Been here a few times now…read more In this area there is a plentitude of good Italian restaurants but this has to be among the best. As the name implies, its small. On a Saturday can be a bit tight, but it doesn't take away from the experience. The food is really outstanding. The spaghetti and meatballs is maybe the best around here. The chicken piccata is the best. Their apps - shrimp with beans, crab cakes all really good. The front of house is really very good too even when busy. And though I'm not a desert person, they have a coffee Gelato that is unbelievable. With all the choices for great Italian in this area this ranks in the top 3. Seriously that good.

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.

We ordered the seafood salad, calamari, lamb chops, filet mignon, chocolate moose and red velvet cake.

She was friendly, but professional and knew the menu well. However, other times the service has been very short. The food is good! We really enjoyed the arancini in the cacio e pepe sauce. Absolutely delicious. The campanelle vodka is amazing too. The sauce is delicious and the pasta is perfect for the sauce. My mom got the house-made cavatelli which was more soup like and she didn't love it. Just personal preference here. We both enjoyed the cheesecake! We loved that they give pizza bread before the meal. We don't love that they only do slices of pizza for lunch if you want to dine-in. Their slices are $5.00 and in my humble opinion, not the best. My mom loved their pepperoni. I had their white and grandma. White was disappointing, grandma was decent, but nothing to write home about. In my review, I would have overlooked some things to give them five stars, but the service is really a mixed bag. One of the servers mansplained what a Sicilian slice was to me. Overall, would recommend but ask for Angela.
