We loved this place when it was in Santa Rosa. We have gone a couple times to try them since in Sebastopol and they are not open (even though their hours show they are). I've tried calling ahead but they don't answer their phone and there is no voicemail setup. I'd really like to try them again, but it seems to be quite difficult.

My family go here for special occasions, and it is the perfect place to do so. Great food, great service which means happy customer.
It's impossible to have a bad meal or experience at Flavor ! We had a large party of 8 and never once felt rushed or neglected. Food was amazing and it was a birthday celebration- they came out with dessert and singing. Such great staff, food and ambience!

My favorites are the Gnocchi Bolognese, Salmon special and the Molly's chicken. Although last time I got the chicken, it was way too salty.Wait times here are VERY long so make sure to plan to be there for a couple of hours. If you are okay with a leisurely long meal, then this is the place for you. There's one staff member who is pretty friendly, but the waiters we've had the last couple times were short and to the point. Didn't even offer up the evenings' specials.Usually I love to get their grape juice from Navarro Wines, but they did not have it last time we were there. They do have several great non-alcoholic drinks for those who don't drink.
Kid-friendliness: They have a great kids menu. My 11 yr old daughter's favorite is the salmon and mashed potatoes. It's a great portion size for her.

We visited on a Tuesday night but we were surprised at how few people there were. We were seated immediately outside.The service was excellent. The staff anticipate needs like turning on the outdoor fireplace and came at just the right time for our order and the check. My one complaint was the fact that my tiny water glass was almost always empty.The food was exceptional. The gnocchi was perfect in its pullow-like consistency. The pot pie was excellent although a bit runny (I recommend using the crust to soak up the liquid).One down side to this restaurant is the complete lack of parking. The place was empty and we still had to park quite a distance away.

This is an amazing,ing restaurant. The food is superb and in the world of service, this place rises above. We went on a busy Saturday night at prime time. They don't take reservations but gave us a glass of wine and bread while we waited. Who does that? Wow. The host was so personable and kept us updated on our wait. He even explained about the wine he served us. I didn't get that much explanation from wineries I have visited, and I'm a local! All in all, Flavor is well worth the drive from Santa Rosa!

Love, love, love this restaurant! We used to go when it was located in Santa Rosa and were overjoyed when it re-opened in its new location in Sebastopol. The chef/owner, a truly lovely man, greeted us at the door with "Welcome back home!" and it did feel like homecoming to us. We both had seafood pasta special and it was plentiful, delicious and beautiful. Chocolate torte for dessert was plate-licking good. The warm, unpretentious and friendly atmosphere made our evening perfect. We are definitely coming back!

Good sized portions and friendly staff. They don't take reservations so as we left we did see a few groups waiting for a table. The food is great. They range from appetizers like hummus and chicken wings to hand made pastas and pork chops. Great choice of dishes and a very comprehensive wine
One of my favorite restaurants in Sonoma County. Consistently delicious food, such nice staff and cozy atmosphere. Have loved Flavor since the Santa Rosa Square days!

We are so thankful this place was open for us to grab dinner. It is the best Italian we’ve ever had and you can tell everything is handmade with care. The pear bruschetta is such a fun twist on bruschetta. The boscaiola was delicious with that slow cooked meat sauce over homemade noodles. And the gnocchi- I never understood tv cooking shows talking about pillowy gnocchi until tonight. Definitely coming back next time I’m in town.

Very good classic Italian style restaurant. The once was bustling on the Saturday night we came in indoors and out but the wait was less that 5 mins for a table for 2. The Salad Lyonnaise (bistro salad) was very good and was nice to see on a menu after having it in years. For drinks we got a granache and a death and taxes, wines prices seems average but tap prices for beers at $9 was a little high. For entrees we ordered the gnocchi with marscapone cheese (didn't look appealing but tasted great) and the prawn salad, great portion sizes on both and the prawns ? we're huge! Great portion size to enjoy with the whole pasta dish. Service was a bit slow on ordering drinks and getting water replenishment. Getting the check took forever, about 20 mins after getting offered dessert 3 separate times and declining each. All and all, great place, low key, will definitely come back. - oh and parking sucks, it's only street parking and you may have to walk a few blocks to dine here.

Wonderful neighborhood eatery just outside of downtown Sebastopol. Attentive service. Reasonably priced. We were there for pasta, and they did not disappoint! Indoor and outdoor seating.

This place is such a gem. The food was delicious, all four of us ordered different things and were very satisfied. The owner was extremely friendly and expressed gratitude to us for our patronage. The outside area was nice and warm. Very nice ambiance with affordable pricing. Would be a nice date spot.
