. My grandparents loved their salads as well. The staff is friendly, service is fast, and there is seating inside and outside.

    Read a bunch of reviews for pizza joints on Siesta Key, and they were all over the place when it came to who had consistently good pie. This place didn't have many reviews, but the handful of positive reviews were convincing. I ordered for carry out, it was ready right when I arrived, just coming out of the oven, and it looked amazing. The staff was friendly and engaging, despite being extremely busy. Salads are fresh with plenty of quality toppings and dressing. They have a different take on bruschetta, I didn't care for it, but my wife and daughters did. The pies are big-18", wedge cut, 8 slices. Great crust, thin but not to thin and they crisp them up. I meant to ask for well done, but always forget. It's like they read my mind. Had the Hawaiian BBQ Chicken pie. Really good flavor. Also got a Sicilian Meat pizza, incredible!!!! Thicker crust, 2 actually, in rectangular shape, great toppings, great sauce, I ate too much. I had good luck, and usually I've got the luck of the Irish which is none at all. I highly recommend trying this place. They even do by the slice and have carry out alcohol!!!

    Pepperoni and Mushroom Large Pie - really crispy thin crust - my family and I loved it!

    The sauce was so bland, it almost tasted watered down. It could have been cooked a bit longer. The crust was not quite done.

The food was good, a variety of Italian dishes from caprese salad, pastas, and pizza! We tried a little bit of everything.

Siesta key when it is very busy can accommodate a lot of people in this restaurant certainly the last time we were here was very busy and we had a great experience but this time we went during the off-season and we were able to walk right in and sit at the bar. The house we rented came at the golf cart so we drove that and the valet didn't even want to park it he said just put it here LOL My wife and I split a bottle of wine and also a caesar salad. They do bring out some bread but I didn't want to fill up on bread. As you can see in the photos I did get a pasta bolognese it is very easy to screw this up but it's also a standard that restaurant should be able to replicate with ease and this was fantastic. My wife got the lobster ravioli maybe her eyes were bigger than her stomach but she was not able to finish this masterpiece. I took a moment to enjoy the sunset from their front door of flavio's my daughter corrected me and telling me that this was golden hour and it truly was golden with my hunger satiated two glasses of wine and me and a beautiful evening flavio's certainly delivered and of course we will return!

The kitchen is small, Leonardo the only chef. Be patient and settle in Language - make believe you are not in the USA. Marcia is from Brazil and speaks fluent Portuguese, passable Spanish and a little Italian. English, not so much. Take your time here and enjoy your time with her - she's delightful and the work to communicate is part of the fun! Alcohol = Wine - the wine list is 100% Italian and offers a great range of flavors and price points. Explore! Fresh bread and a marinated eggplant "spaghetti" are table greeters. The Veal Parmigiana was outstanding! The raviolis were fresh and tasty but my only criticism is they could have used more of the billed ingredient (truffles, eggplant) The desserts- OMG - Marcia makes the lemon cake herself. It was amazing. The Tiramisu was probably one of the best ever. We chatted with them, another patron and left happy, full and ready for a nap! Ciao!

First of all, the place smells like moth balls as soon as you walk in. The service is slow, and the complimentary focaccia bread they give you is cut into such tiny pieces that seem to be toasted, so it was almost like eating croutons (ew). The menu is very limited; just for the pasta dishes, they only offer 3 different shapes of pasta, and if you're vegetarian, you can eliminate half the menu. But the WORST part was the SINGING. Yes, they gave a MICROPHONE to a drunk lady who sang "Sweet Caroline" (quite badly, I might add), and then the staff members started singing "That's Amore" and walked around the restaurant shoving the microphone in front of ALL of our faces insisting that we sing. We went there for dinner, not karaoke! The music/singing was so loud that we could not even talk to our friends, who we were hoping to catch up with since we hadn't seen them in months. Seriously, the only thing good about our experience was the wine, and you can get good wine almost anywhere. Not even CLOSE to the 5-star experience everyone else claims to have had.
