They somehow find a way to make the food and experience even better than the last time you were there—which seems impossible given it’s a 10/10 every time I’ve been. The Valentine’s Day setup was extraordinary and the service was top notch per usual. Will be back soon. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Service: Dine in Price per person: $100+

I visited all of the venues and met with the special event representatives of each places. Formento's had the perfect private space that I wanted. I especially liked the old brick walls and antique wooden cabinet in the room. What really helped me decide to choose this place over the others is the Director of Sales, India D. Compared to the other event representatives whom I've dealt with, India's sincerity and thoughtfulness stood out. 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. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

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 wouldhave gave 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 neverhad a restaurant turn me away for having a service dog, with forms in hand. This was the first.
