After nearly 15 years, Flour restaurant (34205 Chagrin Blvd., 216-464-3700) in Moreland Hills will be branching out. Owner Matt Mytro — and partners Paul and Lisa Minnillo — have announced plans to open a second location in Brecksville, specifically in the new mixed-use living community Valor Acres. Mytro will join his colleague Dante Boccuzzi, who will open a new Japanese restaurant called Masu there sometime this summer. Flour is on pace to open in fall.
“We're thrilled to bring our passion for exceptional dining and genuine hospitality to Brecksville with our new location at Valor Acres,” Mytro says. “At Flour Moreland Hills, we've dedicated ourselves to building a restaurant where both guests and staff feel at home, and we're eager to extend that same warm experience to the Brecksville community. We love the vibrant spirit here and are excited to grow alongside Valor as it blossoms.”

When it opens later this year, Flour at Valor Acres will bring the same chef-driven Italian fare that has made it a success since chef Minnillo opened the restaurant in 2011. In addition to Flour’s handmade pastas, wood-fired pizzas and seasonal features, the Brecksville spot will offer dishes available nowhere else.
Diners can expect a stellar wine list, cocktail program and N/A beverage selection. A patio will feature both dining and lounge areas for guests to unwind alfresco.
Mytro, who lives with his family just a few miles north in Seven Hills, says that the Brecksville community offered a promising opportunity for him to expand the brand.
“Brecksville’s dining scene is vibrant but not oversaturated, which gives us a chance to create something exciting and lasting," he explains. "Valor Acres, especially, felt like the perfect fit — it’s a well-planned, energetic development that connects residential neighborhoods with a growing business and hospitality community.”
