- Real Nice Wines - There has always been an Italian way and then the other way. For an Italian immigrant in America in the 1950s the community was self-sufficient. There was a bread man, a coal man, an ice man, a fruit and vegetable man that serviced the neighborhoods. It wasn’t about going to the store it was about the goods coming to you. The wine program at Formento’s is based on that same ideal of personal service. We want our wine stewards and sommeliers to be your wine men and women, helping you make your way through more than 300 selections available. Our goal is to be a trusted advisor and a friend, a consigliere to every guest who has a question about wine. At Formento’s every night should feel like a Sunday family dinner.
