*Please note that this week's dinner is tomorrow the first of September.*
Fornaro Restaurant and Gourmet Pizza, is a boutique restaurant nestled in the heart of Coconut Grove. The restaurant offers authentic Italian cuisine with a modern twist and is known for its signature Polpettone dish. The restaurant is the first U.S. venture for veteran restaurateur and owner, Lorenzo Ramon. With more than 20 years of culinary experience and five critically acclaimed restaurants in Sao Paolo and Bahia, Brazil, Ramon has spent the last year in Miami perfecting his twist on unassuming yet delicious traditional Italian dishes. Casual, yet upscale in presentation and taste, Fornaro brings the delicacies of Italy to be enjoyed by all.
