Chicago Food｜Italian Recommendation — Formento's 🇮🇹🍝

Nestled in the lively Fulton Market of West Loop, Formento's is a tribute by the owner to his grandmother — blending traditional and modern Italian flavors with heart. Choose between the cozy, brick-walled interior or the airy, flower-filled patio — both have great vibes. Their in-house cocktails are excellent — we tried the seasonal specials, all refreshing and well-balanced, perfect for a warm day. Highlights below ‼️ 🍈 Speck and Cantaloupe (Limited-time dish) Italian cured ham + sweet melon + a touch of spicy sauce (kinda like Lao Gan Ma!). Surprisingly delicious — great with drinks. 🐙 Grilled Octopus Charred, tender octopus legs — smoky and flavorful. A must for octopus lovers. 🦐 Orecchiette with Shrimp & Squid Ink Cat ear pasta with fresh shrimp and cherry tomatoes — solid, though not extraordinary. 🍝 Bucatini Carbonara RECOMMEND ‼️ Hollow spaghetti with egg yolk, pancetta, and creamy sauce — mix in the runny yolk for a rich, savory, perfectly seasoned dish. So good! A great spot with good value, tasty drinks, and friendly service — definitely worth a visit. 【Formento's】 📍 925 Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60607 #ChicagoEats #ItalianFood #FultonMarket #DateNightSpot #ChicagoFoodie #CocktailHour 🍝🍹
