Formento's

B. Hospitality (The Bristol, Balena, Nonna's) opened the doors to their sprawling Randolph Street restaurant back in 2015, and have been serving up brilliant takes on mid-century Southern Italian cuisine ever since—even with a menu overhaul leaning toward lighter, seafood- and veggie-focused fare arriving a year later. The dining room's retro vibe—complete with crimson banquette seating and vintage black-and-white photos—invites diners to try classically inspired innovations like Canestri, a heap of ricotta-topped pasta covered in pork neck gravy and accompanied by spicy fennel sausage and melt-in-your-mouth meatballs.
