Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Elmwood Park

Wonderful salmon and traditional meatballs w spaghetti. Great Marinara sausce.

Forno Rosso in Chicago serves authentic Neapolitan pizza with a perfectly charred crust, fresh ingredients, and a true wood-fired oven taste.

The experience was sublime. Lauren the manager, the hosts and bartender slash server Megan…all professional and thoughtful. The food was remarkable and the suggestions were well described. The kitchen delivered! Short Rib Hummus, the Wild Mexican Prawns and the Whole Branzino…my thumbs would fall off because of how much I’d like to say. We ordered two cocktails, whiskey & bourbon based, as well as red wine. The wine selection is comprehensive. I will be returning soon!

We were here for a birthday dinner and had a lovely time. The service was excellent with a server who had humor and was attentive. The menu is very interesting offering a wode variety of choices and take on trditional dishes like the Garrsoulet I had, a take off of Cassoulet of course. The Lardo and Tomato toast appetizer was delicous and everyones meal was excellent. The prices are on the high side but we were satisfied. I also reccomment the steak tartare and the burger. The atmosphere is elegant but casual and lovely.

The restaurant wasn’t very busy at the time we went, so it’s hard to judge what the noise level would be if they were full. It’s a cute place with delicious pizza and very helpful and accommodating staff. We had a very nice time!
