India and Wendy were incredibly helpful in making the evening so special. They were flexible as we planned our menu, made sure we had Coronas on hand for our guests, helped us set up a running slideshow, and coordinated our musician’s setup.
The entire team was so friendly and accommodating, and we loved the food and the atmosphere. It was the perfect way to spend the night before our wedding celebrating with our friends and family.
Their famous Nonnas meatballs, the garlic bread with the truffle butter in the Housemade giardinara, the Parmesan chicken, the Wagyu fillet – all DELICIOUS! And the desserts? Just wow! They have a new banana tart dessert that is light but lovely if you are a fan of banana pudding and the chocolate cake? I can see why people just come in for a slice of it! It’s so rich, moist and one slice is just not enough!
They have a great wine list and if you ask they are more than happy to recommend a good pairing for your meal.
If you are going for CHICAGO RESTAURANT WEEK – They have a four course meal for $60 which comes with an optional beverage pairing for $39! And their portions for restaurant week are still BIG! I loveeedddd that! The beverage pairing is also very well put together and you get a couple of options for each pairing.
And ask for Louis to be your server! He’s the best!
Really liked the octopus and the free bread but we weren’t wowed by any of the entrees. Brussels sprouts were really good.
For such a pricey meal I expected a better free dessert especially from an Italian spot. There’s definitely better options out there for both Italian and Steak.
Overall, the food was good and service was nice. We tried the dinner menu for restaurant week.
I came back to the venue in less than a month to finalize the menu and other details. I met with India and Wendy P, the event manager. They were both fantastic. They listened to what I wanted the for the event, and they also offered great recommendations.
They charge a fee if guests want to bring in their own cake. You can either pay the fee or order a custom made cake from their pastry chef. I opted to send pictures of the cake design I want. Wendy confirmed with me that their pastry chef can create my request. The price was very reasonable too.
The service that we received during the event itself was excellent. I liked the personalized menu for each guest. During dinner, Wendy came by to make sure that everything was going well for us. The designated server for our event, along with the rest of the staff, were all efficient and great.
The food was delicious. We had the family style dinner which included:
Starters: PROSCIUTTO TOAST, NONNA’S MEATBALLS, GEM LETTUCE SALAD
Entrees: CLASSIC CANESTRI, CHICKEN PARMESAN, PORK CHOP
Sides: CRISPY POTATOES, WOOD GRILLED BROCCOLINI
Desserts: CHOCOLATE CAKE, VANILLA GELATO
The chocolate cake from the pastry chef was amazing. It was not just beautiful, but it was moist and had the perfect sweetness.
Thank you to India, Wendy, and the rest of the staff of Formento’s in making this event special for my family and I. It was a happy and unforgettable evening.
