Formento’s
Red sauce and old-school hospitality on a new street.

Why it is on the list
Formento’s is red-sauce Chicago dropped onto a new street and told to behave. It does not. Chicken parm, garlic bread, a Negroni at the bar: this is hospitality with a memory of the old rooms downtown. Good for parents, clients, and anyone tired of small plates. It will not win a modernity contest. It will send you home full and a little nostalgic, which is the assignment.
