Since we told the waitress that we weren't drinking wine his mood changed. The first time we went with our parents the server explain really nicely the menu. This time the server just put the board in front of us and said choose what you want. No explanation. My wife and I were disappointed because the table next to us with the same waitress got a very different experience. The waitress explained each dish very nicely. But because we were young and didn't have a wine. We got a different type of service. The food was great but we got out disappointed that we were treated that way. I am writing this because I do not want this to happen to a young couple that is going for a special occasion and they are treated this way.

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

Overall nice visit though and I would still tell others to check Flavio's out!

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!
