I loved the cozy and quiet atmosphere at this restaurant. Plenty of space and quiet enough where you can talk to your party.
The food was more forgettable. The bread and oil was great and we liked the balsamic Brussel sprouts. The pasta was relatively normal and the sausage and meatball was on the colder side and not very tender.
I have been here multiple times, but always eat everything before I can snap photos since the food and drinks are so delicious. I always like to make sure I get the nonnas meatballs and I am obsessed with the carbonara. The drinks are really strong and the ambiance is awesome. Music isn’t too loud so you can actually hear people speak. Servers and barbacks are extremely attentive. Service is very fast every time I go.
Went here for dinner with friends. We sat outside as the weather was good. The staff was pleasant and engaging. They gave us some bread while we waited for our meals. Most of our meals were actually delicious. I had the paccheri and grilled chicken, which I enjoyed. The sauce was vodka based with some marinara. The cocktails were good, and they have mocktail options as well. They did double charge us, but after calling them, they said they would rectify it. We had tiramisu for dessert, which was okay. I would like to visit again.
So delicious, great service! very accommodating, fair prices. Food was fantastic - favorites were the carbonara and the carpaccio. They also accidentally brought us the hamachi crudo which we didnt order but kindly let us keep it, and it was fantastic as well :)
Came here with my wife and our newborn son for a quick dinner.
All of the people who work here are super kind and friendly.

A wonderful date night with the wife. Drinks for starters, in which the Luna Loop was my favorite. A smoky mezcal delight. The Bucatini Carbanara definitely lived up to the hype. I really wish I had parmesean to go with it, but the waitress forgot to offer it. They offered a killer Ceasar Salad with pungent anchovies. The King of the Night was the dry aged Ribeye. Please visit this staple in West loop.

My family and I visited this restaurant with the aim of experiencing its italian offerings, and we were pleasantly surprised by the exceptional service and warm interactions provided by the servers: Michael, Daniel, and Leonardo. Additionally, the attentive approach of the manager, Jesus, greatly contributed to our overall positive experience. The service was of such high quality that any patron would undoubtedly find themselves highly content.
During our brunch, we ordered the Frittata, Benedicts, and Orecchiette. We made a special request to have the Rock Shrimp replaced with Calamari, and this substitution was handled gracefully. At our table, we shared bites of each other's dishes, and we were thoroughly delighted by the exquisite flavors presented.
To add a final perfect touch, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a complimentary Tiramisu to share. This thoughtful gesture added to our appreciation of the exceptional service. We are definite in our decision to return to this establishment. Please convey our heartfelt appreciation to the Chef, the servers, and the managerial team. Keep up the excellent work! We wholeheartedly award a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
As always when driving up from Fort Wayne, we made sure to make reservations at Formento’s. This is the best Italien place in Chicago!! And their staff is awesome!
I had the sweet corn dish, it had very unique flavors. It was a ravioli stuffed with ricotta cheese and a beautiful butter lime sauce. You want to try something new, then you must try this.
