Formento's - Chicago

Food was exquisite. I?m really not an Italian good person so I would say it?s hard to find a place that I actually would recommend or come again. But Formento?s had AMAZING food and drinks. It was so yummy, and the ambiance was amazing. I would havegave it a 5/5 but they wouldn?t allow my service dog to come in so I had to find a last minute babysitter. I have never had arestaurant turn me away for having a service dog, with forms in hand. This was the first.

Beautiful up-scale Italian restaurant! Perfect for a date night or anniversary celebration, etc. The food was unique and fantastic! Definitely on the pricey side but I would say that it was worth it. Tried octopus for the first time and I wasdefinitely not disappointed!

Food was really tasty! We ordered corn bruschetta which was served with shaved truffle nice and cheesy. Loved the orecchiette pasta it was superb, chocolate cake was good too. Focaccia bread was fresh and warm, and everything was really fresh made ittasty Wine was decently priced has outdoor patio seating as well. Service could have been better so 4 star. Perfect place tohave dinner at patio or with friends.

First time here tonight and it was wonderful. Great atmosphere and service was wonderful. Dani, our server, and her partner were a dynamic duo and took care of us. Let me start off by saying that I have a gluten allergy and am also dairy free, so normallyan Italian restaurant is not my first pick of choice. But, they walked through the details of both and Dani guided me to what Icould and couldn't eat. They had gluten free bread, and the pasta was hands down the best gluten free pasta I've had in the 7years of being gluten free. The blood orange sorbet was also amazing. They took care of me and my dietary needs, and for this,I will certainly be back!

Early dinner starting at 6pm wasn't busy/crowded at all. Sat outside where there was more tables available outside than I would've expected and spaced well. Great spot for people watching as well as there are so many characters walking by! Servicewas spot on from the get go as our server was extremely friendly having us laugh along with her. Gave good recommendations whenwe had questions and checked on us without going overboard. Felt like we had ordered the entire menu as we got a nice range ofdishes. Started off right as they brought out black pepper focaccia with olive oil to wet our whistle. For an appetizer, Oysterswere tasty (east coast tasted smoother and would recommend those). Definitely get the burrata and heirloom tomatoes as well asgrandma's meatballs. Tiger prawns were the only meh dish as they were a bit mushy in texture and so so flavor. All pastas weregreat, but the carbonara nailed it with the crispy pork bits. Chicken parm was succulent as was the skirt steak. Tiramisu wasexcellent, but the chocolate cake took the... Well, took the cake. Moist, succulent, right amount of sweetness... We orderedanother to go. Must come back!
