Pasta Flavio: where it's not all about the Flavor, for better or worse…read more To be fair, this order was takeout, so the judgment is mainly on the food, and nothing for the ambiance. Service was on time, order was done correctly... we _think_. To be clear: * Don't rely on the menu descriptions. The alfredo sauce, for example, is not the creamy texture you're used to. It's cheesy bits in oil. Not bad, but not what I was expecting. And "truffles" were invisible - just the oil, not shreds of mushroom. * Compared to my favorite local establishment, The Pasta Shop in Denville, the pasta is a noticeable step lower in texture. There are fewer varieties of pasta here than the Shop, but on the other hand, much more customizable plates. The Pasta Shop is set up where you can order from their standard menu or their daily specials, withhold an item if you're allergic. Here at Flavio, you can choose your meat(s), sauce(s), toppings (up to 7, and then I imagine you can choose more at a cost). And you get a lot of meat - my chicken was hidden in the photo, but stirring turned it all up. And it wasn't too salty, and nicely grilled. But the other toppings, you get less. My arrabiata pepper was shredded in very sparse amounts. Struggled to find other veggies. Only a few garlic cloves, tho nicely roasted. Verdict? Will sacrifice quantity (of what can be ordered) for quality and stick with The Pasta Shop.

My wife had the zucchini flowers and I had the arugula with shaved pears for appetizers. The zucchini flowers were delicious. My salad was good but it needed much more dressing. 90% of the leaves were dry. For mains my wife had the bronzino and I had the squid ink pasta with seafood. It had squid,octopus, shrimp, & crab. *sigh* I don't think the water my pasta was cooked in had any salt. For me that makes the pasta inedible. I was VERY disappointed. I don't know how a Sicilian cook can make that mistake. Little or no salt on any of the seafood either. For dessert I had a cannoli and my wife had the ricotta cheesecake. Both were delicious. Especially the cannoi! We brought home an order of the gnocchi with mushrooms and asparagus. My daughter loved it! I tried some and agree. It was delicious! We'll definitely come back. Hopefully next time they'll remember to salt the pasta water.

Sensible portions fit perfectly executed appetizers. Pasta courses and mains that have every detail executed well--fresh fish and meat, cooked to order. No microwave. Authenticity to every item on the menu. No trendy dishes. The Branzino is the best ever. The pappardelle with mushrooms was fresh pasta and a plethora of mushrooms in a rich and creamy sauce The cannoli she'll? Fresh and crisp, and the cream, not too sweet. A great meal.

Upon entrance, we were pretty surprised by the lovely Valentine's Day decor for the pop up restaurant. It was a set menu for $70 that included starts with a glass of champagne, appetizer, entrée and dessert. We ordered the seafood salad, calamari, lamb chops, filet mignon, chocolate moose and red velvet cake. Everything was super delicious and very fresh tasting, We had bread brought to our table with olive oil.

We arrived at about 530 on Sunday and it was not crowded at all. There were maybe 4 to 6 other people in the entire restaurant. The entire weight staff was standing at the bar watching soccer on TV, mind you this is never OK in any location, but this restaurant is a 'Fancy wannabe' place. The servers were very aggressive and taking our order, even though it wasn't busy in there. We just wanted to sit and sit our wine for a few minutes. I got their Ortechiatte pasta dish and my partner got the chicken Parm. This pasta dish was just floating and oil no flavor whatsoever. My friend said the chicken Parm was OK. We spent before tip, $80 for two entrées and two glasses of house wine, ridiculous. Food wasn't great and the service wasn't great and the whole experience was unfortunate. There's so many great Italian restaurants in the immediate area. I would certainly not recommend this to be one of your choices
